Why are there so many Single Moms in the Black Community

[THE GRANDJURY]

Is it the woman fault for letting niggas go raw no pullout or is it that our brothers are some scared lil bitches to take care of the kids.


Intelligent Answers Please

Because I believe other groups mostly frown upon having children until financially and mentally ready. If there daughters dare get pregnant they are rushed to the abortion clinic. Our woman who choose to do this are generally raised by there mothers only, and hide behind the bullshit that this child is a blessing. They celebrate and throw baby showers, while others abort. Now to the sensitive people on this board, this is my opinion, you're not going to change it, and this is a generalization. I already know there are others in different racial groups that have kids to young too. But we do appear to do it more then others

Edin explains that the pregnancies she studied very often were due to the decision by the mother to forgo birth control without the knowledge of the father, because motherhood will gain her status:

Pretty soon, the women are skipping doses of the pill or letting the patch or other forms of contraception lapse. Why? In these communities, motherhood often exerts a strong pull on young women’s hearts and minds and weakens their motivation to avoid pregnancy. Being a mom serves as the chief source of meaning and identity in neighborhoods where significant upward mobility is rare.

It is overall a surprisingly good article, especially coming from a feminist organization. Edin recognizes that it is the mothers who are the ones who decide the structure of the family and if the father is to be involved beyond just a paycheck.
