Obama, Lay Off Black Fathers!

You’re mistaken, Hutchinson. Obama may be a fraud, but if he gives an impression that blacks are experiencing the destruction of the family, he’s simply not wrong there. Single parenting in the urban black community is created by generational influences of welfare dependency and the federal incentives that pay parents to be single — it’s called welfare “reform” and it dates from the Clinton Administration. This Orwellian federal influence actually creates huge incentives for walk-away fathering by way of a modified mothering that partners her with the State, and not with the father.

You may want to read Stephen Baskerville’s “Taken Into Custody”, you may want to research Title IV-D of the welfare act, and you may want to change your perspective about the destruction not just of the black family, but of the family in general. It’s very big government business and on that matter, even if as the broken clock he is, Obama is correct.
