I'm a black man raised by a single mother and I still laugh when I see that sub mentioned. It's funny and sad because it's often true.

You could also point out that a trueblackfathers sub was needed because the coontown people created a blackfathers sub as a racist joke to promote more hatred.

trueblackfathers was created to distort reality and create a rosy view of the black male problem in the US. Studies show that 1 in 3 black males[1] will go to prison in their lifetime. I love how people scream "hate" when confronted with an uncomfortable reality.

Because easily offended individuals—i.e., the ones crying for censorship—are upset by facts? Over 70% of blacks are born into fatherless homes.

You might as well try to argue the moon is made of cheese.

I'm on mobile and can't see if anyone else replied yet, but that tasteless blackfathers joke sub predates the coontown community.
