Roland S. Martin on the importance of Fathers
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009I don’t always agree with Roland Martin, but I frequently do and in those instance he’s generally not “got the right idea”, he’s generally dead on. He has a on CNN.com discussing the value and importance of father’s in society that’s worth a read. In part:
My mom has gotten ticked at times because I often talk more about my father than her on TV or radio. It’s not that I don’t love or appreciate her. But I do it because it is rare to hear men, especially black men, speaking affirmatively about their fathers.
I know what it means to have a dad raising and caring for you, and not seeing his child in a drive-by style, or just sending a check. Dads must be present and accounted for, playing a vital role in their children’s life.
