When surfing the net the other day I ran across this trailer. I won’t give any initial commentary because this four and a half minutes says it all.
It would be easy to pass blame around as to who is at fault that Black fathers aren’t in the home raising their daughters.
It would be easy to pass blame on the “no good Black men” because they aren’t there for their children.
It would be easy to pass blame to the “overbearing Black woman” because either she ran him off or ((shrugging)) ULTIMATELY it was HER choice as to who impregnated her.
And how dare anyone bring up those staggering numbers of over 1.8 million Black women between the ages of 18-24 grew up without their biological fathers in the home.
BLAME
BLAME
BLAME
STOP!!
The reality is if these numbers are true:
Over 1.8 million Black women between the ages of 18-24 have not had a productive father figure in their lives.
Over 1.8 million Black women between the ages of 18-24 have not felt a father’s love.
Over 1.8 million Black women between the ages of 18-24 might be searching for love in all of the wrong places because they have not felt their father’s love.
The reality is:
Over 1.8 million Black women between the ages of 18-24 REALLY need for everyone to stop blaming other people as to the reason why there wasn’t a father figure in their lives. Over 1.8 million Black women between the ages of 18-24 need for our lives to be different so when the next wave of 18-24 year old Black women come along, they are not part of another statistic.
Are you one of those to help or are you going to continue to pass the blame?
There’s my 300 words…
I spend a lot of late nights thinking of things to ramble about. So... if you LUV what you see... CONTRIBUTE. Thanks...
