Apparently the statistics show that unmarried pregnancies in the black community have been going down. In fact, black fertility, married or not, has been going down. Thus, the racist myth of irresponsible black women popping out babies from different fathers is shattered.
“The entire party and country should hurl into the fire and break the neck of anyone who dared trample underfoot the sacred edict of the party on the defense of women's rights.” - Enver Hoxha, 1967 --- On Tue, 1/18/11, waistli...@aol.com <waistli...@aol.com> wrote: From: waistli...@aol.com <waistli...@aol.com> Subject: Re: [MLL] Poor Reason Culture still doesn't explain poverty (Welfare Queen) To: marxist-leninist-list@lists.econ.utah.edu Date: Tuesday, January 18, 2011, 1:38 PM A complex ideological fight is taking place in our country. Most certainly the undocumented workers - "the illegal and specifically the Mexican immigrant risking life, limbs and separation from loved ones to find work in America is pose as the enemy. The undocumented worker of this period - the Mexican, is not anyone's enemy, including the capitalists whose recruiting agencies have lured immigrants to our country for 200 years. Even when the foreign born were European immigrants - white, they were targeted as the enemy as the means for capital to split the working class movement. The Mexican undocumented worker pose no threat to our economy, system of taxation or social programs. One can find on the Internet all the economic data to prove the undocumented workers contribute more to the economy than they receive from government. The attack against the Mexican undocumented proletarians, and through them the attack against the Latin American proletariat, is the cutting edge of the fascist movement. This bourgeoisie is attacking the Chicano, or historic Mexican communities annexed through imperialist war. Hence the color and language factor. Let's stand the color factor on its head. A systematic campaign by the bourgeoisie sought to convert the destitute white proletarians into an ideological category called "trailer trash." This is a section of the proletariat - white, historically shut out of the American Dream with its promise of home ownership and a promise to give it an economic stake in the system. Lacking the wage scale and unable to afford the 30 year mortgage, this section of the proletariat lived in trailer homes. The ideological imagery of the bourgeois is of white women preferring to sit in bars, collect welfare checks and sell pussy. As if selling pussy was not an economic condition. The ideology of the "welfare queen" is fascist ideology. II. The bourgeoisie rely upon historic form of class divisions and the Women Factor is the most ancient in world history. In American the color factor emerged as the principle material and ideological form of the historic split of the working class and its turning inward against itself. The ideology painting welfare as the "big lie" of cash payment or "unwarranted credit" to first BLACK WOMEN and then all women, rather than support of children, cannot be sustained under condition of destruction of the economy and the need to expand the welfare rolls. Expanding the welfare roll rather than job creation, is the immediate solution to poverty and destitution. Fuck a job when people are hungry now and can be cared for now under conditions where our accumulation of productive forces is such that we can provide for everyone in society. We are leaping from an ideological concept on the left of the feminization of poverty to the proletariat as female. The ideology of the "welfare queen" is horribly reactionary in practice. When the proletariat is female, which happens to be our case in America, we are not dealing with a bourgeois concept of lazy people but a class. Waistline In a message dated 1/18/2011 2:28:47 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, _jpslovjanski@yahoo.com_ (mailto:jpslovjan...@yahoo.com) writes: As you alluded, race plays a big factor in the resentment against social welfare programs. In a book called Why Americans Hate Welfare (may not be the exact title, it's been a long time since I've seen it last), the author found that most Americans support all kinds of welfare programs. However, they often turned vehemently against such programs when there was a hint that these programs might significantly benefit minorities, especially black Americans. In fact, the common association with welfare is black people, despite the fact that far more whites receive such assistance than black Americans. In fact some still believe that only minorities are allowed to collect benefits. A great deal of people believe that illegal immigrants are eligible for state benefits, when in fact they are not.
