And I don't honestly believe anyone (outside of certain strains of far-left thought) are opposed to fathers being in the home.
Regarding the economic dimensions of the issue, I think Trump was onto something with the "Opportunity Zones" initiative, though I'm not familiar enough with the details to know if they were/are a success, or if the implementation was carried out effectively.
As for who to blame for black crime, I think it is a very complex issue. While I presume there are individual cases perhaps where an offender deserves 100% of the blame, I think kids growing up in economically distressed & crime-ridden areas don't stand a chance, even if some of them grow to transcend their situation.
While I'm doubtful about "system racism" as an idea, particularly because it is all too often used in service of anti-white race-baiting, I do think the black community faces inequality for a myriad of socio-economic reasons. For an idea of where my heart has always been in that regard, see the letter I wrote to an Indiana prosecutor back in 2014, who at the time was calling for the death penalty for a young black man:

The relevant passage:
The extent to which these factors play a role in this case is for a jury to decide, though recent events in Ferguson, Missouri, as just one example, indicate that America has a racial disparity problem with serious public safety implications. As I’m sure you already know, Census Bureau figures show that an astounding 86% of those on Death Row are either black or latino. And given that death penalty states for the most part also happen to be ones that spend less on education than the others, it is evident that there are underlying social issues needing to be addressed beyond the personal guilt or innocence of someone like Mr. Davis.
By not addressing poverty and inequality, does the state do right by its citizens? What social costs are exacted in the name of austerity policies that reduce access to quality health services and education among those who happen to go on to commit the lion’s share of violent crime? And is it really fair to judge and punish Mr. Davis as if his alleged crime occurred in a societal vacuum, with something as final and brutal as the death penalty?
I’m not saying it’s up to you to rectify all of these social ills, as they are above and beyond your station as prosecutor. What you can do, however, is take a broader look at the situation and ask yourself if all of your constituents are truly being served by having yet another black man face state execution, an outcome you have already admitted will do nothing to save lives.
