re: #93 sagehen

I’ll repeat what I’ve said about that family in the past.

Honey Boo Boo’s mom has 4 children by four different fathers, 3 of whom have criminal records and 2 of which she married. Mama June herself has a criminal record. Honey Boo Boo has a niece, by way of her 17-year-old unmarried high school dropout of a sister, which makes Mama June a 35-year-old grandmother. The family has been on and off food stamps several times, and Mama June has been investigated by DCS as a possible unfit mother. She’s also grossly obese, which has led to Type II diabetes, treatment for which is paid for by Medicare,

What would the right wing say about a black family that fit that exact same description?

You know what they’d say.

On the other hand, they’re not exactly holding Honey Boo Boo’s family up as role models.

And I wouldn’t care for it when they said it, just as I don’t care for what seems like overexaggerated horror at these people from folks who aren’t right-wing.
