    co-spectives_imageThe fact that President Obama chose to identify himself as Black instead of Cablanasian, B-Rock or Michelle’s Babby Daddy mattered to African-American voters across this country.  Of course, he brought much more than a racial identity that many of us could identify with, but we contend that this label endeared him to us and influenced just how much Black folks in this country would embrace him.  And, in return, his rise and ultimate victory buoyed many of us to a new place of faithfulness, optimism and accountability.  The label he chose mattered.  And, when Fox News referred to the now First Lady as “Barack Obama’s Baby Mama,” outcries from the Black community suggested that that mattered, too.

    We want to know what you think:  

    Does what we call ourselves–baby mama, baby daddy, co-parent, single mother, bonus dad–really matter?  Does it influence how we are perceived?  Does that even matter?  And, more important, does it influence how we perceive ourselves?

    And, for a little inspiration, check out this oldie but goodie:
