Of Stones, and How They Roll

Cobb has a very interesting take on one of the things that is often considered "wrong" with black folks, namely, that black males are disposed to create children but not support them:

Along with Cosby, I throw shade against the Forty Percent.. those below the middle class who don't appear to be holding up their end of the bargain. The Civil Rights Movement was a success. We destroyed Jim Crow, but you can't take blackfolks to the next level if you as a man haven't handled your own business at home. And for this, I'm convinced there is no government cure, and nothing politics can do but preach. We can't have people coming around to police how black men handle their social relationships. That's all on us.

I understand that I will never understand, but that doesn't stop me from trying. It's good to see there are people out there who want to help me try.
