CNN is back to its old ways. On Father's Day, they tried to insert race into the widely celebrated holiday and Twitter's community notes came in and set that whole thing on fire.
Black fathers are often portrayed as absent or distant, but that isn’t what most people experience, according to both data and Black dads themselves. Such biased portrayals are often based on who is telling the story. https://t.co/7Rtw2Bna9R

Exactly. There are good and bad fathers in every race and culture and it should not be a bad thing to talk about the statistics regarding either of those things.
What you need to know is only about 25% of Black children are raised in a two parent family. As President Obama, Denzel Washington and others have said this is a problem because children raised in these single parent homes are far more likely to live in poverty and end up going…

There are many prominent black men who have spoken out about the community and the number of fathers who are not present. Facts are just facts, facts are not racist, they just exist.
Can y'all please just say Happy Father's Day instead of pandering? Didn't ask for or need your validation, cnn.

They could have done that, but then they probably would not have gotten so many replies and they are obviously just looking for clicks.
Y’all really took Father’s Day and made it about race..

They did indeed.
This is what y’all went with for father day? It’s almost satirical.

CNN could probably go 'Babylon Bee' and still write the same stories but get more clicks if people thought they were making fun of stuff instead of being serious. We really think they should try that. LOL
Are there ever any studies conducted that show data and ask Bank robbers themselves if they feel like they're ever robbing a bank?

Bank Robbers: "Nah, we're not "robbing", we're tactically acquiring."
Would love to see the data on that.
HA! We snickered because they did say they asked black fathers about the idea they are absent. Of course, they are going to say they are not absent. Just as if CNN polled Twitchy writers about if we are fabulous we would say we are BEYOND fabulous. Come on CNN. Get it together.

Leftists like to call statistics racist all of the time so that would not be surprising and those headlines look like they were pulled directly from a CNN newsfeed. We know CNN has been trying to act like they are turning over a new leaf and not being typical mainstream media any longer, but this Father's Day article and tweet look like they are playing the same old game of inserting race into anything and everything for clicks and views.
Stop it CNN. Just say Happy Father's Day next year.
