7 Responses to Dj Drama on CNN “Black Men In The Age of Obama”
Great Post! Much Respect!
What I’ve failed to realize is why so many people are using Pres Obama as a crutch to their lame excuses. There is no reason for any man not to be a “good” father to their kids; they didn’t ask to be here.
So I assume DJ Drama was a deadbeat, a shithead father? He neglected his kids and treated their mother like trash? So what now? You now throw them a check and still treat their mother like trash?
It’s sad that men are wanting props and giving props to Obama for doing something that they’re suppose to do as men. I lost all respect for this dude and some of the people on the panel. I feel offended and insulted as a struggling single father.
I take it that more African Americas are going to start getting married, instead of just creating baby mothers? If so, why did it take Obama to do this? Obama inspired Farrah Gray to all the sudeen wanting to be married and have kids? Like really, are you serious? Mind you , this was a man that didn’t want to get married and procreate to continue his legacy. What did he want before?
But all the sudden, people are having life changing moments due to a man that sitting in DC in which no one can get within his vision.
SMH @ a grown man being a role model to another grown man. I thought role models are people you know, and have had a personal effect on your life.
People we need to wake up. Stand up and take accountability for your actions. Be what Allah has blessed us to be.
we focus on the positive. whatever it takes to inspire good fatherhood. bravo! it’s host of things ppl ‘should’ do. and a bigger list of things we ALL do that we shouldn’t. stop passin’ judgement. unless you’re perfect.
Peace. Why is it that it’s passing judgement when men should step up to the plate as men? So it’s a leginamate reason not be a father of a child that you laid with a woman with? Part of the reason why men dont take care of their kids is they rush to the bedroom. We lay down “just because” nowadays, and you slip up and you have kids with someone you dont care for (in some cases)
Dr. Perry was the only person on that panel with self-reliance and made sense. He explianed about INIDIVIDUALISM and everyone’s own responsibilities. And the person that you get inspiration and drive from doesnt have to be the President of the United States but its can be any hardworking person out there that has qualities in them you want to strive for.
Bottom line, it shouldn’t have had to taken a black man to get into office for other black men to realize that being there for their children is of the utmost importance.
If Obama is what it takes for us to get back on track then so be it.
People need to stop making excuses and wake up.
who are you to judge when someone’s awakening is? you’re not God homie. lose that judgemental mindstate you’re in right now. experiences shape ppl, not ideals.
How is it judging when I’m talking about a situation directly.
Ideals don’t shape people? Then what is religion? I guess the ideal of religion is non chainging. Better get off that Don Lemon juice, B.
You say experience shape ppl? Yes, personal experiences; not someone elses experiences. Unless that nigga is your dad, sit that bullshit down. Obama is the father of black civilazation?
Child please.
lol, first of all, i’m sayin ideals as in idealistic thinking that you tryin to push. sure everyone man should want to take care of his child and should do this and should do that. blah blah blah *judgemental ass gibberish* followed by needless insults to me.
but who are YOU to say when that should happen? are you mad because someone got inspired by somebody else? God uses ppl like that to spread the word and set examples. live your life, sweep in front of your own porch and you’ll be fine. im done chatting on this. i take care of my child. whatever…
