Default Is it true that Fathers Day is not really celebrated by African Americans?

You seem surprised that those that responded are as dumb as a sack of
hammers.

But even you missed the point.

Black families?

That's hillarious.

To have a family, a real family - you need a father. And in any given
black household, what you will usually not find is - a father (or -
"the" father).

Hence the idea that "Father's Day" in the African American community is
a strange concept.

vile aspersions


Hey, don't shoot the messenger. Go look up the numbers for yourself.

There is a sizeable portion of the black american community where the
father is not in evidence, and a growing portion of the American white
community where the same is true. There is also a very sizeable
American Black community where the fother is VERY present, and
contributes significantly to the family dynamic, and the welfare and
education of his children.
Sadly there is a smaller and smaller part of the white community where
this is true.
