Well, we do know it isn't anything to do with race, or, say anti-black racism (like the left so loves to blame), because we can look at African-born immigrants and see that they and their families do leaps and bounds better than African-Americans native to America, despite often coming to the country with a state of poverty far lower than anything any 'poor' in America have ever experienced. So it clearly has nothing to do with race, nor anti-black racism (they're black as well, often even moreso than native-born African-Americans.
In reality, I suspect most of it is a culture thing. The current greatest threat to African Americans in the US is the culture that has developed in their communities in the last 40 or so years, IMO.

As for the first two, typically you end up helping two and putting three in the unemployment line. That's not a net gain. But then again, one of the leaders from your side is positively giddy about high unemployment numbers calling it "funemployment" and talking about how lucky they are to have the time to pursue favorite past-times and hobbies.

Stay in school, don't have a kid when you're still one yourself and when you graduate, stay employed.
If you want to improve the odds even more I'd add stay away from drugs and alcohol. I'd be willing to wager that is a factor with the majority of the 25% who don't advance out of poverty following those three simple steps.
