'They need to be taught' - Black community feels effects of single parenthood rates.
Tribune Staff Writer - SouthBend Tribune ^ | May 10. 2006 6:59AM | MAY LEE JOHNSON

A young, single mother informed a Tribune reporter that "marriage is for white people."

The statistics back up her words. More than three-quarters of black babies are born out of wedlock, according to the St. Joseph County Health Department. South Bend sociologist Johnnie Griffin says blacks were more likely to be raised by both parents during slavery days than they are today.

Nearly 1.5 million babies, a record, were born to unmarried women in the United States last year, the government reported. And it isn't just teenagers anymore.

You are right, it's not a universal attitude, but it's prevalent. Some black kids are committed to an education, but they are few and far between. As a high school teacher, what I see are a large majority who are content to get through school by taking the easiest possible classes. They have no interest in college beyond perhaps attending a community college. When you ask them what they are going to become they have no answer. Most black kids I have NEVER turn in homework. They say they're too busy after school to do it. Most admit they NEVER study for a test. Guess what? Most fail. When I call home, mother, or more often, grandmother, tells me she can't control them. And the band played on.

In a legal system geared to financially destroy the man in a divorce, why would marriage even occur to the "thinking" individual?

The war against Genesis...

The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that while 56 percent of all women who obtained legal abortions were white, the abortion rate (the number of abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44 per year) for black women was 2.9 times that of white women. For every thousand black women, 32 have abortions, as compared with 11 for every thousand white women. Likewise with numbers of abortions per 1,000 births: The abortions/births ratio for white women was 184 abortions per 1,000 live births; for black women, it was 543 abortions per 1,000 births. This means that abortion ratios for black women were 2.8 times greater than for white women. Sadly, black women were also more likely to obtain riskier abortions late in their pregnancies, while white women were significantly more likely than black women to obtain abortions before 16 weeks.

While these data most likely reflect inequality in access to health care, data also indicates that the racial disparities in abortion rates have increased steadily since 1989. In some localities, including Mississippi, Louisiana, Maryland, and Georgia, more than half of all abortions are performed on black women. Black women in New York City and in the entire state of New Jersey receive more than 47 percent of all abortions performed there. (Racist Hitlerian eugenics?)

Comparisons by race are not allowed in California, because the state – unlike any other state – refuses to comply with requirements to report statistics on abortion.

[Pagan gods of secrecy and silence? Egyptians worshipped Harpocrates, the god of silence; for which reason he is always pictured holding a finger on his mouth. Athenians had a statue of brass, which they bowed to; a figure made without a tongue, to declare secrecy thereby. The Romans had a goddess of silence called Angerona, which is pictured like Harpocrates, holding her finger on her mouth, in token of secrecy.]

California reporting requirements, enacted in 1967, is part of a larger abortion law entitled as the Therapeutic Abortion Act. Yet, even with the threat of losing federal funds, California has consistently refused to report its abortion data. Michael Quinn, once chief of California’s office for health information, recently quoted in a Catholic newspaper account says, "California does not actively collect abortion statistics because they are highly sensitive and highly political." Why the resistance to Ward Connerly's California Racial Privacy Initiative, Proposition 54, which prohibits racial profiling by the state?

Contemplate the religious fervor associated with the pro-abortion advocacy. The societal practice of abortion is ritual mass murder upon the altars of conceit dedicated to idolatrous vanities, a collective human sacrifice before pagan idols.

It has a similitude to the Teutonic paganism of Adolph Hitler (whose idolatry was the idea of a "master race," among other things). In effect, these genocides are a mass human sacrifice to those pagan idols. The abortionists, like the National Socialists, incinerate the remains of their victims.

Aleister Crowley, who openly supported the National Socialists, was affiliated with Ordo Templi Orientis, A.A. (Order of the Silver Star) and other such occult lodges all across Germany. Crowley engaged in all manner of deviancy, homoeroticism, sadomasochism and murder. Much of the occultism in National Socialism is derived directly from there. Crowley envisioned himself as the Great Beast (To Mega Therion), just as der Fuhrer made himself in that image. Hitler's life as a struggling, inept artist was where that association blossomed.

Crowley's creed, "Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the Law," (which is actually from Francois Rabelais) and used by Neo-Pagan nutcases without attribution for obvious politically correct reasons, is with certainty no different than the National Socialist "will to power," or their ubermensch mentality.

It is also no accident Nietzsche's "over-man" and nihilist philosophy and resulting insanity from venereal disease closely mirrors the insanity of der Fuhrer.

These occult orders, sex and drug cults still survive today, as do the Neo-pagan, Neo-Nazi groups, black supremacist Rastafarian potheads, prison gangs and other related filth.

Crowley occultism is also from where L. Ron Hubbard emerges with Scientology. Note the NAZI symbolism of that kooky cult of weirdos and their deviant adherents.

It is no coincidence Islamic pagans hate Israel, Jews, Christians and Western Civilization. The entire basis of Western Civilization is Mosaic Law, something both the Neo-Pagan Left and the pagan Islamic thugs cannot abide and wish to destroy.

The very idea that human beings have individual rights not subject to the whims of an earthly monarch, but subject to the laws of Yahweh, is directly from Moses.

Historically, this is proven over and over again with the successive conflicts between the forces of paganism and the Judaic culture. (This includes the idolatry of Marxist paganism.)

Today, "morals" are defined by a quasi-religious pagan philosophy based on esoteric hobgoblins. A greater number of "atheists" and "pagans" adopt the same hackneyed tenets of a false Judaic-Christian ideal (golden calf). They also subscribe to the Judaic fetishism of "sin," but will fight to their death in denial of it. Most of them are so wrapped up in their own polemics that they have become nothing more than pathetic anti-Christians with the same false hypocritical philosophy. They just slap a new label on it hoping nobody will notice - - they replace the idea of "avoiding sin" with "morals."

Morality and all of its associated concepts are from the belief some higher power defines what is correct in human behavior. Today, "morals" are a religious pagan philosophy of esoteric hobgoblins. Transfiguration is a pantheon of fantasies as the medium of infinitization. Others get derision for having an unwavering Judaic belief in Yahweh or Yeshua, although their critics and enemies will evangelize insertion of phantasmagoric fetishisms into secular law.

Mosaic Law (of which the Ten Commandments is just a part) is the foundation of Western Civilization. Genesis is the primary focus of the Declaration of Independence, from where our Constitutional rights are derived. The Ten Commandments are the foundation of our judicial system.

Moses wrote Genesis. This is why such people will jump up and down screaming when the Ten Commandments are displayed or the Creationist idea of monogamy from the book of Genesis is introduced.

The latter (Genesis) also ruins the illogical and non-biological arguments of homosexual monogamy. In a secular sense, homosexuality is an idolatry of perversion. It is in no way an anatomical function of the human organism, but a phantasmagoric creation from within the mentally disturbed human mind, a social psychosis, naked and on full exhibitionist display.

This is the whole crux of their attack on creationism - - they are really frustrated by Genesis, but cannot destroy the axiomatic state of procreant human biology, it does not fit their religious agenda.

Homosexual monogamy advocates seek ceremonious sanctification of their anatomical perversions and esoteric absolution for their guilt-ridden, impoverished egos.

Neither of those will satisfy their universal dissatisfaction with mortality or connect them to something eternal. With pantheons of fantasies as their medium of infinitization, they still have nothing in them of reality, any more than there is in the things that seem to stand before us in a dream.

Homosexual deviancy is really a pagan practice (and a self-induced social psychosis) at war with the Judaic culture over what is written in the book of Genesis (1:27, 2:18).

This is exactly what the National Socialists were at war with... so, when someone uses the term "Gaystapo," they might not realize how close to the truth they really are.

Many will seek ceremonious sanctification and esoteric absolution in some type of marriage rite, but that still fails to give them a connection to the eternal in both a religious and temporal, procreant sense - - the union does not produce offspring.

Dissatisfaction with inevitable mortality only feeds the impoverishment of the ego further. Homosexuals really hate human life; their whole desire is rooted in the destruction of it... The war against Genesis continues on many fronts...

Hillary says young blacks should start at the bottom and work hard.

They need to be taught that having children out of wedlock is morally and culturally incorrect.

I disagree. Both males and females need to be taught the CREATING children out-of wedlock is morally and culturally incorrect.

After the child has been created, it is never morally incorrect to "have" him.

This is an important distinction.

***Out of 580 students who have made honor roll 3 times or more, only one "African" American male was there.****

Didn't you get the memo??
It's because THE MAN has kept them down.
Distinguishing an "Honor Roll" is OBVIOUSLY racist, since blacks can't be expected to perform at the same levels.

Better to dumb down EVERYBODY, and prepare them for the Welfare System. That way they'll ALWAYS be Democrat Voters, and we'll be able to decide what's best for them...

Signed.
The DNC.....

Not all black people think this way. I am an African American who came from a stable two parent household. My father owned his own business and worked hard and we never took welfare. All of my siblings and I went to college and are successful employed adults now.

I do feel bad for the future generations. It seems that single motherhood is the norm. I blame the liberals with their govn't programs.

Agreed. I work with some really cool guys who happen to be black. They are simply excellent at what they do. They also get my "Monty Python" references when we joke back and forth on email. Doesn't that automatically disqualify them from "being black"? ; )

Anyways, it's in the poorer communities where this article tends to be most accurate. It also applies to other racial groups in the cavelier attitude towards the importance of marriage and family. Liberal attitudes corrupt society for all types of Americans, not just blacks.

Bingo.

I say give them all $100,000 each and send them back to Africa if they have that attitude. In ten years, we'll be ahead just on welfare payments. Taking into account medical care (childbirth, gunshot wounds, overdoses, diabetes, kidney problems, heart disease), payback may be really less than six months.

I disagree. I think that these boys and girls need to learn that creating and HAVING out of wedlock children is wrong. And that when they do HAVE an out of wedlock child, it is NOT a meal ticket but instead, will be take from them and adopted.

When you ask them what they are going to become they have no answer.

I encounter this routinely in working with young black males out of juvenile detention. It is clear that they have never projected into the future, say, six weeks down the road, much less farther. The very idea of setting goals and working toward them seems alien to them. I attribute this to a lack of hope and I attribute that hopelessness to the universally f*cked up families of origin which sent them out into the streets without a clue in the first place.

It is heartwrenching to see a healthy, strong, attractive, reasonably intelligent 17 year old, who could be working and receiving mentoring, whiling away his days "jus' chillin'" and waiting for lightning to hit the sh&t-house.

I teach in a school that is about 99% black and everything you've said is correct. On Thursday, one of my seniors told me "Man, you guys follow the rules waaay too much". I happen to be a white female. I'm currently looking for employment in school districts where the population tends to follow the rules way too much. Oh, the stories I could tell you.

I heard Clarence Thomas speak to my daughter's elementary school class. He is a truly great Supreme Court justice. I wish there were more great Americans like him.

"The self segregation noted in the article will destroy black America"

But I thought all blacks wanted INTEGRATION. At least, that is what the RAT/lib/socialists of the 60's told me. LBJ and the Kennedys couldn't be wrong! (sarc)
