[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, studies show black and Latino men are more involved fathers than white men.

Those out of wedlock births are just that. The parents aren’t married but they are often living together.

That’s not it.

I don’t know what black men or boys you think are horrible. I worked in Baltimore City jail and will attest anyone can get locked up. Most who are arrested are good guys who have done something bad. They should t be judged on the worst they’ve done without taking into consideration all they have done.

Most people are good, OP. By far. [/quote]
I'm OP.

I agree with you that many Black and Latino men are involved fathers. We love our children as much as any other racial/ethnic group. When a child is old enough to understand, I do believe it makes a difference whether their parents are married, or not. I never set eyes on my father and often wondered (still do at 50 yo) if he even loved my mother. That has impacted me in certain ways.

It was difficult to read your comment that I think our boys horrible. I don't. But there are some, a small number, that seem beyond reach. We likely read the same news (Google: Tony Antoine McClam) - these examples, specifically, are too common in our community and I'm sure you'll agree that they are "horrible". I really do hear you, but this isn't about selling weed on the corner stuff.

I know, firsthand, that most Black men are good and I think most people are good, too. I tried to make that clear in the opening post. But I also know we've got to face it that these heinous killings in our community occur way too frequently. I believe we, as a race, have to get serious about what to do about it. [/quote]
