[wamnicho]

THANK YOU FEMINISM FOR EMASCULATING MEN IN THE WEST AND TURNING THEM INTO BOYS. I LOVE TO SEE AMERICA COLLAPSING SLOWLY LIKE A CANCER.

@delospr96

Obama is the rich handler, Stop being a conspiracy nut and grow up black BOY.

[glasscitadel12]

This is my first time hearing these comments. I don't hear anything negative. "It's always better to get it from the horse's mouth" as my great grandmother use to say.

[DrRonPaul]

Remember kiddies, murdering your child in the womb makes you a strong independent woman.

Not paying child support makes you a deadbeat dad.

Obey the media. Think not.

[brownsugar976]

black women abort their babies instead of bringing a child in this world, a deadbeat dad would of made the child felt like he should of got an abortion anyway...

[Hotrod7031]

funny how all these people writing these comments are calling barack obama an uncle tom and house negro for speaking the truth and addresing the issues. seems like the truth hurts to a lot of these childish punks on youtube.

[keibo99]

Wow...a friend of mine told me to watch this clip and I had no idea it would hit me that hard...I know all too well the "men" that really are "boys"...the ones that run out on their responsibility. It's so sad.

[richolie]

White people wouldn't understand. It's a black thing

[delihlaha]

@richolie..Well if it is a black thing...grow up!!!!! Face the facts you have children and nothing is sadder then telling your kids that they don,t deserve support because they also have the genes of their mother so they will not amount to nothing..well my children are still thanking their father for that remark...it marked them for live!! My ex doesn,t even deserve the right to see his children nomore.

[themaniusedtob]

those black fathers have no choice women have ALL choice. make women pay child support and not see the kids instead  and then go talk about deadbeat moms for a change!!!

[andreo]

@themaniusedtob Bullshit! My father had every opportunity to see me whenever he wanted to. He waited until I was 15 to show his face. I saw him twice that year. TWICE! I've not seen him since. I've ran into more people that claimed that they know him then I've actually seen him. Some "fathers" are simply pieces of shit and some mothers are as well if they deny access to fathers that actually want to be in a child's life.

[einsteinslies]

HAH! Even the HNIC top-cop black man in the land had an absentee father. TNB

[noizefloor]

still waiting on him to do a speech on women who like to have sex with deadbeats rawdog....

[TheMrTUFFTALK]

You CAN NOT talk about absent black men without acknowledging CONFRONTATIONAL black women. Maybe Michelle should come out with a speech and talk about black mother who drive black fathers from the home.. Like my mother did. My mom was the total opposite of my father to me, Abusive, acted at times unlady like in demeanor. Black men know what i am talking about. If only Michelle would Tell the truth about black women now.

[THESExEYEZxDONTxLIE]

@TheMrTUFFTALK

A real man does not abandon his children even if he decides to leave their mother. Real black women have picked up the slack for absent black men for decades now. I'm sorry if your mother was les than a lady but she is not a reflection on the kind of woman Michelle Obama is. Her husband is happy to be at home.

[TheMrTUFFTALK]

@THESExEYEZxDONTxLIE I agree a real man does not EVER leave his children. But to say "real black women have picked up the slack" that is a myth. What slack are they picking up. If our black men are continuely in prison, WTF are black women teaching these boys growing up. I'll tell you....NOTHING. I have seen black women support their kid, even when they have murdered, stolen,

beaten or humiliated people.... That is not a REAL WOMEN nor MOTHER at all. You give BW too much credit

[TheMrTUFFTALK]

@TheMrTUFFTALK And dont talk about michelle obama as if she can handle anything. She has NEVER been a single parent nor has she gone threw a divorce because a difficult spouse. I HAVE. I am a single parent as is my BROTHER too. Yes there are A LOT of single black dads out here but you wont know it becuase BLACK WOMEN and stupid ass obama pays attention to the ignorant blacks all the time.

[THESExEYEZxDONTxLIE]

@TheMrTUFFTALK

It's those black women who are there when no one else is. They may not be perfect but everybody makes mistakes. Single mothers have become the rule instead of the exception in our community and that's a sad truth. Black children deserve better and until our community stops looking for excuses and pointing the finger at each other our children will continue to suffer.

[TheMrTUFFTALK]

@THESExEYEZxDONTxLIE Our children are fine. If you only knew how many children have absent or dead parents in the military and grow up fine. The truth is that black men AND black women are failing miserably because we keep blaming each other. Kids dont care who's fault it is. They just want to grow up, have fun and make their own life later. People act as if a dad or mom is absent or dead... that the kid is guaranteed to hate himself. This is a myth and idiotic.

[THESExEYEZxDONTxLIE]

@TheMrTUFFTALK

LOL if you think that kids are completely uneffected by the absence of a parent or both you are in denial. I'm not saying the child is destned to fail or hate themselves. I'm saying the natural order of family GOD created to better us as individuals is not even a option for a growing number of african american children. Every child wants their parents around. How well the adapt to not having that is up to them.

[TheMrTUFFTALK]

@THESExEYEZxDONTxLIE Completely unaffected? No. only a idiot would think that. But that same argument could be made for kids not only needing their parents but also needing their aunt,uncles, grandparents---the WHOLE family structure. I am sure you've heard the adage "It takes a village to raise a child". So using your reasoning even JUST having both parents isnt enough. And it really isnt in my opinion also. But my point is kids will be fine if time and love are invested in them.

[TheMrTUFFTALK]

@THESExEYEZxDONTxLIE Completely unaffected? NO. only a idiot would say that. What i am saying is "It takes a village to raise a child". MOST families in this country not only have an absent family structure (involved uncles, aunts, grandparents) but also absent parents ( working too much or divorce). I say our kids are fine because really, their arent any "villages" helping to properly raise children anymore...and you know what.....our kids are no diffrent and are still succedding

[THESExEYEZxDONTxLIE]

@TheMrTUFFTALK

You faith in them is beautiful but that time and love they deserve alot of them are not getting. Take if from a volunteer.

[TheMrTUFFTALK]

@THESExEYEZxDONTxLIE No it's truly beautiful that your a volunteer. Thanx for giving someone a better chance.

[startec25]

maybe if the war on drugs a policy that he voted for, wasn't puting so many black men away, then maybe they will be more fathers around.

[isisqueenafrika]

You are not a man just because you can make a baby. Males who fail to support and parent the children they produced are directly responsible for the rising death rate of Black youth in the Black community. They are not men, but boys. Boys make babies and walk off; men stick around during adversity, and demonstrate their conviction to raise responsible men and women. Producing children does not make you a man or a women, parenting children and being responsible parents does.

[MissDutchessCouture]

i definently agree. simply making a baby, like my mother says, only makes a male a SPERM DONOR..not a father.

[revemupman]

Well if it wasn't for the sperm you wouldnt be breathing.

SO THANK THAT DEADBEAT!

[TheMrTUFFTALK]

@MissDutchessCouture And i definently agree a mother giving birth to a baby , only makes her a vessel not a mother. and like my dad said any woman you marry doesnt automatically make her your life partner .... respect and love does.

Something most black women have not learned yet. O well i guess they will just keep seeing us with asian, white and hispanic girls. We could care less are children are still black without black women.

[revemupman]

Last time I checked a man is an adult 18 and up with a penis.

And a women is the same except with a vagina.

Stop adding this responsibility crap to the definition of being a man. Women have the ultimate option of opting out on parenting, whereas the man has to sit and bite his fingers over the decision of the female.

You're in control of who you give the goods to, if you so happen to run into a dead beat. TOO BAD, SO SAD.

[MissDutchessCouture]

revemupman - Who was talking about the definition of a man? I was referring to the definition of a FATHER.

[revemupman]

Wasn't talking about your comment it was aimed at "isisqueenafrika"

Read your comment about sperm doners on top.

[brownsugar976]

I wonder why so many black men(boys)felt some type of way about his speech. Is it because the truth hurt for a lot of dead beat dads. and to know Our first black president acknoweldge this fact where though none of our 43 pres ever spoke on it at all.

[TheMrTUFFTALK]

@brownsugar976 I wonde why so many black women feel some type of way about people calling them bitches, hoes and other negative things. Is it because the truth hurt for a lot of skank black bitches.

You stupid fuck. ANYONE would be offended if a leader clumps all people of one race into a group like obama did. I am not a dead beat dad but was offended becuase he didnt make a distinction between me and deadbeats, He just clumped all black fathers into a group.

[mykole84]

@brownsugar976. also a lot of black women aborting. why dont we shame moms that abortion like we do deadbeats, i mean the laws is on their side so whats their excuse. also feminism created the crap.

[averitas]

Lets see him make fathers sign before an abortion then. When 1500 black babies are aborted everyday & he bows to PParenthood, how does he expect black men to take care of responsibilities, folks like him, to please the eugenicists of PP, to get the state and fed pay for abortions. So when they do have a child, of course they don't stay, they've never had to, let the state take care of it. That's the mindset. The male example are rappers, for girls, sleeping around for no reason, no dads.

[NiggaPhilosophy]

obamaaaaaaaaa..... RULES!

[babydoll7462]

YES HE DOES!!!!!!
