Obama’s Father’s Day Remarks [“children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison.”]

New York Times ^ | June 15, 2008 | Barack Obama

We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled – doubled – since we were children. We know the statistics – that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home, or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it.

So, based on his family history, when is Soetoro going to prison?

[Olog-hai]

Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the communists.

On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital; on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution.

The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.

— Communist Manfesto, chapter 2

So, knowing what abolition of the family does to “black folk”, Obama pushes more abolition of the family.

Then again, during the same year he wrote the Slimes editorial, he also claimed to have believed marriage to be between one man and one woman. (Suddenly. After pushing homosexual marriage before that.)

Don’t you love farce, BO?...Lyndon Johnson and his accomplices in your party are responsible for the mess created by children growing up in fatherless homes.

What policies did Obama institute to try to help?

His economic policies resulted in the slowest recovery from a recession. And Bidens appear to be worse.

Trump at least drove unemployment down.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Didn’t Obama talk to his father during his life?

[Varda]

This is about stats. Individuals are data points so he doesn't go to prison since he's an outlier according to this data ( which has been consistent for 100 yrs).

What I don't understand is why he said it.

[robowombat]

Truth should be told. All BHO got for his remarks was a massive blast of rage from the Official Professional Negro Establishment. What did the Gopers do, they hid. (surprise).

[high info voter]

...and Democrats....” we’ll give all you moms freebies that you need - but you can’t have the fathers living with you!” ... /sarc

[Pontiac]

I don’t think he did.

[antidemoncrat]

Hey, the good news is that black kids born into single family homes decreased from about 70% 10 years ago to about 55% in 2022. Now if a way can be found to to combat black on black murders every year real progress cane be made.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bingo.

[DeplorablePaul]

The left drummed Bill Cosby out of blackhood for saying the exact same thing.

Thank you Captain Obvious.
