Why are there more baby mamas than wives?

I recently heard somewhere that 80 percent of African American mothers give birth out of wedlock. This isn't the case for Africans, the Chinese or Hispanics... what is going on in our community? Vote now or add your comments.

I just watched a rerun of this episode and I'm SHOCKED more people haven't commented on the topic. One of the arguments on the show was "Whose responsiblity is it?" Many of the women argued that it's the man's "fault" a lot of women are stuck in the "baby mamma" category. THAT IS BULL!!! Women have control over whether or not they get pregnant!! Ladies, we have to get back to the mentality of our bodies being our temples!! NO MAN can MAKE you decide not to take birth control. IT'S FREE AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD!!! So if you don't want to be someone's "baby mamma"....HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS!
