Yes, the Liberal Ideal for females (non-married, abortion-when-pregnant, career oriented) is catching up to them demographically, hence the desire for unlimited immigration from 3rd world countries.
I guess I'm a bit younger than the average FReeper. In my age group, almost everyone has that attitude. Couples that wait are by far the exception.
A few months is when the guys usually bail.
I get blank stares when I tell guys my girlfriend's body isn't what I love most about her. And they laugh if I say I don't mind waiting.
I know the best natural way to not get pregnant is to wait. You can be intimate in other ways.
It’s a damn shame.
“Exactly, eugenics and genocide. Black folks are suckers for our continued support of the Democrats who favor a platform that wants to wipe us out. .... either before we are born or with liberal policies that perpetuate the slave mentality. That is one of the reasons this sister and many black people that I know have broken away. It is still not enough though.”
Congratulations!! Welcome to the club!
Nahh, I'd say a couple days....a week at most.
The problem with Obama, like most Dems, refuses to pinpoint the most important SINGLE cause of the cultural degradation in much of the black community. That cause is the destruction of the 2 parent black family. The precipitate cause of this tragedy was the welfare state created by LBJ and (mostly) the DemocRAT Party. But since Barack He who must not be middle named Obama wants to extend and expand the welfare state to all of America, he is careful to avoid drawing the correct conclusions.
When you point out that the Democratic Partys entire history and policies have been antithetical to the best interests of the black community, and that to the extent that a major political party is responsible for any political and civil liberty that black people have, they owe it to the Republican Party, and even when you can prove that historically and factually the most amazing case of political cognitive dissonance then occurs.
The common response is, well that may be true but only the Democrats are for us. They usually go on to an entirely erroneous understanding of Nixons Southern strategy, a distortion of Berry Goldwaters principled opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and completely ignore the fact that the Democratic Party was founded amongst other things, to extend slavery into the territorys. The Democratic Party opposed 13, 14, and 15th amendment to the United States Constitution, reconstruction, every bit of foundational civil rights legislation from 1866 to 1968, instituted Jim Crow in the Southern states, refused to enact antilynching laws, and most importantly destroyed the two-parent black family with Lyndon Johnsons welfare state. When you point out the fact that the modern-day Democratic Party is home to the pro-abortion forces that have enhanced the wildly disproportionate abortion rate in the black community, that doesnt seem to register either.
The black community is in the throes of the worst political brainwashing outside of the Soviet Union and I just dont know what can be done about it. I am constantly engaged in debates with people in my community and they are determined to vote for Democrats despite the clear and present evidence of their utterly destructive policies. The staggeringly high level of political cognitive dissonance amongst my people is frightening.
LOL - I get much the same reaction in my own neighborhood since I'm one of the few conservatives left in these parts.
I've occasionally had my "neighbors" refuse to speak to me at the Nhood Association meetings - which is okay by me. ;-)
And no reasonable person can blame blacks for seeing the US Federal government as the solution to their problems; it was that same government that freed slaves, that opened school doors. But that government cannot change minds, cannot enforce thought. Respect, equality, those are things earned by individuals, not enforced by dictate.
If someone's a bigot, why would you want their acceptance? I'd take one Harlem renaissance over 10,000 atlanta thug rap dynasties.
Does not compute. :p
Think Sweden. A lot of the northeast wealthy suburbs are going precisely in that direction (and in my hometown, too).
Wow, aren’t “liberals” “tolerant”?
It just gets you... right here... (choking up, sorry)
There's that 3-date rule...
I went to college with some very brilliant young black women who were basically getting all of their education paid for, and yet they still chose the getting pregnant out of wed lock and not really being with the father of the baby thing. I just don't get it. I have kind of lost track of them, but I don't think that any of them actually managed to finish school and get their degrees. I just don't get it?
I am white, however, I grew up in a poor Latino community and saw this kind of stuff all the time. I just did not want to repeat it myself. Why would anybody want to repeat a hellish pattern like being a single mother to children that are not really being cared for by their fathers?
I will never understand it.
