I wanted to pick up on something Patrick said. there is a direct, I mean direct link to young men joining gangs and embracing violent behaviour and the absence of male fathers in the home-there is no doubt! The justice system plays a primary role in the systematic destruction of the role of the black fathers role in the rearing of his children period. Any lawyer or brother who has been in the courts would attest to this. Its common knowledge.

So Patrick, a candid discussion does need to happen and fast.

Hmmmm….now that you mention it lol! (insert foreboding laugh here)

stay tuned…..

However, I read another article on Friday in the Toronto Sun, headline as follows: 25 of 28 male murders are Black, Why? “Why?” Well how about the systematic destruction of the Black father’s role in the rearing of children as being part of the problem.

Perhaps now is the time for more Brothers to start speaking this truth out loud.

@Stephen-I hear you! It seems like a day doesn’t go by that a brother doesn’t tell me about the enormous problems they are going through with their ex or the courts having an extreme bias against men who are trying to see their kids or even both. Its a jungle out there for sure. Hopefully, the players who are doing everything to make the team lose realize that and change their game play. Unfortunately, some of them won’t until the games nearly over.
