Special Edition Of Washington Watch Confronts The Fatherhood Crisis In The Black Community

It?s great that someone finally decided to address this issue, particularly for women coming from fatherless homes. I?ve encountered many women who fit the categories of the women shown in the video above. Most were seeking intimate relationships with older fatherly men or just seeking validation in the form of promiscuity from any and many men. What?s worse is that the women weren?t aware or conscious of what they were doing to themselves and why they were doing it. I?m glad to see that the women in this video are brining to light this issue which could be very unhealthy- mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically- to all women. I know not all women will be interested in watching the video, but I hope many have the chance to check it out. Along with religious principles, these are the type of community issues pastors SHOULD be addressing in churches. Bishop TD Jakes and Roland Martin are great for their work in putting this out.

As for the men who have helped to bring a child into this world, please help to raise that child, especially your daughters. Give them the guidance they will need to face a challenging society and stop being selfish. Regardless of the setbacks or relationship issues you may be dealing with, you still have a duty! Lest they will become part of the 70% statistic that could lead to; ?acting out, using drugs, quitting school, becoming pregnant, and also going to jail?, and also being involved with unhealthy relationships with carefree men like the women interviewed in the video.

Share this video!
Peace and God Bless!
