Target is apologizing to offended customers after shoppers began slamming the retailer for offering "Baby Daddy" greeting cards ahead of Father’s Day, and after one Twitter user calling them “an insult to black fathers and a slap in the face to the African-American community as a whole.”

I thought baby daddy was a word describing an un-married father
regardless of race or skin color.
Let us not forget Michelle Obama once famously introduced Barack Obama as “my baby’s daddy.”

Well, I am offended that the people this is marketed to do not have enough of a grasp of the language to use the possessive, “my baby’s daddy”, but rather “my baby daddy”. It is lazy and ignorant. It isn’t cute, and should not be normalized.
Rumor Target lost Web Hubbel’s business over this.
The most confusing day of the year? Father’s Day in Oakland, CA.
Truth hurts sometimes.
I am not a grammar nazi (I try not to be) but the McDonald’s slogan “I’m Loving It” makes me grit my teeth.
Better to send a card to your sperm donor than not at all. At least you know who he is.
Anyone remember the 60s show Baby Daddy Knows Best?
Happy Baby Daddy Day from your half twins.
Remember when Mooch referred to Obama as her “Baby Daddy”? She knows her audience.
76% are bastards and Father's Day cards are a serious topic?
WTF?
Insult to sperm donors.
“Baby Daddy” is their term but I guess it is like the “N” word where they own it exclusively. Our culture is pathetic.

Those #s, and the size of govt, quickly drop.
Trash comes in all colors.
White people across the street run basically what you would call a flop house. Young male living in a camper in the yard has a different girl over every night. I have discovered that each girl has child under the age of 1, by someone other than the camper boy, and camper boy has a child under the age of 6 who lives with camper boys mother in the next town over.
House owner has a granddaughter who has 2 children under the age of 2, by 2 different men. Was talking to the house owner the other day, she told me the granddaughter was trying to SELL the youngest child, a girl, for $30,000. I have tried to figure out where the granddaughter is now in order to report her, but to no avail.
Other floppers have small children in other towns & states in which they do not take care of. How can they when all they do all day is hang out & get high. This is just 1 house in a neighborhood. I’m sure trash like this is in other houses here.
I am desperate to get out of here, as the neighborhood is drastically changing, & not for the better. But where is there to go that isn’t overrun by the amish ferals, white trash, gang members & drugs.
I just want to live in peace.
