Everything is easy if you just look at the single-mother’s situation from a linear point of view.

I’m so glad I wasn’t participating in this inane troll beatdown as it took place. My tolerance for stupidity was extremely low this evening and I woulda punched the screen every time I saw one of ckoeber’s moronic diatribes.
Every element of ckoeber’s arguments was built upon the premise that the choice to be a “single mother” was instead the result of some inhumane punishment inflicted upon them against their will. From there it naturally followed that the babydaddy would unavoidably be imprisoned because that’s just what society does to the inner-city black man. At that point it would then fall on society’s shoulders to raise the children and make sure they did their homework and teach them about nutrition and instill in them a sense of morality and purpose. ckoeber liked to begin his argument at this point in the cycle, with the failure of prevalent white society to substitute for the role of responsible parents. He never wanted to touch on the possibility of young men and women not engaging in irresponsible behavior and waiting to start families until they were in a position as adults to support themselves AND their children.
The very fact that the term, “babydaddy,” has become acceptable in the urban culture is the embodiment of the self-inflicted problem. It minimizes the importance of the parental role and attempts to validate the illegitimate role of the unmarried father with a ‘title.’
Sorry, buddy. I won’t own the intentional irresponsible and self-destructive behavior of others.
And only once those elements experiencing the problems begin to own the responsibility of their actions will they begin to enjoy the opportunities and liberties enjoyed by those from their communities who do.
So, ckoeber, feel free to place the blame elsewhere. But stop regurgitating the same victimhood mantra.
