DOYIN RICHARDS Statement: I Have a Dream That Someday a Picture Like This Won't Be a Big Deal

[VulcanRaven]

Not married and no kids post

So glad

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

I just put my daughter's hair in a pony tail and be done with it

This how i look at it...i dont give a fuk if a million mfers are out there in the wrong...YOU DO NOT GET CREDIT FOR SHYT YOU SUPPOSED TO DO.

Thats why i didnt come in and hand out Goats for that thread celebrating that we have less black men in jail. Just doesnt sit well w/ me.

In theory you are correct, but we live in a world where people actually turn a blind eye or are perfectly fine with people doing the opposite. If you don't show some support for people doing the right thing then people forget what the right thing looks like.

Ultimately, whether you believe he is being an attention who're or not he doing what he supposed to do, I don't see why anyone would be mad, seriously we gonna complain about a black man being a good father AND about black men running round here flashing rocket launchers on Instagram?

Let's keep things in perspective, this could have been another thread about ignorant niggas doing ignorant nigga shit but it's not, and for that alone I'm good.

Pay attention to the bolded.

You didnt just say 'complain about a man being a father'...you said a BLACK man. That irritates me. Like we retarded or sumthn. Like we have an inherently lower bar.

Put it this way. You on a football team. You the RB. You make a 2 yard run...They stop the game. The crowd gives you a standing ovation. Give you the game ball. Ask you to make a speech.

Thats not no fukin compliment. Thats patronizing. Its shows they dont expect much from you.

Fair enough but it is what it is, I specified him being black because it's the antithesis of the stereotype that folks like to perpetuate of black men being shitty or routinely absent fathers. If that man were white we wouldn't be having this discussion but we still shouldn't be having it, did you not see some of the racist comments hurled at dude? People telling him to go back to selling drugs and bootleg rap CDs? You think they talk to white folks like that?

I'm tired of social media working against black folks, here is one time where it's actually showing us in a good light, there's no reason to complain.

It aint a stereotype if its true. He's still the minority. That 1 pic aint reversin anything. Black men as fathers still need to do better. I guess im just not PC enough to be overly enthused Lol

I have no problem admitting ugly truths...and the ugly truth is unles you are living in the same home with your child you not doin it right. Blunt, right?

Sorry i refuse to say a ngga who buys his kids all the shyt needed, gets along with the bm, and sees him every weekend, etc, is 'holdin it down as a father'. But thats what we think! That to us is the new definiton of good father! Am I lyin?

 

[VIBE]

self hate smh

 

[The Lonious Monk]

You people are the missing the point.

The real problem here is the negativity he got from posting those pictures. Niggas just had a thread supporting how black statisics are better and how that shit was GOAT, but a picture of a brother being proof of those numbers gets shitted on?

That picture is innocent and harmless as fuck. Anybody not being supportive of this simple picture is contributing to the problems we're facing.

Ehhh that's nothing really. Everything posted on the internet will get some bad responses. That's just the nature of the net. He said it was the minority as far as responses he received so it's all good.

i see where you are coming from. i do.

but i look at it like we need to give props on those that do because we are fighting an image placed on all of us because of those that don't.

im not saying you dont have a right to feel how you feel, but you cant blame a man for being proud of his family and being glad he is able to provide and having the mental capacity to want to do right.

It's a big deal to birds who got left raising their niglets alone...

My husband can be more doting on my son than me at times, especially during my semesters.

I don't give a good god damn about the race of his wife & neither should you. Fuckin weirdos.

Real fathers do this shit everyday.

I see where yall comin from. I can begrudgingly accept that. I guess my resentment is more toward the fact we shouldnt have to be doin this (applauding it).

There's sooo many examples of patronizing that I see that i dont think others see. I come across it a lot at my job thats predominantly white folk.

Imo it should boil any black man's blood to be given xtra credit for somehting others do routinely.

Like what if u came to work on time for a week straight so they gave u an award? Lol u feel me?...

Naw, he just does it. He's too busy enjoying his son's company to talk about it. Those two are thick as thieves, lol. It's funny as hell to eavesdrop on their conversations. My husband will be sitting there giving him real life lessons & my son will be staring like 0_0 just taking it all in, lol.

But there's sooooooo many of your black brethren not doing their part though. It's slowly getting better in our community but I know that growing up you were hard pressed to see black kids with involved dads in the picture. It was always mama & granny standing in place of dad. Thats why involved black fathers stand out.

Nobody's discounting your efforts as a father. But I understand your frustration though. The doctors at my pediatrician look at my husband funny when he can recite all of my son's medical info...like he's not expected to know that type of stuff.

i do...i actually hate being called a good father. now while i will say thank you it does get me a bit angry because again..even with the compliment you negative took precedence..

but i also dont like when i speak about my kids an people try to turn it into wanting credit...i just like talking about them.

It's a big deal to birds who got left raising their niglets alone...

My husband can be more doting on my son than me at times, especially during my semesters.

I don't give a good god damn about the race of his wife & neither should you. Fuckin weirdos.

im not asking does he brag...but i am sure he talks about his kid.

whether it be to a co-worker, you or his family, at some point you will speak about your kids especially if hes that close to him.

point im trying to make it guys talk about they kids without wanting props for it. so men dont share kid stories now? it can be as simple as saying

your dude- cuz, my lil man shit up his diaper as soon as i changed it. he laughed like it was funny.

your dudes homie- man, i hate when they do that. using up all the diapers an shit.

then they both laugh.

just general man to man talk. no need for anything more.

 

[zombie]

any good this man is doing does not benefit black people. this nigga is married to a fucking chink. he's not part of the community.

I feel you 100% on what you are saying.

That man is doing what any responsible dad ( no matter their race, religion or etc.) is supposed to do and I feel some folks (especially non black one's) are applauding him condescendingly because of stupid notions they have of how all black men are.

I understand the few people who might not think it is offensive and could be coming from a good place just pointing out what they feel is a commendable thing he is doing but like @SJ2 pointed out. Has the opinion or thought process of black men fell so low within our own community that his normal actions is something to be supremely lauded? If so that is really sad

 

[2stepz_ahead]

it was my reality in my old hood.

it was niggas walking past they dads like they was strangers cause they dad never took an interest even after paternity.

niggas dads taking time teaching them about the dope game but never took they kids to school an don't know one teacher.

a nigga more worried about how he looks going up to the school than why hes going to the school.

niggas braggin about having 8 kids and aint got a picture of any of them and dont know they birthday or when he last saw them.

thats what i grew up in

 

[kzzl]

any good this man is doing does not benefit black people. this nigga is married to a fucking chink. he's not part of the community.

The man took the effort to put people on blast for their racist remarks. He stood up for himself and black men in that article. Chances are his daughters, having this positive black man raising them, are in turn going to be prone to procreating with, if not only, black men in the future. He's one of many examples our community can benefit from when addressing the ignorance.

Frankly, marrying a woman that has your back is not enough to make me cast a brother out. She obviously did something no other woman was doing for him to choose her. A nigga that married a chink taking up for black men is not sell out behavior. Dude ain't did anything to show he deserves the back lash from his own.

The black community is made up of BLACK FAMILIES. black families consists of black men, black women and black childen. Not black men, chink women and mix breed kids. This man is a bad example he's not really part of the community anymore he does not have a black family our concerns and his will diverge. The message to black women is bad. All the good men marry outside the race which in turn is bad for black men because images like THIS feeds inferiority complexes ABOUT our women to our men. The women pick up on this and the spiral continues.

Stop embracing these niggas they are damaging us in ways that most of us refuse to feel.

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

I had a bird last year applaud her baby daddy on what a good father he is just because the nigga bought their kids some shoes. LOL. I was like "But that's what he's supposed to do." Shit's crazy.
