Black people need to stop having so many kids out of wedlock.....

Teddy Roosevelt:
Props to everyone (espically Eihtball) who posted some valid arguements. This is actually a good discussion. I'll even prop CWalker for not posting some hateful shit only to run away or post even more ignorant shit (although he probably was intending to).
Personaly I look at it this way. First it was slavery, then it was segregation, then it was racism, then it was politics (it was always racism and politics just as it is now, just not this sophisticated). Now as a race, Black people's mentality is being destroyed by what there being portrayed as/expected to be. But the reasons are running thin. If we as Black people want better we just have to except it and move on. Role with the punches. It doesn't help that the reasons I stated are used as an excuse for everything by the most ignorant of Black men and being passed on to others.

Less and less people get married nowadays anyway.  Just because the kid is born out of wedlock, doesn't mean the Dad isn't around to help raise him.  I know lots of people who have kids and aren't married, that doesn't mean they are bad people.

Excellent point. In fact white out of wedlock births have doubled and are now at a higher rate than black out of wedlock births were in the 60s when LBJ got the memo. One theory states it has a lot to do with the technology shock of the 70s that allowed single people to have easy access to abortion and birth control and this lead to the massive decline of the shotgun marriage. I think a lot also has to do with the feminist movement that made women think they didn't need a man. Whatever it is it has a lot to do with liberal minded thinking not thinking hard enough as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, here is the article from the mid 90s;

and here is a link to an audio clip of the memo;

You know what CWalker, I don't say this very often (but for some reason more so lately), but I agree with you 100%. These women have having babies when they're not financially and mentally mature enough to take care of one, so the kid ends up getting with the wrong crowd and get caught up in crime. It's ridiculous. These guys are born without a father figure to teach them how to be "real" men and support your children, but as soon as they screw up, they do like their daddy did and run away. It's a vicious cycle and its sickening. Sometimes I think people treat children like a toy or a pet instead of what it really is, a person.

alotta these 18-25 year old girls realize that when their pussy power is fading their fucked in the world cuz theyre dumb and thats all theyve ever been. shitting out a kid is good insurance so you can convince people you're not worthless, its easier than getting a job

or as pimp c put it "wicked women usin' children to live on"
