					<description><![CDATA[Thanks Florence for sharing your opinion.  However, the above article exposes problems without giving concrete solutions.  We won&#039;t go anywhere if we don&#039;t expose role models in the fatherhood department or if we don&#039;t provide solutions.  It perpetuates the situation negatively.  In addition, there are too many factors that Black men have no power to control:   unemployment, etc.  So, it is hard to be a father if you cannot provide for your family.  As long as nobody proposes concrete solutions to shatter glass ceilings, systemic discrimination and institutional racism honestly I don&#039;t see how things will change!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I understand John&#039;s response,nevertheless I have seen so many in my life time (63 Years old), do, what Ms Muhammed has pointed out in her article. It is so sad how the innocent ones, get caught up in the dysfunctional relationships of those who sired them.

I apologize for saying it this way but what I am tired of is seeing a continuation of folk having these children and don&#039;t have a clue as to what it takes to parent them, their just having them just to be having them I suppose, and John if this sounds like a downer, it is what it is.

To be a parent is a life time commitment. It takes constant and consistant, prayer, training, teaching, encouraging, protecting, providing, and this takes, wisdom that comes only with maturity, and a desire to want to parent, the operative word here is &quot;parent&quot;, that thing you do with a child. I have never in all my life seen such a selfish generation of &quot;folk who have sired, children.&quot; Not one decision they make is the child brought into the equation. It&#039;s about how I feel, what I want, how angry I am, never thinking when you got with him or her, what wouild this person bring into the life of a child, it&#039;s always me, me, me, me, me, and in the moment lust and eventually the offspring from these off relationships end up with the messed up end of the stick, as these sires of these children argue, fight, and create an atmosphere of bitterness and hatred that will effect most of these children for the rest of their lives.

Yes there are good men out there, doing what they need to do to father their children and some women too. Nevertheless there is that element that sister Muhammed spoke of and it falls into the majority, its sad to say. 

Nevertheless hope springs eternal, each one of us who do have the knowledge must make every effort to pass it on, to those who will listen. Mother&#039;s stop using your children as ponds in your selfish anger of revenge, you should have thought about what you were doing in the first place, allow your children if possible to have a relationship with their fathers. You all need to visit and you men to, Black and Married With Children web site, gain some knowledge and information, and lets heal and rebuild the black family, and create a more stronger generation to come.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This article brings important new information about how some Black fathers feel.  However, on Father&#039;s Day I would have preferred to read an uplifting article about Black fathers who are married and take care of their children.  All year long we hear about Black absent fathers and we are sick of it!  There is a hidden agenda about this, I am talking about propaganda.  I am going to give a concrete example.  A while ago, I read an article about LL Cool J in a mainstream magazine (I forgot which one).  There was a nice picture of him with his wife and children.  On the cover of the magazine, this picture was not there and there was no mention of the rapper.  So, it is by pure coincidence that I discover there was an article on him.  Believe me that was not innocent!  Historically, the mainstream has been against Black families so they won&#039;t be eager to put on the cover of their magazine a united family from our community except if it is the Obamas.]]></description>
