My Dear Brothers,
Although I have been a member of this organization for over 10 yrs., it is very evident that we are a social organization that would extend it's relationship after one's Degree seeking has been accomplished. But I write to you in hopes that my comment will motivate as many of you as possible.
As a black man & father is painfully clear that there are specific laws that are in place to keep us from being involved in our childrens lives. From false allegations of domestic violence to paternity fraud, the courts do not listen to what we have to say and seem to favor the women at all times. These specific women that hide behind these laws and abuse them make it even harder for us, MEN, BLACK MEN to make a difference.
These laws feed the philosophy of self hate, giving up, accepting the less than & not trying which results in broken families, incarceration, early death, drug abuse and a host of other issues.
I understand that we are not an organization of activism. However, this organization was founded during an era in history where "Activism" was at it's greatest. Laws were written by men (Men/Women) and they can be
re-written. We have the resources needed to make a difference and by God my brothers, "STAND UP" and make a difference.
Join me and other fathers, not just black men, but men of all color who wish to make a difference in our childrens lives by fighting back with the "Revolutionary Reform of Fathers Rights" It is our God given right and it should be recognized and enforced. Get involved with your local level fathers rights organization. It is our God given right and it should be recognized and enforced. We must organize ourselves as well as get involved with the local level fathers rights organization.
Fraternally,
Aswad Smith
