That’s a lot of fathers that stepped up

yes but one could argue that Black boys are being groomed to be step fathers...Not a good luck for the health of the overall community

let @Another Mans seed call you daddy brehs

Point is, our culture and particularly black men, have been the poster children of creating single parent homes for decades now.

Which is hilarious because most of the black men i associate myself in real life either don’t have children, are raising their own children in a fully functioning 2-parent household, or are/have been raising someone’s else children by their own choice.

Now I’ve noticed much more lately that it’s other cultures having the single parent households now. Some by black men sure, but a lot by men in their own culture or from men from others just the same.

In fact, I’ve noticed more from dating sites like BLK, a lot of these single mothers are actually targeting black men which sometimes feels like an insult.


But still, black men are talked about as being damn near the fukked up ones creating all of these single parent households while this study show’s we’re the ones willing to step up and help women who are single mothers while they (and other cultures of men) are not willing to do the same.

I actually feel like women in particular are less likely to get with a man if he’s a single father who is raising his own children. Or if they do, the man is blamed for not attending to her needs if he decides to put his own kids first as women constantly tell men who are in the dating world with them.

With the high rate of out-of-wedlock births, wouldn't it make sense since the chances a blacc woman you'll marry would already have a kid?

I think more black boys need to be groomed to stick around and be in the home of the kids they helped make. The biological fathers need to be involved in their kids life—and seeing that we have a big problem with that not taking place across our community I think that’s perhaps even more concerning.

I do think this next gen probably won’t be as likely to take on the role of a step parent or even have kids altogether. I say that because the marriage is already incredibly low among bw and bm, compared to other groups and the direction it’s trending in is that will be even lower over time. Thus I see less marriages and less step dads in the future. The plus is that the OOW rate is going down too, so less single moms and children that look to their step dads as fathers.

I hope you're right on the OOW births in the black community's future.

Not me

Keep them kids and that blown out box away from me.

The biological father need to step up before anything IMO

 

[13473]

In the 76 percent

Are u married? If they have stepkids this stat is about married men not all bm.

Idk the percent married. If it's a third then a fourth of a third of all bm have stepkids.

By the mothers who don’t give a fukk at all.

Especially as you get older. Harder to find a non-single mother of any race and culture over 25 from my experience.

Where are the biological fathers of those kids?

If mothers are not raising your kids in the same household as the biological father, then it is a waste of time. That 2 times per week visitation is not enough for a stable relationship in the children's formative years.

The women fall in love and don't wait till marriage for kids. So they pop a baby out without knowing for sure if the man will stsy

A lot of Women are just dumb as fukk. I don't know why most don't wait till marriage.

Just go young. 23-28 and you good. If you stay in the 30+ range you better be ready to play step daddy
