Em’s assuming that ripping the condom will make her a MILF—MILF is an acronym for Mother I’d Like to Fuck and “pretty apparent” is also a play on “Prettier-Parent.”

The act of “stealthing” (taking a condom off mid sex) was widely condemned as rape after a study instigated debate on the subject in early 2017.

Eminem is referencing a line off “Cleanin' Out My Closet,” from The Eminem Show:

Where’s my snare?
I have no snare in my headphones
There you go, yeah, yo, yo

Em broke down the backstory behind that intro in a verified annotation on Genius:

Also, considering the line above, snare traps are used to capture bears.

Studies have shown that society favors white people, especially men. As a result, black people can feel apprehensive in situations where white people are in positions of power. For example, due to the number of unarmed black men shot in 2016/2017 by white police officers, some artists have begun live streaming when they get pulled over to ensure their safety.

The line “every time we see a devil’s face” is probably a reference to The Nation of Islam’s teaching that all white men are devils. Eminem and Louis Farrakhan, the leader of NOI, have discussed racial and political issues in the past.

The devaluation of black life instills systemic oppression and is not well understood by the majority of society–"black-on-black crime” is used to smear and disregard poor black communities.

Boots Riley penned a powerful op-ed on the black-on-black crime myth in 2016 for The Guardian:

Yet the myth of black-on-black crime has enormous staying power. It’s no surprise that this kind of argument is so common among the likes of conservative media, Donald Trump and the police, but false hysteria about black-on-black crime has also been absorbed by liberals and black community leaders.

We’ve been duped. When black neighborhoods are compared with white neighborhoods of similar income levels, you see similar rates of crime. The fallacy of comparing white neighborhoods with black neighborhoods is in lumping together together wealthy and upper-middle-class neighborhoods (categories that not many black folks are in) with middle- and low-income ones. But that’s not how the world works. Poor white people in Memphis aren’t kicking it with rich ones in Bel Air.

The change in tone from Em suggests these bars are spit through a condescending tone from a white male who thinks he’s superior.
