Child Support is the New Slavery
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Following next, the welfare system proved the most effective de-facto slavery, because for the first time, it provided a profit margin for the "slaves" to destroy each other. It encouraged a systematic exclusion of Black men from the family, and gave Black women the false impression that this was a workable dynamic. When the system felt that it had achieve its goals, and was once again operating on auto-pilot with Black men and Women at each other, it abolished it, in favor a system that didn't cost them, but paid them even larger profits. As the welfare system was being dismantled, justified by criticisms of welfare fraud, abuse, and mythical stories of welfare queens, a new system was implanted. While simultaneously deconstructing welfare, the government created its next "slavery." During the period of 1990-2000 the system passed 15 new laws in 10 years, amongst which included criminalizing failure to pay child support. "Imposed a Federal criminal penalty for the willful failure to pay a past due child support obligation to a child who resides in another State and that has remained unpaid for longer than a year or is greater than $5,000. For the first conviction, the penalty is a fine of up to $5,000, imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or both; for a second conviction, the penalty is a fine of not more than $250,000, imprisonment for up to 2 years, or both."

As with the previous slavery systems, they provided economic lures (child support payments) to appeal to human greed coupled with the criminal justice system (restraining orders) to effect the removal of the Black man from the household.
We won't belabor the details of the restraining order trick. Nor will this blog attempt to pass judgement on the thousands of hard working, honest, needing, Black women and men who use the system in place for legitimate concerns for themselves and their children. Nor will we deny that the system harms or helps others races or nationalities. However, this blog will attempt to expose the current flaws that make child support a virtual slavery. It contains no less than the abuse, fraud, and child support "queens" as the welfare system did. Moreover, it does not possess any of the protections that welfare used to safeguard the government from being abused by dishonest women. Therefore, being consistent with other forms of slavery and de-facto slavery; it must also be dismantled. As a victim of this system, I am broke, but not broken. So this blog is not for the broken, but for those who are resolved to fight back and break the system as we have broken other slavery systems before it. So do not use this blog to curse, threaten, and talk other foolishness that will only prove that you are who they think you are.
The classic story and movie, A Raisin in the Sun tells the common tragedy of the Black family destroyed by false beliefs, mis-education, and greed in a system that has traps, snares and lures to undermine people who become entangled in it. At one point the family is at each other as the system has designed; Husband against Wife, Mother against Son, Black man against Black women. However, in the end they used their intellect, and instinctive good minds to overcome and prevail. So, I take Sidney Poiter's famous quote from his character in the movie as he rails against the system that has sought to entrap him and the Black family; " ... I am a volcano!"
