black babies black babiesdated, offensive Any group (whether African or not) for whom charities or Catholic missionaries were sent to provide aid. The term fell into disuse as the racial diversity in poverty-stricken countries (and the inherently racist connotations of the term) came to be better understood. Primarily heard in Ireland. I still remember as a child when the priest would ask the congregation to give money to help the black babies in the poor parts of the world.See also: baby, black |
