It doesn’t sound like the talk show guy's message is geared to men who take care of their children or ones who are determined to do so.
I may be the lone voice in the wilderness on this issue which obviously has far reaching implications and effects and that has now reached crisis proportions. IS ANYONE THINKING ABOUT THE CHILDREN?
If the aim of Black people is to produce more and more Black people, then, no, there should be no vasectomies for Black men and no birth control used by EITHER gender. But if our goal is to produce more and more capable Black people who can successfully meet the challenges of life, then yes, I think more children ought to be produced by people who are equipped to raise children. Others of us who are not equipped should NOT be able to spawn and pump out babies—rather it’s men or women. Otherwise, we will have a lot more of what we have now which is far too many children who suffer in all kinds of ways as children and who continue to live stunted, suffering lives as adults.
Do any of us really know the lives of those neglected children are like? It’s not hard to figure this out. Would any of us really want to live their often miserable lives, even for a week? It’s so safe, easy, and IMO, irresponsible and immoral to approve of more and more of them being born when we know they are going to suffer so much most of their lives. “Yeah, let them babies come even though we know a lot of them are going to be neglected ‘cause we know that the white man is trying to limit our population.”
.
It just seems to me that when some Black folks feel that white folks are for or against any issue, many of us automatically jump to the other side without critically thinking further. Before some of us continue to do this in a knee-jerk way, let’s do some critical thinking and remember that even the NOI and white racists AGREED about separating the races, but for different reasons. Also, since our thinking is so predictable in this way, it’s very easy for our enemy to know how we will think and feel about ANY issue and exploit us or do further damage. Look at the last election. Our predictabilty makes us so easy to control. Why don’t we try surprising the enemy sometimes?
