How can you be a black man fully cognizant of the fact that our community suffers TREMENDOUSLY from this problem and think it's something to make light of?
No, our community doesn't. This is a lie, created by White Supremacists. More Afrikan (aka "black") fathers live with their kids (2.5 million) than live apart from their kids (1.7 million). Of the fathers who live away from their children, Afrikan fathers outperformed European (aka "white") fathers and all other groups on nearly all measures surveyed, including reading to their children daily, helping them with homework, and changing their diapers:

67% of Afrikan dads who don’t live with their kids, see them at least once a month, compared to 59% of European dads:

Afrikan dads think it’s important to financially provide for their children more than European dads and all others:

Single-parent homes isn't the same thing as fatherlessness, and even if it was, Europeans would be the ringleader, not Afrikans. In fact, the U.S. has over 5 million more European kids in single-parent homes than Afrikan kids. If Europeans didn't have kids out of wedlock, divorce, or abandon their kids, the total population of kids in single-parent and no-parent homes would drop by nearly 40%. By comparison, Afrikan kids account for 25% of those in single-parent homes. If single-parent homes are a burden to the U.S., Europeans are the drag of all groups:
