really? a MAJORITY of black kids don't know who their biological father is?
that's a pretty bold statement.
interesting made up statistic. feel free to link a credible source.
Knowing the name of the adult male that donated the sperm to a mother does not mean that kid has a father.
Having and being a father has nothing to do with knowing who your "biological father" is.
And that is the problem that everyone has their damn head in the sand about.
It should not be taboo to state the fact that there is so much crime and problems in the African American community because of a lack of male presence in the household.
In keeping with the topic of this op, I'll tailor my response around Dr. Carson and any impact he might have on the Black community if he becomes president. I haven't heard that he agrees with your assessment or not. However, as a Back man raised by a single mother he must have some insight as to how to solve these decades long accusations against the Black community. Surely he hasn't been totally blinded by the sparkle and glory afforded by his stellar achievements in neurosurgery. He MUST be familiar with the struggles Blacks have had to endure and overcome collectively and individually. What will he do to raise his people up?
Carson must remember that he is an exceptional person. There are very few WHITE people who could do what he has. He cannot expect the majority of people in any racial category to do what he has done.
Many Americans, black or white, will never be free of the bonds of poverty and hopelessness but there are more white people in raw numbers in the same predicament. In this thread that large number of poor whites seems invisible. Carson has to do what Obama did not. He has to draw attention to those poor whites to help address poverty and associated ills for all! The history of White America is as replete with violence and gangs as that of modern blacks. What did they do to curb that violence? Why haven't the same procedures been employed to curb violence and dysfunctional behavior in the Back community? Decent Black people don't control the assets necessary to do that. All their tax money goes into the white controlled coffers of the US Treasury and state tax boards. And with spending power exceeding 1 trillion annually, the argument about "most Blacks being on welfare" is bunk. Its those 23 million poor whites that are taking the largest chunk of the welfare pie! Carson needs to address that!
I oppose Obama's policies, some I supported such as allowing open service in military, but admire the man as he is a good family man and graduated from Harvard Law School having led the Harvard Law Review. You have to earn that as my cousin is a Harvard Law School grad.
Ditto Carson except I support many of his policies.
Obama is rightly praised by the left for his accomplishments but not held accountable for his failures.
Carson is called an Uncle Tom, sell out to whitey and a turn coat sell out by the left and held to a different standard than Obama.
Carson will never be elected President.
He is not offering more free shit and opposes doubling handouts.
