They ran with this one for decades. And who wants to bet it was Moist Twatkins who questioned these facts???
Black fatherless myth shattered. If you grew up without a father you were in the minority. Stats have been misused to push a false narrative

Yall nikkas will fall for anything. There is no way you grew up in a black community within the last 40 years and didn’t notice that there are a significant amount of kids who have absentee fathers

As a father dealing with some personal shyt with a child, I’ll just say, all of these supposed safeguards meant to protect the child don’t exist. Multiply the lack of assistance to fathers, particularly Black fathers, is tenfold when you reach out for it. Believe me when I tell y’all this, Black men, we truly are on our own out here.

I feel like this is the case for every community.

I grew up in a 2 parent household. Both of my parents had children before they met each other and had me.
I have one uncle who's married to his wife with children.
There's such a small number of black men who raised their children on both sides of my parents family, my father is the go-to man you talk to when you need financial or career advice for both sides.
That doesn't mean they were the majority. And what exactly do you mean "Black community"???

“black absentee father” trope =/= black fatherless HOMES
Every Black House hold isn't modeled after yours.What a dumb thread. The community wouldn't currently be in the disastrous state it currently is if black kids were growing up with strong fathers in their households. Bury your heads in the sand though.

Mostly due to death or jail doe. Most chicks I fukk with BD's are in the picture if not dead or locked up. All my nikkas are in their kids lives.
Most dudes are either in the life financially but not with them enough or with them enough but can't provide enough financially, considering he is separated from the mother.
My BM is alive and free, but she's an alcoholic and that is her life. She doesn't even call my child, never bought her anything, never taught her anything. Absolutely useless.
There are dudes like that too, but that shyt ain't the majority. Not even close.

I think the video is making the argument about how many fathers are in a child's life, not ALL of their children's lives. If you are supporting one child, but neglecting three others, I don't think it balances out.
I also didn't have a pops in my life and think that him insinuating that it's women's fault is disingenuous.
lol smh.

Let’s just full stop with this. It ain’t true for every woman just like it’s not fair to say all Black fathers are deadbeats. But there’s a fair share Black women who ain’t bout shyt just like the men. Using the child as a bargaining chip, manipulating the child against the father, taking out their anger on the child cause “you just like your daddy,” putting a man on child support cause he moved on. Y’all gotta stop shooting these bytches so much bail and treating them like they’re the innocent victims in all this. There’s lots of BM who are being prevented from being a father (and that’s to not excuse the ones who aren’t making an effort).
