Shawty Lo and the Baby Mama Show: A Single Mother Speaks Out Against Critics
This letter from a BMWK reader who asked to remain anonymous, is in response to an article that originally ran yesterday titled: Reality TV? New Show “All My Babies Mamas” is Our Own Doing. Please read it and let us know what you think in the comments section. Were we too harsh?
An Anonymous Letter
Hi. I’d like to keep my name anonymous because of the sensitive nature of one of your Facebook poststoday. You posted a video about a man and his baby mamas getting a show on Oxygen. I have to tell you. I’m one of those women.
No, I won’t appear on the show and never met, Shawty Lo, but I’m an African-American woman who fell in love with a man who had more kids than he could count and am now one of his baby mamas.

At first, I took your attack on the show very personally, but kept reading the comments of people and I definitely see the point. Yes, we as a culture need to do better by our children by putting them in two parent homes with long-loving relationships as their guide, but we all know that’s just not the world we live in. To enslave us, White people would often separate African-American families. I see a lot of people thinking this show does the same thing in 2013, but I also know something else to be true. There was a time no matter how right or wrong someone was we embraced each other and raised our children in a village. There were all kinds of reasons parents didn’t have nuclear families (masters raping slaves comes to mind, and the aforementioned separation when families were sold), but in the end we didn’t sit around and gossip or if we did we made sure that when that child or even his mother came around they had food, shelter, and the wise counsel of the elders on how to push on. I consider you to be that elder. You have counseled many on various shows, why not step in to counsel these people or at least give some insight as to how to go on versus looking back.
