Great video! But we are all accountable for our actions including us ladies...I can't seem to understand why a woman would want to lay down with a man with multiple kids by multiple baby mommas and think that somehow she can change him...just blows my mind...

[marcusjones2000]

I would agree we are all accountable for our actions. What I will tell you is that women who exhibit the behavior you described often times suffer from a lack self esteem. Which often times can be traced back to a missing father. Women derive there initial sense of self esteem from there father.

In general, we as a people are too caught up in "who is more to blame men or women". To me, that is not relevant. What is relevant is that we recognize as our #1 problem and begin to focus on it as group!

Bravo... Very well constructed, delivered and received!

[marcusjones2000]

thank you so very much! As a people we need to focus on the things that are within our control...We have to clean up our own house first!

@marcusjones2000 Well said Marcus, also a lot of women growing up in single mother homes learn this behavior from their mothers and lack a good male figure in their life to judge other men by.

I wonder how I would have turned out if I had an absentee father, would I still have a wife and son? Would I still have a good job? Would I be sitting in the break room drinking coffee and checking my email right now?

i agree with you sister we really have to be realistic and like you said be accountable peace

They are current and they are printed on many different web sites. In many different articles. My thought is...if it is any where close to that. It is too high. Let's say that number is off 10%...are we really a lot better off?

[marcusjones2000]

Many many humble thanks! The thing we need to understand as a people is....if we do nothing else...except change the 71% rate at which black children are being born without there fathers...too a 30% clip....our entire culture will be different....!
