That is a private matter, and if you are doing right by your children, then you do not have to convince anyone, your actions will speak volumes. We'll talk about some of the responses I got when I asked some brothers what they mean whey they say that they do a good job taking care of their children.

I grew up on rap and R&B just like many other people in the community, but as I grew older, I started to look at our music  through a different lens. Our music incites a lack of respect for women and black men. It promotes drugs, violence, and sexual promiscuity. How do I explain our music, and I have to explain, because it's the only view most of the world has of us African Americas, not to mention when my kids ask for the meanings of: ho, hood rat, skank, trick, scalley wag, or any of the decriptive terms of endearment (what we call it in the hood) that we use to refer to women in our music (especially rap). That's the next show. Join us as we, once again, go deep into the community to explore our issues. 00:30:00Black BasicsnoRap music,Black music,Rythm and Blues,Rappers,R and B musicI grew up on rap and R&B just like many other people in the community, but as I grew older, I started to look at our music  through a different lens. Our musichttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/black-basics/2012/12/16/what-comes-first-for-our-children-sports-or-educationBlogshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/black-basics/2012/12/16/what-comes-first-for-our-children-sports-or-education/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/black-basics/2012/12/16/what-comes-first-for-our-children-sports-or-educationSun, 16 Dec 2012 23:00:00 GMTWhat Comes First for our Children, Sports or Education?So many of our children are born to young parents, and one of the most popular gifts we have waiting for them is the empty promise to become a professional athlete. Listen guys, between professional baseball, football, and basketball, there are about 3200 professional athletes, out of 300 million Americans. Do the math on the odds of your children becoming professional athletes. I am not saying that becoming a professional athlete can't happen, but I am saying play toward the odds, and put your money where it has the best chance to pay off, education. There are many fields in which children can be exposed to improve there chances at success. For example; There are many types of engineering programs, many different avenues to take in the medical field, all types of law, don't get me started on business, accounting, marketing, advertising, sales (not Amway or multi-level marketing, or pyramids), all types of trades (plummbing, truck driving), this list can go on forever. I will discuss how to get children involved in realistic professions, and if the sports thing happens for your child, then by all means take advantage. My point is, don't let the sports route be your primary route to success, let it be your back up, if that.. 00:30:00Black BasicsnoBlack sports,Black athletes,Black education,Children and sports,Child athletesSo many of our children are born to young parents, and one of the most popular gifts we have waiting for them is the empty promise to become a professional athlhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/black-basics/2012/12/09/best-time-to-have-children-with-the-men-of-our-community-1Blogshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/black-basics/2012/12/09/best-time-to-have-children-with-the-men-of-our-community-1/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/black-basics/2012/12/09/best-time-to-have-children-with-the-men-of-our-community-1Sun, 09 Dec 2012 23:00:00 GMTBest time to have Children with the Men of our CommunityWe wrap up from last week and move on to the, "Best time, if any, to have Children with the Men of our Community."
