Fathers have lots of power when they live in the home and do the daily work of raising their children. It's not that hard. My husband does it every day and so do all his friends with kids.

Black fathers matter and are desperately needed.

They do but they are in the home not outside the home. Even if this man was alive he is most likely living in his mothers house. So he can’t really parent.

These bad kids are coming from a minority of men dead or in jail or living with there mama

Then the son could have lived with him at his mother's house*. That boy needed daily instruction/modeling by a male who wasn't one of his equally destructive peers.

*The mama might have fought him on it, I agree, but it would have been worth the fight if it could have gotten that boy on a better path.

Not if the mother wants him at his house a man doesn’t get low income housing

Speechless but not shocked. Lil' nikka never had a chance. I don't want to demonize him like some others here but he was definitely headed to the grave or the pen at that rate. Rest up little man. He probably live right off Northside.

The last picture of the Instagram is all u need to know, that none of these kids fathers was in the home and was just random nikkas from one night stands , dope boys or ex cons who didn’t give a fukk and u have a single mother who raised the little nikka with rap music playing while he sitting in the back seat or the kid seeing random nikkas go up in mom every night or mom as usual leave the boys over at grandmas so she can hit the Atlanta clubs to find Gucci mane or lil baby

This really pushes back against the femicide rate that certain Black women try to claim.

Black men are overwhelmingly the victims of gun violence.

This does not negate that. Wtf??

This does not negate that. Wtf??

Yes it does.


Black women are tiny percentage of Black gun related deaths.


Compared to other women it's higher though.

Women period are a small percentage of gun deaths. No one ever debated that or argued otherwise.

But when we are killed by gun or murdered period, who’s doing it?

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Kemp’s Georgia…

Yeah, because it was a real utopia before him. You do realize that most of people carrying guns causing problems wouldn't even fall under the "constitutional carry" law right?

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I know they grieving but it's his parents fault. kid should have been at home.

if you can't raise children please don't bring them here man for their sake and ours.

Don’t give a shyt.

He’s in power, it’s his problem.

Yep. So many dudes are NOT in the household raising their children, the question of where the father was barely came up. And when you brought it up, the default deflections came out.
This is the root of most of the lawlessness and violence these young boys get into.

Dumbass. The same people out there killing black men are the same ones killing black women. I don't know why so many of you weak ass dudes love competing against black women so much.

Smoking weed, toting guns, posing in front of luxury cars, and reciting murder music bar for bar at 12. Gee, I wonder where he got all that from? Who are his inspirations ?

But it's antiblack to suggest that maybe this culture is destructive and it would be in our best interests to reform it. Wanting to do away with degeneracy shouldn't get the pushback that it does. Illiterates with nothing but a backpack and some baby formula shouldn't be able to lap us up in one generation.
