The Truth
If Black parents aren't raising their own Black children, how can you possibly be shocked that they aren't running out to adopt Black children that aren't biologically theirs?

:lupe:

Don't pretend like these are two separate issues

This is true, but I think it has to do more with economics. Most Black folks can't take on another mouth to feed in these times, especially due to the fact that there are a lot of single parent households....Its like a catch 22

The bigger problem is that black people don't want to adopt black children.

The bigger problem is Black people not raising their own children. ~72% of Black children are raised in single parent homes.


At the risk of turning this discussion into something it's not, these are a few of the reasons I don't condemn the amount of Black abortions going on.

Why birth more Black lives into a situation so awful when things are already harder for us?

Because we have black families in middle to upper middle close homes who never adopt either breh.

Abortion was used as a means of genocide breh. It has nothing to do with the black experience and everything to do with eugenics and white supremacy.

I mean Black folks are not saying that they don't want the child just because, their is a specific reason as I stated.

Yes I'm serious.

I don't think blacks as a whole are interested enough for economics to be a factor. But that's just one man's opinion.

Somebody has to be uncomfortable and it shouldn’t be the child. ... Your child should not be your first black friend. That’s the bottom line. If you don’t know no black people, why are you trying to bring one to your home?”

While I agree with the first bolded...The fukk is this with the second? It's a prerequisite now to 'know' us in order to raise an adopted black child?

I'm gonna get back to this and read through it some.

Then just get some kids, get some documents. Move them in, call them your kids and enroll them in school. People who kidnap kids do it all the time :ehh:

The reasons in the article don't apply to me because I live in a black city. I don't have to worry about cacs in Atlanta breh. Everywhere I go I see black faces. Everywhere.

Well that along with actually even knowing about the situation as a whole. You let a large segment see the dire situation these Black kids are in, they may even change their tune today......:manny:

Like I said in the thread about giving back to the hood, black people really don't care about other black people like that, especially those who are less fortunate.

I do see what you are saying. I am talking about as a whole not just Atlanta or just you though.
