It's been used repeatedly to portray Black men as lazy and terrible fathers. It's often done as a way of not just tearing down Black people, but as a form of deflection from the impact of historic horrors such as slavery, Jim Crow and other forms of structural racism.The story of the Black father is actually one of remarkable success despite those injustices.
