Jesse Jackson said that Barack Obama was talking down to black males, but Obama has a good point: once you become a father, one should realize and take for responsibility for their child. They should pay child support, or be held accountable. I think Obama talks about real issues that affect real people. I know many single moms that fight really hard for child support. I also know many people who will do anything they can to get out of paying child support. They leave a job as soon as they're caught, and they have to pay. We owe it to our children to have fathers that are responsible and caring adults that make sure that they always can have food on their table, and clothes on their child as well as a roof over their head. I think Barack Obama would be more talking down if he said, "African American males should all get jobs and stop having kids."
As we all know, that's not a reality. Barack Obama speaks from reality, and the real question for our country is, "can we handle the truth?"
