Comments on: IT JUST DOESN’T MAKE SENSE http://fatherdad.com/2007/08/it-just-doesnt-make-sense/ One good black father among many... Tackling fatherhood and loving (almost) every minute! Tue, 10 Apr 2012 16:03:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kim http://fatherdad.com/2007/08/it-just-doesnt-make-sense/comment-page-1/#comment-16729 Kim Sun, 19 Aug 2007 16:52:53 +0000 http://fatherdad.com/?p=180#comment-16729 Excellent post and so true. A few weeks ago some girlfriends and I were talking, all were moms. We were discussing the horrible things we see on the news that happen to children (most of the times at the hands of adults). But we all agreed that no matter how well you raise your kids you still can't protect them from people who had no kind of parenting. And the father one of those murdered college students said something similar, he said its the parents fault that their child murdered his. And I totally agree. Excellent post and so true.

I find myself boycotting the news for longer periods of time than I ever thought I would. I also find myself praying for longer periods of time than I ever thought I would. Be blessed.

My sons are now grown, and the youngest one leaves for college on Monday, yet I remember so vividly being so concerned with the bad news they were seeing and hearing. It only gets worse as they grow older. Imagine having to share with you son how to respond to the police when pulled over..... If had that conversation three times. We all know there is good new out there, but it is definitely buried under all the trivial, violence and theft. However, I salute you as an obvious caring and compassionate African American Dad...Now that's good news! From a mother of three sons, and two grandsons, I understand your frustration and concern.

I feel you Keith, it is sad how we often ignore the grander broader actuality in favor of focusing on the trivial. It is the way of the world, I pray for this earth, as we stand firm on a foreign land. Well as Masta Killa would say: “Light is provided through sparks of energy

I just ask myself what it'll take for stuff to really change. It can't be only about me teaching my kid right from wrong because some other kid may come along and pop my kid regardless. How do we reach out and become that village once more? No, we can’t go on like this. I just ask myself what it’ll take for stuff to really change.
