The pink toe above is State Representative John LaBruzzo of Metairie, LA. He’s proposing legislation to pay women on governmental assistance $1000 to have their tubes tied and the same amount to men who elect to have vasectomies. So… we’re spaying and neutering poor people now???? WTF??? Okay, it is irresponsible to have 8 kids when you can’t provide for even one, but this f&ckery is incredibly insulting and quite evidently aimed at the Black community. He for damn sure wouldn’t suggest this bigoted ass policy if he knew that the majority of people on welfare were white. They just don’t want the N.O. to be Chocolate City any more. B!tches.

Check out Livesteez for the full story.

    Seems like a good plan to stop all these women who don’t know how to keep their legs closed and men who can’t support their children. I’m all for it.

  • KASANDRA

    I see nothing wrong with it. I’ve been saying this for years…I’m tired of paying for other peoples kids. Real Talk if you can’t be responsible enough to stop having/making babies you can’t afford then get neutered.

  • Just Sayin

    It’s fear of the BMD!

  • nun chucker

    $1000? They must be able to come with a better offer than that.

  • Carla

    Sounds like a racist eugenics plan, keep your eyes one John Labruzzo.

  • ge ge

    Im al for it!!! It’s women out there having 5 and 6 babies with drugs in their system. Their asses should be stopped immediately!!! And the majority of the people on welfare are not black. It’s hard for blacks to get food stamps nowadays because immigrants get priority over them.

  • Carla

    Opp, I meant on, lol…

  • Vee

    While I agree that there should be some means of stopping people who cant afford/dont take care of kids from having too many of them, who am I to judge? Who is this m—— f—— to do the same? Watch–in a month or so we’ll find out that he has like 3 or 4 illegitimate mixed kids running around somewhere. Its always the high-n-mighty types that are hiding something. Look at the (former)governor of NY. People in glass houses…

  • Sawyer

    I heard about this story last week on Rachel Maddow’s show on MSNBC, and I cant believe this fool had the nerve to try and “mask” this ploy by stating this isnt about race, because the majority of those on welfare and poor are white folks. Whatever mofo…we smell a rat and its you!

  • Tiffany

    I agree I think that it would help, it’s an option it’s not like it is mandatory.

  • cutie pie*kindly putting people on blast est.1985*We are officially in the sun sign of Libra!!!! Time to rejoice :)

    lol @ pink toe..a little racial humor I see…

  • Lady elle

    well considering that the majority of people on welfare are not black I don’t think this bill would ride but he can take that mess to the morman groups I’m sure they’ll love to hear about this.

    Also, does that include men getting their nuts snipped for having 5-9 children all over the place?

  • Kesia

    This idea is aimed at the black community. They want us to commit genocide and now never procreate again. I don’t support any idea that is drummed up by racist.

  • STOP TRIPPING!

    hell, i’m from louisiana. david duke, the klansman proposed this years ago for black women.i believe this guy when he says it’s not about race. white folks don’t like to take care of white trash either so it’s not just about black folks. have you notice these white crystal meth addicts having babies? sh7t, i don’t want to take care of their babies.

  • Belle de Jour

    I agree. I’m OVER paying for everyone else’s sexual trysts – why not just use a condom. Damn!

  • cutie pie*kindly putting people on blast est.1985*We are officially in the sun sign of Libra!!!! Time to rejoice :)

    and i’m sorry but this whole idea is crazy and immoral topped with some more crazy…SMH @ the world..this just ain’t our year

  • Candygirl

    I support this all the way. I’ve always questioned in my mind why folks who can’t afford to take care of the 1 child they have always seem to have more and more kids each year. Government assistance my ass. Stop spittin out kids you can’t afford – and stop looking to me and others like me to support you.

  • Royal Chocolate

    @ Vee…

    Speak on it, sister!!!

  • w.w.

    hell, i think its a brilliant idea

  • intenzemocha

    If they agree to it, I don’t see any harm in it….

    Children, are a blessing. Too bad we live in a society where people think they are a burden. If legislation like this is being presented in Louisiana, I can just imagine it will be presented in other states. Black fathers take of your families and bring harmony in your child’s home. You can do this and not be with the mother.

  • Vee

    @ Lady Elle-I agree!

    And while we all know that there are more whites on welfare than blacks, I bet they’ll only enforce this law on US if given the chance. We’re becoming an even greater minority every day thanks to a boom in the Latina population. While I get sick of my tax dollars supporting unfit mothers and I get pissed that the stigma is on black women in general, I do not support this. I bet the guy supporting this has a couple of black side-chicks for whom he’s making car payments and paying for pedicures. Lying a$$ _______.

  • WhatsYoursIsMine

    Please, there are just as many poor white folks in Louisiana as there are black folks. He’s p!ssing people off of all races.

  • Miller

    The majority of people on public assistance ARE caucasian. We as blacks may have a higher ratio of our own receiving benefits but not on top overall. I worked at a public assistance office in Central Florida for over one year.

    LaBruzzo considering plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have tubes tied

    by Mark Waller, The Times-Picayune

    Tuesday September 23, 2008, 10:40 PM

    Worried that welfare costs are rising as the number of taxpayers declines, state Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, said Tuesday he is studying a plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have their Fallopian tubes tied.

    “We’re on a train headed to the future and there’s a bridge out, ” LaBruzzo said of what he suspects are dangerous demographic trends. “And nobody wants to talk about it.”

    LaBruzzo said he worries that people receiving government aid such as food stamps and publicly subsidized housing are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated people who presumably pay more tax revenue to the government. He said he is gathering statistics now.

    “What I’m really studying is any and all possibilities that we can reduce the number of people that are going from generational welfare to generational welfare, ” he said.

    He said his program would be voluntary. It could involve tubal ligation, encouraging other forms of birth control or, to avoid charges of gender discrimination, vasectomies for men.

    It also could include tax incentives for college-educated, higher-income people to have more children, he said.

    LaBruzzo, 38, is white, married to a lawyer, has a toddler daughter and holds a bachelor’s degree from Louisiana State University.

    He is serving his second term in the Legislature, where he drew attention this year for advocating the controversial legislative pay raise and for trying to abolish the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway Commission and its Police Department.

    His 81st House District runs from Old Metairie north to Bucktown and west along Lake Pontchartrain to the Suburban Canal. In a somewhat different configuration, it is the same district that sent white supremacist David Duke to the Legislature in 1989.

    LaBruzzo described the tube-tying incentive as a brainstorming exercise that has yet to take form as a bill for the Legislature to consider. He said it already has drawn critics who argue the idea is racist, sexist, unethical and immoral. He said more white people are on welfare than black people, so his proposal is not targeting race.

    LaBruzzo said other, mainstream strategies for attacking poverty, such as education reforms and programs informing people about family planning issues, have repeatedly failed to solve the problem. He said he is simply looking for new ways to address it.

    “It’s easy to say, ‘Oh, he’s a racist, ‘ ” LaBruzzo said. “The hard part is to sit down and think of some solutions.”

    LaBruzzo said he opposes abortion and paying people to have abortions. He described a sterilization program as providing poor people with better opportunities to avoid welfare, because they would have fewer children to feed and clothe.

    He acknowledged his idea might be a difficult sell politically.

    “I don’t know if it’s a viable option, ” LaBruzzo said. “Of course people are going to get excited about it. Maybe we’ll start a debate on it.”

  • intenzemocha

    AND NEWS FLASH IF WELFARE WAS ELIMINATED TODAY

    I HIGHLY DOUBT THERE WOULD BE ANY MASSIVE REFUNDS ISSUED TO TAXPAYERS

    YOUR MONEY WOULD STILL BE USED TO FUND THE WAR AND CONTINUE TO PAY OUR OVER-PRICED POLITICIANS, ETC.

    THE ONLY FOCUS ON WELFARE TO KEEP OUR ATTENTION OF THEIR TRIFLING POLITICS AND USE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS

    COMING FROM A TAX-PAYER!

  • WhatsYoursIsMine

    And does Livesteez give the full details? I’m sure it doesn’t: Please notice that Labruzzo did say this:

    He said more white people are on welfare than black people, so his proposal is not targeting race.

  • Elo

    What kind of people would show up for this? The kind that need to be sterilized…the end. I think its better than having the government pay to care for their children or all their abortions…I know people who should do this….

  • Anonymous3 – the fire sign

    while the majority of poor folks are white, I’m sure that this guys hopes that the majority of people clammoring for a check will be Blacks who will unwittingly give up the rights to procreate….my concern is that people without any children will opt for the surgery just for a check…and lets not rule out the possibility that the tube tying “surgery” could be some ploy where these people may not have the ability to have it reversed

  • Seek the light beyond the shadows

    For some people this would be a blessing. Until crack heads can get clean, heroin addicts can stop using the needle and people become more responsible with there body and STOP having unwanted and unloved children. I am all for this. These are very hard times were living in. I think people should reconsider how many children they want to be accountable for in the last days.

  • vegasgal

    Although I don’t agree with what this man said, all these broads on welfare,BLACK and WHITE need to get off their fat asses and stop having all these damn kids and expecting us to pay for it.

    Everyone needs to remember that when you start making rules and putting people on a list for correcting their perceived problems, you’re going to be on a list somewhere too.

    You can pay poor women a $1,000.00 to have their tubes tied. You could have also paid Sarah Palin not to have that Downs Syndrome retarded child. That baby gets a social security check now and that’s taxpayer money.

    You could also pay ugly people, dumb people, fat people, people with a history of mental illness, people with strange genetic diseases and other undesirables not to have children too. Somewhere in that list will be you.

    It is not for us to decide who should procreate and who will or can not.

  • VoiceOfReason

    I’ll vote for that!!

  • Just Sayin

    What so many people never think about is how blessed they are to be in the right mind to make wise decisions about their life. So might say, “I made it why can’t they” or “I get up everyday and go to work why shouldn’t they”. Until I walk in a person’s shoes I don’t want to judge whey they have children. Of course I could speculate but that’s all it is “a speculation”.

    It would be cool if people would look beyond them selves and have compassion for others. I have a great career, but I know that other people I grew up with aren’t doing so good. I’m like, if you need to take more taxes then take them, just don’t use them for a stupid war or to buy $300 toilet seats.

    We all come from the same place but we all won’t end up in the same place. Neither in this life or the one to come.

    Until we can look in the eyes our fellow humans and have compassion then I feel we are lost.

    Stopping unwanted pregnancies aren’t as difficult as we make it out to be but most people are lazy and self centered.

    Step One: Find one or two children to mentor. Show them the right things to do and that there is more to life then what they see. Help them with their homework. Take them to church to give them a solid foundation in their life. Let them know that someone cares about them and loves them besides the gangs and predators.

    Rinse, Lather, Repeat Step One

    In 5 – 10 years there will be a great rebirth across the nation.

  • Kesha: (I BLEED BLACK-N-GOLD)

    I do agree that there needs to be a way in place to control procreation for the poor but this is NOT the way. This man is just looking for attention. He wants to get recognized. And i hope he gets exactly what he’s looking for. SMH…I cant wait until the story surfaces about his infidelity that created his mixed baby, lol!

  • Tanisha

    the majority of the poeple on welfare are white first off and secondly, if you have 6 kids and 4 are with ACS THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR TUBES TIED!!! WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR PEOPLE OF ANY RACE WHO CHOOSE TO KEEP HAVING KIDS SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR WELFARE OR ARE TOO LAZY TO GO GET FREE BIRTH CONTROL( ITS FREE BECAUSE THEY HAVE MEDICAID). I WISH THAT BILL WOULD PASS WE WOULD SAVE SO MUCH MONEY

  • SMDH

    ““He for damn sure wouldn’t suggest this bigoted ass policy if he knew that the majority of people on welfare were white.”

    But the majority of people on welfare are white”

    GOOD POINT!! We are definitely disporportinate to our race but for the most part there are many many more white women on welfare than black…

    …. and lets not even forget the Asian women who will come over here and get welfare when their husbands own restaurants and what not..

    There is plenty of blame to go around.

  • SMDH

    “Hey SMDH!

    I’m good mama! How are you?

    You are TOO funny girl.. Wouldn’t that be something?!?!

  • Al-Anon

    Why don’t they pay EVERY woman between the age of 13 and 45 a $1,000.00 per year NOT to get pregnant. Now, that’s a great idea. Can you imagine how much money we could rack up? We could fund college educations, weddings, vacations and even go to happy hour a couple of times a week.

    Now, that’s a great idea!!

    I just don’t want them little crack and meth babies robbing me when I’m old and gray while I’m waitin on my ride in front of Publix.

  • Chicago

    That is 1 factor in the extinction of black people, keeping us from procreating, reproducing, our babies are our only survival as a race, plus you don’t wont welfare doctors cutting on you.

  • Prince

    i don’t agree at all with this he should use his power to prevent people from getting on welfare in the first place all these women are just going to spend the money on drugs esp the white ones on meth then they will eventaully get there tubes untied and have more kids and get back on welfare stop welfare all together and we wouldn’t need this maddness

  • joyce

    Has anyone read the latest essence magazine with mo’nique on the cover? the magazine featured an article about the problems of some katrina victims. they featured a 27-year old katrinaq victim who is a single mother to five children. FIVE KIDS!!!!!!! you know this woman had to be on some public assistance before the flood. that’s a sin and a shame.

    i have no problem with this provision. if the majority of welfare recipients in this man’s district are black then so what? black people really need to stop making excuses for the effed up members of their community. there is no excuse for unplanned pregnancies. Also, you have many people on welfare who have children only to receive a bigger check. Ugh. Instead of attributing this man’s actions to racism, how about black people work within their community to eliminate the present day slave mentality of being dependent on the government for support and take care of themselves!!!

  • Kim

    I agree with this dude John Labruzzo. He IS leaving it up to the individual to make the decision. I know many of these baby momma’s that would love to have a grand over another pregnancy. Many of them are uneducated on how to prevent pregnancy in the first place, which is why they keep having kids.

  • Kesha: (I BLEED BLACK-N-GOLD)

    @ SMDH,

    A girl can wish!

  • Willy

    It figures that those negroes from the NAACP would disagree with this message because they love nothing more than government handouts. It is there government handouts and there stupid policies of the last 40 odd years that has destroyed the Black family and work ethnic in this country. Sometimes I think the NAACP and the rest of those 1960 style colored people want to keep us poor and stupid and dependent on them. I agree with earlier comments about how the government has screwed up Black America more than anything, because there inane policies of giving away free money and the rest has discouraged Black people from taking care of ourselves. We have got to stop playing the victim because that pitiful, I’m am so helpless and pathetic attitude is gonna keepus down and out more than anything else. We better wake up to what is going on here.

  • WordtotheWise

    At least this proposal is voluntary. I would not agree to it if it was mandatory because I don’t want the government in control my life. Like most people all ready said, some women and men do not need children they can’t afford to take care of or aren’t equipped to raise. I know a woman that has three kids. She takes care of them, i.e. clothes, food, shelter, but that’s not enough. She’s a horrible mother. She curses at her kids and threatens to send them away (which would probably be in their better interest); they have zero supervision – her 2 year old watches BET all day long while she sits and smokes weed 24/7. Some people should NEVER have children.

  • Al-Anon

    Some people should NEVER have children, but they do. My parents were a couple of them who should never have had children. But they did and I’m here now and I like being here.

  • Vee

    @ Joanie-thanks so much for handlin’ Voice of (no damn) Reason for me…I dont have anything to add…except to saythat I stand by my previous comment. Latinas ARE predicted to surpass blacks as a minority in just a few years for a number of reasons. Folks on here KILL me acting like we ALL aren’t entitled to our opinions. Dumb bastards!

  • Taly

    I agree with him 20000%! If you’re on government assistance because you can’t provide for the kid(s) you have now, you don’t need to have more on top of that! Here they are getting medicaid that pays for all their medical expenses (with a measley $3 co-pay. No copay if they’re pregnant), and working people usually go into debt because they’re required to pay and arm and a leg for health care. A 25 year old with 5 kids will get hundreds of dollars in food stamps every month, and elderly people get a measley $10. It’s ridiculous!!! Medicaid pays for tubals, these girls aren’t getting them because they don’t want them! We can scream racism all day long, but sometimes you have to call a spade a spade. You see a lot of black females having all these babies back to back, and all these black males making babies with every woman they come across….something needs to be done about it.

    —————————————————–

    That was UN-NECESSARY… as are YOU! Do you have ANY idea how devistating Katrina was to both the rich and the poor? I bet you wouldn’t have made that comment if that article was about a white widower with 5 kids…Y? Because its close minded people like you that speak before they think. For all you know that lady’s husband could’ve passed away and she was left raising those kids alone and THAT’S how she ended up on welfare…SMH. I’m glad i dont have to encounter your close-minded ass on a daily basis. Already i feel my intelligence level decreasing just by conversing with you…now kick rocks…I hope you have to endure a KATRINA at some point in your life

  • MiseducatedChik

    I agree with C-lew most people that receive welfare are white. I think that we have bigger issues to deal with rite now. Our economy is horrid we are funding a war/country that seems to not care for help, politicans are trying to get us away from the issues that matter most. Welfare needs to be reformed, yes. I am a prior veteran and I pay my taxes. We need to worry about home first before we worry about anyone or anything else.

  • WordtotheWise

    “their best interest…”

  • Al-Anon

    Why don’t they pay EVERY woman between the age of 13 and 45 a $1,000.00 tax credit per year NOT to get pregnant.

    That would be cheaper than establishing the tubal ligation bureaucracy and settling the lawsuits that will follow.

  • Shootingstar

    I don’t think it’s insulting at all….and the breeders (white and black) on welfare who mindlessly f*ck and continue to populate the earth and Louisiana with future McDonald’s workers and welfare recipients don’t care one way or the other or else they wouldn’t have 8 kids that they couldn’t support.

  • Jojo69

    I work for CPS and when I started reading the article I was like, “cool” because we have toom any darn people who either have their children in foster care or with a relative because they can not take care of them and they are pregnant again. This one girl does not know who or where the father of the baby she is caring is right now. She only knows his first name. It is crazy out there. So I kinda agree with this proposal because people are having too many baby’s out of wed lock and they can not take care of them. I have this lady who is the same age that I am (38) and she has had 17 children and we keep taking custody of them every time she has them because she continues to use drugs and the baby’s are born addicted to drugs.

  • FineAsWine

    @ Whoa

    I agree 100%…..I dont have kids either. You know why? Because I want to be able to buy everything my children need, without assistance from anyone but my husband! Its inbelievable how many ignorant weak women keep birthing children they can’t provide for and it makes me sick!

  • Stan The Man

    I work with ex-cons and let me tell you that nearly 100% came from broken homes with non-working, lazy mothers and fathers who don’t give a damn. I don’t care about white folks on welfare, I care about us and what welfare is doing to the Black community. As someone stated above, welfare is nothing but 21st. century slavery. It numbs the mind and the spirit and kills the necessity for people to take care of themselves. There are people on welfare for generations with nobody getting an education or feeling the need to lift themselves up.

  • rayrayischillin

    Whether this man is racist or not doesn’t matter to me. I thin k what he propsed is a great idea! This will also gradually lower the crime rate and encourage parents take care of their kids.

    I rent apartments out to section 8 people and when I see a pregnant women with 5 kids and 4 baby daddy’s and she ain’t even thinking about working and still refuses to pay $20/month in rent. She definitely needs her d@mn tubes tied. On the Flip-side, I’m tired or men running around poking anything and everything that has a hole and then start acting dumb and confused when a women or animal ends up pregnant.

    You can pay poor women a $1,000.00 to have their tubes tied. You could have also paid Sarah Palin not to have that Downs Syndrome retarded child. That baby gets a social security check now and that’s taxpayer money.

    You could also pay ugly people, dumb people, fat people, people with a history of mental illness, people with strange genetic diseases and other undesirables not to have children too. Somewhere in that list will be you.

    It is not for us to decide who should procreate and who will or can not.

    ———————————————-

    Although I agree that no-one has a right to decide who should give birth, isn’t this proposal, as crazy as it sounds directed towards people who are willing participants.

  • vmaster

    I think this a great idea.I dont want to have to worry about incompetent moms raising bad kids that later on in life i will have to worry about jacking me ;-}

  • realwoman

    Wow…didn’t think there would be so many Black supporters of this. ESPECIALLY ones who are so arrogant and like to think of themselves as EDUCATED. Please.

    This same plan was proposed in the early 90′s during the crack epidemic and was supposed to curb the births of crackbabies. Do you all know what happened? Even though MOST of the babies born addicted to drugs are WHITE for some reason most of the women sterilized were BLACK. They only wanted to stop the birth of ‘black’drug babies. Same thing for norplant…most of the women forced to use it in order to receive their welfare benefits (remember most people on welfare are white) were BLACK. Then when they wanted the device out (mostly due to pain and bad scarring at the point of entry), their ‘benefits’ wouldn’t pay for it.

    This plan may be more sexist than it is racist. A man can have 5 women pregnant at once but a woman can only be pregnant one at a time. It is alot safer and reversible for a man to have a vasectomy than a woman to get her tubes tied.

    You may not agree but I sure as hell do. I am so sick of my tax dollars being spent on these women and all of those kids they keep having. I dont care if you get mad but it is cheaper for us working folks. Lastly, dont get to saying that you work and are on assistance because you dont make enough. If that is the case, you need an education (like mine from Clark Atlanta University- class of 2002) so you can make better than $12/hour or whatever min wage is.

    Why not birth control versus sterilization which is a permanent ‘solution’?

  • Shy

    I completely agree…Force women to stop having babies by making them tie their tubes…This guy is a genius…..I should move to Louisiana just to vote for this!!!

  • http://checkmeout Film

    There are several pros and cons to this proposal. If there are women who can’t afford having their tubes tied and men having vasectomies, then this will hopefully provide a better future for their families. You have to remember that there are some that aren’t concerned with their perpetual state of lacking sufficient materials or possessions. Instead of receiving a proper education, some are content in their impecuniousness, penurious, and destitute lives. Then there are hardworking, intelligent individuals born into deprivation of common necessities.

    How will giving $1,000 to people be the solution to this problem? Is the Louisiana legislation really going to give money before the nip/tuck occurs? If so, wouldn’t the so-called problem heighten greater in extent? How is forestalling men and women from reproducing the only direct solution for the improving people’s lives? What about over-crowded classrooms, teachers and parents who aren’t engaged in the well being of these kids’ lives and a sinuous and corrupt legal system responsible for injustices not only in Louisiana, but in America. I don’t expect the legislation to formally address these issues, and I definitely don’t expect them to address structural economic inequalities.

    I don’t know if some of you are unaware, but a woman can still get pregnant after undergoing sterilization. I’ve heard about and seen (Discovery Channel) that women tend to have long-term side effects due to contraceptives (birth control). To me, this proposal sounds like they’re controlling human rights

    I dont agree with him and black people shouldnt either..A lot of people for this probably dont even have any kids..This proposal just adds to the deterioration of the black race period..

    But I dont blame people who are for this either…The truth is we as a black race need to take of our own, this includes black children that are not our kin.. Like another person said we should be a mentor to at least two children, if not adopt them. Help create some harmony..having clean bed sheets, someone to go over your homework with you, a non-hostile household, a nice bath, haircut, clean clothes, and somebody to talk to goes a long way in helping a child…Sterilization is not the answer in my opinion..too bad we are too selfish to realize that..

    Here’s an idea…if a woman has been on public assistance for more than 12 months, and she is not allergic to depo provera, tell her that she has to get a depo shot every 3 months to keep collecting those monthly checks. that way, when she gets off of public assistance she will still be able to have kids in the future, and she won’t keep popping out babies while on public assistance, and it may stop the never ending cycle.

  • tscombo

    African American’s get 30% of the abortions in this country despite being 13% of the population. If something like this has to be discussed as well, what does it say about personal responsiblity in our communities?

  • kigali (Black Females NEED arranged marriages!!)

    OK people. I think the point is that blacks are disproportionately on welfare. Obviously, most people in this country are white so most of them will be on welfare but it is the ratio. If blacks are 12% of the population, their numbers of welfare depency shouldnt be disproportionate to their numbers.

    Baeyaki…everyone who just read that little rant of mine just got a bit more educated. All that is needed is that spark of interest, and boom there they are, on Google and YouTube looking it up…and finding truth for themselves. In turn they educate OTHER people, start seeing the Eurocentric propaganda for what it is and start waking up…and shaking others in the process. This in turn creates solidarity amongst more and more people.

    Solidarity in turn helps a nation rise above the racial tyranny that has kept us physically and mentally subjugated.

    All of this with a few words..

    Just a few.

    So you can go ahead and hold the Europeans mans hand while smile and say “yassah massah, I’s edumacated and I agree wich you..sterilize ALL dem poor darkies because edumacating them would be too sane..and heben knows free birf control aint permanent enough”

    Which basically equates to blacks being 6 times more likely to be on welfare than their white counterparts..

    As a black woman in an upper-middle class family I opted to have my tubes tied after two children (both boys). I based my decision on MY salary. On $50,000-$60,000, if something jumps off and my husband decides to run off with Suzy Q, I can take care of me and my boys on my own.

    I believe that we should all be smart enough to know how many children we can comfortably afford and set your limits.

    Although that has been proven to be true. Your statement suggests that a majority of “white people” possess the gene.

    Think for a minute.

    Every Caucasian person on the planet would have had to have been tested for the gene before the introduction of the virus.

    Assuming your allegation that it was a plan, not saying it couldn’t have been, is true it would seem that someone made a major misstep in carrying it out.

    Honestly this is probably not a racism thing but a ‘save some f*cking money’ thing. Paying some skeezy broad $1,000 once to get her tubes tied is way more cost-effective than supporting her and her 17 future kids for who knows how many years. You really don’t want people like that breeding anyway- if you’re too stupid/lazy to use a condom or pay for birth control, you don’t need to be reproducing.

    The black father should be the rock for that woman even if they dont love em, at least take care of your child..If a man is gon be man enough and lay down and bust that nut, they should be man enough to raise that child. But you must understand, most dead beat father dont know how to be fathers, because they never had a true example of how a real man should act and treat a woman..Ill be damned if he is a deadbeat father when he gets older, because I have always exemplified what a true man really is. I teach him the basics of life, never have excuses, stand by your word, take care of home, because its the most important place. Like I said it starts in the home.

    or are you saying that if more black people got up, got an education, went to college, got a career and worked their way up through the ranks, got city official jobs, worked through congress, that they could help those other people on welfare cause they are black also.. ????

    are you saying that if we had more black officials, they’d help out the black community more??

    Im not seeing the corelation between the 2…

    Im not on welfare, because my president, or local city councilman is white also.. im not on welfare, cause i went to school, got a job, made it a career and have worked my ass off…

  • Somer

    SORRY, TOTALLY AGREE!!! I just forward a story on ajc.com (Atl newspaper) about a 36yr women that was gun down last week that had 8 kids & never married. Her dumb ass mother said in the interview that her daughter wanted 10 kids. She told her, go head, you only have 2 more to go. At the time of her death she was unemployed. Can’t afford 1 but want 10. Can you imagine the little monsters she left behind. She was robbed at a check cashing store. The gunman was probably from a family of many siblings & no stability.

    When these people just have babies like they are puppies, that is a community issue. When you don’t raise them, they commit crimes that effect other people. It’s so ironic that she was gunned down.

  • The One

    It’s not a bad idea at all. Some of these women need to get their sorry asses off government assistance and stop having all of these bastard babies.

  • Truthbetold

    So lets say a woman on welfare REALLY needs that 1stack — goes through with the procedure. Enrolls in college, is now educated & wants to have more children??? then what???

    She was too dumb (uneducated) in the first place to make a life long decision. & Now she’s stuck. Stupid plan! Why not take that 1K each person & give it to schools or afterschool programs so lil teenage girls & boys will have something to do after school instead of getting their little backs blown out by GROWN AZZ R.KELLYS of the world.

  • iheartchicken

    @ Film

    I agree with you.

    There’s a lot that happens to some women that drives them to continue to sleep with men looking for love and have their children despite the fact that they have no means to support that child and recognize on some level that the man will probably abandon them.

    Sure, there are plenty of women who are what we’d describe as “triflin’”. However, there are plenty more where this becomes more of a pathology than anything.

    That being said, I don’t necessarily disagree with this proposal for the following reasons:

    1. Contrary to popular belief, a tubal ligation is not necessarily perminant. I’ve had several clients who have had them reversed provided they have not been cortorized.

    2. I’ve been in court before and saw a woman who had abandoned all 6 of her children while on a vicious crack bing. It was revolting to see those children in the condition they were found – crying hysterically, filthy, painfully thin, hair matted to their scalps in a dirt tangle and still screaming for their mother…

    When the court announced that her children will be placed in foster care, she screamed out that she needed her check so we could just “take those ’cause she would just have some more!”

    For her and women like her, I say yes to this proposal. If and when you get your life together, get it reversed.

  • me

    Stefany..

    So you’re telling me , the lady who pops out 10 kids, with 5 different daddies, has no job, no education to get a job, cause she never went to school, collects welfare all her life, and that somehow equates to the “white mans” fault..

    How?

    She had every chance to get an education, she had a public school to go to.. just like me.. she had community college to go to, just like me…

    hows it any persons fault, but her own… ????

  • WhatsYoursIsMine

    Now, I will say this:

    My friends and I have had this discussion a few times: why are minorities allowing the uneducated, poorer families to have several children while we stop at 1 or 2. I have a friend whose family (she and her husband) want at least 4 children so they can help build the black middle class. She started working part-time with the birth of their youngest (they’re on baby no. 2), and her husband works weekends so he can spend a day or two at home with the kids, and she can focus on them on the weekends. They have said that their plans may change after baby number 3.

    They drive decent cars, they are both educated and go to church, and give back to their communities. I’m starting to agree with them on why are the “middle class” black families not spreading the wealth of our culture through more descendants? I know how many kids you have can affect your status, but really, why do we allow 5 to 6 kids to be born to a mother with no high school diploma or college degree, and only 2 to be born with a mother with a high school diploma and either some college or a four year degree?

  • Annoyed

    I really don’t know what to think about this. At first I said it seems like a good idea. But then at the same time it is very offensive to our community.

    Someone earlier mentioned most of the ppl commenting don’t have kids. Well I don’t maybe that’s why I feel the way I do. I don’t understand a lot of these girls(because their definitely not women) keep having these babies and can’t afford to take care of them. They have kids with different men, sit on their a**es and collect welfare! UGH! I could go on forever, it just doesn’t make sense to me.

    This topic just reminds me of a funny story I had a friend a while ago that was the same age as me (20 at the time) with 3 kids by 2 different men, on welfare, no high school diploma, 2 dead beat a** baby daddies and living in the projects. This chick had the nerves to try to talk about me and said I was jealous because I was still living at home and I was single. Every chick in her family had one or more kids by the time they were 18 no husbands, no type of education and fat and sloppy! I’m just so damn happy my mother taught me about protecting myself and respecting myself. Sure every woman has a different story but there are still so many that are just alike. It’s quite sad if you ask me.

    I’m more tired of the government spending billions in taxpayers money, bailing big corporations out of sh*t they did to themselves. That’s what I’m really tired of……………. But this is no way to stop people on welfare. This sounds like a form of slavery. How are you going to make a grown azz person do something like this to themselves. They need to think of something else to get these lazy people something to do after a certain time frame. America is really f*cked up!

    i’m not mad at John LaBruzzo for his proposed legislation, but it problematic at best. i think that it should be optional, of course, and considering that the majority of people on welfare are white, it’s not racial…in theory. in practice, however, that’s where race will come into play. how will this option be advertized? who will get the “talk” vs. who doesn’t? the same issues came up with the aggressive marketing of The Pill and IUDs and every other form of contraception in the black community. that’s where the racism comes in. i’m not totally against this proposal (in theory), but there needs to be very specific parameters in place in it’s implementation and not just left up to individual agencies to decide. for arguement’s sake, let’s say it’s mandatory that every woman with more than 3 children on welfare get the “talk” no matter her race; no woman under 24 can qualify for the procedure (will ensure we are dealing with fully cognizant adults), etc. ok, so we get all that sorted out. my other concern is how do we hold the fellas responsible? girls/women are getting pregnant by themselves. if anything, this legislation is far more sexist than racist. it is telling women (all women) what they can and cannot do with their bodies. i mean, proposals have been made to pay welfare women to have abortions. no one would agree to that, right? now, i admit, some women don’t have the sense God gave them to keep their legs closed, but effort should be to educate before we penalize. now, once you have the information, been given the option, made your choice, then there should be ramifications (a whole ‘nother arguement). the final major problem (for now) i have with this proposal is that LaBruzzo is trying to reduce a major life decision to a few dollars. the procedure should be free with no monetary incentive that way desperate people will not be tempted by the green. instead, we have educated people making informed decisions on how to make the best decision for themselves and their families with no hidden agenda.

  • I happen to think this is hilariously awesome. Poor people shouldn’t have lots of kids, point blank. And, since some people are too stupid to use birth control (even when it’s FREE), the government should find ways to control how much breeding goes on with us humans.

    I’m sick of my taxes going to stupid women who didn’t know she should’ve been on birth control after the 4th kid while still living at home with her parents. And don’t get it twisted, I knew a chick like this. She wasn’t black, either (lmfao @ this retarded blogger always thinking people are against black folks). She was like, 24 and on her 3rd kid, 3 different dads and on welfare.

    She’s 34 now, has 6 kids, 5 different dads and surprise surprise! She’s still on welfare!

    I always thought it’d be really cool if there was a way to force young women to be on a temporary birth control until they were ready to have kids. When they claimed to be ready, the clinic would make them go through several mental tests to make sure she’s not a moron and run a salary check on her, too, to make sure she can afford the kid. Then, after she’s passed all the tests, release her into the world of baby-making glory.

    A woman can dream…

  • les

    “why do we allow 5 to 6 kids to be born to a mother with no high school diploma or college degree, and only 2 to be born with a mother with a high school diploma and either some college or a four year degree?”

    Educated people are more cautious with money and they actually know the hard work it takes to take care of children, so they limit their number. Stupid people don’t know any better, so they don’t use birth control and have sex and then wonder what they’re going to do about their kids. Oh…and since they don’t really ever have stable careers, they don’t really work so they can stay home and take care of their brats while collecting checks from us!

    ‘Maybe Black women arent as picky because their daddy never told them he loved em…Maybe the women that picked losers never observed how a real man should act. I have a daughter. I know she will be a woman one day, and she will do what she wants to do..But there is not one day that will go by without me saying that I love her and that I am there for her no matter what. And when she starts looking at boys, there will always be a mental depiction of me to guide her in eliminating the losers from the real men..So I guess my point is that it goes for the women to..women will most likely be attracted to men that are like their father or lack there of.’

    Why does this website insist on making EVERYTHING about race? Here’s a novel idea — sometimes, things aren’t about race. At all. Really… it’s true. Making every issue about race, as this website repeatedly does in its commentary when not warranted, does NOTHING to help our society move past that sort of mindset. Some things are about race and are wrong, I agree, but not nearly to the extent this website portrays.

    To me, its not outright racist but one of those comments made where u have to wonder, just who he was referring too…i sortof agree that woman should only have as many kids as they can afford but once again, in some places having lots of children is a good thing…i must ask how much money does this man have, where he could just throw it away, lets say for charity…maybe instead of wasting money, he should be doing something that helps the community out, how about offering women other options, setting up assistance where they can be provided with jobs (those willing and able to work) providing daycare for poor mothers so that they will be able to work instead of having to be home b/c they can’t afford daycare…little things like that enables a change instead of trying to pay people off b/c u dont want to work hard and do your job….

  • TAXPAYER!

    I think it’s a great idea, our tax dollars are taking care of able adults and kids who are not being productive or contributing to society. In addition it is voluntary no one is forcing individuals to have the procedure. I understand hard times hit unexpectantly, but when you’re abusing the kids by not being able to sufficiently take care of them and abusing the system by having more and more children, what do you expect.

  • cookiemonster – I’m sorry, but the responsibility is the woman’s. after all, she’s the one who can GET pregnant and, therefore, should always take precaution when it comes to letting penises near their vaginas. That’s something my momma always taught me and it hasn’t failed me yet!

    When a chick gets knocked up without wanting to, I blame HER, not the dude.

    I hope someone here in California comes up with a similar proposition. I see way too many stupid hoodrats having kids for no good reason other than to pollute the world with more idiocy.

  • Catherine

    I completely agree with the program. Women and Men who conceive children with out any regards to how they will take care of them should be stopped. They are not going to take birth control. So if you can pay the women/men $1000 and get them snipped up. Do it! That means less children by parent(s) who are ill prepared to raise the children to be productive citizens.

  • AH

    This is in refrence to people thinking that people on welfare are just on it to collect a check.Even though I agree that “some” of these women and men are just out here making babies and not even working and is able to work which makes me mad, we still can’t charactorize everyone into one box who is on welfare. You dont know what some of these people have went through in their life. You might have one mother who used to be married with 3 kids already had to leave her husband because of domestic violence now has to be on welfare to get back on her feet. You might have one family that one of the parents had gotten disabled. You just dont know. But getting tied and snipped sounds great but you have to admit that that is on the grounds of animals. We are human beings. Plus I dont trust anything the White man brings up when it comes to “helping” the poor out!

  • EnnAye

    I remember a while back, I believe it was an organization paying women that were on crack $200 to have their tubes tied. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with this proposal. It will cost the taxpayers way more to support the kids being raised on welfare. Besides, it is optional. The $ tacked on is only a nice incentive to actually doing it.

  • RosieDD

    It’s a good idea. People who bear children irresponsibly need to be ‘spayed’ and ‘neutered’, if thats what you want to call it. Why are you upset about offering an alternative to people who want to sit up all day and pump out children and then subject them to whatever just because they were too irresponsible to use protection? We all know that plenty of people fall on hard times and must use the welfare system to get back on their feet, thats why it is there. This is directed at the people that use abortion as a form of birth control or have child after child irresponsibly that end up with grandparents, in foster care, with abusers, or on the street. Any person that accepts the payment and has the procedure done is doing it of their own free will, they are not being forced. And spayed and neutered?? It’s called tube tying and vasectomy. These are contraceptive measures that many responsible people pay for everyday, my parents included. THINK!! There may be drug addicts that take these measures in a moment of sobriety and prevent one more unwanted drug baby from coming in to this world with a handicap to be sold for a hit later in life. Open your mind and don’t try to resort to the race card so quickly! Plenty of white folks are abusing the welfare system and using it as a way of life even more so than MINORITIES do. I don’t care what the race, think about all the unwanted, neglected and abused children born from irresponsibility that are suffering right this moment! PLEASE!!!

  • whocares

    The bottom line is that this insidious “plan” perpetuates the “eugenics ideology”. Right now, whether the plan comes to fruition is irrelevant. What is relevant, is the underlying deleterious message this “plan” is sending; that “only certain groups of people” are socially acceptable and deserve (aka “entitled”) to exist. While “other groups” (e.g., particularly low income and women of color) are the cause of all of society’s social ills and should not be allowed to procreate or co-exist with other people who personify “desirable traits”. Hmm, I wonder what those “desirable traits” could be? The plan reinforces stereotypes about marginalized and disenfranchised groups (i.e., the “Black Welfare queen” or that low income (“under class”), uneducated, and/or people of color have uncontrollable sex drives, and are unwilling to work or are just too “lazy” to find gainful employment). Yet, the “plan” and proponents of this plan neglects/ignores to examine the social, historical, and institutional constructs that created the situation in the first place. Additionally, this is nothing more than a form of state sponsored discrimination which affects the 42% of Blacks living in poverty in the state of LA (stat provided for the year 2007). By the way, stats consistently show that women on welfare have less economic incentive to have children and the typical welfare family is a mother and two children, slightly

    less than the size of the average family in the United States.

  • http://deleted whocares

    “Much of the rhetoric about welfare–from both sides of the aisle–is heavily influenced by the doctrine of differential fertility, which was a central component of eugenics as it was first developed. The early eugenists were convinced that the poor tended to be more fertile than the rich, which meant according to them that eventually the poor would grossly outnumber the rest of the population; and since eugenics assumes that the poor are mentally, physically and morally inferior, this would imply the degeneration and destruction of the human race. A lot of energy was spent thinking of ways to close this “fertility gap” and make the rich breed faster while making the poor breed more slowly.” Feel free to request the link from me.

    So let me re-word the “proposal” for you – the plan intends to SPECIFICALLY target a group of people who are “economically marginalized/disenfranchised” so they can stop procreating based solely on their ECONOMIC STATUS or CLASS. But he wants to provide tax incentives for college-educated, higher-income people to have children?

    Now if that isn’t classist, please tell me what is?

    Now on the generational point that LaBruzzo’s “proposal” makes and some of you have so eloquently argued for:

    “While women whose mothers never received welfare are statistically less likely to apply for welfare as adults than women whose mothers did, statistical research has not established that welfare causes dependency in the next generation. Researcher Peter Gottschalk and his colleagues have noted: “Because families receiving welfare are poor – indeed, poverty is a condition of welfare receipt – we would expect children from welfare families to have higher rates of poverty and welfare use as adults than children from nonpoor, nonwelfare families. Intergenerational correlation, therefore, does not necessarily indicate a causal relationship. . . .For example, if both mother and daughter grow up in neighborhoods with poor-quality school, both will be more likely to have lower earnings and, hence, a greater need for income assistance. . . . Changing the quality of the school her daughter attends. . . .will raise her income and, in turn, lower the probability that she receives public assistance.” (I would add that taking away her meager welfare income and health benefits will probably not bode well for her children’s education, health, employment future or general well-being.)” @ Confronting Poverty, Chapter 4: The Dynamics & Intergenerational Transmission of Poverty and Welfare Participation, by Peter Gottschalk.

    As I said in my earlier, it doesn’t matter if this proposal comes to fruition or if the proposal is voluntary. It is the message it is sending or trying to reinforce. To that end, you can’t eliminate an economic crisis/problem by trying to eliminate a group of people.

  • Yep I said it…

    Im on the fence with this one. I have a friend who is pregnant with her 4th child, and on her 3rd baby daddy. Yes I said Baby Daddy… Any way she has no job and no education outside of high school. She has had multiple abortions, but continues to get pregnant, without a job or any way to take care of her children. Situations like that need some sort of intervention, and im sure if someone gave her compensation to get her tubes tied she would. On the other hand, I kind of see this as a race thing, regardless of who the majority is on welfare in this particular state. Sterotypes say that blacks are the ones on welfare, and pissing out children every year by multiple different men.

  • Lou

    As a black teacher, who dedicated four years to “doing good in the hood” I say YES! Please spay and neuter folks who are just popping out babies. I have seen too many children come to school hungry, dirty and ultimately not cared for by their parent. I have seen parents talk to their kids as if they are a burden, when they did not ask to be born. It is a disgrace! It has honestly been the best birth control for me as a teacher, cause even though I am college-educated and have NO kids, I don’t even want any cause I am afraid they will socialize with these children who have to raise themselves.

  • Jewell

    I totally agree. It is wrong for someone who is very irresponsible to keep having kids w/o the finances to care for them. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen this kind of thing occuring at my job(I’m a nurse). People who can’t afford to pay for thier own food and be able to support these children , send them to school etc. yet refuse to act sensible and continue to procreate recklessly. It is not cool and I personally am tired of paying for other peoples recklessnes with my tax dollars.

    Additionally, it is not only Black women having children out of wedlock. There are plenty of white, hispanic and others that are also in this camp.

    Please some of you idiots, quit buying into the crap that you’ve been fed by a media that you should know by now, has ultimate bias towards Black people…

  • dubya

    I keep hearing this “there are more white people on welfare” as if:

    1. It somehow negates the decay going on in our community

    2. It somehow justifies the decay going on in our community

    3. It’s an accurate comeback. Okay, more white people on welfare. Well, that makes sense as there are more white people. Let’s look at in on a percentage level (as someone has already done):

    2.9% of white people are on welfare..

    where as

    18%, almost 1 in 5 blacks are on welfare…

    Which basically equates to blacks being 6 times more likely to be on welfare than their white counterparts..

    THESE ARE THE STATISTICS you should be looking at. I’m sorry, you can’t just cherry pick statistics to make yourself feel better. But for some reason, many of you do.

  • Taly

    Someone mentioned them paying for school….It’s funny you should say that b/c someone with no job and 3 kids (unmarried of course), can get their educations paid for with no problem. Someone like me with NO kids and a full time job, has to struggle and take out loans, increasing my debt, just to pay for college. It’s like you get rewarded for doing the wrong things. Then they’re the same ones who come to school complaining because they have to juggle education and parenting. No one told them to have kids BEFORE going to college.

  • lil 1

    I actually think that it’s a very good idea. There are too many people who keep having babies and don’t want to work to support them. Not just blacks but whites too. I believe that anyone who is able to work should work and not expect for the government to take care of their responsibilities. If they can’t be responsible and take the proper precautions to insure that they don’t keep making babies, maybe they do need a small incentive to keep them from doing it.

  • Javon

    I think it is a great idea, although it would not solve the problem, anything to slow it down would help at this point. It has gotten way out of hand and something needs to be done. Race has nothing to do with this, it is a problem for many communities. And it is truely sad. At what point do you say enough is enough? As far as taxes, there is no way around that, if they aren’t paying for this then it would be something else, I would rather it be something else.

  • BKJones

    I see a bunch of other people have already said this on here but I’ll say it again anyway.

    The majority of people who are on welfare are white so this is not aimed at black people. It’s aimed at women who are having too many damn kids without the means to support them. Other countries have forms of population control and it actually works. America is so taboo on issues like this. I can even break it down more and say that if a woman thinks $1000 bucks is worth having her tubes tied then she had no business having kids anyway.

  • Q

    I think that it’s not a bad idea! They aren’t using birth control and our tax dollars are enabling them to continue to reproduce children irresponsibly. The arguments come because a white man proposed it. Would there be a difference had it been a black man? I personally don’t think it only applies to the black community as there are plenty of white women/people in the same situation…on government assistance with a gang of kids.

    I know everyone keep mentioning that majority of people on welfare are whites but maybe it’s just me but the people who I see with 4 plus kids are blacks. I pass trailer parks and I see the meth heads and crack heads too but I normally don’t see them with 4 plus kids they might have 2-3 kids but I don’t see them with the ton of kids I see black single females. Maybe it’s different in LA or maybe I need to get out more into white ghettos/bad neighborhoods but even if whites are the majority on welfare in general but then blacks are the ones who have the larger number of kids per person who is this proposal really targeting?

    I’m all for it!! I don’t have kids because I know I can’t afford them!! And I’m getting tired of my tax dollars going to a bunch of bastards that aren’t mine!! Put a stop to this sh*t already!

    I keep hearing this “there are more white people on welfare” as if:

    1. It somehow negates the decay going on in our community

    2. It somehow justifies the decay going on in our community

    3. It’s an accurate comeback. Okay, more white people on welfare. Well, that makes sense as there are more white people. Let’s look at in on a percentage level (as someone has already done):

    2.9% of white people are on welfare..

    where as

    18%, almost 1 in 5 blacks are on welfare…

    Which basically equates to blacks being 6 times more likely to be on welfare than their white counterparts..

    THESE ARE THE STATISTICS you should be looking at. I’m sorry, you can’t just cherry pick statistics to make yourself feel better. But for some reason, many of you do.

    ____________________________________________________

    MTO is the one who stated that there are MORE BLACKS ON WELFARE. They didn’t say percentage-wise so people corrected them. DUH. Talk about not cherry picking stats how about you also bring up the stats on how the different local governments hand out funding to schools and which ones get MORE money. Most of the inner city schools SUFFER. It is a domino affect. You can’t expect all children in substandard schools to do better than children who have better teaching facilities, books, computers, libraries, larger staffs, transportation etc. Talk about how most white people POLLED would prefer to hire a convicted criminal who is white over a Black person who has never been convicted for a crime. Talk about the racial profiling cops perform, the HIGHER PERCENTAGES of wrongful incarcerations of Black men who subsequently can’t apply for federal loans to attend college. All of these factors mean something.

    I am just glad that Black business, homeownership, college attendees etc. are steadily increasing in percentages. Aren’t you?

    I don’t blame him! I get pissed off when I look at my paycheck and go to the grocery store and these lazy broads have $400 dollars worth of foodstamps. They keep their hair and nails done and stay in the club looking for victims to have more babies with! They need their tubes BURNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lAZY HEIFFES ( How ever you spell it)

  • realwoman

    … instead of being mad that someone got a grant SET ASIDE FOR THEIR DEMOGRAPHIC why wouldn’t you just apply for one THAT IS GEARED TOWARD YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC? Or how about you pay for your own damn education. How are you going to be mad that someone else got a handout that you think you deserved more??? lmao

    I love my paycheck and wouldn’t give it up for no damn $400-$800 a month in welfare check??? If I can pay MORE taxes to pay the six figure salaries of white men who don’t do sh!t for me and those in my neighborhoods then I can certainly pay some for a child who just wants to make it in a life he didn’t ask to be born into. Yall act like them welfare girls get pizzzayed! STOP EXAGGERATING. They are usually on the BUS, with knock off purses, payless shoes and little hope…there is no glamour in that so stop being jealous of the life they chose and live the one you chose.

    im going to GO OUT and get Pregnant now and have the BILL put in with that 700 billion we have to pay back anyway! How bout’ that….

  • Jada

    I have not read any of the comments posted here but, with that said the majority of people on welfare are WHITE. If it was any other way it would be gone by now.

    Why does everything have to revert back to Black people, they are referring to all women (spanish, black and white)that are having kids they cant support. It’s make absolutely no sense to have kids if you are not financial capable.We have enough people receiving food stamps, free housing and a monthly check. I personally feel that Government assistance only helps people to not be self motivated. Why work, when you receive $300-500 a month in food stamps and/or pay only $25-100 a month in rent. Just sit on you lazy behind and continue to rack up government assistance. Kids are very costly from (daycare/aftercare, food, clothes, and other every day expenses. I support the decision and hope that it becomes a law!

    changing the subject and going off on some random diatribe….do you believe what you just wrote, better question, do you UNDERSTAND what you just wrote?

  • Zoe

    I STRONGLY AGREE, all you nasty breeding, no children taking care of bytches need to be sterilzed, irresponsible skanks.

  • GO4IT!

    Sounds like an okay plan. The people involved would have a choice, and as long as they can comprehend the meaning of what they are doing. I know a woman on assistance with 6 kids and her man has 7, 2 by her they plan to have more. I believe if they were offered the right amount they both would be inline. Being a black women myself, I don’t know if this is race motivated. It may be on his part, but so be it. It may actually save some tax payers $. Not only that save some children from being raised to repeat the cycle of living on assistance. I think it should be something for the people to vote on.

  • MzTee

    I agree with whomever wrote that this is a ‘class’ issue NOT a ‘race’ issue. Having children is a personal choice; however, when that personal choice affects others in terms of having the burden of paying to support your personal choice (multiple children) — legislation like this is going to be introduced.

    On the surface it seems like it’s a good idea because it is positioned to be an option. But, what happens when other stipulations are imposed. I guess I have a problem when the government tries to intervene on reproductive issues no matter how well intentioned the legislation may be because ultimately you are giving power and dominion to the government to legislate your personal choice as it relates to your reproductive rights.

    The entire welfare system needs to be reformed. I think the key is to restrict how long folks can remain on welfare vs. trying to get folks to voluntarily sterilize themselves. Even after the sterilization, the person is still on welfare and continuing to live off the system which perpetrates the problem.

    this sounds iffy…how can ppl complain about paying welfare when we pay social security? what..y’all gonna start houndin’ older people now cuz we’re helping pay their retirement? no, im not on welfare but i think the problem is that they should regulate welfare. there are ppl who really need it for temporary use. there are rules they can put in place instead of blaming poor ppl supposedly with a lot of kids. maybe some of the ppl on welfare were dependent on a spouse’s paycheck & they split up and now the dependent spouse cant afford to pay for his/her kids. just an example. open up your hearts and minds ppl

  • gimme a break

    and do some research. what makes u think the majority of ppl on welfare have a bunch of illegitimate children? stop swallowing everything youre fed. and there are folks on state assistance who dont get money but get better healthcare or who get unemployment benefits which are paid by the employer not by everyone in the community. yes, they lump all these people into the category of welfare when its not that black and white.

  • scoob-lov

    The funny part of this whole issue is we ALL KNOW a few people that would go for this in a heart beat.

  • scoob-lov

    I worked with a girl years ago, & her dude had 7 kids! 5 mothers! WTF. And this dude use to ask her the kids names and birthdays. No joke, he couldn’t remember. Give this ass his grand right “f”en now!!

  • Anonymous in MD

    If we as blacks would do our research we would see that this is a modern day plan that actually was originated back in the days of slavery. The europeans at the time offered Negroes money to voluntarily sterlize themselves so that they could not produce more “ignorant negroes”. It’s the same concept, 21st century.

    Hi,I live in metairie,la and iam also black.I work as a kitchen desiner and have 2kids.Yes its true white people are on welfare,but the only ones the media showes are black so one would think that only blacks are on welfare.And also white people try to be low key when they need welfare.The only time you see white people spending foodstamps in the media is after a hurricane.There should be a limit of how much you can get,and a time line.They should make them repay it buy helping rebuild elderly people homes after hurricanes.

  • Carla

    There’s a lot of White families that live in trailer parks that are on the county.

    I’m a teacher. I work 2 jobs along with my husband. At my private school we offer subsidized tuition and before/after care for those below the poverty line. We have a parent with 5 kids in which they basically attends for free. All she has to do is pay a co-payment of 10.00 dollars a week for her 5 kids. Do you think she does that? No!! We have to chase her down to pay her money. But her kids stay with the freshest gear, newest hair styles, etc. I say this agenda should be considered. Why should i have to work 2 jobs, struggle to pay healthcare, mortgage, etc. When people like her can stay home, get paid, free healthcare, free access card, almost free private school tuition. Why would her ass want to work? If people like her depend on government dollars to support her lifestyle then the government should be able to have it’s say on her healthcare. Is is genocide? I don’t know about all that. But people have to start being responsible of their security. Stop relying on this plungering government to support you. Economically it’s impossible to support so many people at once. It’s very hard for middle class people to survive, when our tax dollars have to support people like this. I know some people need it temporarily. But they aren’t the ones abusing the system. It’s the ones that refuse to look for a damn job. They can on longer use “I don’t have a babysitter” as an excuse. The state pays for childcare as well! As a matter of fact, if the economy continues to suffer; there will be a trickling effect and subsidized services will be cut off. That’s when crime will increase, when their free stuff gets cut off. All some people know how to do is kill and pro-create.
