Denzel Washington says upbringing and a lack of father figures are to blame for many young men ending up in jail.
The Oscar winner, 62, was speaking at the premiere of his latest film, Roman J. Israel, Esq., in which he stars as an idealistic defense attorney whose life is upended when his partner, the firm's front man, dies.
Asked if the film made him feel more cynical about the justice system, the star replied: 'It starts at home.'

He is toast.
He is going to get the Cosby “Uncle Tom” “blaming the victim” treatment.
Truths can NOT be stated in today’s USA.
There goes his career. He’ll be the next one on the He Touched Me dock.
Haven’t we been saying that for years? Even BO made a couple of speeches about the importance of fatherhood, something I wish he would devote some energy to now that he’s an ex-President. It would be a constructive use of his post-presidency.
The left deliberately destroyed the Black family unit (and specifically the paramount importance of Black fathers) to get them dependent on the Democrat party. Until that aspect is repaired, the Black community will continue to suffer.
It was just talk. Doing something about it would violate leftist precepts of destroying the family.
I totally agree with Denzel Washington.

Nah. He’s black. He’ll get a pass.
I guess he was done with his career.
I think more than 50% of white children are born to an unmarried woman.
Denzel,”A Man On Fire”, I love the guy and always will, his movies, his love of God, and his no-nonsense thinking. He is a huge box office draw and there is no way Hollywood will off him.
100% accurate. Good on him for saying it. There’s a recent thread on FR about such. I don’t recall the title.
I don’t know if it’s that high, but if the White community ends up with an epidemic of fatherlessness, it will end up with the same problems that face Blacks (namely that of being more prone to criminal behavior and poor education).
50-60 ye ars ago the out of wedlock for black families was 20% and even less for white families.
Half a century of liberal policy in action.
It requires more of fathers than being there—though that’s a good start. Fathers MUST learn/know how to extend emotional intimacy; lavish healthy affection; thoroughly dependable unconditional love; firm fitting boundaries etc. They must make a heart to heart emotionally bonded CONNECTION that endures at least the first 6-8 years of life. Merely showing up at ball games is a good start but NOT SUFFICIENT in and of itself.
LBJ was truly a monster. So many ills of today can trace their roots back to his policies, including the destruction of the nuclear family in the black community, the destruction of black home ownership thru so-called “urban renewal”, not to mention the waste of 58,000 lives in the Vietnam War.
Color me stunned!
He is quite right. Gangs have replaced fathers. Boys need leadership.
When I was little, my Dad, sister and I belonged to Dads and Daughters. It was awesome; camping trips, etc. Fathers can join clubs like that with their sons, taking away the impulse to join gangs.
My boss saw, when his son was around fifteen or sixteen, that his son was starting to get into trouble. So he took up kayaking with him. His son got cleaned up and now is a productive member of society. Fathers have a role that mothers can never replace.
