Obama CHECKS Absent Black Fathers

Today on Father's Day, Obama talks out against absent black fathers (including his own). Amen. I for one have never really celebrated Father's Day for this very reason. I haven't heard from nor seen my biological father since a visit back up to upstate NY when I was about 7 years old. I've been thinking about going up to visit the man but I don't necessarily have the desire. I'm SO tired of men, especially black men, not understanding the importance of being in the life of their children. I have absolutely no respect for him, but I do need to forgive the man before it's too late. Ugh. Ah well. Maybe one day....
