Hello World. Thank you to Senator Barack Obama for addressing the absolute crisis of the lack of fathers in black families of America. With the speech being given on Fathers Day in Chicago at Apostolic Church of God . . . the most important words . . . were even more significant.
The epidemic situation can no longer be blamed on historic injustices. Although historic injustices are very real . . . this can absolutely no longer be used or accepted as an excuse. As a matter of fact . . . no excuse can be accepted any longer. Parental obligations trump all excuses.
Many black men need to accept with full knowledge . . . their responsibility to family, community, and nation. You are either part of the solution . . . or part of the problem. No excuses. Period.
Black women, must raise the standards of their man choosing. Begin to say NO sexually, to unworthy men. Period. Pick better. If you see the person who is trying to bed you has bedded others . . . as sport . . . guess what . . . you will be used as sport too.
We women need to begin to say NO sexually . . . and mean it!!! I have said many times, and will continue to say . . . the easy and irresponsible access to sex has not done women well.
There needs to be real dialog in the black community. Our issues are real. The ease of turning heads, sweeping under the rug, burying heads in the sand, putting blinders over eyes, not giving a hoot, and not wanting to talk about these and other very difficult family issues, is no longer acceptable.
The problems are too great that stem from no father in the home. Crime, teen pregnancy, youth violence, academic instability, and on and on . . . No government, or government official can fix this epidemic, nor should they be required to fix it. This is about personal responsibility. Our nation's children are worth every effort. Too many fathers have walked away from their highest obligation, their children.
Thank you Senator Barack Obama . . . for once again speaking of this tragic reality . . . and placing the responsibility in the hands of the people themselves.
Bottom line . . . close those legs, zip those ridiculous baggy pants, and open your minds . . . to the brutal reality of the fatherless children of America.
Fatherhood is serious business, motherhood is serious business. Serious loving, devoted, committed, nurturing, business. No government policy can do that. No politician can legislate that. Parenthood is the business of the parents. No excuses. Period.
Be Heard. Be Inspiration.
