If logic and the rational acceptance of responsibility are masculine traits, shouldn't these failures be the responsibility of ... men? It seems to me a large part of the blame can be laid at the feet of men who are unwilling and unable to lead themselves much less lead a family - women and children - which is where the real breakdown has occurred.
If we're going to talk about accountability, let's start where it should start. With us. Men.
At some point, this joker should have decided that he didn't want to play into this white supremacist system that wants to institutionalize him. For the express purpose of breaking down the Black family by taking away that logical, accountable, protective, and corrective guidance that every family needs.
But, you can't guide anybody if you can't guide yourself. Can't keep yourself out of trouble.
It's easy to blame women for being female - protective of their children no matter what. However, there was a man involved in bringing that guy into the world too. At some point, the men in his life failed him. Ultimately, he failed himself. By not being logical ... and accountable ... to himself.
I'm not saying women are perfect and share no blame or responsibility for themselves or our community. I'm just saying placing blame doesn't help. The only thing we can control is ourselves and many of us men are doing a poor job of that.
