Further evidence that for some, no matter what the circumstances, a black man will be viewed as being angry and filled with rage, having issues or exhibiting some problem.

No wonder we haven't advanced with regard to race relations. For some of you, even a black man attending YALE, where black women are scarce, who is doing nothing but expressing himself at a damn poetry slam, is being talked about like he's a thug.

Pathetic.

Yes, that's a problem.
What does that even have to do with this thread? Most black men in their 20s aren't the father of 14 plus kids each. I've also seen talk shows like this where they put 5 or 6 KKK members on one side and 5 or 6 black supremacists on the other while their security stands in between while both groups yell insults back and forth. These type of talk shows aren't representative of normal Americans and it is entertainment for the most ignorant in our society...

Excellent post. I'm surprised someone hasn't found a way to blame Obama yet.

The day is still young, Railman.

Love those of you stating there are more black women at Yale then black men. So?? What IS your point?

It seems to really bother you that he dates white women. Tough. It's 2015. Catch up.

It was in response to other posts about that topic. I didn't just inject it into the discussion.

It's possible the mods cleaned things up and those posts no longer exist.

It's not that it bothers anyone, but honestly I do find his complaints regarding the "racist" fathers a bit odd. Should a father not be concerned about his daughter's well being?

Black guys have to understand that you are judged based on the overall standing of your community. When people look at the black community and 70% of the children are born out of wedlock without fathers in the home, and crime is rampant, most fathers will not be singing the praises of black men.

Dating white women seems like an easy fix, because typically white families are more intact than black families. But many are simply perplexed as to why, black men do not see the beauty in their own race of women. Some say it's the attitude, but there are black girls who are very pleasant and polite, and more often than not, black guys will still choose to date a non black woman over a nice black girl.

I think black men have to realize that other groups will not respect you, if you do not respect yourself and the women in your race. I do not see any articles from other races of men complaining about racist white fathers. Many black guys will only date non black women, but the moment a non black woman doesn't express interest or her father questions his intent, suddenly, THEY ARE RACIST.
