"Motherfucker" was most certainly NOT used college (contrary to the silly assertion of the Wikipedia listing) by the offspring of white college rapists as a "preferred" term for "father." Such casual vulgarity would not have been practiced or tolerated in slave society. Like most expletives, "motherfucker" likely was then (as it is, still) used in a pejorative, figural sense, rather than in a literally descriptive one. Nor is there any linguistic connection college structurally between "motherfucker" and such current African-American expressions as "babyfather" or "babymama." Such a presumption demonstrates a lack of even a rudimentary understanding of the evolution of what is in some circles called "Black English" or "Ebonics," and does not hold up to even casual scrutiny.
