Damned by faint praise. After all , 70% of black fathers have little or nothing to do with their children's rearing.

Baby-daddies really suck at that.

No, the state of black-American youth is an abysmal failure by any standard. Skewed statistics is not going to save enough of them from crime, murder and incarceration. You have no point..

What an asshole. As if bullshit graphics from the NAACP are empirical proof regarding any reality on America's mean streets. Of course there are millions of decent black men in this country; I knew many in Vietnam and in the military at large and in my life ever since, but that doesn't excuse the millions who aren't decent, who gun each other down at horrific rates every year, and who make life so miserable for the rest of society. Have the guts to face life's problems head-on instead of finding proxy targets for your hate. It makes you leftists look such fucking cowards.

I also appreciate the fact that when I post something positive on blacks I get attacked and called an asshole because...yanno, I shouldnt do that or something

 

[RetiredGySgt]

And you conveniently ignore the fact that most black fathers have multiple kids from multiple women and live and support NONE of them.

 

[Asclepias]

Man! These white boys get their panties twisted over every piece of positive Black news. My guess is they want to be Black. Blackaphobics.
