        He spoke a truth about the lack of men in the homes helping to rais a family is missing! And as a result mothers are trying to raise men with the absence of strength, direction and discipline from the structured home of a father and mother!!! He was on point!

        What did the Reverend say that was false? That there is a high rate of black on black crime? That it is hard for single mothers to raise boys? That God made a man and a woman? Black people need to respect themselves and each other. All true. Who is the false prophet now?

        Ugh. What a terrible delivery of SOME valid points. I get what he was trying to say and there is some truth to the underlying messages, but his choice of words and positioning were offensive to many and his points were lost. What a missed opportunity! #ArethaHomegoing

        He spoke truth. I’m sorry that is a foreign concept to the Left and the media. Sometimes when you speak the truth you have to risk the possibility of maybe offending some people. I will always side with truth.

        Common sense thinking from a man of values, direction, peace and truth. It's a shame some are afraid of what could be a solution to a serious issue.
