This is not surprising. What this confirms is the destruction of the traditional family structure in America. Not just Black America. Our community however is inordinately affected. In my view this is what has over time contributed to the issues black men and women have in our communication and relationships with each other. There is no greater example for a child than a respectful, loving relationship between their parents. That relationship serves as a template for young boys and girls in setting their expectations and behaviors later in life. It is that relationship that can also heal many of the ills not just in our community, but others as well.
