This sounds like some shyt a THOT says on FB. Doing some Ho-flecting out here

Blaming and shaming is necessary so people who could potentially be in that situation in the future WONT BE! If shame isn't attached to something then people are more likely to do it.

Yeah, right. Narcissists are very eager to blame and shame other groups, but get hostile when that scrutiny is directed towards themselves. Im sure you get angry when white people blame and shame black men for their rates of incarceration, lack of educational attainment, and rates of violence and you'll no doubt counter that these outcomes are born from the forces of centuries of anti-black bias, and yet you guys always fail to extend this to black women and single motherhood. Apparently racism has NOTHING to do with their circumstances --- they're just bad people who need to be "shamed".

Well if you want to be real, black male/white women unions have very low levels of stability, and high rates of out of wedlock outcomes ( I guess black women arent the only ones who dont know how to pick "good" black men). Additionally, black women/ white male unions feature high levels of stability. You see a common denominator form here. Thats why you're so interested in shaming black women --- to deflect from very problematic stats concerning black men.

So you have to ask yourself a real tough question, are single moms the problem or are dads not being in the picture the problem, and an arguably larger issue.

As man, I hope that eventually in each man's life he realizes he ultimately should be the leader and not create situations where he isn't in his child's life, extenuating circumstances aside.

Both. "Single" parenting in itself is not the problem, because there are many couples that co-parent or have functional relationships and live together, but just aren't married. The issue is men who actively engage in raw sex but somehow feel when a child is created, they aren't responsible to properly parent it. The issue is when a woman keeps a man from a child he helped create because he doesn't want to be in a relationship with her or uses her pregnancy and child for financial leverage.

I will also say that the MAJORITY of children raised in single parent households are successes. We are no more or less successful than our peers who had two parents. It's those who are raised in poverty i.e the "hood or ghetto" that suffer and can be considered "failures".

Quit letting the media shape your view of the single black mother, we don't all live for welfare and child support and are traipsing around a housing project near you. Also with divorce rates being so high what do you call white, divorced, parents raising their children by themselves? fukking single parents is what you call them.

But when it's time to shame black men you nikkas get defensive and start with the deflections

Blame and shame is cool as long as it's not directed at you huh

Sometimes relationships don't work out:yeshrug:. I don't think it's fair to put all the pressure and vitriol towards the mother. You attract what you are. If a single mother is irresponsible ( heavy theme by Coli memebers), that must mean these fathers are just as irresponsible. I don't know the affect of single parenthood in relations to their offspring, so I'll just fall back. But the vitriol just seems unwarranted.

Now this women said something I finding hard to believe.



Over a quarter (26 percent) of all undergraduate students, or 4.8 million students, are raising dependent children.1 Women are disproportionately likely to be balancing college and parenthood, many without the support of a spouse or partner. Women make up 71 percent of all student parents, and roughly 2 million students, or 43 percent of the total student parent population, are single mothers. Single student fathers make up 11 percent of the student parent population

Is this true? I've met one single mother at my university and she was in graduate school. I didn't know this was prevalent in our community.

Black women are the leaders of Black America. This isn't a patriarchal structure anymore, my friend.
