Rev Jesse Jackson is.....

... i'm not even sure of what to say. His comment that Barack Obama was talking down on black folks durng his father's day speech and that there are more important issues to deal with when talking about black folks is absolutely ridiculous. Once again, i think he had nothing else to say and so he had to say something negative to get himself into the eyes of the public.
Yes, too many black fathers are absent from their homes. They keep making babies and don't have the sense to take care of them. The Government actually has to force them to take care of their kids by garnishing wages and trying to locate them all over the country. If thats not a problem, then I dont know what a problem is. There are so many children that grow up with no father in the home and it reflects in their lives. So many boys or young men, misbehave because they have no role models to emulate. I give kudos to the mamas who bring up kids to be decent citizens but women cannot do it alone.
Irresponsible fathers, a lot of times bring about irresponsible children and fathers who are in jail are more likely to have their kids follow in their foot steps. Fathers who physically abuse their partners are more likely to have kids who follow in their foot steps.
Yes, kids who grow up having a responsible father in the house who sets rules have a better chance of being decent citizens
Black folks, lets call a spade a spade and stop trying to hide our problems as the first step to solving a problem is admitting that we have a problem
