This article is baloney! First of all, he said they were strong and smart FIRST. Secondly, as a father, especially of Black women, he absolutely SHOULD tell his daughters they are beautiful. That’s why girls fall for the “game” these young, hormonal boys fill their heads with–because they didn’t hear how beautiful AND strong AND smart they were from their fathers, the man who is supposed to set the standard for all other males in a girl’s life, be they friends or significant others. How dare you criticize this man for being a doting father to his daughters! Your critique says a lot about him as a man–if that’s your biggest gripe with the leader of the free world, I’ll take it…

Well, perhaps, he was talking personally as opposed to objectifying them into all “women”. In any father’s loving eyes his daughter’s are more beautiful than anything in the world. This “doting” on them, making them feel special, is what empowers them later in life to know they deserve to be treated as if they are special and choose a man who will treat them as wonderfully as that first role model, their father. Every father should say that to their daughter every day!
