White people may not be able to say the N Word. But at least we can say "Hey dad."
Oh my, how dark of a statement... Why would you make that generalization about black people?
Hmm... I don't know why. Probably because black dads don't stick around very long when their partners have babies.
Using negative racial stereotypes is hurtful. Overgeneralizations like that do nothing to remedy the divide between races.
I'm not saying "All black dads abandon their family."
The way you worded the joke honestly did seem that way. But indeed, not all of them are like that and it's unfair to pin it on everyone. There are plenty of happy black families, and your neighbors could be one of them.
