Baby Daddy
 

Customer ire has pushed Target to remove its ' Baby Daddy' greeting cards from stores ahead of Father's Day.
Frustration with the cards first started approximately 2 weeks ago when Facebook user Takeisha Saunders posted a photo of the card.
She said: 'You CANNOT be serious Target!!!! Really!!!?!!!!? This was the only Father’s Day card that featured a black couple!!!!!!'

People are too uptight these days. Everything offends everyone. I'm surprised someone isn't offended that the department store is called, "Target". lol

Re: Baby Daddy
 

Well I am NOW! Lol

I saw the tweet yesterday and some others about it. Truth hurts, I guess. It's a fact that blacks have an absent father issue. Instead of them getting mad about a greeting card, they should get mad over black men being irresponsible and not taking care of his family.

:thumbsup

Or men of any race being so irresponsible.

Re: Baby Daddy
 

ROFLOL! A lot of people refer to their child’s father as baby daddy. Especially in that community. Hilarious.

Re: Baby Daddy
 

I hear that term all the time at my job. It's sad when a client comes in with kids from multiple fathers, none of which are taking responsibility for their actions.

Re: Baby Daddy
 

people think they need the welfare check I guess.

Re: Baby Daddy
 

Are you serious?

Re: Baby Daddy
 

yes, I think some choose not to marry and live together so they can collect welfare benefits.

Re: Baby Daddy
 

What does that have to do with ndavid’s post?

Re: Baby Daddy
 

men are not taking responsibility for their actions and the govt is encouraging it by making it more profitable to not be married.

Re: Baby Daddy
 

I've heard this mentioned, but I don't see how it's more profitable to not be married. I guess I don't know all the ins and outs of welfare and all the programs available.

TANF or cash assistance here only lasts a short time. And IIRC, you have to be willing to take classes for employment and look for employment; they don't just give you cash to sit around the house.

Also, if you have children with no father in the home, they will refer you to child support so the bio-father can begin paying support instead of them receiving cash assistance.

I don't consider food stamps very "profitable" since it's a basic necessity.

Does anyone know how it's more profitable to be a single mom than have a nuclear family?

Re: Baby Daddy
 

you can live with a partner and still collect benefits that you would not collect if you were married, or so I have been told.

Re: Baby Daddy
 

No.
