Yes indeed! When the Government steps in the male steps out as he is no longer required. Every feminists dream. It would be fun to dig that paper out and see just how prescient it was. You can bet that it's not discussed in any black studies course, even at Harvard.

But this is no longer limited to the male. Our government was once predominantly a paternal figure but with the feminization of America, it is shifting more to the maternalism. We are entering the nanny state and it will be interesting to see the effect on families when both parental roles are displaced.

Marx said that God and Family had to go for the state to be supreme.

"Such a national effort could be stated thus:

The policy of the United States is to bring the Negro American to full and equal sharing in the responsibilities and rewards of citizenship. To this end, the programs of the Federal government bearing on this objective shall be designed to have the effect, directly or indirectly, of enhancing the stability and resources of the Negro American family."
