Revision as of 17:02, 28 July 2006
Star Parker (b. 1957) is the founder and president of the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education. She is an African American and former welfare mother who converted to Christianity, then became a strong spokeswoman for conservative Christian political issues. This includes opposition to the welfare state that she believes is a dependency trap, while she promotes stable families and self-reliance as the best antidote to poverty, and supports the pro-life message. She is also a syndicated columnist for Scripps Howard News Service and the author of three books: White Ghetto : How Middle Class America Reflects Inner City Decay (2006), Uncle Sam's Plantation: How Big Government Enslaves America's Poor and What We Can Do About It (2003) and Pimps, Whores and Welfare Brats: From Welfare Cheat to Conservative Messenger (1998).
