I used to work with a woman who was a grandmother at age 31. She and her daughter were strikingly pretty, which I guess is a curse when you're Okie white trash.

Not to patriotize, but you seem a little brighter than the "offending" in the article.

Maybe Geekbabe can teach the mother to "do computers".

I seriously thought that black people could only have brown/black eyes (and hair). How do the alleles (correct term?) work if a black person procreates with, say, a German? 😕

She and Russell are living with her mother and three little brothers in the Lincoln Homes complex in Rock Island, where the family moved five years ago.

They left Chicago after Leticia heard about a friend moving to the Quad-Cities and how much low-income housing was available.

Welfare and section 8 housing FTL.

Wow...I would comment further, but I think the above lines clearly say it all.

:sigh;
 
Must be Whitey's fault that this bastard was born to a 15 year old and has a 29 year old grandmother, 70% chance of never having a father, and great odds of ending up a highschool drop out.
 
Its the good old "cycle of poverty" at work here, really is hard to know who to blame. On one hand you gotta think this chick is a total retard having a kid at 15 and has more or less screwed her life over before it even started. But then again what do you expect from a child raised by an uneducated teenager? The only sure thing here is that even if the mom did live to be a great great great grandmother its highly unlikely any of those kids would ever get past a minimum wage job (and a good number would likely be unemployed on welfare or in jail).

I know its the most horribly wrong thing to say ever, but I almost feel that people who don't have at least a high school education should not even be allowed to breed, you are just condemning your children to poverty and condemning the children of the educated to pay for your offspring who can't take care of themselves. It should be like in China where you get tax breaks for NOT having kids, not other other way around.

For starters, state-endorsed longterm anti-pregnancy injections mandated on an annual basis for ALL females up to the age of 21.

Is it wrong that i loled at that?

I feel sorry for the kids born into a situation like that. But then again, even after she had the kid, she seemed more concerned about playing Basketball then the fact that she just screwed up her life. Oh well.
 
Bah at 29? That's a bit of a let down. That meant they were average 14 when they got pregnant. I thought it would be some extreme like 12. Grandma at 24 would be crazy.

Hell, that's probably a $1000+ per month raise right there, when you include extra food stamps.

Welfare pays pretty well for the folks who know how to work it. :|
 
One of the many reasons immigrants like myself are sucessfull, we don't do this kind of stupid things, popping babies after babies while we couldn't afford them.

Pride, self respect, and determination can do wonder.
