  • Star Parker (born 1956) is an American author. Parker is also an advocate and spokesperson for American conservative causes. She holds an undergraduate degree in marketing. Parker is a conservative African American woman who is alleged to have spent her teen and early adult years as an unemployed mother on welfare. She is also alleged to have been arrested in her teens for shoplifting and has disclosed the fact that she has had four abortions. Parker became a Christian and subsequently became a spokesperson for related political issues. She opposes the welfare system, claiming that welfare is similar to an invitation to a government plantation, which creates a situation where those who accept the invitation switch mindsets from "How do I take care of myself?" to "What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?" She claims that stable families and strong moral values are the key to ending poverty. She believes that abortion is wrong and has hurt black families. In 2007, Parker was a guest at the conservative Value Voters Summit and in 2009 was a guest speaker at this same event. Parker is the founder and president of the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education. 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). Parker appeared as co-host on the ABC daytime talk show The View on June 19, 2007. Parker is currently a speaker for the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute's college campus lecture program. Star Parker will appear with Ex Alaska Governor Sarah Palin with the Alaska Family Council and Alaskans for Parental Rights to kick off a statewide signature drive to make teen abortions in Alaska illegal without parental consent
