I’m not even talking about that. I’m talking about the type that goes to Greater Warner Tabernacle but lives in Oak Ridge or Straw Plains and couldn’t even name one inner city ministry or group. They ought to be the ones grabbing dead beat dads by the ear and kicking them in the ass. You know what the number stat for poverty is in this country? It ain’t being black. It’s not having a two parent household. Fix the home you fix the majority of the problems. I know successful black people. Insurance agents, attourneys, mayors, you name it. They don’t lament or suffer crackers. They just shake their head and move on. They buy nice houses and nice cars and smile all the while. They are the ones making this country better. The ones like k-town are holding us back. He won’t do squat. He won’t lose a minutes sleep about the kids I’ve worked with. Kids who’ve walked the stage at graduation while both parents are in jail. Kids who’ve cried leaving camp because they don’t want to go back to their home environment. He knows NOTHING but hate and blame.

Let me add that this in no way excuses what happened to George Floyd. I don’t give a rip if he was crack dealer or saint. What happened to him was an atrocious abuse of authority. I’m on record on this forum of advocating police and jail reform. Abolish three strikes. Abolish the private prison system. Legalize pot and get rid of ridiculous penalties for drugs. These are things that have to happen.

Since this has been addressed back in 2011-12 whenever when occupy Nashville was going on a misdemeanor to do so I'm interested to see if they do make it a felony how many will do that then. There is talk about doing that very thing.

I thought Silver Spoons was also a spin off... maybe even of Facts of Life or Different Strokes. But you are right, I can't seem to find that info online just yet.

People talk so much about good fathers, but you get that father to be a husband and you will see black poverty decline in no time. Fathers is just a part, be a husband.

In order for a man to be a husband, there HAS to be a willing WIFE.

Too much of this sheit gets blamed on men, black , white, it doesnt matter the color. For many guys, being a husband was never an OPTION. Neither was keeping the child (no murder) or child support.

Is there a problem with young men not raising their kids? Absolutely.

When have you EVER heard mention of moms role in all of that? Ever???

Womens lib has consequences. I have a mom. Wife, and daughter. I know for a 100% fact that other than certain physical things, a woman CAN DO about anything a man CAN DO. That doesnt mean she SHOULD DO all or even most of them.

I told my son good luck. Good luck finding a good woman like your mom that can cook, keep a home, be a great mom, and TAKE PRIDE in that role. They were nearly extinct 20 years ago when I was his age. Most girls today cannot cook or manage a household...and have absolutely no intentions of doing either anyway. They have abandoned the traditional role of mom and wife, caregiver and home maker. The glue that holds families together. They want an office job with a cushy desk making at least 100k a year ...and like boys generally have absolutely NO IDEA doing what, or why anyone would ever pay them a fortune to do so. All they know is that they HAVE to attend a 4 year college and forget about ever learning a trade, making a family, being a stay at home mom etc. ...

But let's ALWAYS BLAME DAD. In many, many cases Dad had exactly 0% input on what was going to happen after she got pregnant....whether in a relationship or from a hookup at a bar , party, etc. ZERO INPUT. Zero rights. Dad has a right to pay child support, and in the VAST majority of cases will get to see his kids every other weekend etc according to standard state visitation by a non custodial parent. That's it. Period.

I invite you all to have conversations with the ladies and especially young ladies that are around you. Ask them what their plans are. Ask them if they plan to stay home and raise kids. Ask them if they are good cooks, or have kids already and their marital status. This isnt a black thing. It's an American thing. How can Dads "stay home" and "do the right thing" when in many cases that was never an option in the 1st place? They have next to ZERO power in these situations. The legal system and courts are geared 100% for the female to have whatever she wants. Dad is an afterthought, generally seen as either a source of child support or a "deadbeat ".

Talk to young ladies. I bet you guys will be surprised. This is down in the Bible Belt...which I would wager has twice the chance of a traditional family role based on religious beliefs as a Liberal city up north. I remember reading about 20 years ago when we were starting our family that in 1950, almost 80% of families had a stay at home mom. By year 2000, it was 8%. EIGHT %....my wife and I discussed that. I told her that it was probably mostly due to economics...that only doctors and lawyers mostly could afford to make it on 1 income. We decided that we were gonna be part of that 8%....and still put my kids in Christian School . With no college degrees. We would do without as needed, and trusted that of we did our part that God would do the rest.

Many weeks when my kids were young, I didnt see them awake except for saturday nights and Sundays. I worked a full time job in construction during the day, and kept a sidejob at night doing kitchen and bath remodels to make ends meet. Left home at 6am and got back at 10 or 11pm. I missed many, many "firsts"...but my wife was always there. Both of my kids could read and write at probably a 2nd or 3rd grade level when they started kindergarten. My son just graduated as valedictorian, and is starting college as a sophomore with 32hours credit on day 1 . His little sister is on a similar path, but will likely not be quite as decorated as him academically. She plays basketball and soccer, and has her Daddy wrapped around her little finger since day 1. Once my kids were both in school, my wife went back to work part time. She became a Realtor and after a few years of struggling to earn, she is now doing well. I dont have to keep a sidejob going anymore. We are very thankful and blessed....but we are part of 8% or less of society.

I got distracted and rambled a bit. Sorry for that, I get fired up about this crap. The most important thing I wanted to say is this:

Careful pointing all those fingers at DAD. Regardless of skin tone, which shouldnt matter anyway. In MANY MANY cases, marrying Mom and having a normal 2 parent family was never an option from the beginning. Kids and families are seen as a burden these days to many girls. Something to hold them back, not accomplish. Society is VERY quick to roll out the 50 to 70% of kids that are raised In single parent households...and always blame Dad for not being there. Many times that was never, ever an option to begin with. Especially when these Dem handouts pay moms to stay single rather than get married.

Quite true, every sitcom mocks husbands. A good wife is as important. You must have a traditional family, especially nowadays. I know there are plenty of exceptions but the traditional family is a must tor today.

Those Hollywood producers and directors worked Garland very long hours as a child.

During the filming of the Wizard of Oz, some of the midgets would come onto the set drunk, and pull up 17 year-old Garland's dress so they could take a look.

Lol. The town I grew up in had the Wizard of OZ festival and the museum. The last lollipop kid died somewhere around 2003 i think. It was an interesting parade.

Davidson County mayoral elections are kind of rigged at this point based on the county's makeup. In any given cycle, you're top 3 vote getters are probably going to be the progressive, the conservative (this includes a lot of yellow dog democrats and some republicans), and the black person. it seems like nobody gets a majority in the general election so the top two are in a runoff. One of those two is always going to be the progressive who will use fear of conservatism to get the black vote if facing a conservative and use fear of race politics to get the conservative vote if facing a black.

Somebody throw the Batsignal up for Ras...he has great perspective on this bullcrap. I have railed many times about how the Dad is ALWAYS the bumbling idiot ...on every commercial and TV show...Dad is always blamed for "fatherless" homes...when many times living with and marrying Mom was never an option from day 1.... this current system is geared against Dad from Day 1, yet somehow he is always 1st in line when looking for someone to blame, or if it all goes sideways. This is further complicated for a Christian...as the Bible says that Dad is responsible not just for his own sins, but those of his children until they reach the age of accountability...generally considered early teen years. Often times those kids arent even in his home or under his control 90% of the time. Meanwhile , all the negative stats compiled for kids raised in fatherless homes continue to get worse across all races and ranges of income...
