One Response for "CNN SPECIAL: DJ DRAMA TALKS ABOUT HOW PRESIDENT OBAMA INSPIRED HIM!(VIDEO)"
What I’ve failed to realize is why so many people are using Pres Obama as a crutch to their lame excuses. There is no reason for any man not to be a “good” father to their kids; they didn’t ask to be here.
So I assume DJ Drama was a deadbeat, a shithead father? He neglected his kids and treated their mother like trash? So what now? You now throw them a check and still treat their mother like trash?
It’s sad that men are wanting props and giving props to Obama for doing something that they’re suppose to do as men. I lost all respect for this dude and some of the people on the panel. I feel offended and insulted as a struggling single father.
I take it that more African Americas are going to start getting married, instead of just creating baby mothers? If so, why did it take Obama to do this? Obama inspired Farrah Gray to all the sudeen wanting to be married and have kids? Like really, are you serious? Mind you , this was a man that didn’t want to get married and procreate to continue his legacy. What did he want before?
But all the sudden, people are having life changing moments due to a man that sitting in DC in which no one can get within his vision.
SMH @ a grown man being a role model to another grown man. I thought role models are people you know, and have had a personal effect on your life.
People we need to wake up. Stand up and take accountability for your actions. Be what Allah has blessed us to be.
