“Ghetto Ho Baby Mamas” By Kay Hymowitz
Kay Hymowitz is obsessed with black women, but not in a good, lesbianatical, brown-sugar kind of way. No, Hymowitz has made a career out of screaming, at every available opportunity, about the shameful number of unwed Negro mothers and their bastard spawn, and how this is the cause of everything that’s wrong with black culture from rap music to low-riding pants to Jeremiah Wright.
Not surprisingly, then, an article in the New York Times headlined “2-Parent Black Families Showing Gains” has Hymowitz fussing and fuming over at America’s Shittiest Website™ about how this is yet another attempt by the liberal media to, er, whitewash indisputable evidence of the inferiority of the Negro race:
The New York Times headline “2-Parent Black Families Showing Gains,” Wednesday seemed like great news. … After decades of decline, more black kids are finally growing up with their mothers and fathers!
Alas, check out the third paragraph of the piece: “The Census Bureau attributed an indeterminate amount of the increase to revised definitions adopted in 2007, which identify as parents any man and woman living together, whether or not they are married or the child’s biological parents.” What the data is [sic] really saying, it turns out, is that more black children are living with a woman who may or may not be their mother, and a man who either may or may not be their father, and may or may not be married to the woman who may or may not be their mother.
This kind of razor sharp analysis is why Hymowitz is on the wingnut dole at the Manhattan Institute. Because the data aren’t saying that at all. A change in the definition of parents to include cohabiting couples resulted in the increase in the number of parents; it didn’t — and couldn’t — increase the number of children with cohabiting parents. Here’s a simple way to explain it. If I change the definition of “annoying asswipe” from anyone on the payroll of the National Review to anyone on the payroll of the National Review or the Manhattan Institute, that will increase the number of annoying asswipes in the world. It will not, however, increase the number of people who are on the payroll of the Manhattan Institute.
It will not, however, increase the number of people who are on the payroll of the Manhattan Institute.
No need for it to do so. They breed (in a figurative sense) like rabbits.
That would be Kay Hymowitz of Hymietown.
She says: Despite the fact that they are at reduced risk of poverty, on most measures children living with stepfathers are no better off than those growing up with single mothers.
Well, call me crazy but “reduced risk of poverty” seems like it might be exactly one of those things that “better off” means.
Some them are married but have no wedding rings, others no engagement ring. They have a long way to go, clearly.
Plus, “children living with stepfathers” are 2-parent families by the definition of “stepfather”… her larger problem is that she thinks some families are less equal than others; I’m surprised she even wrote the article because it’s clear she doesn’t actually care one whit what the census says, or what it means for children, except that she thinks it’s bad that some women don’t stay with their impregnators.
I heard a rumour once that white peoples sometimes divorce and re-marry and expose their children to the inimical influence of non-biological parents. Can you help scotch this vicious canard?
It was eminently clear from her writing that this woman is ugly on the inside.
If Clif had not been so kind (?) as to provide a picture, we would not have known that this woman is ugly on the outside as well.
As per the previous thread on Prager, when will black people apologize for not being white?
I am surprised that no-one is demanding mandatory DNA testing within all families. Who knows how many “biological fathers”, as stated on the birth certificate, are not the real sources of half the child’s DNA, and are merely providing love and security and nurture?
She may also want to consider that a much higher percentage of African Americans live in poverty than for whites or the population as a whole – owing to ongoing racial discrimination. Her conservative forebearers refused to allow welfare or any other form of public assistance to be paid to “able-bodied” men. This might have an impact on the numbers of single parent household. (This also applies to poor whites.)
I heard a rumour once that white peoples sometimes divorce and re-marry and expose their children to the inimical influence of non-biological parents. Can you help scotch this vicious canard?
I am afraid it is true. I did it to my son (several times) and now he has done it to his children and his second wife’s children. Of course both he and his wife are only half white, so maybe they do not count.
Is it worth noting that part of the reason there are “so many” single african-american moms raising their children is that expectant single african-american women are not, unlike their white counterparts, heavily targeted by the adoption industry and bombarded with advice to give up their healthy white babies to more “deserving” women who, coincidentally, pay said agency tens of thousands of dollars for the service?
Why are there so many african-american single moms? Because nobody’s figured out the right marketing strategy to make their kids commoditizable yet. Bad moms!
Sorry to keep on this, but if on most measures children living with stepfathers are no better off than those growing up with single mothers is a statement of fact, and one doesn’t have some sort of tiny-brained and hard-hearted agenda to forward regardless of reality, isn’t one forced to conclude that on average single mothers are doing a pretty fanfuckingtastic job? Why, one mother is nearly as good as TWO regular parents, except for that terribly unimportant poverty issue! God damn, I hate this woman.
She seems like a thoroughly despicable person.
A while back, I decided that in the interest of becoming a better person, I would try to find something nice to say about everyone who came to my attention. This new policy only lasted about a day, but I do occasionally sort of randomly try to abide by it.
(thinking really hard.)
Nope, can’t come up with a thing. Oh! Wait! I do kind of like the choker she’s wearing. Judging from her expression, it’s doing its job. Or is it the stick up her ass that makes her look like that? Or the bile boiling up from the center of her chest where her heart should be?
That’s not a choker, those are the stitch-marks after she got the head transplant. Donor: Abby something.
Of course, by “better off” this woman means “more white.”
What if they’re living with two “daddies”??!? Oh MAN would that put a bee in her bonnet.
She’s loathsome on every level.
Donor: Abby something
Dr F: Do you mean to tell me I put an abnormal brain into a crazy mean, racist, ugly inside and out body? Is that what you’re telling me?

Candy: If you really want to apply your policy to Hymnowicz, she did write a fairly amusing article about Paris Hilton. Other than that, she seems like a waste of oxygen.
Damn WordPress. The URL of the Paris Hilton article, if anyone cares, is http://www.city-journal.org/html/16_4_urbanities-paris_hilton.html

Dammit. I was going to ask where the heinously is located.
I was going to ask where the heinously is located.

The end of all arguments.
Paris Hilton is still probably a slightly better person that our featured battleaxe. At least she likes animals. Kay looks like she’d eat puppies for breakfast.
Paris also has a sense of humor, or at least one of her PR people has one. That political commercial she did was funny. It’s not enough to make me like her, but it’s more than k-ho has done. Also, her fake preznit advice video with Martin Sheen is funny and smart as well.
Damn, I can’t believe I’m saying nice things about Paris Hilton. I’m going to go lie down for a while, maybe read The Mortorcycle Diaries or something.

I also think that Ms. Battleaxe is uncalled for.
Yeah, but at least we’re consistent about it.
True. And say what you like about “gutter-minded psychological squalor”, at least it’s an ethos.

Holy Jesus Fucking Cow Mackerel these self-righteous blowhards get on my very last nerve. It’s like they could never be happy unless EVERYONE were white heterosexual married having sex only in the missionary position once a month solely for procreation’s sake, and even then they’d still be miserable shitheads because they’d have nothing else to be whiny and judgmental and holier-than-thou about. Fuck her and everyone she’s ever known in her whole useless life.

And she’s absolutely right. Divorce is the number one problem facing traditional marriage today; even St. Rick Warren says so. That’s why we in California are doing all we can to eliminate this threat to traditional marriage and families:

No need. It was just a drill.
When, oh when, will black women repay their debt to society by becoming the birth mothers of white snowflake babies?
If the increase in children living with two “parents” is due, for instance, to a growth in the percentage of mothers cohabiting temporarily with their boyfriends, then “raising” is another bit of dissembling.
And what if the “father” is Adolf Hitler? Or worse yet, Jeremiah Wright?
You get free phantom divisions defending Berlin from the Russians!
That’s a helluva petition:
Yes, think of the children… but what if there aren’t any children? Think of the dog, I suppose.
Since their attention span is the length of a gnat’s digestive tract, I suppose they missed all the decades of misery that led to the present system of no-fault divorce.
The “priest says I have to stay with him even though both arms are broken” days.
The “send the children to boarding school to get them away from the fighting” days.
The “volunteer for adultery” days.
And, yes, the “kill them and make it look like a prowler” days.
Those nostalgic wingnuts! The stuff they want to bring back.
What’s so odd about Barack Obama is his extreme sense of self-confidence, matched with his extreme lack of experience. It seems as if Obama is utterly convinced he can do no wrong, and that Destiny is on his side. “Do you ever have any doubts?” asked a TV interviewer early on. “Never!” said the O with his big, trademark smile.
That’s not rational. Anybody who harbors no doubts about doing the toughest job in the world, the job that makes you a scapegoat for all the ills your enemies can dig up, and one which visibly ages all its occupants — anybody without doubts about that isn’t thinking like an adult. Instead, he is starring in his own, child-like fantasy world.
That is what Men of Destiny do. Lenin had it, Napoleon had it, and George S. Patton had it . Probably Ahmadinejad has it, too. They have no humility, and they feel justified in sacrificing others for the higher good they are convinced they know.

How nice of another Truth sockpuppet to stop by.
We get it, dude. You’re not a fan of those people. Duly noted. 10-4. Now scram.
So DrDick, you stated the obvious, that more black people live in poverty than whites, without for one minute even thinking about the cause of their poverty.
You see, out of poor life choices, poverty is reaped. Did you know that over 70% of black children are born out of wedlock? Most black children are raised without a father in the home, as I believe the undeserved target of today’s smear mentioned in her article.
Without a positive male role-model to look up to, black children than turn to not so positive male role-models, such as gangsta rappers. Eventually many of these same black children grow up to become gang members and drug dealers, costing the taxpayer millions of dollars in incarceration fees and welfare checks.
What can reverse this harmful trend you might be thinking? The answer, black men living up to their responsibilities and talking a hand in raising their children. Teach their children values of faith, patriotism, hard work and individual responsibility. Instead of leaving their kids to wander the streets, take them fishing or to a ball game. Encourage them to stay away from drugs and gangs, and to grow into patriotic, hardworking American citizens.
Its not rocket science, its merely common sense. But DrDick, like most liberals, instead of acknowledging the obvious, would rather make exuses for the criminal and irresponsible behavior of many of our nations inner-city blacks. They blame “racism”, and “slavery”, and “segregation”, for the condition many inner-city blacks are in today. They say the solution is affirmative action, which in essence is more racism, only againist whites, and reperations for slavery.
As long as exuses are made for irresponsible and criminal behavior, the problems facing America’s inner-city blacks will never be solved.
Also, how nice of you to post the same exact message in two different comment threads. What is with your DrDick obsession, anyway?
If a bunch of hypothetical stuff happens you libs will sure look foolish.

You’ll be disappointed, but “no big deal, change can’t come overnight” will be your comment. Florida will go red, and a little nervousness will creep in. The usual suspects will fall into the usual categories. As the night drags on, Ohio, Colorado, and (much to your horror) Pennsylvania will be too close to call.
My advice at this point to you will be to go to bed. You will wake up to a McCain presidency and the Great Liberal Freakout will be on.

Way to steal, Matt. Interestingly enough, the only references I find Googling “do you ever have any doubts” Obama are folks discussing that article or McCain’s “The One” ad… no context or cite for the original quote. Maybe the big O was talking about JESUS, you ever think about that?

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
You people are clearly not appreciating the important role played by Good Patriot American conservatives in keeping a continuous, painful eye on all the problems caused by the blacks. Sure, it’s a thankless job, but if they didn’t do it, then people might not go around insulting and whining about blacks all the time. Would you want that?

I thought Bush was still president. McCain doesn’t get sworn in until January.
Let me guess, she ends by wrapping this up in a pretty Barack HUSSEIN Obama is Not Fit to be President bow.
Hi, I’m liberal election predictions. Let’s see how accurate I am.
1) Diebold machines will steal the election. 2) Bush will cancel the election.
The thing you’ll find about liberals is that sometimes we’re really happy to be wrong.
Oh yeah, sure…that’s not THE TRUTH posting under different names. Never mind that he says the exact same fucking thing as THE TRUTH and has the exact same fucking obsession with DrDick. The obsession with flipping the characters from the Jena 6 (and mischaracterizing the whole incident, but never mind that) isn’t a giveaway or anything.
That and the inability to stay on fucking topic for once.
One of the cool things about wingnut welfare is that you get to make the same god-damned stupid argument over and over again no matter how wrong it is and still get paid.
Or, y’know, you could announce your station to the world by making ’em for free…
That and the inability to stay on fucking topic for once.

“Theres (sic) only one problem: without God, there can be no moral choice. Without God, there is no capacity for free will. ”

Hi, I’m liberal election predictions. Let’s see how accurate I am.

There seemed to be a great proliferation of these predictions in the comments threads of various blogs in the lead-up to the 2006 mid-term (not so much in 2008). The general theme was “Don’t bother voting! Your vote won’t be counted anyway!”
Bad person that I am, I wasn’t always convinced about the sincerity of the commenters’ concern or their claims to be left-wing.

Not even the roaches that infest the mammoth pile of empty Cheeto bags respect you. Your parents hate you. You have no friends, except for skinny-ass Bob Owens. You commiserate with Confederate Wankoff for a few reasons…because you were both disrespected throughout life, because you hate black people, etc. And…that’s it. Not even fucking Glenn Reynolds would like a shitstain like you. After all, you’re better at the act than he is.
Here’s a prediction, dickless: Obama will win the election. Said here many times…but never by you. Aww….look at your tiny penis get even smaller!
Cite something or eat your own asshole, fucknut.
Yay! You win! Somehow!
How about that, vagina…if we all tell you that you won, will you finally sulk back to Confederate Shithead and fuck the fuck off? Will you finally eat shit and die? Will you finally leave us the fuck alone?
No?
Well, then, no. You don’t win. You lost, badly, got caught with your pants down in gym class messing yourself behind the bleachers, thinking about Michelle Obama. Or Bob Owens naked. Who knows, cares. And once again, the punishment will be just and long…long as in how big my unit is once I lay the fucking fuck out of your mother, while my pals are giving you the wedgie of your life.

He is totally mesmerized and enamored of my totally manly masculinity so that it sends a tingle up his leg. The fact that I am unattainably heterosexual just adds to his fervor. Like all wingnuts he is energized by the pursuit of wild fantasies and demented dreams.
Bad person that I am, I wasn’t always convinced about the sincerity of the commenters’ concern or their claims to be left-wing.
That occurred to me, too. It depended on the venue – over at places like FDL, I didn’t have any trouble believing it was sincere. It’s weird how a site that’s that activist has so many fretful wilters participating.
Feck! Without God, I could not have made the moral choice to be an atheist!

Penicillin came into common use in the 1930’s.
Actually not until the 1940s, but sulfa drugs were in common use at that time and almost as effective.

Goddammit
Oh, I get it now. Not really snarky enough on first presentation for people to get it… and the wingnuts are unbothered by hypocrisy.
I mean, if Brittney Spears has not destroyed marriage, it’s pretty indestructible.
far less important to liberals than the rights of a gang of batterers placed in prison for their felonies – all determined by the color of skin.
The congregation at my church (The Reformed Aryan Church of White Butte) is pushing legislation that would require all citizens to undergo genetic purity testing, so that those of the criminal (non-white) classes could be jailed proactively and preemptively. Come on folks, this is just common sense!
Actually, a couple of years ago a legislator here in the glorious border state introduced a bill along these same lines. IIRC it was a grandstanding gesture in response to one of the many, many, many anti-homo bits of legislation that come up for vote on a tiresomely regular basis in this way-red state. But in this case, the doofus was serious. Welcome to my world.
along the same lines as the smarty-pants petition thing, not RIM’s purity test thing. Then again, that’d be only because none o’ these ‘tards has thought of that one yet.
I do love the way they get things back-asswards.
People generally have a long marriage because it’s happy, and it works for them. But for the wingnuts, it would be the same if they just made it impossible to get a divorce–so you’ll have one, or else!
It’s right in line with their complaints that gay people lead such libertine lives, yet don’t want them to get married, while at the same time totally missing the point that if they want to get married and adopt children, they aren’t so libertine, are they?
I picture their minds as an untidy fridge full of knockoff Tupperware containers. Nothing touches anything else, and a lot of it, you don’t want to remove the lid.
WereBear: What a great analogy. And in that big white fridge there are no takeout containers from PanAsian, Messican, Indian, vegemetarian or any other smelly weirdo eateries to contaminate the iceburg lettuce or Kraft® Amurikan cheese-like products.
Ack! You are so right. My last trip to the upper Midwest brought home to me how spoiled I am with NY food, even here in the hinterlands.

And they make sure there are no latte sippers, because the cream is powdered, and the coffee is powdered. If powdered sugar was dissolvable, they would go for that, too.
Cheese from a can.
But, credit where it’s due, great ham, and killer pie.
@Dan Someone: There’s a story to put a spring in your step.
The Agitator is a scary fucking site. Probably the nastiest story I’ve read there involved a raid on what was supposed to be a small-time dealer. They hit the wrong house (natch) and the police tank they brought rammed and partially crushed the family car with the mother and her daughter still inside. Neither was hurt, fortunately, though the SWAT team did shoot the dog on the way out (again, natch – they pretty much always shoot the dog in these botched attempts).
There was another fun story about a small police department showcasing their latest acquisition – an assault vehicle armed with a belt-fed, 50-caliber machine gun. Who are expecting to run into, Manuel Noriega?
Damn, for a second i thought that picture was Steven Tyler again.
She looks a lot like an old guy dressing like an old lesbian.
Goal-post moving crew, you are being paged. Please stand by. We won’t consider this a “positive development” until all black children are being raised by dysfunctional two-parent families with a mother who is addicted to prescription name-brand painkillers (no, generics don’t count), and an alcoholic father who does not dare divorce his frigid, comatose wife because his boyfriend will tell his boss about how he is embezzling from his church!
Damn, that woman looks like the love-child of Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman.
