Did I say anything like that? Nah. I just described Marxism as it’s practiced. You respond with accusations of racism and wing nuttery. It’s called projection. Have a nice day. |
Totally agree. Just adding my 2 cents to let folks know that YES...BELIEVE IT OR NOT there are A LOT of Black couples out here some are married, some are common law but there are A LOT of them out here who are raising their kids together. People on here act like a Black nuclear family is the Loch Ness Monster or something. Are y'all telling me you've never been to a restaurant or stayed at a hotel or just went to the damn store and seen a Black family? Really? |
The dumbing down of America. You really see it in the schools. Lets give every kid a trophy. |
| Lyndon Johnson did more to destroy the Black family than BLM could ever aspire to in the wildest fantasies. |

No AA male on the board of BLM? No AA businessman?
No AA pastor? No AA athlete? No AA entertainer? |
NP +1 I'm half expecting to see some sort of announcement about how having your father in prison is a good thing for the kids because it teaches them not to expect anything from anyone. |

OP is being intentionally obtuse.
BLM wants to crate a world where broader kinship relationships are on equal footing with the nuclear family. The two-parent two-kids model shouldn’t be held up as the gold standard. |
|
That’s right.
No AA male on the board of BLM and George Floyd’s family doesn’t give a shit. No AA businessman and Breonna Taylor’s family doesn’t give a shit. No AA pastor and Ahmaud Arbery‘s family doesn’t give a shit. No AA athlete and Eric Garner’s family doesn’t give a shit. No AA entertainer and Black people don’t give a shit. Surprised? |
DP. It's not "like" that, it actually is that. Just look at what happened with metro fare evasion. We can't stop it, oh and we don't like the statistics, no worries, let's eliminate the statistics since those things aren't crimes anymore, great, much better....

We can read enough threads here on DCUM to see that even middle class white women aren’t served well by the two-parent household model as it currently exists. My FB feed is full of women quitting their jobs this week because their family lives hundreds of miles away and they don’t have childcare this fall. |
Actually, when this model has been proven time and time again to lead to better outcomes for children across every single metric (academic outcomes, emotional health, physical health, poverty levels, college rates, high school graduation rates, crime rates, etc) then yes, sane people would say that it's reasonable to hold this up as the gold standard. |
And being in the middle of an unprecedented GLOBAL pandemic surely doesn't have anything to do with that, right?

Not when you still have to put food on the table. |
But but but Trump! |
OP here. Absolutely not being “intentionally obtuse”. Just trying to get a better understanding before I call it out as bullsh!t. Which I now can do with a clear conscience. A two parent household IS the gold standard - it has many many benefits. But if it warms the cockles of your heart to say that having 7 kids and 7 baby daddies is just as good, have at it. But research - and I dare say most people with a shred of common sense - disagrees with you. |
