I hate seeing the "Happy Father's Day Mom!" posts on FB and IG. Mother's Da is in May and I am sure that you were celebrated and acknowledged, but Father's Day is a different story. It focuses on bad Dads and that is not the focus of the day. Save your personal stories for your home. I don't wanna see it or read about it on a day that I work hard for get to enjoy.

https://www.facebook.com/thepoweupshow

I'm not a fan of the facebook posts and all that that usually pop up on fathers day, but I don't have an issue with a kid giving their mom a card like this if it applies to their situation. I don't really see why this would bother anyone

"people... please refrain from gnr'ing me. im an avid lol'er and am completely fine wit the service."

"I’m just a dreamer,

What I bring to the table as a FATHER is not trivial. It's not something that can be replicated. To even insinuate that it is, is an insult to ALL fathers.

Are they stopping tv to have some "for you mom on fathers day" card giving ceremony or something?lol

Its a card

And yea being a father is not something that can't be replicated, but sometimes the dad just isn't there so now what?

If you wanna be mad at somebody be mad at the deadbeat dads that abandon their children. You're fortunate enough to have a mate to help you raise your child. There are plenty of parents that don't have that kind of support. There's nothing wrong with a kid acknowledging the hard work their mom has put in trying to fill that void.

Not to mention I would imagine that fathers day prolly sucks for a lot of kids (and moms) might as well find something to celebrate instead of sitting around being pissed off all day

This even existing is a problem. It effectively seals the lid on the whole "Black fathers are disposable" product that has been pushed on the general public for the past 50+ years..... You don't honor your mother by telling her she's a great Father. You don't even set children up to accept or believe that their mother IS fulfilling a fatherly role. That's essentially fortifying to the youth that "Yeah, it's cool to just write of your dad...he's a non factor really"

The day means nothing then. Celebrate mom on mother's day and K.I.M.

How about the dads that are barred from seeing their children by mothers that have ulterior motives or vindictive spirits? How about the dads that CAN'T be there because they're dead...is this how you honer their memory? So many ways to flip this...


>Not to mention I would imagine that fathers day prolly sucks

That's a very negative day to look at it. And the reality is that it shouldn't suck for a kid at all....if anything, it should serve to reaffirm to a child just how awesome their mother is.

Please stop

Its a damn card

People hardly even buy them shits anymore and the people that do aint putting THAT much thought into that raggedy ass card...that is if they even notice it.

The people that need/deserve it will get it and life will go on

Maybe you should take all this frustration/energy and use it for some good by spending some time with a kid that doesn't have a dad?

I'm not talking about the trifling moms. Most single moms (that aren't single moms by choice) don't want to do the shit alone...so do something if you feel that passionate about it

"I’m just a dreamer,

You obviously felt some kinda way about me not feeling it...
This a dialogue that needs to happen... but nope, we'd rather talk about trivial thangs.....smh.

I'm spending the day with MY kid.

My stance/opinion doesn't negate the weight that single moms carry or the greatness that they achieve by being a single parent. No clue why you'd even take it that way.....

I just find it kinda disturbing that you seem to be more concerned about a card than you are about the actual kids that don't have dads and the moms that are raising them alone

Bringing up "no good moms" was totally unnecessary. I'm sure you knew that I wasn't talking about those women.

I gave you a suggestion of what you could do about the situation if it bothers you so much, but of course you don't have time for that. So enjoy fathers day with YOUR child and good luck with sitting on the internet being worried about peoples situation that really have no bearing on your life.

The conversation that needs to be had isn't one about some card. It needs to be about kids that don't have dads and what WE can do collectively to help them...that is if you really care.

From the way you're talking this seems to be more about you than it is them...but guess what? You don't even have to worry because you will more than likely get a fathers day card, your wife won't have to bother with working multiple jobs and figuring out how squeeze in qt time with her kid because there are two of you. So everything's great we can move on

You wanna talk about trivial things...being bothered by a damn card that isn't even directed to you is as trivial as it gets. Do you know what goes into being a single parent? Shame on anyone that feels a way about a kid wanting to appreciate their parent and the sacrifices they have made for them. The point you're trying to make absolutely does negate the weight that single moms have to carry, but you clearly aren't seeing that which is fine.

And all of this goes for both single moms AND dads just in case anyone wants to try it

"You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do!" - Olin Miller

since that's the conversation we SHOULD be having. let's have it.

you start.

fuck you.

This is obviously something that resonates with him on a deep level

As a childless woman how the fuck are you telling him how he should deal with it?

Smhlol

>I just find it kinda disturbing that you seem to be more
>concerned about a card than you are about the actual kids that
>don't have dads and the moms that are raising them alone

My concern about a card doesn't negate my feelings about fatherless children. I don't believe that this card is a positive thing for a fatherless child to even have access to. The card does nothing to elevate or enhance the parental relationship that a fatherless child has. It only serves as another reminder that a child's parental situation is different and perhaps NOT as rewarding.

>Bringing up "no good moms" was totally unnecessary. I'm sure
>you knew that I wasn't talking about those women.

??wait what?

I don't have time for that at all. My time is dedicated to my child and my child alone. What's so hard about that? I have no shame in it at all.

>The conversation that needs to be had isn't one about some
>card. It needs to be about kids that don't have dads and what

LOL....the post is about the card yo. If you want to have that conversation, start a new post about it and we can go from there.

It's freaking FATHER'S DAY...it IS about me! lol... You're taking my stance as a personal attack on you...just like i'm taking the existence of this card as a personal attack at ME...so yeah...think on that.

It's Father's Day. Let US have OUR day. You taking it to a whole other level.

There are no cards like this for single dads.

Is that its easier to get upset at a card than it is to take an honest look at the circumstances that make it possible for such a thing exist.

I get how a Black man can see something like that and take it personal, but that doesn't take away from the fact that that card may speak to somebody else. Being upset that the card exists isn't going to do much about the circumstances that make it valid to some people...

You can stomp your feet to the point that the card doesn't exist and then what? The situation is still there...which one is worst?

The card doesn't create single parents or children that are affected by not having their father in their life. Sometimes we tend to hide behind the easier issue instead of addressing the real problem...that's what annoys me. For you to sit up here and make a big fuss about this and then make it seem like you only are concerned about how you (and other men) are viewed as a dad is a problem for me because I personally don't think like that or at least I try not to.

And to be honest I don't have an issue about you wanting your fathers day to be about you, but that changes once you start being concerned about how other people choose to celebrate the day. Imo you cant have it one way and just turn a blind eye to everything else...it just doesn't work like that

We can sit up here all day and worry about what ignorant people think about us, but doing that is sometimes a waste of time...especially when they already think that way about u. That card isn't telling an ignorant person anything that they didnt already think about you. Like I said before if you feel so strongly about the negative stereotypes that are out there regarding Black men then do more to show that all Black men aren't like that. Why that suggestion is being viewed as a bad thing idk...we spend so much time bringing attention to the bad..why not counter that or better yet not bring any additional attention to it all and focus on doing more good?

A child that you don't even know isn't taking anything away from your fathers day by giving this to their mom. That's all im saying.

I think the card's existence is yet another example of blatant capitalizing off of the ills in our community...and our American society at large really. On a day that's designated to shine a spotlight on Fathers; and celebrate Fathers; why does there need to be a product that highlights the plight of the single mom?

Of course it's not. I don't expect it to.

>is worst?

They are equally detrimental. The card brings nothing to the table for generating a wholly positive dialogue or solution.

The card is a means for a large corporation to profit off of a major issue. That's a problem. Being that it's marketed directly TO Black people is what boils my blood the most about it. I've seen other fcked cards from Mahogany too....the whole line leaves a sour taste in my mouth honestly....but that's a whole other post.

>And to be honest I don't have an issue about you wanting your
>fathers day to be about you, but that changes once you start
>being concerned about how other people choose to celebrate the

Maybe that's where the confusion is surfacing...the card is there...if someone is moved to buy it and give it to their moms, then that someone is likely a child. I'd hope that the responsible mother would use it as an opportunity to dialogue and explain to their child that while they may be the BOMB mother and PARENT in general, they are not a father. And yeah, that's def. my personal stance...and I totally respect your personal stance on it too.

>We can sit up here all day and worry about what ignorant

I couldn't care less about what anyone outside of US thinks about US. Really...this is something I feel like WE need to look at ourselves and decide that WE don't want to continue to allow these corporations to profit off of our ills. Just ONE day..one day....as a Black father...i'd enjoy being celebrated....without a reminder that "Yeah, you're doing your duty FLUIDJ...but a LOTTA brothers aren't."

>A child that you don't even know isn't taking anything away
>from your fathers day by giving this to their mom. That's all

I get that, and I agree, it isn't taking anything away from my Father's day...

But there are people who genuinely feel this way about their moms who were their everything's. That's why cards like this exist. That's why posts like this. One up.

Then every year it's people crying about it. If. Person feels their mom is a fucking duck- that's their business- not mine.

Is there a Mother's Day already? Sure

But if. A person feels this way about their mom who am I to get mad. Why do I care?

"though time has passed, im still the future" (c) black thought

but they're not fathers. no more than a single father 'deserves' to be honored on Mother's Day.

fuck you.

and i decide who is honored and who is not. and i say mom's ain't fathers and don't get honors on Father's Day.

so there.

and plus i think the kid's energy is better directed at the father figures in his/her life - big brother(s), older cousin(s), uncle(s), grandfather(s), neighbor(s), teacher(s), juvenile parole officer(s), et al. as King i decree they should send those men a card instead of buying some tacky-ass card for mom on Father's Day.

My webcomic has a page: www.facebook.com/watchyourheadcomic

I was raised by a single mother but she was NOT a Dad. She was aMom and taught me as well as a Mom could. I did not get the man stuff I think I needed from her because she is not a nam. I needed a Dad. I love my Mom and she was great to raise 3 of us *by herself (she had boyfriends and husbands but we still had no Dad and no male role models lol).

I respect women for everythingnthey do and everything they give to their children, but Moms are Moms and Dads are Dads.

If something happened with my wife and I had to raise my son alone, he better not ever give me a Mother's Day card.

I wonder, for all the Dads I know raising their kids alone, do they want Mother's day cards? Hmmm.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I don't understand how folks can be offended by something that was created to acknowledge the hard work a single parent does when there should two parents.

Be mad at the deadbeat dad that skipped out on their kid, don't be mad that hallmark found a way to capitalize on what is a very real issue.

Did we see the reverse of this card in MAY

Lets not trivialize things.

Let the Dads have their day as well. Shit gahdamn, my dad raised me from when I 11 to I moved out...I refuse to tell him Happy Mothers Day
