I don't BELIEVE that I'm a father. I used to travel a lot and I've had a lot of "flings" when I younger so the possiblity of fatherhood does exist, but so far....no suprises, lol. But thanx Harry, Mel, Cynique and everyone else. I'd also like to wish Del and Troy and CD a very happy Father's Day although I still put it in the same category as Mother's Day. An unnecessary holiday invinted to make more money and placate the conscience of a guilty and gullible children. I don't have a desire for marriage, especially monogamous marriage...but I DO have a desire to be a father. However personally, I don't think it's very responsible to bring children into a world that isn't very promising for the average Black person and where our people collectively have become so powerless to protect and provide for them. I take the role of being a father VERY seriously. If God blesses me to bring life into this world I want to KNOW that I can provide for and protect them. I can't say that Black men collectively have enough power in this society to do that for their children. And the sad part is I don't see a major plan that the Black community...in America atleast...has to establish and safe, stable, and progressive society for our children to grow up in. Most seems to have children by accident, and those who PLAN and live responsibly often do so with White spouses. If we as a community finally get it together, if I'm not too old I really want to participate and encourage other Black people of means to ADOPT Black orphaned children from both here and abroad. I don't know what others are seeing, but for the past 5 or 6 years I've been seeing a lot of White gay/lesbian couples walking around with Black children that they've adopted and I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Why of all the children a homosexual couple could adopt....do they seem to like adopting Black children? And why are WE letting it happen instead of adopting them ourselves?

LOL. Right, Funny i didn't realize that you said almost the same thing. It just seemed to me there was no other way. Something or - someone can be broken but still functional through improvisation. .
