EXTRA SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO BLACK FATHERS: YOU DESERVE THIS!
Happy Father's Day to fathers of ALL nationalities.
The following is a special tribute to Black Fathers. If you know a Black Father who deserves to be celebrated, please share this message with him.
This year, Black Fathers, I salute you. Our family would not exist and cannot stand without you. You are our children's teachers. It is your wisdom our sons need to become men of honor, integrity, and strength. It is your sincerity and insight our daughters need to protect their purity and innocence. You are our foundation. It is your judgment that we need to help us make more logical decisions rather than emotional ones.
Black Fathers you have paved the way for us in so many ways. It was a Black Father (Frederick Douglass) who put his own freedom at risk by becoming an outspoken advocate of anti-slavery in an endless fight for our family. It was a Black Father (Brother Malcolm X) who suffered for reminding us that our ancestors were real kings and queens who, by the way, left us an inheritance that, if claimed today, would restore Black Fathers to their rightful seat of kingship.
It was a Black Father (The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) who traded his life for our right to be treated fairly in a country, that once upon a time, did not acknowledge us as members of the human race. And it was a Black Father (President Barack Obama) who proved that the sacrifices he's made and the sacrifices of the ones before him were not in vain when he became the first Black President of the United States of America!
You have endured so much in your lives- past and present, Black Fathers, and in spite of the adversity and misfortune you are faced with daily, you have never let your crown fall. You have managed to keep your head held high. You are the kings. We are the queens. Our children are the princes and princesses. Together we stand as members of the royal family, but divided we cannot stand at all.
You are majestic and so worthy of honor and respect. As society would have it Father's day is just one day out of the year, but it is actually a year 'round event. Black fathers everywhere, I salute you today, tomorrow, and always.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
Love eternally-Sheba

I don't know because he stays in the street
