@ David,
I think the real issue is that Black Gay and Black Bis*xual Men need to stop having unprotected s*x with both men and women or better yet the Black Church needs to address this issue so that folk don't have to be on the "down low" and be free to come out and be who they want to be.

@ Saint
[So black women and men need to reject the 'welfare system' that negates the insititution of marriage and according to some black women allows them to have the option of having babies without the commitment of marriage... ]

I second that notion! I remember when I was single, I had a fine young Black dude ask me to have his baby without any mention of committment. I thought to myself what kind of fool must he think I am?
