are we still surprised at these stats?

to my coli brehs for parenting their offspring

Use facts to counter stereotypes brehs

This is all most people see:

The resistance to the research in the field may speak to the fact that racially-motivated stereotypes are particularly hard to break out of. For instance, despite the wealth of evidence disproving Americans’ assumptions about welfare recipients, the deeply-ingrained myth of the “welfare queen” remains.

 

[Easy-E]

Although black fathers are more likely to live separately from their children — the statistic that’s usually trotted out to prove the parenting “crisis” — many of them remain just as involved in their kids’ lives. Pew estimates that 67 percent of black dads who don’t live with their kids see them at least once a month, compared to 59 percent of white dads and just 32 percent of Hispanic dads.

This is the most impressive part.

Of course all the other stuff is good, but; we still live away from our kids, the most.

Great article and usually something you don't see in thecoli.

But, I haven't read the other coli comments hopefully we just live black women live.

I want a psychological study on women who push men away during and after pregnancies.

I'm glad they finally pulled some numbers on co-parenting. I've always said that just because we have a high number of out of wedlock births, doesn't mean men the men are completely absent from their children's lives.

I didn't know that seeing your child "at least once a month" meant you were considered an active parent.

Me and all my peers are there for our kids. But then again my motto is there's no prize for doing what you are supposed to be doing in the first place. You just do it.

Compared to not at all, I'd say that's pretty active.

True, that's a pretty low bar, but the point is its a bar that's met by more black father's than white fathers. We never hear about a "lack of dads" in their communities.

psychological? Hormonal maybe. My wife was all Carey for about 3 months after each kid. I went all biotch mode, it goes away though...

yeah but across the board it's over half (except for black father...big ups on that)

But that low ass bar is scary

White people always push negative stereotypes on minorities. It's always been that way in America.
Even Native-Americans are tarred with the "alcoholic" stereotype, despite being outnumbered by white alcoholics by more than a million to one.
You don't see white men being stereotyped as child sex predators
