2. As a black woman I have no problem with Obama's stance
Edited on Fri Jul-11-08 10:16 AM by CakeGrrl
No one group is blameless.

You can argue the degree to which prejudice and profiling play a part. Make no mistake, this nation has a deep history of that.

However, deadbeat dads and absentee fathers cross ALL demographics. There's nothing wrong with asking people to take individual responsibility.

While people can argue back and forth about how much societal reparation is in order, people can take responsibility for the type of parent they are - and whether they should even BECOME parents.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if the MSM jumped on this as another opportunity to drive a wedge between Obama and a major voting bloc.
