I could name 50 men that have 3 or more baby mamas. Women are the whores tho.

Vendetta1 said:

I didn't call her a ho. But I'd say the same thing about a man in the same situation. It just shows poor judgment about family planning and safe sexual practices especially when dealing with celebs in this day and age. This shit's just not safe OR smart.

SCNDLS said:

I didn't say you called her a ho.

But it's been said on this thread.

I don't know lady. Maybe I would feel differently if I gave a damn. I can be judgey but I am not going to put someone out my life or not be a friend over something they choose to do that has nothing to do with me and harms no one.

Vendetta1 said:

I know I'm just saying. And all of this is just for discussion's sake as far as I'm conderned. I don't have any skin in the game and she ain't cuttin' me no checks.

Yeah, I'd be friends with her cuz she seems mad cool but I'd still look at her sideways about this shit like I would any of my homegirls. I just get the feeling she'd be the type of girl calling me to cry about the latest dude that did her dirty but doesn't learn her lesson.

I don't know whether or not the dick was good, but one thang's fa damn sho'...that pussay is off the muthafuckin' chizzain to where cats was REFUSIN' to bail out!

Vendetta1 said:

DirtyChris said:

Deluded my ass! When you have kids, you do what is necessary to make sure they are provided for: POINT BLANK. That is the epitome of the priority of raising kids right... no matter what the situation is. If children understand their surroundings and all parties involved are amicable with it, then so be it. Anything else is just being judgmental and shows only a concern for who women are fucking as opposed to acknowledging that the children are well taken care of.

bsk3601 said:

In my poor attempt of being facetious, this was the point I was trying to make.

Don't half of the marriages in the U.S. end in divorce? Don't twice as many women file for divorce petitions than men? So, marriage is the all to end all, uh?

Look, ideally one would hope all children could grow up in a two parent home. But the reality is more often than not today they don't... and the reasons vary why. Most kids are pretty resilient and you would hope both parents could and have put aside their differences and work together to make sure (as best they can) their kids become productive and stable member's of society. Audience makes a very valid point, but women having babies without the benefit of marriage didn't just start yesterday.... irrespective if the man stayed on the scene or not. What has changed, many of these girls/women don't have the maturity, mother wit, patience, financial, or educational resources to get their babies from infancy to adulthood. Plus, boys/men MIA.....

Though money isn't everything in this country, money determines how much money your school district gets or doesn't, it determines if live in a community that economically viable or an economic wasteland, it determines whether your community infrastructure is up to date and other resources are plentiful, it determines rather you live in a community of crime, drugs, despair, gangs, and violence. When you've combined those issues I've already mention plus these, this makes children vulnerable to not being productive people.(IMHO)

It appears all of use are making judgments about someone we don't know squat about.

YHWH = the creator of all, made woman to be the near opposite of man..

So, why should it look good for a woman to do this?

It's never going to be "OK".



YHWH is Elohim and Yahoshua is King.

TD3 said:

I agree with your statements. However, none of this applies to Erykah Badu. Like Vendetta, I see this thread as an underhanded way to typecast her as some whore who is destroying the concept of family and fucking up her kids...

In general, physical good looks are a widely accepted indicator of good DNA.
Which isn't a matter of opinion, its a hardwired thing.

bsk3601 said:

Of course you do what "you have to do" when raising kids. Doing what you have to do doesn't mean that you're doing it RIGHT. Don't confuse the two. You are still deluded however. Apparently, you haven't seen enough situations where things were far from successful, unlike grandma (of course). Sadly, love isn't always enough. Every time I had to hear a gunshot in the hood while growing up, every time I had to see a woman being disrespected by some punk ass fool, every time I had to see a young girl with two kids before turning 18 - they all had one thing in common - THEIR MOMMAS LOVED THEM. Love means nothing without intellect. And yes, the men are just as bad, if not worse. There's more than enough blame to go around here. I return to my early point: don't make it harder on yourself, especially in this day and age. We may not pay for the kids being raised, but if they're not raised right then we will all definitely pay later. Don't make it harder to raise them right.

MsMisha319 said:

You have ANY idea what she makes on the road, PER show? Yeah, I used to work at William Morris in the music dept, where she is repped - trust, she is RICH. Those kids will be just fine, financially.

MsMisha319 said:

that's so insulting too - she sold SOME records 13 years ago???

Last I checked - 1997 was 12 years ago (it's 2009), and she released TWO multi platinum records that year - 2000 a platinum record - 2003 and 2008 both gold records - countless top 40 R&B hits, many of which were top 5 or even number 1 (ie Bag Lady) -- that's not even counting her endorsement deal with Tom Ford's fragrance, merchandise (anyone seen the Badu rolling papers?!), her movies...please you act like she Macy Gray.

Don't even bother. People will say shit to boost themselves up everytime.

BlaqueKnight said:

People are so ignorant. This is 200 motherfucking 9! There are same sex couples who are adopting; same sex couples conceiving through artificial means; foster families; celebrities are adopting kids from all over the world; there are single mother homes where the kids are JUST FINE. THERE ARE. The whole notion of a nuclear, 1950s 'family' where the man goes out and sells insurance and the woman stays at home ironing and tending to her kids is OVER. DONE. KAPUT. FIN. IRRELEVANT.

Regardless of if people's kids are being raised IN THE SAME HOME as their fathers and mothers - long as both a POSITIVE mother figure and POSITIVE father figure (or father and father and mother and mother) are present, providing, tending to their health and happiness...who the fuck cares about if there is a legal piece of paper saying mommy and daddy are 'married.' Eff that. I say none of this as a Badu fan. As a human being alive in 2009, I don't think the model of mommy-daddy-doggy-2-kids-white-picket-fence applies to ANYONE, many of my good friends with 'non traditional' families included. Who's to say that kids whose parents are unwed 'don't see' BOTH their parents. Really?

DirtyChris said:

EXACTLY! If this were a WHITE man...I don't think anyone would say anything.

badujunkie said:

Nah, I'd still have shit to say.

audience1 said:

Again, we'll just have to agree to disagree. In my opinion, "doing it right" means legally doing what you have to do to make sure your kids are taken care of. And yes I see the situation daily because I teach kids for a living. There are single mothers in my district with sometimes 3 and 4 different fathers. In spite of the absence or overexposure of male presences in the homes some of those mothers handle their business in a respectable manner.... some of them don't. I can't hate on the mothers who have multiple children, work crazy hours and still find ways to hot dinners on the table for them and read to them every night. I can hate on the mothers who have multiple children, don't work, yet don't have time to make sure their children complete simple homework assignments because they were too busy clubbing or doing God knows what. My point is that not all women who have multiple fathers should typecast into these demoralizing beings who are destroying the concept of family. The only way a child can be fucked up is if the mother, or father for that matter doesn't have their children's priorities in order.
