No it's not necessary if you have a real man as a father.
We need more black male mentors

If you're a successful brother or have good experience or knowledge somewhere go do it.
Just start with 1 young breh that you can see the potential in, and when his path is clear and strong you can take a step back and find the next. I've got two young brehs from Philly to Harvard rn and I couldn't be more proud of them
their lives are set.
If everyone helped elevate just one kid you'd be amazed by how fast our people would move on up

How about actual families so children actually have fathers in the home vs the idiotic band aids yall want to use on a probably nobody wants to honestly discuss.
exactly the thing is the single moms get off scotch free while the men who did what they had to do have to deal with the products of the single mothers. Why is the burden on us, and we end up taking time away from our own kids.
completely inaccurate and you don't know what you're talking about. Mentors are incredibly valuable in academia, the job market, etc. they're unbelievably powerful resources to just say "you have a good dad, you don't need one." Thinking like that will keep us behind. Take every advantage you can get. White people and asians go hard on the mentor route even though they have fathers in their lives, and it pays off.

Mentor children in your immediate circle, donate money to existing organizations that serve to help develop boys through academics, the arts, social skills, etc.
My little cousins went through a Rites of Passage program, and we supported them the entire way....and I was doing the most cheering them, and the other young men, at the ceremony.
All we got is us. That's why I put the clowns here on ignore. They are dead weight.
You need one in your work field sure. Anything else is dumb. What would you need a mentor for besides to put you on to further your career?

The 'Absent Black Fathers' Myth is Peddled Again. Can We Give it a Rest?
All sorts of oft-cited statistics about fatherhood in America are false—and anyway broken families are the consequence, not the cause, of the exact kinds of problems protesters are currently standing up against.

Op was talking about racism and mental health. Calm down sisI also said they can be incredibly valuable in academia, and you yourself just acknowledged you need to have one so that's that lol
Imagine actively turning down a resource and asset

I grew up with Pops and was mentored by deacons, teachers, coaches, and the old timers in the neighborhood.

The article is misleading. Especially when you're out here seeing something totally different in the streets.
Mentoring isn't that effective without someone at home reinforcing what the mentor is trying to impart in that child. You pour into that child and send them home to a bullshyt environment isn't working to well.
