Narrating a new MSNBC "Lean Forward" spot, the Tulane professor laments that we in America "haven't had a very collective notion that these are our children." "[W]e have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to their communities," Harris-Perry argued.

NewsBusters also reminds readers that Melissa Harris-Perry considers the unborn child a "thing" which takes a "lot of money" to "turn into a human," costing thousands of dollars to care for each year of his/her life.
P.S.- It is not the community that decides to have a child. Not the community that rocks that child to sleep every night. Not the community that feeds the child, clothes the child and keeps a roof over their head. It is not the community who bears responsibility for teaching a child right from wrong.
It is called personal responsibility.
Learn it that phrase Ms. Harris-Perry, because some members of the "community" still believe in it.
[Update- 4/9/13] Harris-Perry isn't the first to believe children belong to a community and not their parents... Hitler expressed the same mindset: (William Shirer, Rise and Fall of the Third Reich New York: Simon and Schuster, 1960), 249.)
Adolf Hitler said it first. He was upfront about the ultimate objective:
“When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ [Hitler] said in a speech on November 6, 1933, “I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already.What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.’” And on May 1, 1937, [Hitler] declared, “This new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.
