Welfare has created a cultural problem?

Gee whiz...

“because nation’s laws have torn African American families apart”

And the squawkers are probably still staunch democrat voters. Fools.

[Salman]

It's a waste of time to take these demands at face value and pick them apart. It's just a stratagem to stay angry for next year's election (and beyond).

There may be some sort of BS payments at some point. That will be deemed "not enough".

There is no "end game". The game is to keep the race war going on forever to the benefit of the politicians. Just as with international wars.

[neverevergiveup]

Laughable, but horribly destructive rhetoric. Generations of blacks fought for a better life and equality just so that a dysfunctional group of put-upons can destroy the very progress they fought for. As for ‘tearing’ apart families, having multiple partners without protection and having babies as a teenager doesn't fit the narrative. There was no family to begin with. It's way past time to tell these radicals to shut up and shove it.

Did Hunter Biden come up with this idea?

[LucienCA13]

From the article: “The report claims that the 10 percent interest that the state charges on back child support has hampered black residents to find employment, maintain a home, and further their education due to the legal consequences of not paying such debt.”
—————
Pay your child support so you’re not charged the additional 10%.
Sounds like a reasonable penalty/incentive. Heck, you’ll pay 30% to borrow money with a 640 credit score. 10% sounds cheap.

[Dave911]

And with this suggestion it continues. If black adults are relieved of paying child support only black children will suffer. More white liberal idiocy.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

If they mean AFDC, by all means cancel it!

[LouAvul]

end child support debt for black residents...the nation's laws have hindered their growth and have torn African American families apart

LBJ accelerated a trend that destroyed black families. Subsidizing whores having bastard children with the proviso there is no father figure present? What did those stupid liberals think would happen?

Now, more stupid liberals are saying it's going to benefit black children by letting their biological father off the hook for support?

Liberals are too stupid for words. They're just ... stupid.

[Jayster]

And Black Females would be ok with this?

[milagro]

The Democrats have used welfare to turn our Government into a plantation which ensures them of harvesting a plentiful crop of votes.

[apostoli]

LBJ created the gimmedats.

[No name given]

Indeed.

[No name given]

Well said.

[heartwood]

I think this might be debt to the state, rather than debt owed to the other parent.

The argument being that of course black parents would have provided for their children if not for institutional racism, poor schools, unfair criminal records,discriminatory hiring practices, and generational trauma leaving so many mired in poverty.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Lyrics to Get a Job, sung by the Silhouettes, 1957:

Were the messages of the memorable hit song mixed messages about the state and reasons for black men’s employment situation? I’m not sure I really heard all the lyrics clearly at the time.

Interesting. Deduct my debts unpaid from my owed reparations. Child support, college loans, taxes, mortgage, utilities, etc....

Call JG Wentworth if you're black, for your advance payout on your reparations.

Kinda like the 1997 Tobacco company settlements with states.
