Most non-blacks who use these terms have little or no idea of the etymology of these phrases. </br><br></br><br>From \u201cA Brief History of baby-daddies\u201d published in Slate Magazine two years ago:</br><br></br><br>    Celebrity gossips are not known for their contributions to English letters. In tabloids, the copy is breathless, the headlines are stunningly literal, and the \u201chand-written\u201d photo captions seem to toggle between \u201cAwww!\u201d and \u201cEw!\u201d But as they zero in on celebrity mating and breeding rituals, the magpies keep breaking new linguistic ground. First they imported the British term bump, a noun used to refer to the protruding abdomen of a pregnant starlet. Then they awarded celebrity couples mash-up nicknames like \u201cBennifer,\u201d \u201cBrangelina,\u201d and \u201cTomKat.\u201d Now they\u2019ve seized upon baby-daddy and baby-mama, two useful terms that have long appeared in hip-hop and R&B; lyrics, and are slowly stripping them of their emotional fangs.</br><br></br><br>    The Oxford English Dictionary defines baby-daddy as \u201cthe father of a woman\u2019s child, who is not her husband or (in most cases) her current or exclusive partner.\u201d The baby-mama entry follows the same template with the genders reversed. But some gossip writers have been adopting the first part of the definition and ignoring the second. Salon recently called Tom Cruise \u201cKatie Holmes\u2019 baby-daddy,\u201d even though the couple is engaged. And Gawker refers to Keven Federline as \u201cBritney Spears\u2019 baby-daddy,\u201d even though the couple has been married for more than a year.</br><br></br><br>    \u2026These days, the terms no longer seem \u201cchiefly African-American\u201d\u2014they\u2019re everywhere, the latest bits of hip-hop lingo to gain widespread use. Baby-daddy is the new bling. Online, you can buy \u201cJesus is my baby-daddy\u201d magnets, tote bags, and beer steins. There is a drink called the \u201cbabymama.\u201d Scott Hoffman, the bassist for the glam rock band the Scissors Sisters, goes by the stage name \u201cBabydaddy.\u201d Some of this cultural paraphernalia retains the old, loaded sense of the term: You can, for example, download a \u201cSalty Baby Mama\u201d ringtone so that when people call, your phone will jangle and thrum while a woman\u2019s voice says, \u201cBaby, I know you hear this damn phone ringing. I\u2019m going to beat your ass, as soon as I see you.\u201d But just as often, the connotations are strictly biological. Baby-mama has even made inroads in Japan, where it\u2019s being used on a Web site that appears to sell strollers.</br><br></br><br>    Who knows why these terms became catchphrases? Perhaps it\u2019s just that they\u2019re metrically pleasing: Baby-mama and baby-daddy are undeniably fun to say. But it\u2019s the novelty factor that explains how the words lost their negative connotations. Sure, there are many gossip writers who still use the terms in their original senses (calling dancer Carlos Leon \u201cMadonna\u2019s baby-daddy,\u201d for example) because they\u2019re useful, reducing a complex chain of possessives\u2014Madonna\u2019s daughter\u2019s father\u2014to a nice, comprehensible noun. But it seems there are also plenty of writers who just like the way the words sound and don\u2019t care much about the stigma once attached to babydaddyhood. When news came last week that Anna Nicole Smith may be pregnant, it was no surprise that bloggers immediately began speculating about the identity of the \u201cbaby daddy.\u201d It may be a long time before you hear a quaint, old-fashioned \u201cWho\u2019s the dad?\u201d</br><br></br><br>Given the current mainstream usage and how it has devolved from something shameful into something 'cute' to be slapped on a t-shirts and strollers, it is difficult to see how this is such a big deal.</br><br></br><br>Again, knee-jerk reactions of racism will backfire. Calling Michelle Obama, Obama's baby mama is hardly any more offensive than calling Cindy McCain, McCain's 'pill-popping piece on the side.</br><br></br><br>This is being blown up into a big deal to keep black folks from ever voting Republican.

In tabloids, the copy is breathless, the headlines are stunningly literal, and the “hand-written” photo captions seem to toggle between “Awww!” and “Ew!” But as they zero in on celebrity mating and breeding rituals, the magpies keep breaking new linguistic ground. First they imported the British term bump, a noun used to refer to the protruding abdomen of a pregnant starlet. Then they awarded celebrity couples mash-up nicknames like “Bennifer,” “Brangelina,” and “TomKat.” Now they’ve seized upon baby-daddy and baby-mama, two useful terms that have long appeared in hip-hop and R&B; lyrics, and are slowly stripping them of their emotional fangs.</br><br></br><br>    The Oxford English Dictionary defines baby-daddy as “the father of a woman’s child, who is not her husband or (in most cases) her current or exclusive partner.” The baby-mama entry follows the same template with the genders reversed. But some gossip writers have been adopting the first part of the definition and ignoring the second. Salon recently called Tom Cruise “Katie Holmes’ baby-daddy,” even though the couple is engaged. And Gawker refers to Keven Federline as “Britney Spears’ baby-daddy,” even though the couple has been married for more than a year.</br><br></br><br>    …These days, the terms no longer seem “chiefly African-American”—they’re everywhere, the latest bits of hip-hop lingo to gain widespread use. Baby-daddy is the new bling. Online, you can buy “Jesus is my baby-daddy” magnets, tote bags, and beer steins. There is a drink called the “babymama.” Scott Hoffman, the bassist for the glam rock band the Scissors Sisters, goes by the stage name “Babydaddy.” Some of this cultural paraphernalia retains the old, loaded sense of the term: You can, for example, download a “Salty Baby Mama” ringtone so that when people call, your phone will jangle and thrum while a woman’s voice says, “Baby, I know you hear this damn phone ringing. I’m going to beat your ass, as soon as I see you.” But just as often, the connotations are strictly biological. Baby-mama has even made inroads in Japan, where it’s being used on a Web site that appears to sell strollers.</br><br></br><br>    Who knows why these terms became catchphrases? Perhaps it’s just that they’re metrically pleasing: Baby-mama and baby-daddy are undeniably fun to say. But it’s the novelty factor that explains how the words lost their negative connotations. Sure, there are many gossip writers who still use the terms in their original senses (calling dancer Carlos Leon “Madonna’s baby-daddy,” for example) because they’re useful, reducing a complex chain of possessives—Madonna’s daughter’s father—to a nice, comprehensible noun. But it seems there are also plenty of writers who just like the way the words sound and don’t care much about the stigma once attached to babydaddyhood. When news came last week that Anna Nicole Smith may be pregnant, it was no surprise that bloggers immediately began speculating about the identity of the “baby daddy.” It may be a long time before you hear a quaint, old-fashioned “Who’s the dad?”</br><br></br><br>Given the current mainstream usage and how it has devolved from something shameful into something \'cute\' to be slapped on a t-shirts and strollers, it is difficult to see how this is such a big deal.</br><br></br><br>Again, knee-jerk reactions of racism will backfire. Calling Michelle Obama, Obama\'s baby mama is hardly any more offensive than calling Cindy McCain, McCain\'s \'pill-popping piece on the side.</br><br></br><br>This is being blown up into a big deal to keep black folks from ever voting Republican. Nothing more.</br></div>\

Hip-hop being a black form of music (when I want it to be) has developed its own culture and is more of a division of black culture mixed in now with more mainstream elements than black culture itself, which is diverse and nuanced. When people think of hip-hop culture as black culture, you get people who walk up to my straight laced 55 year old father going "What up dog!", "I\'m feelin da bling" etc...and it can be demeaning.

I had no idea the phrase even ever had any racial connotations to it. Language evolves. Phrases and their meanings change. It\'s pretty clear from pop culture that that\'s the case here. Fox was dumb to use it, of course, but overreaction is just as bad considering:</i></br><br></br><br>-Michelle Obama herself who referred to Barack as her “baby’s daddy” and has used the phrase “baby daddy” to describe Barack while on the stump this year. (Senate victory speech, Nov. 2, 2004)</br><br></br><br>-The Oxford English Dictionary defines baby-daddy as “the father of a woman’s child, who is not her husband or (in most cases) her current or exclusive partner.” The baby-mama entry follows the same template with the genders reversed. </br><br></br><br>-Online, you can buy “Jesus is my baby-daddy” magnets, tote bags, and beer steins. Scott Hoffman, the bassist for the glam rock band the Scissors Sisters, goes by the stage name “Babydaddy.” Baby-mama has even made inroads in Japan, where it’s being used on a Web site that appears to sell strollers. (Michelle Malkin, "We\'re going to hell")</br><br></br><br>I think the first one is what confuses me the most. If Michelle Obama uses the phrase herself to refer to her own family, how can it be offensive?</br><br></br><br></br><br></br><br>THAT\'S NOT ME. it\'s just the prevailing attitude out in the world, i fear.</br></div>\

I hate when Blacks are anyone else is disrespected or stereotyped. Just wrong!!! But you can\'t be a college educated woman and introduce your husband as baby daddy and not get disrespected. I also remember when she did that and cringed. It took awhile for me to liker her after that. I knew what it could cause, and I thought she should have had more class. She nor her mother were baby mamas so why put yourself in that class. Just a thought. Yes it was wrong to call her that, but don\'t call yourself that first. I don\'t agree with D, but I think you all are beating him up for no real reason. He is not defending FOX News. I know I am not, but like him I want Mrs. Obama  to do better and not call her husband a Baby Daddy. Fox news is wrong wrong wrong, but don\'t given a reason. No Fox would not do this to Mrs. McCain.

It was tacky and uncalled for.<br></br><br>That doesn\'t, IMO, give a news channel license to do the same thing.</br><br></br><br>As other posters have stated, if it\'s ok to call Michelle Obama a "baby mama" in the chyron because she called Barack her baby\'s daddy, then it would also be ok put "C*unt" or "Trollop" in the chyron under Cindy McCain, b/c that\'s what McCain called his wife in public.</br><br></br><br>Come on, if they were discussing Carol McCain and Cindy McCain, they would not put "Trollop?" in the chyron under Cindy\'s picture and if they did, there would be severe consequences and repercussions.</br><br></br><br>The excuse that "Well Michelle Obama said it first" just doesn\'t fly with me because I don\'t think any of the news organizations would have gone there PLUS they were not talking about Michelle and Barack and the girls or the Obama family in general or how Michelle manages motherhood with the rigors of the campaign, they were talking about GOP attacks on Michelle Obama which has nothing to do with Michelle being a mom or being the mother of Barack\'s children.</br></div>\

The hollow, dead eyes and deluded evil rantings of your talking head vampires clearly weren’t enough to sufficiently convey their hateful and bigoted message, so it’s awesome that you guys were right there to back them up with some casual racism and misogyny there at the bottom of the screen.
