this post lowkey reminds me of eugenics 
matter of fact this is kind similar to how in the past in certain parts of the south they would sterilize poor black women and even today how the california prison system forcibly sterilizes many back female inmates. ironically white feminists have nothing to say about those two particular situations but that's an issue for another thread
in a roundabout way OP and those cosigning him are really advocating for a world in which people's ability to reproduce is dictated by socioeconomic status
I find it ironic that these points of view are supposedly being espoused on a "black" website
some, if not all of us here have relatives and/or ancestors who's incomes don't come near this magic benchmark financially where it's ok to reproduce
there have been an innumerable amount of people born into less than 'ideal' circumstances and managed to live productive lives. did some of them end up being pieces of shyt? probably, but there's also probably the same percentage of people born into rich families who end up pieces of shyt.
OP's way of thinking is elitist at best
and something much more sinister at it's worst.

What about rich people/inventors who were born in poor families?If their parents never had kids, the world would have missed out on what they contributed to society.
This is kinda stupid. You spend your whole life working/owning a business and you decide NOT to have kids...you basically end your bloodline, for what? Material possessions. :userious:To each his own I guess.
Social mobility is becoming less commonplace. Less than 30 percent of people move out of poverty in their lifetime.
I'm not putting that much effort into this post.
Education, proper nutrition, and opportunity all cost money.

True...but the difference back then is that they all had them with the same man or woman and all lived in the same house and contributed to the family staying above water...today tho
Thid question randomly popped up in my head while i was talking to a coworker of mine. He was talking about his new child about to be born. He was excited and rightfully so but i thought about our salary at this job and i was like
Go over to the Philippines/Asian Countries, the Middle East and these Hispanic/Latin countries and ask the same question.
30k over there is like 200,000
The level of tone-deafness in TLR is amazing sometimesLove these pseudo eugenics threads on here.
Leave it to these dudes, and we'd legit be extinct in a generation

Goddamn this thread gave me a headache
Some of you cats have a weird way of associating poor with Black.in a roundabout way OP and those cosigning him are really advocating for a world in which people's ability to reproduce is dictated by socioeconomic status
Irrespective of race, it should be apparent by now that some people, for all intents and purposes, are grown-up versions of children. Even if they were to have access to condoms or any other preventative methods that place responsibility on the user, the complaint would probably be: "but, but it feels so good without a condom" or "the effects associated with birth control." Now, a few months later, a new child is into the world that neither individual really wanted nor can either individual adequately provide for the child. Then, the cycle repeats itself. By definition, poor people are typically parasites. Children born to poor parents who manage to beat the odds are statistically insignificant. 
The family dynamics were different back then. You didn't have people waiting to have kids like they do now. People were getting married at 18. People are more career driven now than ever before. There were also far, far fewer single parent households than than there are now.
