Only a few black women who are middle or upper class are simply opting out. That is just not supported by stats or real life. Most women aren't opting out to childbirth... most want kids.
This is not true. There are more childless 20-30 something year old black women than ever before. IF you look at the education and socio-economic levels of these women you will see a pattern: They tend to be middle/upper class. They tend to be some of the most educated women.
I was on a blog where several black women, all of whom said they were 20 something career professional, said they did NOT want children. They didn't say they don't want children right now. They said they don't want children period.
One of the main reasons why the declining black birthrate is alarming to black nationalist is because the women in the best position to raise and care for children are opting out of childbirth. That IS the area of contention. If these women were doing their part to add to the birthrate people would not bytch and complain as much about the abortion rate.
Most poor and single women... do have abortions but they also have children. Real life and stats show this as well... the majority of the women at abortion clinics will either have children withing the next 3 years or are currently single moms.
I'm not arguing poor and single women don't have children. I'm pointing out the reality that most abortions are coming from these women.
And you can't say black middle class single women are opting out of the responsibility and then say they are more likely to adopt. The do adopt - most aren't opting out.
I said many are opting out AND many are adopting. This group is capable of doing either/or you know?
You statement about what black men don't do..... and what white men do was just ridiculous, btw.
If you think it's a lie, I direct you to your nearest inner city. shyt, I direct you to the comments black men have made right here on this board. Have you ever seen a group of men so happy to have their children aborted???
Really everything your saying seems to attack black men and hype of myths about black women and middle class working black women. Truth is the majority of women under 30 have children out of wedlock and the rate of all racial groups in the middle and upper classes having out of wed lock children increases every year. More than 2/3 of children born are born to mothers under 30.... so that means that most of the black and white middle class women aren't opting out or adopting.
^^^This is a straw argument filled with emotional nonsense. The majority of women don't have children. The majority of children born in this world aren't born out of wedlock (where the hell you get this bullshyt). Even the 2/3 stat you quoted (misquoted is my guess) is bullshyt. 2/3 of children being born to women under 30 doesn't mean that they are 1). Are coming from middle class black women (often they are not) 2). They are coming from "most" black women...again just because 72% of black children are born out of wedlock doesn't mean 72% of black women have children.
which still far outpaces whites.
