Black America's problem is that we don't have strong black fathers.

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Yeah because we never accepted Malcom, Stokely, Farrakhan, etc.

/sarcasm

As a whole we absolutely did not

Yes there's systematic racism, poverty, and no opportunities, but those really aren't excuses to rob and kill. In order to overcome those things you need a strong leader for guidance. I see all these young kids and teens doing dumb shyt, and I'm willing to bet it's because they don't have a proper father figure. A strong father will teach his boys how to properly move around systematic racism, how to avoid being a statistic whether it's jail or death, and how to legally hustle in a poverty environment.

Edit: Am I tripping or did this initially say black leaders and not fathers in the title?

My previous reply was for a different discussion if the title did change. So I deleted my previous reply

The issue is the traits that don’t make for good parents are the exact same traits that a lot of people find sexually and romantically attractive

I think that this is low key the honest to god's truth that a lot of people in the BC would never acknowledge...people just like what they like and they cycle will continue.

Children learn how to navigate and move based on Fathers or Father figures. A woman can't teach a Black boy how to become a Black Man....Women can't discipline them in a constructive way, so when they hit their teens, they lash out like some females or do feminine things....

So many young boys could have been saved if they saw how real men operate....not see their Dads once a year or a month....

nikka you ain't even got a job, you definitely need a father

Black people are not a monolith. All of those people are widely considered heroes in the black community though.

Cant have strong fathers without recognizing the heavenly one

women play a part in what they want to pass on too

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

We need fathers raising our children, in-person EVERDAY, to adulthood.

When we began looking for "father figures" instead of supporting Black biological, residential fatherhood
and husbandry, the internal culture began its internal decline.

Notice that we never say we're looking for "mother figures."

 

[Black Panther]

Why is it that we accept fatherlessness as an explanation for Black criminality, but don't do the same to explain white criminality?

Despite the amount of Black children born out of wedlock, Black fathers outperform their white and Hispanic counterparts in being involved in their children's lives.

Fatherlessness is an American problem. Not a Black problem specifically.

Yup.

Imagine trying to build a coherent nation with the following mindset: "Well, the most important attributes I'm seeking in the woman that will raise and nurture my children, is that she must have a 23-inch waist and a 45-inch booty."

Birds talk about how “problematic” dudes like NBA Youngboy or 50 cent are but let’s be real here

as you said, cycle will continue. If we receive a reparations package, free/mandatory mental health support is needed for all black youth to balance the abundance of trash parenting
