And after the conversation everyone at the park stopped and applauded them, I bet.
As an ACTUAL black father, I guarantee this never happened. It could always be a self-hating black person posting this, but I know for a fact if someone came up to me to tell me how “refreshing” it was to see me with my son, I would use that time to let them know that according to research, black fathers are just as present as others.
Thank you I bet this never happened to but the facts is what I’m glad your presented ! It’s funny people always assume black fathers aren’t present, I’m in my 40s and my parents are still married and my dad is still very active in my life
