just a thought, but why are there no interviews with daughters talking about their dads? i mean the mother's day version of this segment had both ladies and gents talking about their mommas.

How about some moms who are scientists, astronauts, writers..( black, white, asian, latino, native americans...all races)? Real life is more than actors, actresses, Hollywood....

Moron or not --- one has to look really good, or have tons of money to attract attention

They're all white! How can businesses that aspire to have global reach survive when they give so much open leeway to competitors? Over the last years many old-school television journalists have jumped ship (for it is sinking) and sought to find some sanctuary for their proffessional morality in new start-up media ventures. Wasn't Yahoo! News one of those? Or were we just hoping? Maybe it was a lost colony. There will be (and are) others. Nature marches on. Is this 60minutes.yahoo.com pastry sweet only one example of our failures? How much are we being paid to surrender our intellectual dignity this way? I get better news in my dreams! News that serves the needs of government, justice, education and entertainment in a balanced artful manner. Wish it were true. Yahoo! News of the future: "Christian soldiers unite, for we are battling injustice in the name of God" News you will not see on Yahoo!: USA obliterated. Act of God.

Tiger Woods dad... Chris Tucker's dad... Ice Cube's dad... Dave Chapelle's dad... Venus and Serena's dad... there are a LOT of African American stars whose dads were EXTREMELY INSTRUMENTAL in their success. All of the above, for instance speak of their fathers often so it's no secret. Another example of how the doctrine of white supremacy is AUTOMATICALLY propagated by the media. Gee... I'm surprised.

If we keep looking for black vs white problems, we will be programmed to find them. How about looking for good, and positive. Get over it.

Oh my GOD can we once just focus on what this is really about which is Father's Day. Who cares if all that are pictured are white. Do you know that there is a Miss Black Universe, There are all Black college's and I am sure there is more to mention. So do we really want to spend our lives making sure we politicaly correct everyone we come in counter with. I am sure that the jouranlist who wrote the story were not thinking oh man i am sure we will piss some people off if we only show photos of white dudes and their dads.Give em a break haven't any of you ever made a mistake. Give it a rest.

As I see from at least two of the comment, that you have nothing better to do. I am a black woman and I have the same question. Where are the black fathers? Where are the latino fathers, this is a multicultural society, so show a multicultural piece. That's it and that's all. You are a moron if you gloss over that fact. It's past tie to remove that gloss and show all the fathers, including oriental, latino and african. Maybe the man did forget, but thatis no excuxe for a public venue. It shows exclusion, moron and depression.cnoreson2hate
