Rutgers professor says white people deserve low birth rates
A professor at Rutgers University said that white people can’t afford to have children and “kind of deserve it” in a September virtual conference hosted by a prominent black-oriented publication.

So here we have a "a professor of women’s and gender studies and Africana studies at Rutgers" [try to control your gag reflex] saying that "white" people are declining to have (more) children because they fear that they will not be able to nurture them into the middle class. Hold that thought.
At the same time, ponder the facts that (a) 70% - roughly - of African American births over the past decade have been to single women, and (b) single parenthood is the single biggest factor in essentially every major social problem in our society, namely, dropping out of school, substance abuse, petty and serious criminality, and of course, daughters of single mothers are dramatically more likely to have illegitimate children themselves.
So follow the logic of this college professor: Rather than saying that Black women ought to take a hint from their "white" sisters and NOT HAVE KIDS THAT THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO NURTURE INTO THE MIDDLE CLASS, she ridicules the aforesaid women for having the timidity to make that entirely logical and proper value judgment.
And is that not the Democracy-hating Stacey Abrams on the stage with her?
On might also be mindful of the peripheral fact that public tax dollars are paying the salary and benefits of a person whose role in life is to teach mainly-Black students about life...that is to say, to highlight how oppressed they are and remind them - hint, hint - of who their oppressors are.
As I said parenthetically above, try to control your gag reflex.
