Fathers disappear from households across America Big increase in single mothers
The Washington Times, LLC ^ | December 25, 2012 | By Luke Rosiak

Nicole Hawkins‘ three daughters have matching glittery boots, but none has the same father. Each has uniquely colored ties in her hair, but none has a dad present in her life.

As another single mother on Sumner Road decked her row-house stoop with Christmas lights and a plastic Santa, Ms. Hawkins recalled that her middle child’s father has never spent a holiday or birthday with her. In her neighborhood in Southeast Washington, 1 in 10 children live with both parents, and 84 percent live with only their mother

Yup. Just ask the feminists and nutty liberals — children don’t need a father.

And this is the core of our problem in this day. What will another one or two generations be like without a father influence?

And the white population is right behind. Daniel Moynihan in his famous study on Black dependency noted the country could withstand the then outrageous 30% illegitimacy rate in Blacks but NOT that rate in the majority population. We are nearly there....

A friend of mine subs in the Montgomery County, MD schools.

She was telling me about one class that sat around talking with each other, instead of doing the lesson. “Nice kids,” she said. “So if they’re nice kids, why didn’t you tell them to do the lesson. Why don’t you teach them? The deserve to learn.”

Well, they’re nice kids if you don’t tell them what to do. If you let them talk, they’ll talk reasonably quietly, they’re not destroying the classroom or giving the teacher hell. They will graduate with As and Bs for coming to class, entirely ignorant of history and chemistry, with a rudimentary knowledge of reading and arithmetic.

They are nice kids, meaning they go to school and talk, instead of selling drugs and mugging people, at least not very often. Being nice kids qualifies them for affirmative action jobs in goverment. The people driving your bus or processing your paperwork.

Sounds like the blame should be put on Nicole’s knees which didn’t stay together.

Hey, being a single mother is COOL. It’s all but glorified in media, in society now.

I know a lot of white women who have chosen this path, too, though. By choice. All it takes is one minor mistake by the poor dude, and she flys off the handle and divorces him, with NO hesitation. Always ends up ok for her — every other weekend with the kids, the other weekends free for HER to enjoy her newly found fun lifestyle ...whatever that may be — usually drunken weekends with friends and jumping into bed with whomever she might meet that weekend. Sadly know than a few like this. See some of it in my medical training - very often, in fact.

Hey, it’s FUN to be single again!! Why stay with some old fuddy duddy husband?? That’s for suckers.

So tired of it. It’s a life of perpetual moochdom. Hoping it all just implodes one day, because it’s not fair to the hardworking and upright people in society to have to keep supporting all of this.

I just pray for TRUE justice to eventually reign in our land one day again.

The media and Hollywood have one single purpose which is promoting communism.

Happy New Year

We should make injectable contraceptive mandatory for all welfare programs, from food stamps/SNAP to Medicaid to unemployment. The contraceptives should be mandatory for every female in the house of childbearing age, including teenage girls. If you cannot feed yourself, you cannot have more children.
When you or your partner can support yourselves, proven by unenrolling from the dole, the injections stop.

And while we’re at it, looking at how irresponsible some men are with guns begs the question: why do we let men own guns?

Liberalism’s atm daddies ran out of money so what use are they?

This is so shallow and disgusting...a terrible trap and error that will reap it’s suffering and lies in the coming twenty years.

Don’t look now but it’s happening exponentially in the white, “middle class,” married sector as well. As other posters have stated, the government condones women just “feeling like a change” filing divorce papers at the drop of a hat, banning dad from seeing/parenting the children and taking his wallet in the process for matriarchy. . errr “child” support.

Any white male who has been dragged through the family court system especially in BLUE states where being a white hetero father is today’s PARIAH will tell you the horror stories. Breed not because fathers have ZERO rights in today’s cottage divorce industry.

Because even irresponsible men with guns are not being paid by the government to get even more guns.
