on White America in freethinkers

Even without turning on the TV I know exactly what you're talking about. The only good example of a white family with a dad that's not portrayed as an idiot is Last Man Standing. But you're right, that there is an obvious push to make gay or diverse families look like the only families that are happy and treat each other well, despite all actual evidence to the contrary. Gay couples have higher divorce rates, some as high as 75%.    
  
I'm sure you've heard the phrase "You are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with." But relationships have largely been replaced by entertainment now. So people who are watching garbage TV like reality shows or listening to crap like Cardi B or Ice Spice they start to absorb those messages, and as long as people can claim that they're not as bad as some other person then society will keep lowering standards until it all looks like an episode of Jerry Springer like it does now. So there's definitely a cultural aspect that feeds into whether society will improve or be thrown off a cliff.  
  
Then there is whether laws are being upheld and to what extent. In Dubai, people don't steal because the punishment is losing your hand, and they actually follow through with that punishment. But if the laws can be ignored and people are allowed to steal up to $1000 worth of merchandise with no repercussions, then why not?  
  
Thomas Sowell goes more in depth about this in the Government Functions chapter of Basic Economics, but if you take away people's right to property, they have no incentive to work. It basically eliminates self-accountability because there is no incentive. Our government knows this and has done this intentionally so eventually the masses will demand government intervention to stop all the crime so they can expand their powers even further.  
  
All this to say, to some degree I see your point, but eliminating one race wouldn't solve the problem. It's a bottom-up issue that can only be solved by people abandoning the victim mentality and start taking some accountability for their own actions.
