Not all kids in a fatherless home are fucked. Again, another sweeping generalization. Sure, the majority of anything can be one thing or another, but that doesn't mean that all of one thing is that way. I think based off of the way you word things, and the tone in your posts, causes you come off racist. If you are not racist, and do not want to come off that way, perhaps you might word your posts differently. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but to make a sweeping generalization of an entire race, well....that speaks for itself. Or, for example, when you speak about the "black kids/parents" you have on your b-ball team, and say so and so didn't come or do this or that, I think other people read that as racists, because not many people here would word it that way. It shouldn't matter what skin color they are. There are plenty of busy, slacker parents, of all races. I'm not trying to dig on you, I'm just saying I think the way you say things is why people assume you are racist.
