Fair enough. We really need to reform the system we have that "rewards" having kids when one is not ready to support them.

But we have a bunch of unsupported kids out there already we need to deal with.

And yes, Welfare Queens exist, but hood rich ain't the same as real rich. They would be much better off with an education and a decent job.

How avant garde of them... But, they are also idiots to think that was a good idea.

I have to say, those hippies moved down here to NO and put their money where their mouth was unlike some of these race pimps around Baton Rouge. It sucks those kids are losing that center. No matter who is to blame for them being in the life predicament they are, those Californians gave those kids hope and a hit meal. This makes me sad on so many levels.

that's where I am with this. We constantly hear from west coast liberals how racist us southerners are. Yet, they never want to come here and show us the way, so to speak.

This family did. And I give them props for that.

Maybe. Sure seems like when kids are shown a better life is out there, many times, they are able to take advantage of it. History is filled with tons of stories of kids who made it out of the hood.




You do know these parents tear that down right? The kids go home and unlearn that shite, get knocked down a rung or two by their shite parents.

This is so sad. Every day we tear families apart by sending parents to jail when we should be putting the little shithead kids in jail too

You can be responsible for paying for their after-school activities. Or, you can be responsible for paying for their jail time, because that's where most of these kids are headed without any intervention.



Maybe we should take all these vulnerable kids out of the hood, away from the negative influences.

Board them at some big farm where they can learn agriculture and how to grow their own food and be self sufficient. Learn useful skills, eat healthy and get big and strong. They could raise livestock, Learn how to butcher animals and cook and clean them.


Learn the value of hard work and not grow up with the only influences being saggin pants and rap music.

Meh, most of the time the parents don't care enough to even try to undo it.

Most of them and also yankees who call southerners racist don’t wanna be anywhere near a black person in reality. We are the ones who play, go to school, hang out with after school, work, home cookouts, etc with black folks, not racist yankees and racist liberals from out west.

Looks like they didn't scout out their new location very well before moving.

And don't forget the wife-beater tee shirts. Oh look, 2 of the kids in the picture are already wearing them. It's the hood rat, thug uniform shirt.

I appreciate your post.

The truth is this woman is doing the work of the Lord. She will be rewarded for it. I believe that.

And I’m praying one, two or maybe a half dozen of these kids will be saved because of the love this woman gave to them. Maybe not, but she could be making a difference on her own.
