Washington Post covers DC Commission on Black Men

	Matt writes "My letter to the Post is as follows. I hope they publish it. ----- To the Editors: It's great that the Post covered the problems of black men and boys in DC on 9/13/03 at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A364 7-2003Sep12.html

	The problem though is that the article fails to mention what the root cause of fatherlessness is among blacks (and whites as well) in America's families: government programs that discourage ordinary women from forming long-term, committed relationships with ordinary men, the teaching of misandry to our young people of both sexes in our colleges, and so-called "family courts", influenced over the last 30 years by gender-based ideological dogma, that have worked mercilessly as a father-and-child-separating machine. All this, to create some kind of feminist utopian single-motherhood state. What's happened here in DC for the black population is an example of what is happening all across America, only moreso in DC for a variety of reasons. Feminists and their allies in the government are the root cause of fatherlessness in society. Generalized misandry, found all over pop culture and in the mass media, reinforce the attitudes that support the policies. The government has led the war on men and boys at the behest of feminists; they now are responsible for leading the effort to counter their misguided application of the family-destroying agenda they started in the first place."

nice letter (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Wednesday September 17, @08:15PM EST (#1) Nice letter, but given the high level of anti-male hate that suffuses the Post, I doubt they'll publish it. I'm still waiting for the Post to acknowledge that the abortion issue isn't just about women, and that men have no choice in legal fatherhood despite all the politicians who claim that they are "pro-choice".

No one wants to say it my friend (Score:1) by mts1 on Thursday September 18, @09:18PM EST (#2) (User #1382 Info) No one wants to hold the mothers accountable for what has happening to families in our nation. And most people are afraid to say the truth. The black family has been destroyed. They have given too many free resources to the BW who has in turn thrown her boys on on the street between the ages of 12 and 16, and has taught many of the girls to maintain the vicious cycle of having more children outside of wedlock. This cycle is not going to change overnight. And the boys are hurting bad from it. But being a blcak man myself, you will never blame momma. Momma in the black community is like God. But many black men are talking about this very issue. There are many bm that want to be a part of there families. But fatherhood is based on how much money you bring home. Many fathers dont have the money. And here is the kicker.... Many of these men were raised in single mothered homes. But try and get custody of your son or daughter, and the courts will make you seem like you are a criminal who does not deserve to be around your own children. The black family is an example of what all families can be in the future. This country is falling apart.
