Father family figure absent is a horrible problem.
And it still is not cool to be black and smart.
Hopefully the above will change.
We have a huge problem when fully 2/3 of black kids
are reading below grade level by 4th grade and it
just gets worse after that.
Its tough for African American fathers to read
to their children when they are not around.
A question must be asked about why African American
fathers leave the family so frequently compared to
other ethnic groups.

Some fathers were never there to start with and it is just part of the cycle of repeated teenage mothers who never knew what a good man was supposed to be , so they had nothing to draw on . Still I have a hard time believing that this whole thing was race related but maybe it was , I just think this cop is a jerk and needs to sit behind a desk and not be allowed to deal with the public.
