Tea-partying deadbeat dad Joe Walsh has a dream that black men wont be deadbeat dads

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) ignored his own personal history in invoking civil rights history on his radio show on Wednesday in a concern-trolling appropriation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s I Have A Dream speech.
According to Mother Jones, Walsh, who was sued in 2011 for owing more than $100,000 in child support, accused leaders in the African-American community of avoiding responsibility for their own problems and placing the blame on larger institutions.
I have a dream that young black men wont become fathers until after theyre married and they have a job, Walsh said at one point. I have a dream that young unmarried black women will say no to young black men who want to have sex. I have a dream that todays black leadership will quit blaming racism and the system for what ails black America.

Along with giving him a swift kick in the cojones.
