Fatherlessness In The Black Community Research Paper

EFFECTS OF FATHERLESSNESS IN BLACK COMMUNITIES:

The effects of an absent father on the black community is critical to understand the current state of Black America, the growth of a community, the incarceration rates, dropout rates of black children, poverty rates, etc. In the beginning, when a child is born, they don’t get the ability to choose who their parents are; children are simply born to two parents. This is the beginning of their lives, birth. Learning where the chain effect begins is how we understand the systematic oppression facing the community now. This project seeks to find out if the roots to problems within the black communities begins with the problem of fatherlessness. For example, does the rate of incarcerated black people

The WIllie Lynch letter (1712) was the foundation for destroying the black community and black existance. In this letter, the slave master compares black people to animals and explains how black people must be conditioned in order to be controlled for centuries. He goes on to say how the family must be stripped apart by separating the man from his wife and children and degraded to his lowest point so that the woman views him as weak and she (and the offspring) no longer need(s) him and resents

In the article, “The Causal Effects of Father Absence”, the authors McLanahan, Tech, and Schneider (2013) explain how many approaches and methods have been used to research how the absence of a father negatively impacts his children. They said how some of the methods and approaches included ‘omitted variable bias’, which cause the research results to be critiqued, but the approaches that were too biased were redesigned and more effective. The authors concluded that the effective approach results were that the absence of father negatively impacts the children social-emotional development, affects the male child more than the female, and has a larger effect when the absence occurs at the child's earlier years. The idea and concentration of fatherlessness and it’s affects on the male offspring is something to be studied and understood; this is essential because in studies, as stated before, male children are faced with more negative affects than that of
