This image of a black family decked out in their Incredibles costumes brought tears to my eyes. Yes, 70% of black families are fatherless, but there are millions of single moms out there doing an incredible job raising their children.

This cute video is making the rounds on social media. The video shows a doting dad teaching his biracial toddler what to expect from a real man when she grows up.
Unfortunately, reality is the harshest teacher — as the little girl will soon find out when she begins dating boys who were raised by today’s single moms.
Watch the video after the break.
One of my loyal readers was outraged by a remark made by rapper Tyga in an interview with VIBE magazine.
My reader writes: “Sandra – please check Tyga for what he said about the black family and black women in VIBE.”
Comedian and philanthropist Bill Cosby says there are some serious issues affecting black America and he knows how to solve them.
In an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon, Cosby, 76, said black women are the majority head of households, and he wants to see more black men taking responsibility for their sons.
“I think it has to come from the universities,” he said. “I think, women, strongly because when you see 70 percent, in research, that says they are the leaders of the household, what we need is for people to realize I want to raise my kid. I want to go back and get my three kids. I want to take on that responsibility. I want to love my children.”
Cosby also criticized “no-gross” who don’t provide solutions but are quick to blame him for focusing on the problems in the black community.
