With the illegitimacy rate in the black community at 70 percent, Hollywood sees fit to put out tripe like “My Baby’s Daddy.” And parents who let their children see this garbage should be ashamed, especially black parents.
In the black community it’s become somewhat of a trend (and joke) to refer to one’s illegitimate child’s mother as “my baby’s mother” or father as “my baby’s daddy.” But it’s not funny. It’s sad. It represents an almost-complete cultural meltdown from generations before when black families were dignified and decent.
The percentage of fatherless families in a community reliably predicts that community’s rate of violent crime. Fatherless boys are twice as likely to end up in jail even when race and income are held constant. Fatherlessness strongly correlates with child poverty and criminal behavior.
Statistics show that even half a father is better than no father. Generally, a man not living with his children does not support them or see them on a regular basis. What the male child does see on a regular basis is man after man sleeping in his mother’s bed. A boy learns to treat women the way he sees the women in his life being treated. In the cases of boys without fathers, he sees women as sex objects, as he should.
We’re always hearing about the poor, most of whom are single women with no husbands. Liberals attempt to blame poverty on racism, but anyone with half a brain can intuit that the breakdown of the family is a significant factor.
When I see men like Jesse Jackson (with his own illegitimate child) working the Democratic plantation, raising money to perpetuate an ungodly, anti-family agenda, I’m almost physically ill.
The only hope for the black family is not more jobs, government programs, welfare or entitlements. The only hope for anyone is to turn to God and His pattern of the family: husband and wife cleaved together as one flesh. The rest is just rubbish.
