#FATHERS MISSING
Mothers and aunts in expensive “doos” and three inch nails, lament the mistreatment of their “innocent young boys,” whose crime was? “He jes got in with the wrong crowd.”
Bullshit!
The young men had no fathers, no male role
models to emulate, no one to demonstrate how to be honorable law-abiding employed
adults.
Our welfare system perpetuates the fatherless
system. The cycle continues. These ne’er-do-wells have
no future unless something drastic is done to secure a normal
home life. Not about to happen. Nothing will change
because the underclass respects their self-anointed leaders who
refuse to focus on the boys’ most dire need--trustworthy fathers.
Au contraire, admonishes Savrini to his
imaginary audience, their people berate pro-family speakers accuse them of proselytizing
a diabolical racist concept antithetical to their society’s
mores. How impertinent that an outsider should suggest
that the number one need is an adult male and an adult female
to forge the family unit.
“The community” foments anger at the “system” because there are not enough hand-outs. All the
money in the world will not solve the problems caused by men
reared by single mothers on welfare, by the dearth of good men in their sons’ lives.
At the police station, before the rolling
cameras and the sympathetic news people, the Mamas protest.
“Po’lices should do mo to keeps our boys on the right track.”
Everyone forgets the youth programs sponsored
and run by these very same officers whom they accuse
of brutality and a substantial want of concern.
