Our Black Males need their Dads, they need a father

Our Black Youth are GRIEVING for their lack of fathers, the highest title and authority any and every man can have, is to be a father.

The destruction of the Black Family began with the Black male, or the black male was the target of the destruction. America’s families were created to sustain a village, a community, a race, a people, a nation. The domino effect of the destruction of the male, the black male, is and will be the downfall, ultimately of any nation, or race, or people.
2.2 million Of incarcerated humans, are just under 1 million black males, all since the Brown V Board of Education came down:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_v._Board_of_Education
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954),[1] is a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court, which overturned earlier rulings going back to Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, by declaring that state laws which established separate public schools for black and white students denied black children equal educational opportunities. Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Warren Court's unanimous (9-0) decision stated, in no uncertain terms, that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." As a result, de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, this victory thereby paving the way for integration and the Civil Rights Movement.

A village, a community, a race, a people cannot stand, if the family is not kept intake, with in the Community, all will fall apart, or succumb to all sorts of devastation, from predatory attacks of all kinds, the absence of guidance, the lack of love, the lack of foundation, from the adults who brought you into life, is devestating.

Youth look first to those responsible for them being alive, they first look to the Father and the Mother, the parental unit is designed to nurture, protect, lead, teach and guide the child from there vulnerable state of childhood, into, boyhood, or girlhood and is their when young womanhood and young manhood, to young adulthood, to manhood and womanhood, each of these “hoods,” and the parent uses boundaries and love to teach, it is require for a child’s development.

A healthy child’s development, must be First for the parents and for the community, it is required, in a large number, for the majority today and in ever increasing and in even greater numbers, instead of the shrinking numbers as it is today.

1/3 of the homeless today, are black males and the majority of black males come out of jails, unable, to get a job, or start a family. Yes systemic cause are at the roots, but the part a father has and is most crucial is, he must stand his ground and position, regardless of the systemic catalyst, like racism, and hopelessness, drug dealing and using, father less love, rudderless families, our leading our black males to and through a loveless life, waiting to go to jail or worst death, thinking materialism and being abusive misogynist, wearing bling, riding on 26’ dubs, is an answer.

A father is a higher Authority and title than the CEO, of GM, or being President of the United States of America, or the greatest Rapper the world has ever heard, or the greatest Basketball Player, or Football Player, fathers are Hero’s, even the father, who has paid a societal price, for their choices and comes back to the community looking to make a difference has a place, America cannot afford to lose another generation of Black males and we must redeem the males we have, we must provide a way and a place for them to show up.

This a clarion call; No more losing parental guidance, no more separations, the Stepfathers, Godfathers, Grandfathers, Uncles, all the ways down to, yes I repeat the Uncles, they must be brought into the place of leadership in our families, in our Communities, in the village, yes in you and me.
