MICHAEL BROWN SR. AND THE AGONY OF THE BLACK FATHER IN AMERICA
Thanksgiving at the Brown house, with family, friends, ham hocks, a little football, and an empty chair.
(Excerpt) Read more at esquire.com ...
“KosmicKitty:” How many Thanksgivings was little Mikey actually seated at dad’s table?”
That is EXACTLY the question !
The greatest loss in black families is the missing parent
who never took the time to teach responsibility .”
but not just the missing parent who chooses not to be there, but mostly because they are either locked up or dead.
I was in walmart the other day and one of the cashiers was an old, gray black man. I did a triple take because it occurred to me that I couldn’t remember the last time I saw a black man with gray hair.
LOL @ that title!
Not even going to bother to read what comes after it though.
its the drama you suspected it to be...

THE AGONY OF THE BLACK (Absent) FATHER IN AMERICA
Boo effing hoo.
Once a racist “victim” - always a racist “victim”.
The first agony of many black ‘fathers’ is being identified through the blood test for pregnancy.
I think that image is wrong.
that could be almost any chunky street thug..
Police evidence.
Correct. But it’s Mike, and the other guy is Dorian.
The Crips and the Bloods have killed tens of thousands of black children through the years, and not even a word, they don’t even bat an eye. It’s tough to take this nonsense seriously. Completely contrived.
The Crips & Bloods are doing the work most Americans won’t do!
Maybe this black father should have spent a little more time being a real father. If so, his son might not a dead dope-smoking, thieving, violent, foul-mouthed thug criminal.
...actually, it appears he did, as the whole family and the uncle are known Crips (or Bloods, one side or the other) and they aren’t known for choir practice.... jus’ sayin’
ymmv
As the saying goes, “Any sperm donor can be a Father; it takes a special sort of Man to be a Dad”...
Actually, I think it was the stepfather who yelled that.
Maybe if they’d raised little Mikey to not be a hooligan he’d still be alive.
