And if these mothers raised a respectful child, a child who accomplished something in life, be it a sports leg-up in this world, I ask you what has that child learned from the experience of living in a fatherless home? Do these children become responsible men and women who believe in responsibility and understand the reason for the need of an education, the importance of obtaining a job, the value of marriage in terms of a family's success and the strength of
a society,and how the child learns from both the father and mother on now to to become a well rounded human being. Most of them don't...what is the marriage rate for black men and women. I know black women say they can't find decent black men to marry, mostly because black men don't want the responsibility and they can always get the sex when they want it..too many willing, stupid women who have no respect for themselves.
Kevin’s mother was married when both of her children were born. Their father abandoned the family before Kevin’s first birthday, but reconciled with his children when Kevin was 13. Kevin remains close with his father. During his MVP speech, he was thanking his mother for her hard work and presence during those early years. Both parents have jobs and are still employed despite their son being a multi-millionaire.
How do I know this? Google. Perhaps you should have spent 30 seconds researching Kevin’s background before writing such an angry post that presupposed all African-American families are the same.
That's a pretty narrow minded attitude you have.......too bad you never met MY mom.
Although much of what you said doesn’t apply to this particular case, I hear your general point and agree that what you said is the norm for too many.
When I was in 8th grade biology, there was a point that resonated with me like nothing else could. It was the fact that I was born with all of the eggs that I would ever have. That my future children were resting inside of me.
That’s when I began to make decisions on how I treated myself for the good of those babies. I didn’t touch drugs. After a couple very short experiences with alcohol, I gave that up, too. I didn’t get a tattoo until after I was done having babies and my body was really my own.
After watching my single mom struggle to support me, and seeing the contrast between that and how my friends with fathers lived, I realized that the single most important decision I could make for my future children was to chose their father well.
Girls do not understand that they’re already making choices that’ll affect their future children’s lives when their 15.
I think that one of the ideas that’s hurt that decision-making process is the premise that relationships should be based on love alone, with no practical considerations at all.
Even the thought that a girl can value herself and demand a commitment before having sex is beaten down by society. We get angry when so many girls act like cats in heat (not this guy’s mother, obviously) but don’t understand that contrary behavior isn’t even tolerated, let alone encouraged. Very few young men will stay with a young woman if she insists on remaining a virgin until her wedding night.
Good courtship has taken so many blows over the past few decades that I don’t think that there’s any hope left.
