@alius,
It's a gardening term. Don't rake newly fertilised ground.

@alius,
I believe it is US (American) "gangsta" or "ebonic" (black slang) dialect.

We don't give a **** = We (emphatically) do not care

where = same as normal English

dem = those

hoes = whores = women (widely considered to be insulting - "whore" means "prostitute" in regular English. "Ho" is a term used in the deeply misogynistic (woman-hating) "gangsta" culture)

"Where someone/people [is/are] at" can mean where they are located, or what they are thinking or doing or planning or about to do...

Thus:

We don't care where those women (or girls) are.

Or

We don't care what those women (or girls) are doing.

We don't care what those women (or girls) think.

We don't care what those womens' (or girls') opinion is.

More context needed, really...

Sounds like it's from a rap song maybe?
