The Myth of the Fatherless Black Child

When the police deal with armed psychotics then need to shoot first.

 

There aren't a lot of white adults who can tell you who those two are but can tell you who Eric Clapton is.

 

I don't have to use skin color for anything. The facts of history tell you that these are not excuses.

 

I think she focused on race because white conservatives make the record of fatherhood in America about race. Unlike what you appear to be saying, they have an unbalanced racially biased view

 

No, you are a racist.

 

A Darwin Award is for stupidity.
Is deafness stupidity?

 

Agreed. Now what have I posted that is not true?

 

Let me think about it.

 

So you turn it all around and blame "white conservatives". Leo Terrell is a black conservative, one of many along with Dr. Ben Carson and Candice Owens. In order to play the "race game" do you have to say to them "you ain't black"? Well I agree with and respect them. They have the same idea as I about fatherhood regardless of race.

Why do you and Edna keep poking the lion? Do you want a race war? It sure seems like it. Race is the focus of everything it seems. Do you ever realize this in itself is racist?

 

You do realize this is "Race Relations" part of the forum. I comment on science in the "Science" forum. You commenting on "Race Relations", is it racist? Or do you need to rework your definition.

Do you agree with all whites on race and if you don't do you have to say to them "you ain't white"? Or are they just wrong?

 

Why have whites like you continued poking us? Do you think that you can do what you want to people? Leo Terrell, Candace Owens and Ben Carson? Are those the only blacks you know? You agree with them because they tell you what you already believe. Have you ignored how whites made it all about race from the start? Do YOU want a race war? I don't know if you have noticed, but whites are the minority on this planet, and blacks are not the only people of color whites have abused in America. All kinds of evidence debunks what you, Carson, Owens, Terrell and any other black person with their mindset tells you. Race being the focus of everything is not racist. Believing that you are superior because of your race is. And the belief in superiority has you only listening to people like those you mention because they allow you to ignore the impact of white racism on the black community, thereby you don't have to take respnsibility to change.

I'm black. I have been a father. I had a father in my life until I was 37 and the only reason he's not here now is because he died at age 75. So don't come here arguing with me about some garbage that was debunked almost from the first time that theory was proposed by Moynihan.

 

All of it.

 

Then it should be easy for you to find one assertion I made that is not true, post it, and explain why it is not true.

 

I now plenty of blacks, Indians and Orientals. The difference with me is....I just think of them as people.

Oh, were you or your parents slaves? If not, I think it's time to grow up. I think in addition to you playing the "race card", you pay the "victim card". A lot of people play that card because anyone can do it.

Maybe you believe your race is superior, but I don't. Dr. Ben Carson doesn't feel sorry for himself. He is a brain surgeon and his brother, believe it or not, is a rocket scientist. Lot of smarts coming from one family. One thing Dr. Carson has said quite often, when he does surgery it doesn't matter the race, the brain is ALWAYS grey! I am a Christian. Maybe you despise that too. I honestly can't tell you the skin color of Jesus, and if you want to say He was black, I'm fine with that. His lov does not depend on your race and that is all that matters.

 

White's are often wrong. It's part of the plague of humanity. Edna, you tickle me. I like that. I'm gonna pull that off sometime. "You ain't white" will be my retort next time I get in an argument with my family!
If I do that, do you think Joe Biden will sue for plagiarism? I know he is an expert in that field, but he got the ball rolling with "you ain't black"!

 

Sometimes I wish we just had a " laugh " reaction button .

Any particular reason you are against using actual mathematics to gain an accurate understanding of the world you live in?

 

Another "I don't see color" right-winger who likes to comment on what's wrong with the "coloreds", while he ignores over 400 years of US history. There is a long tradition of whites claiming superiority over Blacks and they have and had the power to enforce it. The right blaming the victim ensues.

Claiming respect for Black nut jobs like Carson (Joseph built the pyramids to store grain?) is playing your race card while also attempting to play the Christian card doesn't fly. It is more like rationalizations.

BTW Biden was being facetious when he said that, but it does give the right a context free sound bite.

 

You are calling Carson, who has a reputable reputation a "nut job", only because he has jumped the "government plantation". You play the same race card as Joe Biden. Like him, why don't you just say "he ain't black"?

It's o.k. for Biden to make racist comments because he is only being "facetious"? Wow! Guess that got him off the hook!

 

Carson jumped the Republican "government plantation" because he was a conservative black face not because he was competent and knew anything about Housing and Urban Development. His tenure was called directionless and his leadership inconspicuous.
This "man of science" calls the Big Bang theory a ridiculous idea and supports creationist theories, calls Darwin's theory of evolution is of the devil, we are approaching the "end of days" and being gay is a choice. More fringe thinking: Hitler came to power in part by removing guns, Obamacare is worse than slavery. Yes, nut job and "legend".

 

I will dismiss your comments as racist.....calling a fellow human being a "conservative blackface" on the pretence if your skin pigmentation is black, you aren't allowed to be "conservative". Edna, you just proved my point!

 

You are the one who brought race into it by saying he jumped the "government plantation" and I noted Republicans where happy to greet a black face no matter if he is a nut job and inexperienced at running an agency with a 50 billion dollar budget, because he was a rarity among Blacks.

Not so in the Democratic party. There 58 Black members of Congress, 2 are Republican.

 

There are people of all colors on the government plantation. You must hate Tim Scott also. I'm sure you hate the two who are Republican. Are you saying "they ain't black?"

 

Fatherlessness is heavily correlated with juvenile delinquency.

The idea of systemic racism is an excuse not to roast a particular sacred cow.

 

I think we've been over this.....correlation does not imply causation.
69% of births in Iceland are to single mothers and there has been no explosion in crime. It seems you are the one with the sacred cow.

 

variables not being directly dependent on one another doesn't nullify variables.

Only if I was talking about Icelandic culture. I wasn't.
