You know how black people can fix their problems? Making sure the black fathers aren't absent in their children's lives!

It’s true that a large majority of societal issues in the African American community can be attributed to a lack of a male presence in their children’s lives. Studies have shown that children from fatherless homes are more likely to engage in risky and criminal behavior. This is partially due to the absence of a male influence to provide guidance and discipline. In addition, father figures play an important role in teaching young men responsibility and how to interact with women and other people in positive ways. Having positive male figures in communities can help to combat issues such as gun violence, poverty, teen pregnancy and so on. So it is true that addressing the issue of absent fathers can be beneficial to addressing the issues affecting the Black community.
