Thank you for the very informative reply - I totally accept the correction, and admit my comments were based on my own experiences and understanding from being a student and working at a university, including assisting a student through the process of being assaulted on campus by a fellow student. Obviously our…

Before we generalize too much, I’ll add that many studies have proven that children raised by gay couples (i.e. two men) do just as well as children raised by straight couples. So basically the sex of one’s parent or parents means jack shit in terms of how good they can be as parents. 

Seriously! What the hell did ANY of the stuff he said have to do with honoring the life of Aretha Franklin!!? It’s like when Trump goes out to give a presidential address and just stands up there spewing nonsensical sewage about “Crooked Hillary.”

I agree 100 percent.

Raising four sons on your own from the age of 12 isn’t “precious.” It’s badass and takes balls. More balls than any of these so-called clergymen have.

the least the legal system can do is give the victims the opportunity to NOT get killed be their abuser, and killing them first seems like pretty much the only way to guarantee that.

Oh, it was bad. Jaw-droppingly bad at times.

I thought eulogies were supposed to be ABOUT THE FUCKING PERSON WHO FUCKING DIED. Can you even call it a eulogy if it’s just some asshat roaming around the stage spewing dumb shit that has nothing to do with the dead person, save for insulting everything they stood for?

Duuuuude! President Obama was raised by a single Mother! Also, if his STATS are true then a whole lot of other good men raised by single Moms were in that room too and he talked shit about their Moms to them. 

I think a lot of men raised by single mothers or lesbian couples probably do grow up to be good men, there’s no man around to perpetuate the cycle of sexism and misogyny.

My cousin, a AME preacher, has single handedly RUINED at least two funerals (I say three but my mom says to be nice) with his bullshit eulogies. He was so bad at my father’s funeral that I had to give this sign from the front pew:

My husband was raised by a single woman. He’s one of the few decent men in the world, and it is BECAUSE he didn’t have a man in his life. Toxic masculinity is what this guy’s preaching.

It’s not like the majority of white single-parent households are helmed by fathers either.

Why does the burden of responsibility always fall on black women within the community. Black homes are often FATHERLESS meaning women are staying to do the work someone else left behind.

The vast majority of crimes have the perpetrator and the victim of the same ethnic background, across all demographics.

He also said gay people don’t deserve happiness and equality. Don’t forget that.

When Stevie Wonder clowns you in the middle of your sermon, you know you fucked up.

My brother and I were raised by a single mom, and my brother is now a strong, smart, good man. Basically, fuck Williams and his harmful, retrograde ideas.

Shitty pastor: Black lives don’t matter. Single moms are trash and can’t raise boys.

Wow. I did not know it was that bad. This was absolutely terrible.
