@AnthonyJK @julieofthespirits @AnarchoNinaAnalyzes I'm referring to the history of welfare requiring "men who could work" to not be in the home, lest the family not be able to receive benefits, policy that was implemented during the Johnson Admin.
The family "unity" colonizers want for colonized peoples comes necessarily with the stripping of any ability of said family to be a source of its own liberation. Time & theory & practice of the oppressor dictate what kind of "family" we can have.
