You pretend to speak for all american black when you only speak for a few.
while negating and vilifying the most successful – who are succeeding!, the black women who are always working, improving, seeking to learn more and do better – steadfastly doing the hard yards for family, If you want change they are for sure the best role models.

You’re exactly right, Celeste. EVERY child needs an adult role model to see and emulate, someone to show them how responsible, honorable adults act. I think Patricia missed the point. Black women are strong precisely because young black girls have the adult role models they need, where the lack of such role models makes it much more difficult for young black boys to grow into mature adult men. All upstanding black men need to become role models for some boys, whether their own children or others from the community. Only by starting to raise mature men will the problem be turned around.

If the issue with black men not being real models anymore and leaders has something to do with single women households, then why are so many black women leaders? Why are so many black women starting businesses? Why are black women more educated? Why are 45% of the new entrepreneurs black women over the last 10 years? Who are doing all of the killing of blacks? Is it the black woman or we blame that on the single woman household too, lmfao. How does the black women end up changing roles with the black man who will not go to school, start a legitimate business, will not learn tech skills to take their culture further, cringe at the thought of math and science, (I was a teacher for 11 years and the black boys always asked the girls to do their math work) will not create a product, will not use his brain and creativity to invent something…How is it that these so-called single moms doing it? No one puts a gun to a black woman’s head and say go to school, start this business. No one gives a black woman any money to start a business, BUT it’s the single moms fault that the black men are too lazy to get off their butts and do something outside of trying to be a rapper, a real nig**, ballplayer, and it’s the black woman’s fault, hhahahahhahahhaha…. I WILL DRINK TO THAT..
