It's paraphrasing "Gone With The Wind", where the young slave girl, whose name escapes me,plaintively says, "I dunno nuttin' 'bout birthin' babies, Mz. Scarlett."

It's also a reference to her 9/11 commission testimony.

I believe the character's name was Prissy... she was played, I think, by Butterfly McQueen.
