I just looked up his wife. That alone tells me all I need to know about his credibility. And he wants to talk black families🙄Sir, bye ✌🏼

[@charlesirby1643]

I’m not sure who the man is married to is relative to the discussion. Secondly Byron Donald is a professional buck dancer but he did tell a half truths . Byron Donald did a terrible job of framing his argument. There were a plethora of issues of the black family structure. People framing the black family as together isn’t a real reflection of the black family since antebellum slavery through Jim Crow . Dubois book the Philadelphia Negro he encapsulated on the black family in Philadelphia. The high rate of children out of wedlock, high unemployment of black men which caused the deterioration of the family. Unfortunately most black Americans have no interest in reading on the black family during antebellum slavery and Jim Crow . The Negro Family by Edward Franklin Frazier an excellent read on the black family structure after the reconstruction era. Dr. Kenneth Clark the Dark Ghetto encapsulates on the pathology of some blacks living in urban cities and the propensity of women choosing to be single mothers.

[@misterkgb1]

💯 I remember when Michael Imhotep brought this subject up about black politicians married to white women and he was met with strong resistance from Roland. Some black people want to ignore the elephant in the room but reality always will prevail and expose.

The few black people that could vote (10-30% at the most since most black ppl were stuck in the south & couldnt vote) voted republican until the party became conservative & hostile to civil rights.

Excellent points! The Ku Klux Klan would not have approved of Byron's marriage and kids, let alone him looking at a white woman. Byron would have been hunted down, tortured, and lynched for looking at his wife by the klan as so many black men were in Florida. Byron should look at the movie Rosewood which occurred in the state of Florida stemming from a white woman's lies concerning her being raped by a fictitious black man. Byron needs to seriously just stop and not make any more comments on this matter. He completely disgraced himself!

I'm married to a white man, but i tell jy children to be PROUD of their black heritage. I go back to the one drop rule. They know our history, and embrace it. My oldest LOOKS WHITE, but &UNDERSTANDS she's black, no matter HOW she is seen to the world. She understands her mother and sister are seen differently than she and her mother.

[@kimberlywalker3970]

Exactly. You can be in an interracial marriage and be proud of your heritage. I'm not married to a white man, but I've dated a few. And they've shown me more respect than the black men I've been around. That's why I don't usually date black men. What makes me angry about this guy is that he uses these talking points to please his white base then tries to hide behind his race when his behind gets whipped. The sad thing is there are plenty of black men like him and they should be ashamed of themselves. The sad part is they're not. Hopefully, they won't have to learn what being black in America means the hard way.
