(ThyBlackMan.com) In the last decade or so there’s been an increase in single black women getting on some type of government assistance program (SNAP, WIC, and Section 8). Now what has gone wrong is how so many of these single mothers are misusing these programs meaning they’re staying on for many, many years and we are praising, saluting, and rewarding the single mother mentality. Many of these women talk about how they’re doing things on their own. Here’s the truth of the matter NO they are not doing things on their own especially since they’re getting some type of help in getting food and shelter and necessities for their kids. Whereas the actual single mothers who are not out here trying to get over on the system are doing things the right way by going to school and raising the kids they already have and not continuing to have babies. At one point going back about 25 years single mothers were getting a check for every baby they had until the system put a stop to that and required them to get a part time job. Currently you’re seeing a lot of these broads not doing much in the way of trying to better their lives and weaning them off public aid.
Again it goes back to how single mothers are being rewarded for stupid foolery and yet they continue to keep this mess up. What these women don’t think about is how the government is helping to 
ease the burden for a single mother, but at the same time its putting stress on the tax payers who are footing the bills for these women having baby after baby. There’s no real explanation as to the number of black women who are just out here having babies everywhere with different fathers and they don’t marry half these men because they know that the majority of public assistance programs will stop if they have a husband which will indicate she has someone who can support her.
This also goes into the number of single mothers out here begging random men for money citing they need help and they can’t feed their kids. Some single mothers are now faced with being overwhelmed with kids they had with 3,4,5,6 different fathers and they get angry at the world for not helping them when they need to own up to their responsibility as to them not using birth control or any protection from an unexpected pregnancy.
Single black mothers are also the contributing factor in the next generation of hoodrats and thugs. The majority of the males and females who run in gangs are all products of single mothers. You hear them talk about how they’re independent, but the system should cut these women off and make them get jobs. They have gotten too comfortable with getting food stamps, WIC, and Section 8 because why should they get a job when it’s easier to get pregnant and they’ll get more money. This is the type of foolery black people who have sense get sick of seeing on a daily basis.
There’s no reason why you should be seeing women with 3 and 4 kids and pregnant with another one.Yet complain about how they got it hard when public aid is footing the bill for these women to put their kid(s) up in day care where someone who is not getting help is coughing up anywhere between $300-700 or more a month and that’s if you have 1-2 kids to have in day care. So how is that having it hard when the child care bill is covered by public aid? The amount of money that’s poured into putting a kid in day care is equal to someone’s monthly rent for a one bedroom apartment.
If that’s not crazy what isnt, but what is messed up are these single mothers who claim they have no money pay their bills and to feed their kids, but somehow come up with money to get their hair and nails done and buying stuff outside of their budgets. It’s when people speak out about this nonsense and how it’s hurting the community and hurting the real single mothers who are out here handling their business. Single black mothers who are actually doing something with their lives are not making excuses for the mistakes they made in having a child with someone who has nothing to offer them in terms of where that relationship is going and graduating from being a baby mama to being someone’s wife. A lot of single mothers also downplay marriage too which explains why so many of them are broke and desperate and begging random men for money and getting dependent on them to provide for them financially. A man who has himself together is not going to waste his time dealing with this nonsense. There’s no benefit in rewarding a single black mother except to look at how she’s creating the next generation of thugs and hoodrats.
How is rewarding a single black mother with free shelter, food, and other financial resources that she didnt have to work for benefitting her? There’s no reward in having children with multiple fathers because the kids are the ones who suffer in the end. What will make a lot of this go away is the system cutting off a lot of these single mothers and make them start working to take care of their kids. The public aid system has failed to enforce time limits for single mothers to have benefits because there are some who have been on public assistance more than 5 years and yet continue to live at the tax payer’s expense. Yet black people won’t address it openly because it’s easier to make excuses than to hold accountability to the individual(s).
