That is some sad stuff right there.
I helped my wife raise her girls from 3 years old and 7 years old. Their father never once got in touch with them. My wife and I found him…mugshots on the internet.
I never once told anyone they weren’t my girls. I was proud to have them as my own. I could never imagine leaving them. Even in the worst of times with my wife, and we all have them with our spouses, what kept me from seriously considering leaving were The Girls. I would have NEVER left them.
Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast
Much respect, sir. I could have gone on to my reward many years ago for screwing around but the good Lord had other plans for me. My step kids are mine and my step daughter’s son is my darling grandson.
This is why I say family is off limits here, you never know the price a man has paid to get them where they are.
My mamacita would not tolerate any criticism of my jefito. If it wasn’t for him, you wouldn’t be here, she said.
God bless you!
Keep in mind that 3 of every 4 black children are born to single moms.
Tin Pat, I made a joke along the line of Bush’s entrepreneur quote: the reason blacks don’t celebrate Father’s Day is they don’t have a word for ‘father’.
I always heard it was the most confusing day of the year in he black community.
Hey, I know….let’s set up a program that actually encourages fathers to abandon their children by rewarding single mothers better financially than if dad stuck around. Then let’s kick the war on drugs into high gear and mostly focus on sellers of color versus the much more prevalent white users. Then lets allow harpy shrews to control the classroom curricula in a way that boys are treated unfairly and even treated like garbage so girls won’t want to really be around them (except for sex), and they won’t feel good about themselves so they don’t feet worthy as fathers. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Let’s say its part of a bigger “social safety net” and for the “good of the country.” That will surely sucker them in.
Yikes! Well said, but yikes! And now the boys are quarantined and not out throwing baseballs to one another. Someday, one of them will open the baseball season by stuffing a couple of balls in his pants and saying, “I wuv you.”
Maybe offer $1M or something like that to every man that fathered a child.
It was a Lowal Democrat who warned us what welfare would do to blacks way way back. Senator Patrick Moynihan.
Sounds like a worthy program. I wonder what the boys will look/act like after 55 years of such a program?
This rings true, generally, but why anyone would believe stats these days is beyond me. Nothing you believed is true. See Covid.
Helluva way to close out an otherwise nice day knowing those very sad/sobering stats. The Communist Manifesto writ large! The REPUBLIC was long ago lost to corruption/greed and decadence – another “world plunderer” headed for antiquity’s empire [tr]ash-heap? “Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.” And there’s now way too many of the latter in the United SNAKES CORP, D[e]C[eit]. Today’s “adversity” has gone way past redemption w/o a very serious “rendering”. This VFW “dirty ‘ol Iowa farm-boy” whose “white privilege” and a deaf ear didn’t exempt him from the draft in ’67, hoping to “get [some final] kicks [watching] the whole [schiff]house go[es] up in flames” – Jim Morrison. Bring it!
Psst, remaining productive, sane, INFORMED, REPENTing/REDEEMed “close-quartered/herded citYzens/urbies” – ain’t “red county rural” yet? Tick-tock.
Yo, fellow productive “country-Folk” – GROUPed/GUNned/GARDENed and . . . System-D SIMPLIFIED on a portion of arable, UN-addressed/UN-encumbered inland, rural “allodial” GROUND . . . “carry on”! “Thrive-in-place”! Lock[ed] and load[ed]. NO Fear/Hate when . . . “JC always before me”! Hoo-rah
I wonder what the stats are for White kids?
As a white kid who grew up in a home that dad was thrown out of when I was 10, I can tell you that the situation also was not great. But at least I had 6 or so years without the constant yelling and screaming and some foundation of normalcy. But I also had parents that gave a damn about my future, my education, my behavior, etc. I wasn’t looked upon as a means to a paycheck from Uncle Sam, nor was mom out trolling for the next sperm donor while pretending to raise me.
And notice that 37% of teen suicides still come from intact homes….so the presence of dad is clearly not a totally “stabilizing” factor.
White families TODAY have a higher % of single parent homes than BLACK families in the 1950’s
Also blame the “Great Society,” the “feminist movement,” and no-fault divorce (and the turkey baster).
But it does show what a bunch of meddling white liberals can do to a group of folks who took far more responsibility for themselves back when there was widespread racism and discrimination.
1) almost all black children are fatherless
2) blacks commit half the violent crime
3) so these stats simply say blacks are violent as a demographic, and no other society wide conclusion can be drawn
And 6% (black males) of population commit 50% of the murders and violent crime. Almost all with no Dad. Duh.
Black Thugs Matter.
Narrow it down to around 1% of the population (black men 15 – 30) and it becomes much more identifiable.
Good stuff Admin, thank you. To put it in perspective:
“The number of children under age 18 in the United States increased from 47.3 million in 1950 to 74.1 million in 2010, before declining slightly to 73.7 million in 2012. Since 2012, the number of children has remained between 73.6 and 73.7 million, and is projected to increase to 74.1 million by 2020. @13 Sep 2019”
So fatherless ones are 32% of the total number of children.
Here are the Stats:
https://datacenter.kidscount.org/data/tables/107-children-in-single-parent-families-by-race#detailed/1/any/false/37,871,870,573,869,36,868,867,133,38/10,11,9,12,1,185,13/432,431
To compare, in UK:
“In the UK: There are around 1.8 million single parents – they make up nearly a quarter of families with dependent children ” AND:
“8.9% of Black households were made up of a single parent with dependent children, the highest percentage out of all ethnic groups for this type of household; the lowest percentage was found among Asian households, at 5.7% “
And then ended slavery without a single shot being fired, or 750,000 dead.
Libby, you perpetuate the myth that the civil war was fought to end slavery. If you ever read Lincoln’s ‘house divided’ speech, it was to preserve the Union.
Thanks, my first thought was that they are meaningless statistics without the overall % of children who are fatherless.
Black females are not as particular about the quality of men they screw and they produce about double the babies of Whites and Asians; Black bums probably have far more children than responsible Black males. With a problem like this and no solution, our country is doomed to become just another Darkest Africa shit hole on another land mass.
Stop paying them to breed and the problem will solve itself.
Being a dad is the single most important job I have. My daughter depends on my relationship with my wife to see what a healthy relationship should look like among other things. I raised my stepson from 1 year old until he moved out for college and graduated. He still calls me once a week just to talk about life and ask me opinion.
When I coach youth sportball, mostly girls, it is sad to see the overwhelming amount of kids with no father in their lives. I do what I can to be a strong male figure for them. I am still respected by kids I haven’t coached in 12+ years and we talk when we see each other out and about.
