Not false. That is a weak cop out for black men. A real man would not let the state support his family, and even if he had to for a while, he wouldn't just walk away from his family. What's stopping a man from stepping up and taking care of his family today? NOTHING!

@cleobtw FALSE, entirely false. It is a verifiable FACT that there were more fathers in the home BEFORE welfare. Welfare was given (in good intentions) to help single mothers get back on their feet. The result is an entire culture where women are literally REWARDED for not having fathers for their children. Because if it's found out the kids have a daddy, she's off welfare.
Black men didn't leave until AFTER they were made obsolete by the state.

Dude, there would be no government subsidized "matriarchy" (lol!) if men stayed with their families and didn't impregnate women who they have no intentions of making a home with. It's not rocket science... On the other side, if you are holding up your obligations and she is still not letting you see your child, then she is very wrong! Peace!

"My manchild left unattended" Did you keep him from his father?
No, you tell me HOW YOU FEEL IF I WAS GONE?
Your government subsidized matriarchy has brought this on us all.

This song is about Black Women. Period. Not racist...but a dedication. People need to let it go. There is nothing to contemplate because she was clear..and I sincerely thank her for that. Love coming back to this song. Is it so wrong that she has made a song specifcally for Black Women to Black Men? Hell to the no.

I thought she was talking about being appreciated!!! ANY type of WOMAN<I am giving you space to think about it!!!



I don't interpret this song as an expression of bitterness towards interracial couples or interracial relationships. I think this song was written to simply remind the world, and African-American men in particular, about the significance of African-American women and the important difference that these women make in their lives as mothers, sisters, and other loving relatives.

I wish the Black Men that always have negativity about Black Women would listen to this song. Even though there is some Good Black Men out here its just hard to come across them
