I think we're certainly in the same train of thought.  
  
If we simplify "we need dads" to "cultural degeneracy sucks" I think we're getting pretty close to having seats in the same car on that train.  
  
Love Thomas Sowell, but it's been WAY too long since I read his books and articles, I don't even recognize the title you mention, but I was blown away by his reasoning thirty-forty years ago.  
  
It's been hard, like having a pet put down, pulling away from Sowell's views on racial... similarity, but I end up referencing him practically every racial discussion I get into.  
  
If you don't love, and I mean really love the man, you need to be put on the sociopath watch list or something, and I guarantee that I'll cry when he dies even more than I do when I just realize that he's soon going to.  
  
If we get to vote on people to ACCURATELY model with AI for eternity, he's way up on my list!  
  
But I've grown world weary and savvy enough to recognize motivated reasoning, even from him. I don't fault him one iota for his opinion about how black people would be just like white people if they got to grow up the same. Unlike any woke liberal moron, he can and does provide justification for his claim, but reveals therein WHY woke liberal morons instinctively don't do that sort of thing.  
  
He unfailingly refers to blacks who chose to live in Germany following WW2, apparently not realizing these people are multiply filtered in order to be there.  
  
First, they qualified for military service and didn't qualify for prison. That's two filters already. Second, they were able to thrive in an ordered military environment, which is possibly two or three filters in addition to the first two. Finally, they actually preferred the prospect of living their lives, not where they grew up, but in basically the whitest, most ordered place they could even imagine living in.  
  
All that said, with the caveat that I don't believe I can truthfully say I know for sure, I think the odds are on my side.  
  
Regardless of the reasons why, whether genetics, upbringing, whatever, it seems clear that black people in America are a significant net negative on average. Regardless of how evenhanded and fair I wish to be with them, MOST of them simply hate everyone else and will actively seek to destroy whatever they see as "white" which can simply be defined as civilization if they think they can.
