This headline is so obviously sensationalised. Why not lead with Mr Cameron's support for ending discrimination and prejudice? This makes it sound like Mr Cameron and the Tories are simply dumping on black fathers with no helpful solutions to offer.

I realy do like this squable of words. Look, just because you don't like a certain politician, doesn't mean you attack them. This particular issue is a matter of fact so the real discussion point and question is how we, politicians and citizens alike, deal with it.

It's about time more so-called leaders started telling things as they really are - whether the fathers (and mothers) be black, white or khaki. As long as we have 'leaders' defining failure as 'deferred success' and mask every example of bad behaviour as ADHD or due to 'child poverty', we are sunk.

One must not overlook the role of police heavy hand approach to black fathers in family conflicts, most black mothers are aware of that and use it to their advantage at the expense of their kids

So does this mean that all white fathers support their children.

No it doesn't; that's only said in your reactionary little head. So now we're clear on that, what's your point?

Hallelujah Cameron. Now the gauntlet is laid: what is the black community going to do about it?

"Currently, the tax system is skewed against marriage."

No, it is not. Marriage may not have tax perks, but you do NOT have to pay more tax when you are married and you do NOT get tax deductions when you're not. I wish!

M.R., Stockport,

Obama is spot on.
The fact that Obama and Cameron are pointing out a palpable fact (among the causes for so much dissolution and suffering) does NOT of course mean that they are ipso facto suggesting that all white fathers are supportive of their children. How juvenile to read it that way!

So does this mean that all white fathers support their children. My dad was white and didn't give any financial support to my mum while I was growing up.
Its a bad move by Obama who is trying to turn on his own to brown nose white voters. Shame.

So what do the Tories intend to do? Currently, the tax system is skewed against marriage, and schools and every government service are at best neutral to marriage and often hostile. Divorce has never been easier but children need fathers and stable family life.

I think you will find Barack Obama is trying to appeal to a white audience with his unhelpful remarks on black fathers. This fraud won't be the next president and the equally fraudulent David Cameron will not be the next Prime Minister. Let it be said, many white fathers are just as bad.
