Rhum Runner,
Gotta cover for kambuckta here. In some cities, counties, and municipalities, a slanderous term such as calling someone a nigger, wop, kike, heeb, slope, gook, spade, greaser, hymie, (er…sorry, got carried away) can get you a freakin’ fine (in Sumter County, it can get you a $10 fine first offense, not much cash but think of the time you’d have to waste if you wanted to argue your case in front of that cracker, the honorable Judge Tindall) or jail time, or court ordered racial sensativity classes. So, in some places, yep, nigger is illegal.
But in getting back to the question at hand, I personally believe that this is a matter of personal responsability. To be frank (and this is an unpopular view) the entirety of our welfare state (Medicare/Medicade, Social Security, AFDC, education, disability and the like) is unconstitutional and illegal. Why in God’s name do we put up with bullshit like this which is not written ANYWHERE in the Constitution and should exist, if at all, as one of the powers granted to the states as provided for under the Tenth Ammendment? I am sick and tired of seeing my paycheck docked 30% because of the necessity of watching welfare mothers of all colors breed without constraint and then NOT do anything.
I visited a friend of mine (a chic named Kelly, runs a small resturant on Sumter’s Liberty Street named “Soul Food”,) in which I mentioned this thread. She related a tale to me about one time when she was working two minimum wage jobs to care for her two kids. Because their father left, and HIS NAME WAS ON THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE, she was unable to qualify for public assistance, citing the fact that he should be paying child support. No arguement there, except for the fact that he was in prison for attempted murder (he tried to kill Kelly, which is what caused him to ‘leave.’) A patron of hers who was also in the resturant overheard us and said, “See Ms. Kelly, that’s where you went wrong. I get mine because I couldn’t name the daddy.” (No cracks here, but this was a black woman who was wearing a Nike running suit with matching shoes, had all the ‘bling bling’ on her neck, ears, and fingers, and had FOUR fat assed children sitting at the same table. Again, I say no cracks, because Sumter is an anomoly with a black majority living in the town.)
Where is the personal responsablity? You’re not a victim, and society owes you absolutely jack shit. No, we don’t even owe you THAT! Gimmie my goddamned tax money back, and keep your damn legs closed. Hell, having a child is a proactive choice. You have to FUCK to get PREGNANT. How hard is it not to have sex? Oh, but you want to have it? Sooo…is there some goddamned driving biological need that you must get a penis in you right now or you’ll die? Are you in fucking HEAT?! Because if you can’t control yourself, well, then you’re a dog, or a cat, or a roach or some other lower life form. And, please, don’t forget that we spay and nuter our lower life forms whos offspring we can’t take care of. BUT! I hope that isn’t the case, because I see you’ve got (most) of the same body parts as I do, ten fingers, ten toes, two legs, two eyes, and speak marginal english. You’re HUMAN, right? Soooo…can’t you shut your legs? Or must we send you to the vet?
Anyway, now I’m going to go run a mile. This shit’s got me all worked up.
