[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recall President Obama, early in his first term, criticizing absentee fathers in the Black community. I also recall the massive wave of criticism he received, such that he rarely repeated his earlier criticism. Are President Obama and Chief Conte wrong? [/quote] As I understand it, the majority of families in DC are two parent households. Not married but the children have a father in their lives. They need better fathers though, good role models instead of bad ones.[/quote] https://www.dchealthmatters.org/indicators/index/view?indicatorId=411&localeTypeId=3&periodId=6955 Depends on zip code. But “the majority” means over half, and even 40 percent of homes having only one parent is still pretty bad. In some places it is 70 percent with a single parent. [/quote]
