ok, black fathers better?The question has been raised: Where is the racism?
Right here:
1. The point where these two factors cross is what has brought us to the brink of destruction of our nation:
a. The pre-eminence of envy, self-fulfillment, and lack of responsibility replacing integrity, morality and regard for the future.
b. Without the black vote, Democrats would never win a national election.
2. So, with their power on the line, the major political party has found ways to rubber-stamp every pathology that holds back the black population. The guidance vacuum that the Democrats created, was filled by Marxism.
a. After losing power, Leon Trotsky would claim that the reason that communism had not been successful was that Stalin had not been ruthless enough in his efforts to eliminate the family. See Trotsky's The Revolution Betrayed, trans. Max Eastman, New York, 1965, pp. 145ff.Read more: The Abolition of the Family

Video surfaces of Black Lives Matter founder saying, "We are trained Marxists"
A 2015 video clip has surfaced of an interview with Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors in which she assures her interviewer that the group has an underlying ideology, saying, "We're trained Marxists."disrn.com
3. "The biggest problem facing the Black community today, says Elder, is the absence of fathers. In the 1960s, most Black children were raised in two-parent households. That changed when our government’s War on Poverty began.
The handouts sent the message that it’s the government’s job, not your responsibility, to take care of you and your kids. “A mother with two children makes more money than she would make on minimum wage because of all the goodies she gets through the welfare state!”
Now, he says, Black Lives Matter actually encourages the breakup of families. Their website does say, “disrupt the Western-prescribed, nuclear family.”
That’s a Karl Marx idea straight from “The Communist Manifesto.” BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors proudly describes herself as a “trained Marxist.”
John Stossel: Anti-racist racists
BLACK LIVES MATTER protests led many people to want to do something useful to reduce racial injustice. Racial justice groups are being flooded with money.www.unionleader.com
"Racism has never been more insignificant a factor in one’s success than right now.”
Ibid.
The only people who listen to Larry Elders are other mentally afflicted not whites suffering from internalized racism and white racists seeking validation of their lunacy.

Todays lesson-MODERN DRAPETOMANIA, The Lie of the Absent Black Father.
Drapetomania was a conjectural mental illness that, in 1851, American physician Samuel A. Cartwright hypothesized as the cause of enslaved Africans fleeing captivity. White People actually believed that blacks loved being slaves and the only reason they would run away is due to a mental disorder. This madness was recognized as both scientific and medical fact. People believed this despite the fact there was no evidence supporting such a belief. Today there are many similar silly "theories" be pushed by the racist subgroup in the white community. These wobbly theories have also been promoted in the black community mainly by accommodationist blacks. Regardless of who is doing it, these theories have no basis in realty.
The one we will confront now is Absent Black Father myth.
On June 8, 2015, Charles Blow wrote an article in the New York Times titled, “Black Dads Are Doing Best of All.” Our Asian wonder should have read it. This article takes apart the tale of black fathers not being around for their kids. The issue of unwed births really have no relation to whether 2 parents are around. An unwed birth is a child being born and the couple is not married. That does not mean a man and a woman are not together raising the child. The single mother narrative got destroyed long ago, because a single mother doesn’t mean a man will not be around to influence the child as it grows up. One fantastic example is the story Shaquille O’Neill tells about his relationship with Sergeant Phillip Harrison who raised him with his mother. Finally, the appearance of Barack Obama on the world stage allows me to say once and for all that a single parent family is not the cause of the problems blacks face.
However this article shows that the majority of black children in this country live with their fathers or their fathers are active participants in their lives. So a mother and father ARE present in the majority of black homes, therefore the issues blacks face are not solely related to out of wedlock births or single parent families.
Josh Levs points this out in his new book, “All In,” in a chapter titled “How Black Dads Are Doing Best of All (But There’s Still a Crisis).” One fact that Levs quickly establishes is that most black fathers in America live with their children: “There are about 2.5 million black fathers living with their children and about 1.7 million living apart from them.”
Charles Blow
A report named “Fathers’ Involvement With Their Children: United States, 2006–2010,” was published by the Centers for Disease Control in the National Health Report on December 20, 2013. The findings are interesting for those who have decided they can paint black culture in moral terms. Moral terms that 244 years of American history show whites who have decided they can do the painting refuse hold themselves to.
The findings in this study debunk the standard racist white narrative to the point that it is miseducation, misinformation, lies, or whatever word you want to give to the purposeful deception provided to describe a race of people. Some of the findings are as follows:
A higher percentage of fathers who lived with their children under age 5 fed or ate meals with them daily—72% compared with 7.9% of fathers with noncoresidential children. A higher percentage of fathers living apart from their children did not feed or eat meals with them at all in the last 4 weeks—43% compared with 0.8% of fathers with coresidential children (Table 2). Variation by Hispanic origin and race was seen in the percentages of coresidential fathers who ate meals with their children every day. Specifically, Hispanic fathers were less likely to eat meals with their children every day (64%) than were non-Hispanic white (74%) or non-Hispanic black (78%) fathers.
There was a significant difference by Hispanic origin and race among fathers with coresidential children: Black fathers (70%) were most likely to have bathed, dressed, diapered, or helped their children use the toilet every day compared with white (60%) and Hispanic fathers (45%).
A higher percentage of Hispanic fathers aged 15–44 (52%) had not played with their noncoresidential children in the last 4 weeks compared with white (30%) and black (25%) fathers.
Larger percentages of Hispanic (82%) and white (70%) fathers had not helped their noncoresidential children with homework at all in the last 4 weeks compared with black fathers (56%).
Pew estimates that 67 percent of black dads who don’t live with their kids see them at least once a month, compared to 59 percent of white dads and just 32 percent of Hispanic dads. And there’s compelling evidence that number of black dads living apart from their kids stems from structural systems of inequality and poverty, not the unfounded assumption that African-American men somehow place less value on parenting. Equal numbers of black dads and white dads tend to agree that it’s important to be a father who provides emotional support, discipline, and moral guidance. There’s one area of divergence in the way the two groups approach their parental responsibilities: Black dads are even more likely to think it’s important to financially provide for their children.
Simply put, the unwed, single mom, absent black father is not the cause of crime or violence in black communities.
Where daddy? At home with his children.
The root cause of the problems blacks face is white racism.

anyways, a more current example
Trump stokes 'birther' conspiracy theory about Kamala Harris
The US president fuels a fringe idea, echoing his past baseless claims about Barack Obama's origins.www.bbc.com
The Birther Theory came out of Hillary's campaign, and Obama told his agent he was from an African country.
And Michelle expanded on it.
Strange, huh?
1. Hillary Clinton's campaign began the view that Hussein was born elsewhere
“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy,” Trump said today. His campaign subsequently circulated a link to a memo written by Clinton’s 2008 chief strategist, Mark Penn, suggesting they promote then Senator Obama’s “lack of American roots,” as well as the transcript of an interview Clinton’s 2008 campaign manager Patty Solis Doyle, where she tells Wolf Blitzer a staffer forwarded an email promoting the birther conspiracy in 2007, but that staffer was immediately fired.
Penn did write a memo in 2007 saying that Obama’s foreign background could present a weakness for him, and Clinton should emphasize her middle-class Midwestern upbringing.
"His roots to American values and culture are at best limited," the memo says. "I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and values."
Fact-Checking Trump's Claim Clinton Started 'Birther' Movement
2. Hussein himself told his agent/publisher to write that he was from Kenya....or, did they just pick a country out of a hat?
"A 1991 literary promotional booklet identified Barack Obama as having been born in Kenya.
TRUE
Obama's Literary Agent Said He Was Born in Kenya?
3. Michelle Obama made the claim that Kenya was Hussein's 'homecountry'
So….what's the beef???
