My first question concerns why FNC would even think to use such slang to describe Mrs. Obama. I thought “baby mama” was a reference to women who have children out of wedlock? Or are we using the term for all mothers now?
Oh, and yes, people will cry racism over this.
I think most people don’t know what it means originally. The words are what a linguistically limited hoodrat uses to introduce the girlfriend of the moment who produced a child for him and the county welfare department. As in, “she my baby momma,” meaning she’s the mother of my baby.
I think somebody at Fox picked up the term because Obama is always trying to identify with that crowd and because it rhymes with Obama. It’s NY Post style headline writing.
They said it because Michelle Obama referred to her husband at a recent public appearance as "My baby' daddy."
Yeah. Maybe I live in a cave and don’t know it, but I’ve never heard the phrase “baby mama” before, so I don’t see anything particularly racist about it.
Hell, this might be fun. Make up a phrase - um, “carrot thumper,” “dial rover,” “roving catwalker” and see how long it takes Obama & Co. to cry “RACIST!” over it.
Sadly, since the left IS going to cry “RACIST!” at any and all attempts to say ANYTHING negative about President Obama (they already have him elected, as usual), what’s really distressing is that our side is going to spend every day from now until election day apologizing for simply being alive, since, after all, we’re not supporting Barack Obama, and are therefore obviously racists.
Sigh. This would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.
Is it "racist"? How dare people question the legitimacy of hip-hop terms. They are the racists ~ racist pigs in fact.
