Brother Denson, you're an interesting person. By chance are you a preacher? I'm asking because you spread these messages around the community sometimes without seeking input from others. Don't be offended, it's just an observation.
Now tell me, exactly what makes you an authority such that you feel qualified to give out the advice that you post and why should anyone take you seriously? We can't be too careful you know so it's important to ask. The last time we listened to someone and took them at face value, we ended up in shackles and on a boat taking a one-way trip to a foreign land.
What exactly is it that you think Black parents are doing well?
You suggest that we save more than we spend. Do you also have a recommendation on what we should save money for and the best financial instrument to put our money in?
What makes you so sure that Black parents don't get moody when times are hard? What exactly do you mean? Do you think we are inherently strong people? Do we internalize suffering and frustration and hold stress in better than people of the white race? Is this good for our mental and physical health? Did you know that Black women are suffering more and more these days from depression? And Black men...wow, what don't we know about what's happening to them in this society...high unemployment; majority in prison, struggling in relationships with women....we've heard the data. You think Black men/fathers are handling these situations well?
I've asked enough questions of you for now. I look forward to your answers.
