Are you saying you're also ok with using the phrase "white trash" to describe white people on welfare while using "poor black community" to describe black people in an identical situation?

As I said before and see again, you've got a tin ear. This is not what the previous poster did. "White trash" is a term that existed before there was any government welfare at all.

Obama has already addressed the difference.

It isn’t racist for blacks to hate whitey.
It is racist for whitey to mention race at all.

“Baby’s Daddy”, “Baby Mama”
Just more terms that denegrate the traditional family.

This whole “Obama’s baby mamma” and “My babies daddy” thread reminds me of this Airplane scene:

Randy: Can I get you something?
Second Jive Dude: ‘S’mofo butter layin’ me to da’ BONE! Jackin’ me up... tight me!
Randy: I’m sorry, I don’t understand.
First Jive Dude: Cutty say ‘e can’t HANG!
Jive Lady: Oh stewardess! I speak jive.
Randy: Oh, good.
Jive Lady: He said that he’s in great pain and he wants to know if you can help him.
Randy: All right. Would you tell him to just relax and I’ll be back as soon as I can with some medicine?
Jive Lady: Jus’ hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da’ rebound on da’ med side.
Second Jive Dude: What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no dummies. I dug her rap!
Jive Lady: Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don’ want no help, chump don’t GET da’ help!
First Jive Dude: Say ‘e can’t hang, say seven up!
Jive Lady: Jive a** dude don’t got no brains anyhow! Hmmph!

yes, and they are married, so it isn’t fitting, in any case.

The funniest part of that scene was that the “translator” was June Cleaver.

“white trash” was used as the caucasion equivalent of the “n word”.

Sheets Byrd didn’t bother, he just said “White n*”, on national TV, and not a word out of the left.

There isn’t a double standard, okay noob?

Look. There’s an undeniable link to acting trashy and being poor. People that get pregnant out of wedlock are statistically more likely to be poor. This has nothing to do with race, but with culture and behavior. It’s all part of the same mentality.

If you want to make a crusade out of my use of terms, go right ahead. But you’re not thinking very deeply about this, and you’re making yourself out to be a crybaby. Get over yourself.

That is really a stupid thing for Foxnews to do. Emotions are blinding the judgments of many on our side. Instead of focusing on Obama the socialist and defeatist they are generating sympathy to Obama by using stupid name calling or going after Obama citizenship or Obama picture on a bike or a second and a third degree guilt by association, etc...

I smell desperation in the air. This has got to be one of the top 10 deceptive titles. First it looks to me that Michelle Malkin not a FNC achor said this. Second she was quoting "outraged liberals" so these aren't even her words. Gee. Wonder what in the Obama campaign is recent days is the MSM trying to distract us from.

When the reaction to input is disproportionate to that input,

you must assume that there is something else involved.

Update (from Michelle Malkin): Salon is in high dudgeon over a caption that Fox ran during my segment referring to Michelle Obama as Obama’s “baby mama.” I did not write the caption and I was not aware of it when it ran (the Baltimore studio doesn’t have a monitor). I don’t know if the caption writer was making a lame attempt to be hip, clueless about the original etymology of the phrase, or both. But I do know that it was Michelle Obama herself who referred to Barack as her “baby’s daddy” and has used the phrase “baby daddy” to describe Barack while on the stump this year.

Here’s how she introduced him during his Senate victory speech on Nov. 2, 2004:

MICHELLE OBAMA, WIFE OF BARACK OBAMA: "My baby’s daddy Barack Obama. Yeah!"

Well it's basically correct, if grammatically challenged. But it does make Fox look stupid.

If this is supposed to be an insult or slur...I don’t get it. its an intimate term of endearment...but the rabid frothing at the mouth Dems, are just schizo in the mad rage to find insult in anything they thinkl comes from “the Right”...even if they have to manufacture it.
