and if i had to speculate london on the track was probably doing the same thing to summer walker but why what made them so special to these men but only temporarily if i had to speculate it's because they were attractive clearly attractive talented full of potential they were already popular in their own right but i feel what really drove it home and what really made them seem worlds away from the women that came before them was the fact that they had no children completely child free the position of the baby mama and the irreversible shame that comes with that stereotype is something i've been dying to talk about you see this is the part of the video where people realize i really didn't come to talk about the drama i'm just riding in on my PROFANITY_TOKEN off feminist high horse gotcha a baby mama by my understanding is a term most frequently charged at black women used to describe a young mother who is not currently married to or publicly romantically involved with the father of her child it has a negative connotation and usually signifies a lack of respect for and or acknowledgement of the woman's existence outside of when it has to do with the child by my view it is negative because there's a reason why baby mama isn't used interchangeably with ex-wife or ex-girlfriend or simply mother of child it's very similar to people's use of the word female which is so obviously code for woman i don't respect and it's so funny to me when people try to like wiggle their way around it like no when i say female i'm just referring to any woman all women if you wouldn't be comfortable referring to your mother your grandmother your aunties etc as females then there goes your awareness of this disrespectful nature right there i mean for all that work just call me a PROFANITY_TOKEN PROFANITY_TOKEN now on top of all of that when a black woman is called a baby mama there's also often an insinuation of greed there as well i believe that this stereotype only thrives because people are still holding on to the welfare queen myth in a the new republic article bryce covert writes as ronald reagan and other politicians ginned up anti-government and anti-poor resentment in the NUMBER_TOKENs and NUMBER_TOKENs the welfare queen stood in for the idea that black people were too lazy to work instead relying on public benefits to get by she was promiscuous having as many children as possible in order to beef up her benefit intake it was always a myth but it was a potent stereotype which helped fuel a crackdown on the poor and a huge reduction in their benefits and it remains powerful today the welfare queen is said to be inspired by a real-life woman named linda taylor who took on several aliases and used her children to commit welfare fraud now what's interesting about linda taylor is she allegedly committed a slew of crimes in her day including kidnapping abuse and murder and it has been said that those were a product of her mental illness but she wasn't tried and convicted for any of that she was tried and convicted for the thousands of dollars in fraudulent payments she received she should have had to answer for it all like none of it was right but the story of her welfare fraud was fixated on and then over dramatized by politicians to push agendas of lazy poor black people
