[QUOTE="Ceddlove134, post: 1691677, member: 42056"] As a black male from a 2 parent house hold, with a strong dad that kept me in line and told me no you cant go over there or here, I can relate to the statements above. My dad died of cancer 5 years ago, and before he died we had a long talk. I told him how i when i looked back, i appreciate him being the dad he was. the dad that would say no you cant go here, the dad that said if you want that expensive jacket and shoes, you have to haul wood this summer with your uncle and pay for it yourself. I was 36 at the time and could go anywhere and apply for a job. Meaning I dont have a record, I have a great high paying job and I attribute that to my dad. He was hard, sometimes very hard, but he was fair. He didnt have a dad growing up so he didnt have a blueprint. His older brother pretty much helped raise him and his younger brothers as well as me. When you become an adult and have your own kids and family you look back and say, you know they were right. The system is broken, and has been broken for some time now. People see it as beneficial to be a single mother without a husband. Some of you may not agree. But I see this first hand. I have family in the projects, I can go across the tracks to the rough part of town and show you first hand generational poverty that I believe was started and initiated by the government.
