Blacks struggle with 72 percent unwed mothers rate
ap.org ^ | November 6, 2010 | Jesse Washington

Posted on 11/06/2010 10:53:29 AM PDT by MamaDearest

Snips from Excerpt only website: Seventy-two percent of black babies are born to unmarried mothers today, according to government statistics. This number is inseparable from the work of Carroll, an obstetrician who has dedicated her 40-year career to helping black women.

The black community's 72 percent rate eclipses that of most other groups: 17 percent of Asians, 29 percent of whites, 53 percent of Hispanics and 66 percent of Native Americans were born to unwed mothers in 2008, the most recent year for which government figures are available. The rate for the overall U.S. population was 41 percent.

It’a a brilliant scheme, actually. ‘Grow your own’ voters! The Dems are farming them.

Long standing scheme! The statists, the ruling class know that they must have dependents. Without them they are virtually powerless. Yet, the leftists, the ruling class spew the bleeding-heart line in balde face pretense. Wolves in sheep's clothing!

They are CHOOSING to behave irresponsibly.

If you never had to work another day of your life (staying home, watching cable or satellite TV, playing video games, etc.), got free healthcare, free education and food stamps to boot, is that a choice (to go to work daily and pay for babysitters, gasoline, and actually do physical and/or mental work) or too good to pass up?

Michelle should address this issue, instead of child obesity. It’s far more significant.

But she is so proud of this country...for the first time in her life.

29 of whites is a stunner.

There is no sense of shame or guilt anymore as the coarsening of our culture continues apace.

Indeed. Single mom’ism seems to be a very attractive ideal for the 20 something female crowd now.

I would post my first reaction, but it's stupid to get suspended (again) for stating the obvious.

b******s!

“I seriously doubt we will ever be able to restore things “back to kilter” among AA’s.”

Women are hard-wired to want a husband, no matter what cultural overlays may mask that common-sense imperative.

Was looking at some “demotivators” the other day, and stumbled across one that was both offensive and deceptively profound. It was a teeny-bopper slut, depraved beyond her years, wearing a shirt captioned “I own the pussy; I make the rules.”

The solution could start with educating women, both the 72% (probably closer to 90%) of black women and the sluts of other races, to understand that they harm themselves when they allow irresponsible scoundrels to impregnate them.

Then would come the task of teaching them that the only sure way to avoid being impregnated is to refuse to be inseminated; e.g., to take a birth control pill and clasp it firmly between the knees.

If women were “making the rules” in accordance with those two propositions, then the only place men could find intimacy would be within wedlock (exceptions noted but insignificant). They would begin to do the things they have to do to find a bride and keep a family.

Things would begin to get better, slowly at first, then with increasing momentum.

How hard would it be to educate women to accept these two propositions? Well, according to Camile Paglia, not hard at all, as they are congruent with a woman’s basic instincts.

What was difficult was teaching women that being a slut was a good thing. Reversing that should be easier.

No, with my sister and me, it was alleged to be a peapod. And thanks, now I get it.

Duh! And how old was this woman? Probably not more than her mid-30’s. Seriously! This is unbelievable. There are many in the AA community - “mothers” - who are becoming grandmothers by the time they’re in their early-mid 30s. These statistics are horrifying IMHO. 72%? And 50+ amongst hispanics? I truly cannot grasp how seriously horrifying that is and what it bodes for the future for our country with stats like that. It’s scary- scary indeed!

My Momma always said it took her and my dad having their 4th baby to finally figure out what was causing the “problem!” (ha!) sarc/off

Self-absorbed selfishness....on a scale unlike we’ve ever known in this country...and probably the world, for that matter.

The AA community is destroying itself.

In terms of civilized culture, yes; but in terms of population, no. It's the cuckoo problem. Taxpayers pay for the nest, and the population grows.

There is no struggle, there is cultural promiscuity. Black culture has become matrilineal.

Grandmothers provide money and care.

Males, young males are tolerated for sex. They are then allowed to sponge much as do drone bees.

There’s a problem, since the 90’s for females.

That’s what made me realize that her son couldn’t have had 12 kids all by the same woman.

How many of these kids are born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?

Addicted to cocaine in the womb?

Heroin?? Meth??

How many of those babies will die from gunshots before they graduate from High School?

Before the complete Middle School?

How many of these kids are burdened from birth with names like Shithead (pronounced Sha-theed), Lemonjello, Asfunzo, and other obviously inappropriate and/or unpronouncible names?

That stat is sickening by itself, but it is just one tiny indicator of an absolute horror that is ongoing in the AA community, and has done nothing but get worse despite Trillions of dollars spent trying to “make it better”.

I do not know what the answer is. I do not know how to make an entire race of people change the attitudes within themselves that are destroying them from the inside out.

This scenario paints the women as victims. The welfare queens who pop out those babies year after year know almost to the dime how much they will receive in benes for each and every one. They are hardly victims.

Another great scam among this subculture comes at tax time. The mothers don’t need the kids as tax deductions, so they ‘sell’ the kids’ as deductions to those who do. Make a couple hundred bucks for each kid.

Sorry, they are far from victims.

Remember when Ann Coulter was attacked in her book Guilty: Liberal Victims and their assault on America for devoting an entire chapter on Single Mothers. The chapter was titled Victim of a Crime? Thank a Single Mother. She said “True Single Mothers are women who, by their own volition, have done everything in their power to ruin their children's lives before they are even born.”

I would recommend reading this book to anyone.

,,,,”The Dems are farming them’’. Chillingly put but precise. It’s among this sub-culture of sloth and irresponsibility that ignorance breeds and dependence is born. To these people they couldn’t give a rats whisker what kind of government is in power as long as ‘’they gettin’ theirs’’. Totalitarians of the Left know this and exploit this and so do the Democrats. On that basis alone Democrats are reprehensible.

Oh I DO remember the heat Ann took over that. And the heat Moynihan took. PC started a long time ago. Speaking the straight truth became unacceptable, destroying whole communities.

We’ve all seen so much pain, so many destroyed lives, thanks to all those foolish programs that encouraged children to have children with no father around. Personally, I’ve seen women bury their young sons, and others see their sons incarcerated for life. It’s sickening. But never do they connect those tragedies with having borne the children out of wedlock and raised without fathers.
