Ya know, I was watching this video this morning and started laughing aloud at yet another double standard shoved down my throat this Mother’s day.
Michelle Duggar, the evangelical white talking vagina, is getting more air time and compliments for her amazing ability to parent and all her accomplishments as a mother.
I would just like to point out, if this lady wasn’t white, the story would have had a totally different angle. The ahhs would become ewws. If a Mexican woman has, lets say for example, 8 children like my gramma Bustos, she gets treated like a pimple on the ass of society.
This wacko has been pregnant 11 years of her life and she’s getting a television show! White people cracker me up.
So, let me just clarify for everyone before you get knocked up…
-As Anthony stated previously in his post, pregnant teens are fine as long as you are white. If not, surely your evil spawn will return to rob us one day. (as Chris Rock would say)
-Having ridiculous amounts of children is totally fine as long as you are both white and a Christian. If not, you are a total burden to society and further justify the stereotypes that have been placed on your race by white people.
-Taking handouts and receiving assistance from various media and religious outlets is fine as long as, you guessed it, you’re white and a Christian. You deserve help and all the people that go to your church and live within your community are more than happy to help you! If you aren’t, you are a lazy bum who is working the system and should be deported back to Africa, Mexico, etc. before your children, who’s futures are obviously not worth investing in, grow up and begin to rape and pillage as you have.
So basically, fuck the Today Show and props to ALL the Mothers out there making it happen, usually alone, day in and day out all over this country.
Happy Mothers Day to my Mom, Valene Bustos-Mathews…
A woman who wouldn’t settle for the stereotypes. A beautiful, strong, educated woman that has given life and love as her true legacy on this planet. You are my hero and I’m so proud to be your daughter.
To all the Mommies out there, makin ends meet, thank you for all your hard work and your unconditional love.
-My Best Friend Leah Suval
-My Cousin Noel Maria
-All my Tia’s and my Grams
Please feel free to give a shot out the amazing woman in your life.

i’m going to comment again, i’m not arguing that single mothers of all kinds and races aren’t heroes, but because i don’t think it’s actually “OK for white teenagers to be pregnant.”
i think the issue with the message from movies like Juno or Knocked up is that teen pregnancy is a “quirky” problem for a white person to have, and what Anthony’s point was, were this a movie about non-white pregnant (young) girls, it wouldn’t be a comedy at all.
and i don’t know if it’s suddenly changed now, i know people aren’t “sent to the farm/nunnery” anymore, but when i was born it was definitely not OK to be a knocked up teenager, white or no, which is why part of my family is adopted, one sibling actually through the catholic church. (no, i’m not christian).
