Baton Rouge Rapper Lil Boosie Out Of Prison And His Babys Mamas May Already Have A Show.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Baton Rouge Rapper Lil Boosie’s release from prison has some celebrating as if he were Nelson Mandela reincarnated.  While it’s debatable that the celebration was warranted, one thing that is not debatable is that the mainstream media is always happy to highlight black dysfunctionality whenever possible.

So, in typical media tradition, Lil Boosie’s baby’s mamas are getting their own reality show, at least a pilot.  According to TMZ, Walnita, Tracey, Trivia, and Gerlissa have been working on the pilot while he was in prison.  These four women have had seven kids with the rapper (aka Torrence Hatch), all aged between 4 and 11.  He might have had more kids if prison hadn’t slowed him down. 

One of the mothers, Walnita, was arrested for trying to smuggle drugs into jail for Lil Boosie back in 2010.

The show doesn’t yet have a home, but producers are shopping it.  This isLil-Boosies-Baby-Mothers-2014 the second rapper/baby mama reality show to be pushed forward, since Oxygen tried to air “All My Baby’s Mamas” featuring the rapper Shawty Lo last year.

Financial Juneteenth lessons from this story:

1) One of the quickest keys to staying broke is poor family planning.  Men who have a lot of kids with a lot of women have a consistent drain on their resources, especially celebrities, who often create an unsustainable number of steep financial obligations that they typically cannot maintain once their spotlight has dimmed.  It’s hard to expect that Lil Boosie is going to become or remain financially secure in the future.  

2) The mothers and their children are also victims of broken family structures as well.  The stress of raising a child alone, along with the financial struggles that come with it, are among the root causes of chronic undiagnosed depression among black women and children.  Also, not having a father in the home leaves children unprotected, which is the source of a great deal of child abuse, much of it at the hands of men that are dating the mother of the child.   I have a friend who once led the Crimes against Children unit in a major police force, and he says that he sees cases like this every single day.

3) Media loves to highlight black broken families but doesn’t find much excitement or profitability in presenting images that are more stable (say, for example, the images presented on http://BlackAndMarriedwithKids.com).  These depictions sink into the collective subconscious of young black children, not only making these relationships appear to be acceptable, but even glorifying them to the point of being desirable.  In that way, mainstream media is largely responsible for maintaining the economic and psychological despair of the African American community.  In other words, ignorance is winning.

    It’s true the media only show AA in a different light than other races.
    This generation of young women of ALL races, think the whorer equates girlfriend
    They all wear the title, like it’s something to be proud of and flaunt in everyone face. SMDH
    The morals are too loose, the music is disgusting, the clothes are nothing, nothing is what it should be
    Everyone wants to be grown, but behave like children—- it’s too much for all races, but the AA community
    will always get the worst news printed and shown, than other races.
    The new is still bias n it’s getting worse, because running around acting like a fool n not taking responsibility for your actions, not someone else.
    IMO

    I find this to be a bit bias. There are also many reality shows presently airing, that clearly depict people of several different nationalities, behaving in an lewd and undesirable manner.

    @Realman2…ain’t that the truth.

    I don’t even watch these reality shows unless I’m visiting someone and they have it on. From what I do see, dysfunctional blacks get paid to show how crazy and ignorant they function on a daily basis.

    “…the mainstream media is always happy to highlight black dysfunctionality whenever possible.” Yes indeed….and we always seem to rise to the occasion. How embarrassing…

    Too many Negroes have NO SHAME!!!!

    Don’t fault the media. These “broken family” members are willing participates of these programs. They are not forced to project these ignorant, negative images. Ho lover Lil Boosie and his ho’s are right where they wanna be: in the spotlight. These types of blacks love highlighting their ignorance for the world to see.

    I hope Lil Boosie manages to use condoms next time so he does not get more ladies pregnant. Its a problem with the uneducated youth who feel that unprotected sex is the only way to show love for your partner. Schools and the parents of the ladies especially should promote the idea that unprotected sex leads to unwanted pregnancies and STDs. When these girls drop out of school its just a matter of time for them to fall in the vicious cycle of drugs, sex and violence.

    I hope these ladies exploit their reality show and turn it into a success like Kim Kardashian and her sisters. That would take care of the financial needs of their kids and they can move on from there.

    African Americans tend to blame everyone for their problems except themselves. In this case the girls made the decision to have unprotected sex with the guy knowing they were not married and now it looks like its the media’s fault? The media feeds on deviant behaviour and as long as African Americans provide these stories, they would be aired. In the past this would have been a movie based on a fictional character but these days it is so common that you do not need to get into all that expense. Just rent a house with a few cameras rolling and you have material to entertain the masses.

    A group of women who wear the title “hoe” as the medal of honor. And a a group of men who have no honor that gladly contribute to their hoe-ish ways.

    I told you having a black president wouldn’t change anything in our community. The man in the “white house” has never done anything for anyone in the field because those in the field have to decide to do something for themselves.
