It was our private joke because the day is a reminder of what our children don't have. And yes, I am a strong advocate for father's rights.<br /><br />On my blog, I gave a shout out to my late(best man in the world) daddy. I agree - Black fatherhood needs to be celebrated on this day.

All the...I'm glad someone took time to say it. All the non-existent fathers are stealing the shine from those who do it 365/24/7. Could we forget those not among us for whatever reason so that we might celebrate those of us doing the best we know how. <br /><br />But that seems to be the lay of the land. The negative gets so much attention until we forget that the positive does exist and exists in great abundance. And happy Father's Day.Max Reddickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360630810931410487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914710637340292931.post-77940108823990756852009-06-21T21:03:20.959-04:002009-06-21T21:03:20.959-04:00Uppity - You are right about calling dad up on fat...Uppity - You are right about calling dad up on fathers day. It is a totally different conversation than it is when I talk to my momma. Yeah it is popular now to beat up on daddy but if you point that out you get accussed of sticking up for the deadbeat fathers.Citizen Ojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07001825524756033450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914710637340292931.post-76663793911065749902009-06-21T20:57:41.426-04:002009-06-21T20:57:41.426-04:00This is so true. We don't give Father's D...This is so true. We don't give Father's Day the same due. I mean, we call up the house, mom picks up and we say "Put pops on the phone." He comes to the phone and we stutter through a "Happy Father's Day dad. I....um...love you" and he mutters back an awkward thank you and I love you as well, then we say "Put mom back on the phone."<br /><br />I mean part of it is just how dads are--many times just the provider and disciplinarian and the idea of lovey-dovey kinda doesn't make sense. But in this day and age, we love to chastise our fathers for what they didn't do and we laud and praise our mothers. It's become passe to hate on our fathers and to treat them like crap. I didn't observe the FB and Twitter messages that clowned the dead beat daddies because I was out with my own father all day. But as I said in my sermon this morning, we shouldn't let the hang ups of fathers hold up our relationships with other people and most certainly with God.<br /><br />Sadly, most people use their dead beat daddies as an excuse for their own shortcomings. That's bullshyt in my opinion.the uppity negrohttp://uppitynegronetwork.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
