I will be 50 next year and have seen and read many things.

I am not generalizing. This is not 30-40% of Black women. Just 50-70%.

The pervasiveness of this term was none existent when I was growing up. It was not until the late 60's and early 70's that you started hearing this term because so many women were having to raise families on their own as illegitimacy began to take a foot hold on the black community.

Single motherhood coupled with Government welfare helped to perpetuate a normalcy of fatherless households. To hide this stigma, the banner was worn.

Pre-welfare, Men were in the household because they were the bread winners. With the advent of women being able to get a check and not work, men began to move out of the household to allow for the money to be received. "Sticking it to the man".

Later, that became a way of life. A man would several families and many would brag about how many women and children he had all across town. With that, boys grew not into men like my Father and Grandfathers, but they grew into the bums we see today.

And welfare queens produced more and more breeders who view men as paychecks and not as Fathers. The term SBW denotes more of a "I can pay my bills without the Father being there. Just send me a check".

  • and what are most black men raising? Nobody because as soon as they get a girl pregnant the head for the hills. Oh my god responsibility for a child!! How can I deal with that!!! How dare you do a video criticizing black woman raising children. what about black men? maybe if these women had help with raising the children everything would be better. black women just need to stop having children with irresponsible men.
