African-American Issues

The absence of black fathers in the home

Why are the black fathers being targeted for not being in the home to raise their children? As I recall, my children's father,s weren't in the home either, by the way, my children are white, with white fathers, and they got away without even paying child support. Why does color always have to be such an issue. Poverty is an issue also, no matter what color a person is. The well to do look down on those who have less than, and frankly, it is sickening. So many people call themselves Christians, Christ would never look down on someone of color, or those in need, without resources to get help. Scripture tells us, "Man looketh on the outside, The Lord looketh on the heart." Jesus doesn't see a person for his color, because God created each and everyone of us. Jesus doesn't look down on the poor and needy, but I know that He feels pain when He sees some so well off, and others do without. A rich selfish man will never get into Heaven.,It would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, This to, is in scripture. I'm not a person who sees color, or looks for wrong in people, All I chose to see, is God's children not being judged in man's world for who they are, and what they don't have, but as human beings. A lot of people have taught their children to be prejudice, you look on a play ground of small children, and they're all playing together as little kids, gifts of God, not as black, Indian, white, Japanese, Chinese and all other races out there. They won't see colors, until they get home, and parents teach them hate, and prejudice. Children, are smarter than adults. we should learn from them, instead of teaching them wrong attitudes.
