    In this episode of The Argument, Christopher explores the often misunderstood narrative surrounding Black fatherhood. Tracing its roots back to the controversial 1965 Moynihan Report, he highlights the societal factors that have resulted in misconceptions about Black fathers being absent from their children's lives. Using statistical data, he debunks these misconceptions, pointing out that many Black fathers, even if non-residential, engage actively in their kids' lives. The episode features a personal account of a Black father battling systemic obstacles to be present in his child's life, a situation common to many. Christopher also discusses the role of mass incarceration in perpetuating these issues and suggests policy reforms, community support, and positive media representation to address these systemic barriers. The episode ends by acknowledging the efforts of Black fathers and calls for a more informed understanding of the issue.

  • Why Is It Easier to Put Fathers on Child Support Than to Co-Parent?

    Why Is It Easier to Put Fathers on Child Support Than to Co-Parent?
    Sep 14 2024
    In the recent episode of 'The Argument' hosted by Christopher, the subject of child support versus co-parenting was thoroughly explored. Initial discussion was geared towards the simplicity of legal structures which favor straightforward financial obligations over shared parenting responsibilities. The episode further discussed how entrenched traditional gender roles contribute to the current bias in custody and support decisions. Communication barriers were also highlighted as a crucial factor as co-parenting requires constant, open, yet sometimes difficult conversations. The script brought to light the legal system's focus on financial stability and a lack of support for co-parenting solutions, stressing the need for tools that help build and maintain co-parenting arrangements. Conclusively, Christopher prompted listeners to consider the undeniable benefits co-parenting could provide beyond mere financial support, thereby urging the need for reforms in our legal systems that can foster better co-parenting arrangements.
