Do you find it ironic that a black person (Melissa Harris-Perry) said this on a MSNBC promo?

MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry:

"We have never invested as much in public education as we should have, because we've always have kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of 'these are our children.' So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents, or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids BELONG to whole communities. Once it's everybody's responsibility, and not just the household's, then we start making better investments."

BELONG? BELONG???? BELONG to whole communities??????

I wouldn't be surprised if most people say that the aforementioned is rather disturbing and unsettling. But for this to come from a black person, be it a man or a woman is rather ironic.

Completely contradictory to their stance on abortion. It's the mother's decision (even with a live baby on a table at PP) and the State be damned.

Now, once it's decided to 'keep' the child, it becomes the property of the State?!

Lord Jesus save us from this evil and wicked generation.

Documentation File on the harmful impact of the Counterculture of Obamanation on America.

___________________

Barry Soetoro, aka B. Hussein Obama, 5 days before the end of GWB’s Presidential term, told ‘The Gullible’ the following: “We are five days away from FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!”

Going on 5 years now, the best friends that Obama could have had to help him achieve his above stated dastardly goal were the RINO leaderships in the US House and Senate, AND THEY ARE STILL IN POWER!

_____________________

IMHO, the Counterculture of Obamanation will continue to destroy America for as long as the US Congressional RINOs allow it to, and not one minute more!

What do you want to bet if a hetero, 2-parent white family tried to adopt a black baby this woman would think it’s terrible?

Of course, because then the kid might grow up to NOT be a guaranteed govt dependent.

(As Rush might say..."do not doubt me on this")

Re-defining pedophilia is next on the leftist social re-engineering agenda.

America is on a fast-track to sh*tville.

Wasn’t there another Commie “Checklist” during the 60’s?

I think it was more effective as a teaching tool and actually scarier than that one (the one that you linked to)

I will search for it, hope you do too

Maybe it is just difficult to comprehend things that are outside of one’s own narrow context. The black woman is not suggesting anything about slavery or black people belonging or being owned by others. What she is saying is that it is easy for any community to point at another and say that the community or it’s children have failed, it is another thing to say if all of those children fails then it will in some way eventually affect all of us.

She is simply saying that we should give a damn about other children because we all belong to one large community.
