Why is it no black men want any black man to say anything about black men who don’t want to care for their black children? And I should refer to any such black dudes as black boys or kids, because ANY real man of any race is one that possesses responsibility about mostly all things, but especially about his children. But will Earl Ofari Hutchinson please explain why he, like most black males, does not want anyone to say a damn thing about black dudes that will not be true fathers to their sons and daughters? Now he and other black brothers are uptight and bent out of shape about Barack Obama’s recent statements concerning this issue, just as they get all steamed up when Bill Cosby voices advice to these irresonsible black boys all across America. When, in fact, we need more black leaders taking up this issue and speaking out about it. In fact, we need to be holding forums and workshops all over the nation to educate these “overgrown, irresonsible boys, making babies, who refuse to be fathers.” And I am Rev.
