"How can one be a provider for his partner and family when he is suddenly placed in a position where it has become difficult to even protect himself?"
Protect from whom? Mostly other black men.
To: dsrtsage
that has got to be one of the most ridiculous condescending articles ever written....
many of their men are just plain lazy....oh, they got enough energy to go impregnate several women and enough energy to shoot baskets and enough energy to stand around bitchin and complaining and protesting whatever is the soup of the day...but work?...not a chance...
and between the lines, its the old "poor men are beaten down by the vimen" again....and now its the black vimen who need to step down, and step back because their success is too much for their black men to put up with...

Ironically ugly white women seem to gravitate toward black guys.

its the absolutely LAST thing that black men are taught is that they have to be providers...which means responsibility....there is no responsibility...

They gravitate in that direction because they know their value in the marriage market. Cruel, but true.

Black men are typically given a traditional set of roles they are expected to take on in a relationship. Perhaps two of the most emphasized of these roles are the protector and the provider. Is this from National Lampoon or Mad Magazine?

It is English.
Lots of usages are uncommon but may have a long and honorable history.

I may have missed a few. But I think that covers most of them.

No, in modern America, the main role is “Baby Daddy”. Hat’s off to the black men I know who DO take fatherhood seriously - and there are a number. But in popular culture? Sorry... I know several black men who are good fathers and providers.
The problem is not with black men. The problem is with black WOMEN who prefer to sleep with an exciting unemployed thug, than to date a man who has no arrest record and is a McDonalds manager.

Older spelling would have been “phantastical”.
Earliest example I can find is in an essay @1552 ? by Thomas Cranmer.

I can't tell you the number of times I've been turned down or dumped by a white woman because she found a drug user/dealer or other kind of sociopath more exciting that I was.

Sadly, far too many American men of every kind have NO aspirations of being a provider for his family. More men might aspire to being a provider, if more women were worth providing for.

My thought, exactly, after reading a few lines....
Blame, blame, point finger, blame, shake finger, blame, point and shake finger! This is all we can expect from those who take no responsibility for their own actions.
DO NOT shake that finger in my face, Mr. p_resident!
Send ‘em back to where they came from may be the solution.

How can he hold onto his aspirations of being a provider for his family when racially biased hiring practices and a corrupt justice system are leaving Black men even further disadvantaged economically? Damn it, he caught a case of jail!

The author forgot to say that these are ideals in most white families. I knew then that the worst was yet to come.
