Check your facts with the number of young black boys who don't finish high school. Then round up all the ones that made it and compare the numbers. There are more failures than success, and most raised by single parent women. Check your facts with the number of black men in jail.

I think back to my adolescence. My Daddy was and is the star of my world. My mother and I didn't have the best relationship growing up. However, when at 12 that first spot of "womanhood" showed up, it wasn't my Daddy I called for in the bathroom. When he came, I sent him away. lol!! I think my father had a huge hand in the woman I am today, but he's not who taught me how to be a woman. That came from my mom and all the wonderful women who modeled strength and grace in front of me regularly. Does that statement negate my father and his influence on my life? Not at all! And I don't at all take it as an affront to my parenting that there are certain intangibles about maleness that my two boys are only going to get from their father. Just MHO!

His mother married at one point and they lived with her husband. When they weren't with him, they were living with his grandparents.

Where are the statistics to prove this? Do you care to look at your current President Barack Obama? He was raised by his mother for most of his life. Is he not a "good" man. Being able to raise a child period has nothing to do with gender. It's about the person and their values. Think about this, if you have a woman that sleeps around and doesn't have any self esteem or value her self worth, do you think she can raise a little girl to be a "good" woman? I'm sure if you did research on this topic, you would find MANY leading, honest, loving, "good" men that were raised by, dare I say it, W-O-M-E-N! Ummmmm how do figure women can’t raise “good” men?
