I agree but from what I've seen, it isn't about sex, its about egos.
I believe a lot of women could raise strong men, but for some reason they have a need to be about themselves. They will support the children with the basics such as food, clothing, and shelter, but when it comes to the emotions, they can't do it. I thought it was just me, but as I got older, I see it is wasnt, and it is still happening from what I see.
With the daughters, they do it because they are females themselves so they can do more things with them, and relate to them. With a son, you really have to sacrifice to be involved with them, and from what I see most aren't willing to do that.
The sad thing is, in our community the mother, and grandmother is GOD, and that means you can't talk about the things they do that hurt us, and that means the bullshyt will just keep going because even if you are in your child's life, if you don't get along with the mother, in the end you will lose your power, and she will be the one to guide the child the way she wants him to go. It's not just black children, its starting to hit every race.
I know for me when I started acknowledging what I felt was wrong, I got more power within myself. Unfortunately, I became the bad guy in most people's eyes. I don't give a fukk, I'm a man, and stand on my own. I just wish we as a people would stop playing these bullshyt games because its hurting us. Women need to accept when they are in the wrong, and stop playing that "I was a bad mother" game to gain sympothy.
And we as men need to grow up, and stop trying to make our parents happy, and not ruffle any feathers. You can love someone, and tell them the truth of how they are. If not, you will end up marrying or impregnating a new version of your mother, and the bullshyt will continue with your children. I don't think it's a coincidence that a lot of men end up hating their baby mothers, even though they picked them. They never dealt with their mother issues, and end up being with their mother, 2.0.

My cousin's wife's late son 
I was at a fourth of July party last year when I met dude. Early 20s fresh out of the Military with a infant daughter. He was cool but something wasn't right about him. Like he was shook about something. I'm thinking breh must have saw some things in Iraq
. PTSD was easy to detect.
Two weeks after that party , my mom tells me he offed himself

Black men are just weak, we are a disgraceful group... Now we are becoming bytch asses to add to the growing things that are wrong with us.
Black men usually take their own lives after a huge L over a woman,
not necessarily for economic reasons like White men do..
Depression in our society is not linked to economics but our interpersonal relationships.

I disagree wholeheartedly. Also, these statistics aren't a representation of black males, but black children between the ages of 5 and 11. They haven't even hit puberty yet or have the life experience to develop a strong sense of self.
Aren't you suicidal? Get the fukk out of here.
Anywhoodles, these kids don't have fathers in the household, terrible communities, diminishing college and career prospects, they don't get any respect or care from society (increasingly not even by their own women) and the crushing weight of white supremacy all over them. Who wants to live in that crap sack world? Black people are living in a dystopian society.
