I saw these jokes and I felt it necessary to respond. We see enough that puts down black (People of African descent)people all the time. This joke though very innocent, perpetuates the myth that African men are not good husbands/fathers etc. and do not even aspire to be one. As an African I know this is not true, we have the bad apples, and many I might add, but so do other races. It is just that there are many more odds against a black man in the global arena than any other race. Good day to all you hard working, respectful, responsible African husbands/fathers who take care of their businesses every day.
