For at least 179 years (from British conquest to emancipation) the male slaves were robbed of their birthright of learning to be proper fathers and providers

OK, so how many years do we need to recover from that? Lets say another 179? Well we gone 178 since emancipation so this excuse should expire next year.

Tired of those crappy arguments now. So the good fathers never had any of those issues to confront?

Professor, tell the wutliss and careless men to MAN up to their responsibilities and stop with the flippin excuses for the behavior!

Agree with both, tired of the excuses. The country needs a re-education program to educate men about their responsibilities as a father, and we need tough child support penalties.

Too broad a statement. Not true.
