Got told by fellow black people that I'm wrong for marrying a white woman and my children will suffer because I'm a "coon."

I'm so over this garbage.

My family is a sign of progress. I'm sorry that you want to go backwards and somehow fight for equality at the same time.
In 2018 there were over 4 million single parent black households.

But yeah, let's disown the ones trying to do things differently and call them coons.

The ones who walk out on their families get to be "black" though.

That makes us look so stupid.
And for reference. The people I am directing the second tweet in this thread to were defending a dead beat father.

That is why I brought that statistic and point up.
Thank you so much for all the support. In the end, love will always win over hate

I know we can leave this place better than we found it
