The problem with condoms is that when used perfectly, they are highly effective, but they require to be used perfectly each and every time you have sex. The pill requires to be taken the same time every day, and while effective when taken properly there is a lot of misinformation about this, especially in a country that touted abstinence only education until Obama became president (although I think they're still getting some funding) and Planned Parenthood gets a shitload of opposition for its pro-choice stance AND because they give out free contraception, its a lot more complicated than just moseying on down to PP to pick up free condoms, this article is a great read:

Of course the knee jerk reaction to paint black people as welfare queens or to say they are better off as slaves than getting abortions is easier to understand I guess.
