    The evidence he provided shows that isn't happening at a rate different from other races.

    Who is "they"? What evidence do you have that "they" are doing that?

    The evidence is incorrect and “they” refers to the nonsensical article he attached. 

    Anyway, the wife and kids are home now and I have to do my evening responsibilities. Life is good when you’re living right, good evening gents.

    That’s the problem with you’re thinking, sometimes policies don’t fix problems. 

    Sure they do. Post depression housing policies helped lift white people out poverty and created wealth, the middle class, and destinations of commerce. Only problem is those purposefully prevented black people from taking part and now, 80 years later, people like you look back and ask what's the problem with black people.

    Deflection. That has nothing to do with black fathers abandoning their responsibly in droves.

    I'll address the first two points (the infographic above and the video). They both seem to use the same statistics.

    Help me understand this: Black fathers who live with their children are more likely to be highly involved with their children than other fathers who live with their children. Likewise, black fathers who don't live with their children are more likely to be involved than other fathers who don't live with their children. What does that have to do with the "myth of the absent black father?" It doesn't address the central point, which is the size of the populations of fathers living with their children. It tells that absent black fathers are more involved than other absent fathers, but it doesn't tell us how many absent fathers we're talking about.

    So how is this some great rebuttal to the absent father issue?

    Hint: it’s not. 

    Also, he mentions he came from a two parent household and is very successful. Only further proving my point of the importance of fathers.

    No, racist, he is not. He is a member of his community, and a fairly prominent one at that, and his message about the importance of fatherhood is common in the black community, as it is in all communities of people, a category of which blacks are an equal part.

    If you don't like being called racist and having your racist suppositions disproven by data and evidence, you should stop saying racist things.

    Multiple instances of your ignorant racism already, and given the racist white person's sensitivity to being criticized, I am anticipating some more from you as you react.

    Sitting back and pretending it’s whitey holding them down is the least effective solution, but it makes everyone feel better. 

    First, you would have to get them to acknowledge the problem, good luck with that.

    Keep it flowing, racist.
     

    You call everyone racist, it means virtually nothing coming from you.

    Yep, that's right. Don't address any of the data or his points, just throw out half-witted non sequitur. Fucking idiot.

    Look up high school graduation rates, poverty rates, and incarceration rates, pretty simple explanation really.  I would love to see the black community excel, but the onus is really on them.

    Ahh, yes, this pretending by those Conservatives/Republicans that blacks are facing a crisis due to the out of wedlock birth rate, and the perception that you really believe it's a crises when you don't.  And ahhh, fucking yes, this MYTH  of the absent black fathers perpetuated by Conservatives/Republicans and the reason that white politicians won't talk about it because who the fuck knows.  White politicians wont' discuss it because a.) it's false and b.) they don't care....just like you don't care but you're trying to give the perception that you do by speaking about it here. 

    But, let's take a look, shall we?

    Here are a few websites and videos you and your friends should read and watch:

    Case in point David Dennison, case in point. This is just another myth to keep the black man down.

    You said there is a full blown crisis in the black community. Besides just telling black men they should stick around and raise their kids, how do you propose we as a society go about getting them to do it?

    First, you would have to get them to acknowledge the problem, good luck with that. If you’re not a part of the black community you’ll be labeled a racist, so nothing will get done policy wise. No, it’s good ol’ fashioned personal responsibility and education, that’s the only way.

    If that is the case, then why did child poverty decrease and educational attainment increase during the same period when marriage rates began falling precipitously?

    I’ve read countless studies expressing how dire the situation is, but I guess congrats? Blacks are least likely to graduate high school and more likely to live in poverty by a large margin. Yes, this single parent household has served them well.

    You are way out of touch with any actual debate going on. Whitey holding them down?  Unbelievable. 

    No, I gave a response as to why the black community aren’t afforded the same opportunities as whites. The answer is actually very simple, black fathers need to stick around after insemination.

    When 70% of Black babies are born out of wedlock, that’s a full blown crisis. Funny how white politicians won’t touch it with a ten foot pole. Gee, I wonder why? Yeah, I’m the one out of touch. Get a grip.

    If you believe that black people are provided with the same opportunities as whites but still fail, then what exactly is your explanation for that phenomenon?  If you believe it is because "black culture" is defective, then how did that come to be?  

    Unfortunately, many black People aren’t afforded the same opportunities as whites, but to say it’s all systemic racism is untrue. The breakdown of the family structure, in my view, is the single biggest problem facing the black community. Fathers not staying around to raise their children results in single parent households that are often very poor.

    Stressing the importance of education may help to fix the issue, but again, that’s asking a lot of a single mother struggling to make ends meet. However, as whites we aren’t allowed to point these problems out. Sitting back and pretending it’s whitey holding them down is the least effective solution, but it makes everyone feel better.

    Should probably add Cupp too. EJ and co seemed to think UT was on him hard. 

    I think you’re correct. Although I should mention, lest we forget, aggy “backed off” any player Texas has landed thus far.

    What in the fuck did I just click into? A debate about the efficacy of taking a proven grad transfer at TB when we have scholarships available? What the fuck is going on here?

    It’s possible I got the thread off track with my question as to why we only took one back last cycle and lamenting the mediocrity of the position. Anyway, back to current recruiting.

    There's two ways you can view interest in Tre Watson.  Oh cool, the staff is always trying to maximize the roster and grad transfers are an easy, no downside way to do that. Or, OMG the sky is falling! Our RB room is doomed.  You certainly seem to be leaning towards the second.  There are more RB grad transfers on the market than just Tre Watson. IF the staff thought the RB position was in trouble and were "trying to get creative," we'd probably be hearing about them going after more RBs than just Tre Watson, who's is already deep into the recruiting process and taking OVs to many P5 programs.

    Watson is a talented player being courted by numerous P5 schools, including LSU. Why wouldn't our staff want him? Their interest doesn't have to be interpreted as an ominous referendum on all our current RBs.

    I think there is more than two ways to view the current situation. You can admire the staff for looking to upgrade the situation and also recognize their reason for doing so. The staff is very tight lipped about who they are pursuing behind the scenes, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they had reached out to other prospects. 

    I tend to think ominous is a step too far, but should we be concerned about a RB position that was out rushed by our QB? Absolutely.
