So I watched this video a while ago...ESPN discusses the "growing problem" of athletes having children out of wedlock. It is somewhat interesting. The piece on Travis Henry is the most ridiculous of them all...He has 9 kids with 9 different women. Now that it is 2009, I don't understand all these kids...These men keep talking about women trapping them and what not..Use contraception!! The worst part about this whole thing, is the "statistic" that they provide. According to this video, 71% of all African American babies are born out of wedlock, compared to 50% hispanic kids, and 23% of white kids. Although I tend to be weary of statistics, this one definitely shows the epidemic that is happening. It is sickening how the blame is always thrown back and forth between black men and women, but it is time that both parties took responsibility for what is occurring in our community. The video is 11 minutes, but try and watch the whole thing...it's ridiculous, but also sad. Until Next Time...
