I would love to have a child or children for the right reasons though. For me, the right reasons would be to ensure the survival of blck folks with common sense and to extend my lineage. However, even those reasons would be self-serving and as a result I have elected to forego fathering any children. I may adopt or become a foster parent later, but for now I'm going to keep my seed to myself.
Most of you know that for the past few days I have been on a rant about how heinous some black parents can be. In fact the most popular post on my blog (I am gaguing this based on the number of comments) Was about how black men have FAILED their children. I know I have the skills to be a good parent, but I also realize that being a father is a monumental commitment. My life would no longer be my own and anything I did would have to positively affect the life of my child.
Today's post is another episode in the life and times of children who have RETARDS for parents. Where are birth control pills, condoms, and abortion when they are definitely needed? In the mile high city, Westside Story meets COLORS meets Boyz N Da Hood and it all goes terribly wrong from there. Two WINNERS in Denver Colorado had a knock-down, dragged-out, knuckle- thumping, let-me-take-out-my-vaseline, fight over what GANG or SET their 4 year old should claim. Should I say more? Do I really need to? This is why TEENAGERS SHOULD NOT HAVE CHILDREN. I am so completely disgusted with how people approach parenthood with such a cavalier attitude.
So to these 2 winners, I present the 2nd "You Need to be Slapped Unconscious Award" and I can only hope that jail time and a possible termination of parental rights is in the near future.
*SIGH*

Hi there!
Hope over to SheCodes house and bring a few brothas with you for the discussion we started yesterday. We need some male voices in that dialogue.
And thanks so much for this post about teenager parents.
If a 19-year old has a 4-year old then I am wondering if sexual abuse has occurred in the history of the mother of the 4-year old that she was pregnant by a school boy by the age of 15. Children learn sexual behavior and when they learn it so early, I start wondering.
Unfortunately, teenagers having babies is such a norm that many black women in the lower socioeconomic segment now look at anyone strangely who has not had a child out of wedlock by the age of 25. I wish I were kidding but I am not.
Thanks for letting me blow my trumpet!

Lol, I wish I could get about it but I think your mad enough for me.
"This is why TEENAGERS SHOULD NOT HAVE CHILDREN. I am so completely disgusted with how people approach parenthood with such a cavalier attitude."
If only the problem was limited to teenagers...
First my eyes popped when I read "I'm gonna run out and get someone pregnant!!" Then I read the second part about the 4 year old. lol. Still reeling from the pregnant thing, lol.
I think we should get some medical professionals and some psychiatrist gathered together in twos to go to the projects to test these stupid-asses who pour malt liquor and cognac down the throats of these children.
My first thought would to take these adults (and I use that term loosely) and lock them up in some camp for stupid criminals. A camp to civilize them and teach them how human beings with children.
