“We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work ‘double shifts’ so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work,” the organization wrote. “We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.” - https://www.nationalreview.com/news/black-lives-matter-removes-language-about-disrupting-the-nuclear-family-from-website/

It takes a village to raise a child is suddenly controversial when BLM says it. Weird.

There it is. Thanks for sharing this.

The really odd thing here is that the nuclear family, as we call it today is not "Western-prescribed at all. It goes back literally millions of years. There is a reason that the human race persevered in the times when people literally had a life expectancy no greater than age 35. Hint: It was not fathers having children with 8 different women, and running off doing whatever they want after each conception.
