Target is selling baby daddy cards for Father's Day, and they're using black couples on the cover

[invalid]

This. A lot of respectability politics up in here.

You say that as if it's wholly a bad thing.

Why this dude on the cover of the card letting his baby momma kiss him on the lips when she probably just sucked someone else off? :_charles:

The same site that promotes never getting married, now wants to have a discussion about baby mama/daddy culture

This thread is an eye opener

I wish you luck @BmoreGorilla

Literally a common phrase in the black community. Who could be mad at this? I wouldn't buy it, nor would I want it, because I plan to be more than a baby daddy and I don't celebrate ignorance then get mad that others want to sell what I celebrate.

This is a very misleading and antiquated stat. Just because people are not married doesn’t mean they’re not together.

Facts. I’m not married and don’t plan on it, but I’m with the mother of my children.

You're either shytty parents or you're not

You are not doing the children or society any favors by being shytty parents that are married.

You are not doing the children any favors by having a two parent household if you're a piece of shyt and a bad parent. Drug and alcohol abuse, domestic, mental, emotional, physical and sexual abuse all exist within the confines of a married, two parent household. But I'll let white people continue to tell you that it's better. Hell white people will tell you it's perfectly acceptable to be a single parent as long as your income is high enough

Oh, but wait....they are marketing this toward black people and other lower income people because a white single father, divorced father is still a father.

THIS is the point I was tryin to make to these fukkin c00ns
Also it isn't always the mothers/fathers fault for why its a single parent household, the other parent could've gotten killed, arrested, died .etc

If black people got married before having children this wouldn't be a problem

i wanna neg...but this shyt was hilarious....

I don't know what the hell the point of or need for such cards is, but on a forum where "GMB" has a huge following, feels like we need to clean up our own house first.

Also it isn't always the mothers/fathers fault for why its a single parent household, the other parent could've gotten killed, arrested, died .etc

It's not even that deep. Plenty of people are rational enough to raise a child appropriately without living together and treating each other like shyt.

White folks using that term now. Sounds weird every time I hear them say it.

 

[Kings County]

It’s gonna take more than that to shock me at this point.

might be a black company making it
gotta see the source

Not really. The term “baby daddy” just means a man you have a child with but are not married to. Whether you are still dating or not is not relevant to the term.
