Why do Black Men ignore their responsibility to their children?

Dear Friends,

I have lived with the pain all my life of having to reason with myself - why did my father totally ignored by existence?

When we hear the term "single parent" most cases, we can readily assume it is the mother because women stand up to their responsibility. I will love to find a away to get men to recognise their failing in respect of taking care of their children. In my case, it has been 65 years of asking WHY? Today it is even worse as young men are caught wit maintaining the life style of the rich and famous. Everything the wear and use must be DESIGNER TYPE.

At the same time teenage pregnancy cases are soaring. It is a mad world. Survival is the name of the game. Survive they will but it is even worse when those who suffer the pain of being ignored by fathers, return the favour. What is responsible for this behaviour, can this type of behaviour be minimised rather than expand?

Let us develop this dialogue. Something needs to be done to arrest this situation as our children are hurting.

Think on this troubling situation whichj is deteriorating as more people enter the category of the poor and vulnerable. Are you concerned?

Concerned citizen,

Ed Harris

Stop putting it on the Men it's Both!

Have you seen the way "Black Women" act these days! Since we've been in this country the Black Man has never had anyone standing in his corner....nope not even the black women!

So if you have single black women raising black boys what do you get.... A Black Man who don't know how to be a Father!

Hmmm....I have to give this some thought because I have been in the "trenches" for the last 17-years training the at-risk population and it has gotten worse.

Give me few days to ponder this and what I believe to be possible solutions.

I will only respond to one line for now....

"When we hear the term "single parent" most cases, we can readily assume it is the mother because women stand up to their responsibility."



I'm sure you know how society works.

Men PERIOD ( but more commonly BLACK men) are "potrayed" as the one not doing his part when in fact..MANY of us do. Realize that there are SOME mothers that will do all they can to tear that down out of spite.

Realize that as a BLACK MAN...nothing is ever easy.....but we DO stand up to responsibility...not just women.

I'm guessing you took this general rationalization based on your local news station but don't be fooled by what they WANT you to hear.

Congrats, you've fallen for the trap and spreading it just as they want you to.

One can't stop a cause by adding to it in the same tone.
And at 65......this shouldn't be a hard equation.
Before trying to conquer the "Worlds" issues...start building "Within"
Don't let YOUR grief speak the volume of US......The strong MEN that are handling responsibility!


The question is...what are YOU doing.....................brotha'!

PROUD & ACTIVE FATHER!!!
Out!

Women develop a bond with their children during pregnancy, something men will never experience. I have found Most (not all) men to be much weaker than we think. When times get hard, that's usually when they run. If things aren't going as they think they should, they bail. They don't know what else to do, since that's what their father did to them.

As Jimmy stated "So if you have single black women raising black boys what do you get.... A Black Man who don't know how to be a Father!" That is so true. Or you get an angry black man that is mad at the world, which we all know will prevent progression.

So in their defense, they would be better fathers if they had fathers.

I know one thing......

If we "Blacks" don't get our shit together and stop all the stupid ass nonsense won't none of us be around!

This is what were up against T

Talking is not getting us nowhere but fewer and fewer in number! Betta Wake Up and realize who (Satan) our oppressors are and what they have planned for us!

Wanna do something to stop it....Learn who you really are, and not who you're told you are!

Then we might have a chance!

Aug 15 in Atlanta Ga, AndyClyde's is having a free fishing trip for the kids.
If you would like to attend or be a volunteer please contact me at clydeanderson@andyclydes.net put Fishing Trip in the subject. Call me at 904 312 3265.
The kids will get free hotdogs and junk food.


I know so few men that do this anymore I don't pay it any attention. I have come to find that men that ignore their children are on some type of addictive trip. Then there are women that like going out with those nut cases and don't do anything to protect themselves. So who is really at fault here. I would give my car to someone that can't drive. Why would you give a child to someone that can't father?

I feel it's not the men, it's these fast hot ass lazy women that need to be talk about.
