After all, the CDC also found that black dads made and ate more meals with their kids, took them on more outings and helped them with homework more often than white or Hispanic fathers.


Too bad they won't marry their kid's moms and give them financial support.

I agree, they are not all missing in action. Just the majority of them.

Missed a lot of meals with my kids because I was working. Take no pride in it but at least I was paying for those meals.

Was this the same CDC under obama, and we all know there is a problem with the black community.

ate more meals with their kids

When you aren't working, you have a lot more time to have meals with folks.

> Too bad they won’t marry their kid’s moms

At some point conservatives will take the coherent family unit seriously enough to demand that the laws be changed.

The question is whether there will be at that time enough conservatives left, with so much of the population in broken families and brainwashed by government socialists, to matter.

Prior to LBJ’s “Great Society” programs black fathers were as present as white ones.

Nope,never thought they were *all* missing.In fact there's convincing evidence that as recently as 50 years ago black women demanded marriage and demanded that the husband worked...and the men complied.

Today black men and women have a dramatically different attitude,something that the Rat Party anticipated when they enacted "The War On Poverty","immigration reform" and "welfare reform".

Is it a law to establish paternity at birth in the day of a female being the dad?

Far too many fathers of all skin colors are absent from their childrens’ lives in the US - there are a number of reasons for this but most of them stem from liberalism.

Financial support? Really? A marriage with income would probably screw up Section 8, WIC, Food Stamps, Medicaid, heating assistance, Obamaphones, and God knows what else.

"...Great Society” programs black fathers were as present as white ones..."

Thomas Sowell laid that out very well in his book Black Rednecks and White Liberals.

The destruction liberal policies have wrought on the black community is appalling, and what is just as bad, the vast majority of those victims of those policies have no idea.

Rabid feminism as well. That is a cause that cannot be ignored.

“After all, the CDC also found that black dads made and ate more meals with their kids, took them on more outings and helped them with homework more often than white or Hispanic fathers.”

If it is true, it is likely because the whites and Hispanics are working, but not the blacks.
