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

[TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY]

Businesses are about profits and targeting niche markets.

With that said, I’m not mad at them for the attempt, I’m mad at them for not paying attention to what happens when you piss off a certain demographic. Ask H&M

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

The difference is I don’t feel bad bc cacs made the card

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.

77% of black children are b*stards, I don't see a problem with them targeting an existing market.

77% black births to single moms, 49% for Hispanic immigrants

Actually based on the latest 2016 numbers LINK (see p. 31) it is at 70%, which is hardly great but down from the 77% peak. I don't like to just throw numbers out there even though the situation isn't good. But since White women are having 29% of their births out of wedlock and they are 4x our female population there is an even bigger market for White baby mamas, no?

Who made these cards? As in black, white, or Chinese, company?

From being last in every economic metric in America we shouldn't be having kids at all then. Marriage is not an guarantee to all being "white" If a woman pick a piece of shyt to reproduce with you would have the same dysfunctional community rather married or not. After spending 30 plus years in mostly black environment to move to place that's 97% white I can honestly say that white women have the same fukking problem they just have no problem killing a pregnancy or will find some sucks to claim them.

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

I think the H&M fiasco was tone deafness. The difference between this situation and that is I think a few of us would actually go out and purchase the card and not think nothing of it because, not only the term but the “idea” has become so engrained.

Man.........Thecoli really defending this

It's sad.

We have to strive to do better.

 

[Pazzy]

Proof of this? Yall really believing fake news from a gossip blog.

You dont get it

Woefully ignorance being displayed all in this thread

If we look at the dysfunction of the black community it comes down to instability at the home. The black family is in shambles. Baby daddy and baby mama culture is prevalent in the black and Hispanic community. You cannot deny it. It is true. All the black/hispanic broads that were bad/cheerleader squad that I went to high school are all single mothers now. I am 27 and that shyt is sad. I could care less about hispanics but if we want the black community to move forward we have to critique ourselves and fix this out of wedlock/sing parent household in which every study states states there is a greater risk of abuse,neglect,less likely to finish high school and college. These are all facts. not every child who is raised by a single parent will suffer from those but it is just the risk is higher. And as a community in which we are last in every economic metric in America we cannot afford to accept baby daddy and baby mama culture.
