Adventures In black Family Life

If we know anything, we know just how powerful and sacred the bonds of family are in the black community.

First up, let’s take a look at this heart-warming story of a black father teaching his son the value of good sportsmanship…..

Wisconsin parent storms field during youth football game and trips 9-year-old kid in wild scene

Last Saturday in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, a parent rushed the field during a U-10 football game and tripped a 9-year-old kid who was on his way to scoring a touchdown. The kid was running toward the pylon when the parent ran onto the field and stuck his leg out, taking out the runner.

The man who tripped the kid was found by Mount Pleasant police and was given a citation for disorderly conduct, according to FOX 6. He reportedly admitted he was wrong and was cooperative with authorities. The tripped player’s coach, Channing Schultz, said the man intended to hurt the kid.

I’ll say it again, the only thing worse than a black kid growing up without his father is growing up with his father.

Speaking of black fathers teaching their black sons….

Father-son duo accused of running violent West Side narcotics, sex trade operation

A father and son teamed up to operate a violent narcotics and sex trade operation from a West Side basement, using beatings, threats, and extortion to control victims, prosecutors say.

Dionte Young,52, and his son, Creshon Corbin, 31, badly beat multiple people, held one man captive for six days, and forced him to turn over tens of thousands of dollars, prosecutors said. Another woman who worked for the pair was beaten with a metal pole because she had not paid enough of the money she earned, according to the allegations.

Prosecutors described the “heinous behavior” in a recent detention petition for Corbin, who identified Young as his father and referred to Young as a “pimp,” according to the filing.

Different last names but at least they know each other. The black family business model has fallen on hard times since Sanford & Son.

A local yokel uncle of the year candidate…

Man pleads guilty to fatally shooting teen niece

When (Davion) Vaughn-Foster spoke to police the day after the shooting, he said he went into the room to comfort his niece, who was having problems with people at school, according to court documents. He saw the teal-colored handgun on a stand at the end of the bed.

After telling her she did not need to have a gun in her room, Vaughn-Foster told police he then picked up the gun, removed the magazine, and racked the slide, insisting no round was in the chamber and the magazine was removed before racking the gun.

Vaughn-Foster said that when he reached over to set the gun on the dresser, the gun went off. Realizing she was shot in the head, he said he yelled for someone to call 911 and started CPR.

When the autopsy showed the gunshot wound was straight on, the coroner’s office requested a reenactment video. While recording the video with Vaughn-Foster, a detective said he observed that when Vaughn-Foster was manipulating the gun, it was pointed directly at the victim.

While this sounds plausible, I also have to wonder what he was actually doing in his niece’s bedroom (her name was Myuanna Foster-Juarez) because it certainly sounds plausible that he went in there for something else, she objected and he shot her right in the head. The maximum he can get is 3 years.

That bedrock of the black community, the black family, never fails to live down to the worst (aka most accurate) stereotypes.
