I have a real problem with the wording of this title...it is offensive and unecessary

Great article, but I have to agree with meandog about the title.

He is using the word bastard in the literal sense, but I understand your uneasiness.

Is the word "bastard?" Perhaps the author used it intentionally to get the reader's attention.

If you're offended by a grammatically correct, factually accurate title using proper english words, well, aren't you the PC one?

Yes, perhaps you would have preferred something like: "The issue of moderate government and African-American children born free of male domination" or some such Politically Correct nonsense.

It appears that some FReepers have been hammered into PC submission.

Someone in the audience at a campaign stop for President Bush used the same expression. President Bush looked shocked. angry, then sad. He said, "Every child should be welcomed and loved, as a gift from God."

In some New England states the number of white children born out of wedlock exceeds the number of black children in certain metropolitan areas. Fourth and fifth generation welfare populations of whites, demonstrate the same social pathologies attributed to blacks.

Dependence, non-accountability, and the establishment of a permanent "human services" class to "speak for the poorest and most vulnerable," insures the continuation of tv shows like "Cops," in which the children of this dehumanized population can be seen, dirty, uncared for, terrified by the violence around them, or numbed and withdrawn, ...all white.

Trash knows no color.

I have a real problem with the original meaning of the word "bastard". It puts all the hatred and ugliness of many unwed pregnancies on to the child; it is not the innocent child who should get the blame for the act but the idiot parents whom all responsibility should lie with. When you call someone a "bastard child", you place blame on someone who has done nothing wrong.

On the other hand, if you call Michael Moore or any Frenchman a "bastard", I have no problem with that.

I agree. There are plenty of white bastards out there as well and they do not even have the excuse of slavery or violation of civil rights in their background.
