I agree completely - and I think Rev. Sharpton's presence turns off some parts of the target audience, which is incredibly unfortunate. But yeah, I definitely didn't mean to imply that being anti-Sharpton = anti-black, but instead the opposite.
I meant more that the link is much much longer and more convoluted (in a causation sense, especially) than the link between both a father and mother figure in the house and lower incidence of criminal or detrimental behavior, but this point is well-taken.

The U.S. is the world leader in families without fathers. From 1960 to 1990, the number of children living only with their mother jumped from 5,100,000 to 15,600,000. Just 27% of American kids live with their biological mother and father.
