I said
and you promptly posted a link to the New York Times
Even given you data is shows that 17% per 100 men are "missing". Do you know how vague that is overall. Did they die naturally, via accident or illness or in violence?
Were they all locked up for violent offenses and for extended period of times? But most importantly that means a majority of means a majority of men are still around right?...83%. I mean my cousin's father would be considered "missing" because he got killed in an auto accident by a drunk driver at 25. My homegirl's brother would fit that missing bill because he died from a heart attack at 21 years old.
And of my family and friends 9/10 of us know ours. See how that works? But since you want some mainstream proof...he's an article using the CDC rates.

The fact is that most black kids know their fathers and have them actively in their lives. But i guess you are thinking all black people that grew up in the hood fit that stat though? It's cool though...i mean it's called implicit bias and most people have it. It's just that some of us know about the conditioning and choose not to believe the hype.
As a black father I took offense to that bs New York Times article dude posted. I seriously can't think of any black people I know who don't know who there father is. Also when this does happen it's usually the mom who chooses. not to have her kid know the father, for whatever reason, and that happens in all races
Brehs, is Y.G. the same nikka who sang that Racks on Rack on Racks song?
