Black Culture, Single-Parent Households and Planned Parenthood

The destruction of black culture is attributed to a series of historical events, including the Vietnam War, the crack epidemic, and mass incarceration. The hosts argue that the proliferation of single-parent households and the targeting of the community by Planned Parenthood have further eroded the family structure.

Madame Noir Panel and the Lack of Family Planning

A 2018 panel discussion from the website Madame Noir reveals a mindset among some black women that "no one plans" to be a mother. The hosts express concern that this lack of intentionality is accepted as a norm despite the high rate of single-parent households in the community. They question why there is no pushback against the idea that parenthood is merely an unplanned event.
