Disclaimer: Let me just say I have been raised by both my biological parents so before anyone says "OP's just gunning for stepfathers cause his father wasn't there".
For decades Black women have gone on tv and talked about how black men need to step up and that black men aren't raising their children. Single black mothers get all the praise, and even have been starting to claim Father's Day.
But how come step fathers get no praise? These men more often times than not are willing to commit to and build with a woman that has children by another man, and sometimes multiple men. These men raise these kids as their own flesh and blood and many times the single mother doesn't even give these men biological children of their own.
A lot of times these men are there so the woman is more financially secure. And many times get cheated on with the biological father, or some dude that would never step up and become a father to a single mother's kids.
And yet, they still step up and take the role of being a father to children that aren't theirs biologically. There are even men who unknowingly raise children that aren't theirs, find out and still want to be in said child(ren)'s lives.
These men go unnoticed in media, blogs catering to black women, etc.
If you asked me 5 years ago: "Could you date a single mother?" I would have told you yes. But due to all the horror stories I've heard and the cons outweighing the pros, today I have no interest whatsoever in dating single mothers.
Though these men are called simps and made a laughing stock of, I have respect for them because they are able to do something that I can't nor do not want to do.
How many children have been blessed with great stepfathers and positively impacted because of them?

at all the drugged out zombies and half fags out there that will be unfit to lead the community forward in the next decade or so. 
. But hats off to raising another nikkas kid on some real shyt 
I can't even hate anymore because I'm not shooting into these pussies and avoiding doing it. As I get older though, it may be about that time to coat those walls
