If this book were about a football game, instead of an ordinary life well lived, we would read thirty chapters where your favorite team is two points behind in the fourth quarter with forty five seconds left on the play clock. James is the quarterback and executes a play that produces the winning score with honor and dignity every time. His life is a complex tapestry woven with threads of racism, poverty, alcoholism, bravery, illiteracy, tension, paternal rejection, sexual exploitation, patient endurance, domestic violence and a strong faith in God. The challenges he faces would have caused men of lesser faith to find solutions deeply rooted in violence, hate, alcohol and disregard for humanity and the sacredness of life. James has invited you into the thoughts, feelings, successes, and failures of his life in an intimate and honest presentation. You will be honored by his honesty, and humbled by his courage and determination. There are enough struggles in this personal history to deter the brave but not enough to stop the honored bravery of someone who knows God. Black Dad-White Dad choreographs the life of black kid growing up in Mississippi as he transitioned from sharecropper status to urban life, from illiteracy to education in the forties and fifties. James does what so many think we may want to do in our life. He not only asks the questions but searches for the answers. One might say he should be mad at the world, but he is not. He does not let his life experiences be an excuse or the answer but uses each challenge and blessing as a welcome mat to the next chapter of his life.

After the deaths of his parents in 1909, Martin A. Bernot leaves Meade, Kansas. His tour of duty with the Merchant Marines leads him to Pennsylvania. Timothy L. Blanche grows up in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, and raises his family during The Depression working as a train engineer at a steel mill. His eldest son Francis meets Martin’s daughter, Camille, in high school. While in the Coast Guard, Franny receives the Navy Silver Cross for valor, marries Camille, becomes a father of twins, but he is soon a widower. His journey through two more marriages is laced with the internal struggles of his families. He faces their problems with addiction, psychosis, illness, adoption, and religion. His tests of faith are often, but his endurance, courage, and honor buoy him through the uncertainties. This is the success story of a dysfunctional family. It is also the story of a short life, but one full of small and large miracles.

Common stereotypes portray black fathers as being largely absent from their families. Yet while black fathers are less likely than white and Hispanic fathers to marry their child's mother, many continue to parent through cohabitation and visitation, providing caretaking, financial, and other in-kind support. This volume captures the meaning and practice of black fatherhood in its many manifestations, exploring two-parent families, cohabitation, single custodial fathering, stepfathering, noncustodial visitation, and parenting by extended family members and friends. Contributors examine ways that black men perceive and decipher their parenting responsibilities, paying careful attention to psychosocial, economic, and political factors that affect the ability to parent. Chapters compare the diversity of African American fatherhood with negative portrayals in politics, academia, and literature and, through qualitative analysis and original profiles, illustrate the struggle and intent of many black fathers to be responsible caregivers. This collection also includes interviews with daughters of absent fathers and concludes with the effects of certain policy decisions on responsible parenting.

Part I provides a historical overview of African descended fathers including their strengths and shortcomings over the years. Next, contributors share their personal stories including one from a communal father working with underserved youth and two others that highlight the impact of absent fathers. Then, the research on father-daughter relationships is examined including the impact of father absence on daughters and on gender identity. This section concludes with a discussion of serving adolescents in the foster care system. Part II focuses on the importance of a two-parent home, communal fathering, and equalitarian households. Cultural implications and barriers to relationships are also explored. This section concludes with a discussion of the struggles Black men face with role definitions. The book concludes with a discussion of the impact of adoption and health issues on Black fathers and their children, and the need for more effective therapeutic interventions that include a perspective centered in the traditions and cultures of Afrika in learning to become a father. The final chapter offers an intervention model to aid in fatherhood. An ideal supplementary text for courses on fathers and fathering, introduction to the family, parenting, African American families/men, men and masculinity, Black studies, race and ethnic relations, and family issues taught in a variety of departments, the book also appeals to social service providers, policy makers, and clergy who work with community institutions.

Fatherhood is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, and it becomes even tougher when one must combat harmful stereotypes. In his work, Khalid Akil White actively challenges the negative stereotype of the "Black Father." White is both a father himself and a professor of African American studies. With these dual qualifications, he is the perfect candidate to combine personal stories with cultural context. White holds the image of the "irresponsible Black man" up to the light and fully engages with it. His work is a tender, moving argument against the stereotype of the absentee Father. The men interviewed are certainly not absent. Instead, they have used the stereotype as a way to structure their own stories about the challenges of Fatherhood. Dr. Steven Millner discusses his drive to continue his family's legacy of cohesiveness while Eric Jay Handy recalls an encounter with his own father and its impact on his parenting style. Dr. Sydney Sukuta compares cultural expectations of Fatherhood in Zimbabwe to those of America. Jamal Bey challenges traditional gender roles as a stay-at-home dad. These men and others deepen the social discourse surrounding Black Fatherhood and regale readers with stories of both struggle and triumph.

Have you ever heard the sayings, "Black Men Are Not Present in Their Kids' Lives"? The Increasing Number of Single-Parent Homes is Exclusively A Black Problem? Black Fathers Are An Anomaly? If so, Black Fathers Are Real: We Do Exist is the book for you. This classic children's book conveys the importance of fathers in lives of their children. Narrated by Camren J. McRae, he specifically highlights Black Fathers, making known to the world that they do exist. Black Fathers are hardworking, educated, loving men who wants the best for their children. this book shines a light through on Black Fatherhood through Camren's eyes, the views from a child about his hero. According to the National Health Statistics Report, Fathers' involvement in their children's lives has been shown to have a positive effect on children and their well-being in many areas. for example, on increasing the chances of academic success (2 out of 3) and in reducing the chances of delinquency and substance abuse. (4 out of 6). According to a CNN report, statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that "children under the age of 5: Black Fathers prepared and/or ate meals more with their children vs their white and Hispanic counterparts. Children 5 through 18: Black Fathers took children to and from activities daily more compared to their white and Hispanic counterpart's. Children 5 through 18: Black Fathers also helped their kids with homework more than their white and Hispanic counterparts." (Source cited: Aaron Paxton Arnold. "dispelling the myths about black fathers," http: //www.cnn.com/2015/07/20/opinions/arnold-black-fathers/index.html) In an effort to educate, inspire, motivate, and captivate the audience, Black Fathers Are Real: We Do Exist is a great depiction of day to day interactions with a black father. it involves lessons learned, the culture, and the inspiration Camren receives, which is received by millions of African American children.
