>>Denzel Washington says upbringing and a lack of father figures are to blame for many young men ending up in jail.<<
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.
I totally agree with Denzel Washington.
"I'll have those n*ggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years..!
I guess he was done with his career.
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.
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.
Not father figures. Not Grandma’s not mom’s it’s lack of Dad’s lack of Dad’s lack of Dad’s lack of Dad’s lack of dads... End of story
Our racist leftist government creating handouts and dependency upon dependency and giving rewards and raises to people who work in government programs who give out more and more free stuff is the problem.
Uh-ho. He’s gone off script. The Left will reign him back to where he belongs.
Denzel better be squeaky clean or he will get the Cosby Treatment.
I hope other good and Godly black men of stature will publicly back him. It is time for those truths to be accepted, and for real hope and change to occur in that community. Prayers up for Denzel.
That and 60% have psych problems or mental disabilities. Our prisons today are the mental hospitals of yesterday. Reason? State, County, and Local federal aid. $$$ for each prisoner.
Be careful Mr. Washington or you’ll soon be ‘Cosby’ied...
