That mama thing has been used before for Cindy Sheehan. The media uses it in a futile attempt to cut off critizism of someone they champion.

The usual victim-pimping, perpetually-outraged suspects are crying “racism!”
The only people that take cries of “racism” seriously any more are those making the charges. Cry “Wolf” often enough and eventually no one cares. So what?

That’s really a terrible term to use to refer to Michelle Obama. Outrageous. The only thing that’s more outrageous are the reasons the term is so prevalent.
“Baby mama” specifically refers to the not-married woman who is the mother of your child. In urban African-American culture, that reference is common because of the incredible number of children born out of wedlock.
Even in the 1960s, when black Americans were in the height of civil rights strife, 23 percent of black babies were born out of wedlock, a modest figure compared with 70 percent today.
Fox should be ashamed, but so should a lot of men for having baby mamas, not wives.

Excellent point Bat. Therefore, some people care about it while others don’t.
Thank you for confirming that you don’t care that people are racist.
I take them seriously and that’s why i defend the statements that aren’t racist and identify the ones that are.
Unfortunately, having an honest debate about race on this site is all but impossible.

So speaks our resident racist.
As for baby mama, I remember hearing it back in the late ‘80s.
