I dont believe this tells the entire story. And also lends itself as negative propaganda towards the black woman. No man in the house was just one of many rules they used to deny assistance to black women . So I dont believe any black woman back then would get rid of her loving husband for welfare benefits. For the simple fact you couldnt count on the welfare system to not discriminate. Finding a loophole to cut you off of assistance. And back then they also would deny black women who had b*stard children.
I think most would agree if they were stricter and downright crueler when it came to approving welfare today. It just might make women a little more agreeable. But as it stands there is a sense of comfortability on both sides. Comfort coming in the form of knowing "The European/system will take care of the child". On the baby mothers and fathers part,as well as the families belieiving this. Which is why there really is no pressure from families to work out a relationship.
Imagine if these families would be forced to take care of their daughters out of wedlock children. Bet you would get a lot more "" instead of "yaaasss" when women casually talk about leaving they baby father.
Also on a side note,out of wedlock rates are still high. But part of that is also that married black women dont pop out 5-10 kids for their husbands like they used to#SimplerTimes. Married black women are having fewer children than even married white women.
I know that YOU don't want to believe it, but you may want to do some homework and understand what took place in that period. Let's not be lazy, let's start understanding how we got here.
You are projecting, instead of researching the issue. There are documents and studies that indicates that black women were given the opportunity to get on welfare and the requirements that were needed to maintain this assistance from the gov't. There were marches that were had that had the black woman being placed in a position to go against their black men. You may wanna do your homework
You don't go from a 80% marriage rate to what we are now, because black men stop wanting to not be fathers anymore, something took place and you and many others need to know what happen.
There are posters on here who have already stated and gone into detail on what happen to the black family and who and what was the cause. Even today, do black men get assistance from the gov't?? Why don't they??
Black men do not get welfare assistance.
Wedlock children are born because of the woman. A child cannot be born unless a woman wants to have unprotected sex with a man. If a woman decides she doesn't want to have sex, you cannot have a baby unless you force yourself on her. Women control access to sex, that's why does pay for it.
Let's just say, if women that's 21 of age start to say, I won't have a baby until I get married, or I will get married first and then have my baby, how would things be??
Baby Mamas in 2022 is the norm, there was a time when a baby mama or having a baby out of wedlock, she put on blast, she was shamed, They even hid her, sent her down south, etc. It came with a dark cloud when a woman had a baby out of wedlock. These days, that's not the case, we need, as a community to get back to that point.
Women would become a baby mama first before they become a wife and that's a sad thing.
