Kind of unrealistic.

At last we have a film starring a black man as a single father. When can we have a film about black parents adopting a black alien from another planet called Krypton? It's only fair. Black people created comics. And books. And Superman. And writing. And reading. They deserve it!

There are quite a few black single fathers too.

What's your point?

[–] LiquidOcelot (2452) 4 years ago

It's a sad statistic.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

True, although it doesn't have anything to do with the stat I posted about the existence of black singe fathers. It's not unrealistic to show a black single father.

At least there are black fathers that stayed to make things right. Most just abandon and it's left to the mother to raise the child so props to those fathers that cared and tried to make things right for the better. Beats a life of crime.
