How come black men don't raise their own children? Did you know that 85% of black kids grow up without fathers?

That's an interesting question. Some black men don't raise their own children for various reasons such as lack of financial security, lack of educational opportunities, or death of the biological father. However, some also choose not to be involved for cultural or personal reasons. In either case, research has found that this has a dramatic impact on the development of the child, leading to higher chances of poverty, inadequate educational success, behavioral and emotional problems, delinquency and involvement in criminal activities. Furthermore, when black men do choose to take an active role in their child’s life, research also has found that the child does extremely well, which shows the significant impact of a caring and involved father figure in a child's life. Therefore, it's important for the broader community to support black men in becoming active, involved fathers to their children.
