Barack Obama speaking on CSPAN now on Fatherhood

[SupremoDivino]

When I read on yahoo that Barry made a speech and addressed Black fathers...

...I knew it was time to head over to BGOL, lol. In any case, WTF?!

Did Barry make a speech to Black women on Mother's Day, about choosing no good men? Frankly, shitty women choose shitty men, and they generally have shitty children. No woman worth shit will put up some of these bullshit dudes out here. Considering all of that, you don't just focus in on Black men, on FATHER'S DAY, in front of the world...

Come on, Barry - you dropped the ball. Is it alright to talk shit about Black men? I bet he'd never tell Black women to make better choices on national TV. This was NOT the time or the place. If he wants to address this issue - get Black women and Black men together, and discuss the issues that are plaguing us...

That was a very politically correct move, in my mind. It's alright to shit on the Black man, huh?

 

[Blackmayne]

its a hard pill to swallow, but its true MORE black men need to do the right thing and set strong examples esp fathers!!! if your doing your thang and being responsible how would Obama's speach offend you?!?!

I don't have kids, nor do I allow myself to deal with silly broads. However, taking Fathers Day, on National TV, to call out Black men...

...it just doesn't look good. Did he call out any women on Mother's Day? Probably not. Why is it okay to single out Black men? Just not feeling it, even if he did drop some science. Like people said Jeremiah Wright had bad timing; Obama was guilty of the same today.

 

[Rtu456]

Well Obama can't call out black women, because that would be translated into misogyny by white women/Repubs and that would be at least another week or two of Obama bashing on that issue. So perhaps Michelle could give a speech on the matter, but she's not as good an orator as him so it might not work.

He is a black man, it makes sense for him to address other black men. But, aside from that, when Bill Cosby called out black men and women, most of yall were still crying foul. I don't see how encouraging someone to do the right thing = shitting on them. Yall must be really sensitive or some shit, if you got your shit together, you should be standing behind him and pushing the message.

I think Fathers day was a perfect day to call out the dead beat dads, and we should do the same regarding terrible mothers and dumb decision making women. Equal opportunity is what I am about.

 

[DAYNE]

Spoken like a true deadbeat. Good job loser. Hopefully someone can teach these kids how to become the man that you arent.

I had the best of your wife you fucking simp, before the c-section scars and the extra weight, I had the bitch in her prime

I support Barack but that's bullshit and We need to call it out! His speech should have read like this...

Barack says quote: "You and I know how true this is in the African-American community. We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled - doubled - since we were children. We know the statistics - that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and twenty times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home, or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it.

All because these Hoodrat ass black women keep choosing to have children with men who are broke dope boys and loosers. Who's fault is it? The BLACK WOMEN! Stop having children when you are already broke and on welfare. If your momma has 5 kids for 5 different men, then YOU need to make sure you don't follow her path! We know for fact that "black men" don't leave "Black Women"...Black women have CHILDREN for men they were never WITH in the first place!" : end quote


*the problem will persist until people stop being so politically correct and call out these baby making machines who will have children with any body and then cry about it later!

I agree 100 percent. I wish the white media would stop spreading that bull shit.

 

[wantyme]

whether you agree with him or not, you at least have to notice the fact that this is an issue in todays society that ive never heard a presidential candidate address. this is that human factor that i appreciate from dude that america should as well. the only issues we have arent the economy and gas. this country needs a higher moral standard first then maybe we can change some things we can control.

 

[Flawless]

this is straight up bullshit, i dont know any niggas who aint taking care of their kids, y'all should know better than to listen to white folks acting like they all take care of their kids.

It appears that "regular" cats (Not running for office) can't call out black women either.

The way I see it, so many people have been programmed to assume that black men are getting black women pregnant and bolting versus the reality, "Black women are choosing to get pregnant for guy who aren't real men in the first place".

I met a chick at my job the other day, She had 2 kids (2 different men) she was 25. When I asked her about her first baby's father. She immediately said "HE A LOSER AND HE A BUM!" I simply asked her....was he a "BUM" when she was "first" fucking him...she replied "Yea he was...!".....

So I asked her "why were you having unprotected sex with someone who didn't have a job and didn't work" she told me she "thought he would be a man once he found out she was pregnant".....she later did the same thing again a year later with "another loser without a job".....

DO YOU SEE THE PATTERN?

If we don't educate our sisters the cycle will continue. The power is within the sisters....

 

[ClevelandDawg216]

good speech. not understanding the outrage. he was speaking to fathers on FATHERS DAY.

 

[SupremoDivino]

Their is enough negativity surrounding the Black male in the media...

...calling Black men out, on national TV, is not the way to rectify the situation. I don't dispute what was said, just where he said it. For other ethnic groups listening this speech, they won't understand. They're going to take that to mean that Black men, in general, are just shitty fathers -if he felt the need to call them out in a speech on national tv.

Not if the black men doing the right thing would finally stand up and be seen. Time for us to force the camera to turn away from the blinging assholes. Rap especially glorifies the assholes and the worst in black society. What Barack is doing is pointing the light at the problem thats done in the darkness of ignorance and "I don't want to address it because if I do my friends will think I'm not cool".

It fuckin' time that being a good father is COOL.

Black women need to make betta choices. For yall bitches get started I'm 23 no kids. If sistas said I only mess with brothers with degree U know dem kats who be in the library after class on they shit. This bullshit wouldn't continue. I don't have to do a damn thang. His speech does not apply to me I came from a two parent loving home.


It was Kesha fault. She choose to fuck with Ray Ray weed smoking ball playing no going to class ass. Instead of messing with Shaun quiet kat who went to class who was a computer science major. According to Kesha Shaun's ass was lame. Now kesha got a kid and Ray Ray dipped.

O Shaun's put in work and still remembers what kesha did and now says fuck da sistas. Some of these women need to choose better. A chick to me my ass was boring. Chick I am a 23yr old brotha my life has been a rollercoaster ride. I was born premature my ass almost died. U try and be the good brotha and they shit on U. I seen the same chick with 2 kids. She heard I was doing my thing. I repeated her same words to her. Her face dropped da shit was priceless. Tell Ray Ray exciting ass to take care of his damn kids. Bitches I give back I tutor. I'm not taking care of no other man's kids that I didn't create other than family or my God kids. The good guy finally won. The older I get the more my stock goes up.


What bout the quiet brothas that do what they are suppose to do. The fuck ups and the losers gets all the attention.
