Don't hold your breath waiting for it

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Remember when barry, in a rare moment of clarity, took black "baby fathers" to task? "I'd like to cut his nuts off" was the response from Jesse Jackson.

Race-baiters are in NO way interested in 2-parent child rearing. Antithetical to keeping the slaves on the plantation.

I'm no fan of Michelle Obama, but in my heart I really don't think she intended to insult divorced fathers, or anyone else aside from Trump and his Administration. I think it was just an erroneous and unfair perception that many people have still today, about divorced fathers. In that light I can forgive her for being normal.

I say that as a divorced father that fought long and hard to get and maintain extensive involvement and actual living time with my son, well beyond most physical custody arrangements. But like many others, Michelle Obama is probably not as familiar with fathers like myself and the growing number of other dads who love their children and are willing to do whatever it takes for their kid's best welfare.

I will go so far as to say I'm glad someone is making an issue about her comment though, because there are still too many people who, while not intending to be, are biased negatively towards divorced fathers, and simply assume that mothers are the only suitable parent for children to live with.

I hope this helps perceptions to change common thinking to recognize the reality that fathers are just as capable of raising children alone, as mothers are.

GBU all,

Gavin
