A Companion Chat To "Becoming Jesus" | Mike & Chris

Fathers are important for helping their children see all they can be.  Often, good fathers can offer lessons in playfulness, care, support, courage and discipline.  Despite media portrayal of Black fathers, 70% of Black fathers who live with their children were most likely to have bathed, dressed, changed or helped their child with the toilet every day, compared with other groups. This involvement is important for many reasons, one of which is that data shows that children with involved fathers are at lower risk for developing disruptive behavior and mental health difficulties.  Even when a biological father isn’t present, the role can be filled by other men who care about the child — an important concept in Black culture.  Given the history of racism in the United States, some Black fathers may face disproportionate incarceration rates or have difficulty in obtaining jobs to provide for their families.  But such hardships are only part of the story of Black fatherhood.
