Ive been noticing this. Since this post is about black folks, i can anecdotally say ive been seeing some great black fathers around that are around my age (30ish, we’ll say). Im thinking in particular of someone i know who said it straight, “i want to be the dad mine never was.” I wont say his kid is his world, bc hes not obsessive, we hardly talk about the kid, but he tells me thats all he wants to do with his free time: spend time with his young boy. Hes not the only one i see this in, but hes kinda who i always think of when this topic comes up.
