Twitter War: Azealia Banks Vs. Wale Another day, another vitriolic twitter rant from Azealia Banks . The angry rapper has had her fair share of public spats with other celebs on social media, but recently began apologizing for some of her past outbursts . But that all ended earlier this afternoon when rapper Wale stepped in to give his two cents on some of Azealia’s opinions on Black men and their lack of love and protection over Black women. It all began when Azealia was once again ruminating on why it is that Black men never seem to want to step in and defend her when she’s “attacked.” Wale chimed in suggesting that Azealia is some scary territory to defend… …and it all went tumbling downhill from there. Azealia and Wale went at each other for over an hour over Black men’s lack of appreciation for Black women, and the preferences for the affections of other races that come about because of it. Of course, Azealia minced NO words when expressing how she felt about it all. Hit the flip for more… Twitter

What baby daddy drama ? Black Fathers Are Just As Involved With Their Kids As Other Races Via LA Times reports: Defying enduring stereotypes about black fatherhood, a federal survey of American parents shows that by most measures, black fathers who live with their children are just as involved as other dads who live with their kids — or more so. For instance, among fathers who lived with young children, 70% of black dads said they bathed, diapered or dressed those kids every day, compared with 60% of white fathers and 45% of Latino fathers, according to a report released Friday by the National Center for Health Statistics. Nearly 35% of black fathers who lived with their young children said they read to them daily, compared with 30% of white dads and 22% of Latino dads. The report was based on a federal survey that included more than 3,900 fathers between 2006 and 2010 — a trove of data seen as the gold standard for studying fatherhood in the United States. In many cases, the differences between black fathers and those of other races were not statistically significant, researchers said. The findings echo earlier studies that counter simple stereotypes characterizing black fathers as missing in action. When it comes to fathers who live with their kids, “blacks look a lot like everyone else,” said Gretchen Livingston, a senior researcher at the Pew Research Center who has previously studied the topic. And in light of the negative stereotypes about black fathers, “that is a story in itself.” “People think they don’t care, but we know they do,” said Joseph Jones, president of the Center for Urban Families, a Baltimore advocacy group that works with African American fathers. “We see how dads are fighting against the odds to be engaged in the lives of their children.” Sit down haters! Black dads are taking care of their responsibilities like any other race!
