It has been over 150 years since this slave thing was an issue.Christ, there are days when you are dumber than a foot stool! You see an amazing black father as better than a good father and say your not a racist? Wanting to be an amazing black father is like trying to win second place moron!!I disagree. I owe it to my children to be an amazing Black father...not just a good father. I would be doing them an injustice not preparing them for the racism whites use. I measure my effectiveness by how my daughters are doing not by what you think I should be doing.A father, a good father worries about being a good father NOT a good BLACK father!You dont have to be racist or angry to be part of the collective. All that is required is being Black, observant, and not a step and fetch it uncle tom.
You have no idea what a good father even is.
Asclep is supportive of fostering racial pride in the youngsters and feeding them tales of superiority and greatness.. But if WE did that -- --- ---- well you know the drill.
One thing I never do in fostering racial pride is make up tales. Everything I tell Black youth is based on facts much of it from Black and white researchers that dont have an agenda like the whites that lied about these topics in the first place. I dont particularly think its smart to tell Black kids that they were slaves and then whites set them free. Doesnt really have the effect of making them feel good about themselves. I dont say anything about being superior. I do let the actions of whites speak for themselves so the kids can form their own opinions.
And then there was Dred Scott.
Sometimes it is better for everyone just to forget history and move on.
