(Single) Mother of the Year

I only hope that when the KOTCB blog is discovered by the NSA and I'm dragged before the high council (or whatever the Star Chamber is called) that I have a black mother to call as witness for my defense.

• They are treated with unconditional love and sympathy by judgmental people across the political spectrum. A black mother can do or say almost anything and TV people will not just nod in agreement - they'll jump out of their seat shouting their admiration and fervent agreement with whatever the woman espouses.
• They are forgiving people who can look past years of criminal activity and find the good in every soul, especially if it's their own son. As Toya Graham says about young Michael in the video above:

  "Is he the perfect boy? No he's NOT! But he's mine."

• They are absolutely immune to cross examination or skepticism or even the most modest standard of personal responsibility for the behavior of their loved ones. Single Mother of the Year - Toya, for example has six (6!!!) children and, though single motherhood is becoming the norm, she will NEVER be questioned about her irresponsibility and/or inability to keep a man in the house. 

I have no history of Toya Graham's parenting style and will NEVER get one from any news outlet because it would be just impolite (and maybe racist) to inquire, but based on empirical evidence and a gut feeling I'm betting this isn't the first time Michael has been beat upside the head and cursed at by his "loving mother" and after 16 years of this shit he probably wants to burn down Baltimore. Not to be all misogynistic about it or anything, but 16 year old boys don't listen to their mothers advise about anything. The lessons Michael needed to learn could ONLY be taught by a father and that instruction needed to happen long before he came of age.

Where, oh where, is the Father of the Year?
