Why black women don’t breastfeed

I found this post so sad when I read it, I just wanted to see opinions, I definitely get this from the black community, it’s sad that it’s not mentioned more, most of everyone else has the luxury to breastfeed and keep feeding for up to a year where as most black women are not given that option, especially with the single mother ratings being a lot higher, we have to work and leave and afford daycare and all that stuff. Not that other women don’t have this same problem, but it’s more predominant in the black community, ugh, I know for a fact I can’t breastfeed FULLY for too long bc I have to work, and I can’t afford to not go in even only a few weeks after having my son. 😓
