The Knowledge/Power Dilemma and the Myth of the Supermother: a Critique of the Innocent Owner Defense in Narcotics Forfeiture of the Family Home	1997	30	.pdf	application/pdf	13086	536	60	Undoubtedly, black mothers have been scapegoated for the problems of the black community through, as Dorothy Roberts puts it, the myth of the Black matriarch, the domineering head of the Black family. The report argued that slavery had forced the community into a matriarchal structure which, because it was so out of line with the rest of American society...seriously retards the progress of the group as a whole. Readers might well wonder how easy the black civil rights leaders had made it for Senator Moynihan's Committee to blame black mothers.	cache/cjgl-2393.pdf	txt/cjgl-2393.txt
