Hey all...here is an interesting discussion found on YouTube on "Why do black fathers abandon their children?" I felt it is worthy to be discussed. Weight in! Let's here your perspective? How do we make this better?

We can start by not making excuses... I've heard them all. Unless we start teaching young black men to value things other than cars, shoes, jewelry, we can't expect them to value their families. We have to hold them accountable for their actions, while providing a loving, nuturing environment from them to learn from their mistakes.
Hi! I weighed in on this topic, but my comment's not here! Oops! MSNBC and the rest of these Corporate media are forever stuck on "Black Problems" as if only black people have them. I feel that their motives are less than helpful to us, and this kinds of "round table discussions" are forever being made! I still think a better discussion and one more relevant might be why is it that white people after all this time still have racism in their hearts, which is part of the "black problem"? How can white people start dealing with the racism that is forced down their throats and causes them to be so reactionary and angry at black people who simply want to make progress? Why are they being manipulated to want to stop our progress at every turn? And why are they so afraid of our progress? That is a worthy subject for MSNBC to finally delve into and maybe it would help black people to do better than this simple survival mode that makes us resort to all of the things that I know are being spoken about in these pieces! black-folks.blogspot.com
