Not about "applauding" its about "recognizing" Black men as fathers and that there are Black men that own up to that responsibility and take it seriously as this brother here does, wherever it may be throughout the diaspora......
If this man was to allow this girl to be "free" and easy without punishment and she grows into the ratchet whore she seems she was on the road to, then he and the mother would be hounded for being horrible parents.......

You all have to choose what you want Black men to do, be lazy deadbeats who don't give a damn or responsible stern and strong Black men who not going to let their children run over them, especially girls.
