Quote of The Day: Adrianne Curry
Posted by Bossip Staff
ANTM winner and D-List ho Adrianne Curry recently wrote on her Myspace blog:
This is gonna be hard guys. I LOVE the comedians on BET. I also LOVE the fact that they play my favorite show of all time, In Living Color. However, I do not believe in seperating ANY RACE in America. WE ARE AMERICANS! How dare we have Black History Month! In my eyes, the Native Americans deserve it MUCH more, seeing how we destroyed their ENTIRE SOCIETY. There are hardly any of them left! They also have been proven to have the WORST living conditions on their reservations. I want AN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH. One where we learn about EVERY race, ALL OF OUR LEADERS, EVERYONE! I think by having a month dedicated to one race, and not one for any other, is RACIST. Every fund set up to only help people of one race is SICK and RACIST.
Yes, I get it. Black people were slaves here once. You know what? That does suck some major balls, however, it is time to move the fuck on. Do we hear the Jews crying that they were made slaves for thousands of years? Do we hear them whine that they should OWN the pyramids in Egypt because THEY broke their backs making them? Do we hear them bitch and moan about Hitler, etc? (my hubby is a Jew)Nope, we dont. It’s time for us to UNITE AS ONE. I do not think that singling out one race, giving one race opportunities to go to college (I know a TON of poor white.asian, indian, american indian, etc etc that could use that too!), giving one race the EXCUSE to blame things on others for being whatever nationality they are, is a good way at making sure we NEVER kill racism.
I am over this shit. WE ALL CAME FROM ONE BLACK WOMAN FROM AFRICA, THAT is our EVE! It has been proven by science, and I stand by it. If any other race had a chanel dedicated to just them, we would think it was racist. If any other race demanded a month be set aside for ONLY them, they would be considered racist. I am NOT living by this double standard any longer.
Think I am racist? I am not. I know what racism is. I dated a guy named “Justin” in Junior high. Nothing serious, but I really liked him. He was the blackest of black…BEAUTIFUL skin, kinda like Alex Wek’s. He was handsome, and athletic, etc. I was called a nigger lover. But you know what? I was called that by a whole 2 people out of a school with HUNDREDS of students. THAT is why I am NOT buying this racist shit anymore. Let us teach or children that there is NO DIFFERENCE! We are all human. I hope one day aliens land and try to kill us. Maybe THEN we would finally realize that WE are ONE.
So, I will no longer tune into BET. This is going to suck, but I do NOT like the idea of having a chanel for only 1 race. In the year 2007 in a country that is supposed to be the most advanced and equal. This is unexceptable! I will also no longer acknowledge Black History Month. Instead, I will see it the way that Morgan Freeman does (I have the quote at the bottom of my last blog on Obama/jesseJackson, and OJ). AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH! I will read/watch/and learn about ALL the people who made a difference in this country.
I am asking you ALL to join me. Black, White, Indian, Asian, Russian, Australian, etc etc…..lets be AMERICANS together! What happened to the African American community was AMERICAN HISTORY, not BLACK HISTORY. If you want to celebrate in a way that excludes others and singles one race out, count me the FUCK out! I am soooo proud to be an American. I am SO proud that I have friends of every race, and none of us see each other as anything but what we are..people. Lets change Black History Month to 2 months of AMERICAN HISTORY. We will still learn about all the black leaders and people who made a difference….just not with the racist name of “Black History Month”. It has to start somewhere. I am going to do my part in making sure we are all treated EQUAL in a country that CLAIMS we are. NO MORE SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR ANYONE WITH ANYTHING!
It will never happen. At least, that is what many of you will say…FINE! My number one priority here is being able to die and know that I stood up for what I believed in, and that I did not add to the SEPERATION OF AMERICANS!! I love my country, I love the people in it. I love our history, good and bad. We should LEARN from it,not dwell in it and not move forward. That’s why I am done with this shit. You are all my brothers and sisters…..even if I think you suck ; ) As Bono said, “One life, with each other..sisters…brothers!”
now, have fun burning me at the stake ; )
Models are known for a lot of things, doing coke, starving, throwing up food, but being smart is not one.

first.-
LOL. I don’t call women bitches. But this bitch is out of her mind.
Bitch Please
Damn, you beat me that quickly.
i stopped reading what she had to say after the first couple of lines.
NSU baby. FISHBOWL CLASSIC!
MARCUS & MIKE VICK IN ATTENDANCE.. lol..
dont know why.
Why is this news who cares what she thinks
Why is this news?Who cares what she thinks she is a nobody
That white bitch can kiss my black a$$
this bitch is crazy
first of all the jews were slaves for 40 yrs and yes the jews cry every day about holocaust
so bitch go somewhere with your useless arguments
I think there might be some kind of a good point in there but she’s to stupid to articulate it right. But you know what, this is America, so she can say what she thinks. If only she could think.
Oh and BTW - Who the hell is she?
that’s an interesting opinion. this post should get interesting. while i don’t agree with her entire opinion, i can respect it. i do think that there are some issues that she’s not being sensitive to and that she doesn’t understand because she hasn’t lived in this skin her entire life. and dating one black guy has shown her nothing close to what the black experience in America is like. it is always easier when you’re on the other side of the problem. she should have gone to jena or observed the way media would have rather covered britney’s shitty performance as opposed to megan williams’ ordeal. then maybe she could understand the fact that we are not one America. God speed to her and i hope she gets some enlightenment soon
I’m lost for words and I must say I read the whole thing although she made since to me a little but she messed me up when she said we should just get over it and if the jews whinned like bitches and I don’t know but she made herself look like the racist she really did. Prime good example some people should think before they speak!
Oh yeah and Tyra should watch who she makes America Next Top Model because this just don’t look good at all come on now and this blog will be a mess before the day is gone.
I’m LMBAO at the way she spelled unacceptable! “This is unexceptable!” Hahahaha! That’s classic! I guess I would be offended it she were intelligent. But her blog was just pure comedy to me. Not even worth addressing.
What happened to the African American community was AMERICAN HISTORY
————————————
that’s a really good point. but,she fails to realize that that is not a majority view, as much as i wish it were. if it weren’t for black history month, institutions would not recognize the many contributions of blacks that arent mlk, malcolm x or rosa parks. ok i’m for real done and going back to my homework
you see that is why she is on the D-list she should be an F-list. yes models are stupid, dumb is too nice of a word for some of them. i hate when a white man or woman has to bring up the fact that they either dated or slept with a black persom. so does that mean anything? maybe you just wanted what was between their legs. i am really pissed right now. i don’t even want to comment anymore. pitiful bitch
Well she kind off has a point on some subjects. But the jews not crying about Hitler >> Please !!!!!!!! I live in Europe and the jews are so not over that shit they have there national day an everything and there is NO day to celebrate the abolition of slavery so please check your facts. But whatever Im not gonna waste my time on this Z-list star.
Usually, I ignore ignorance but this chick is outta her mind. She is talking about how we should have an American History Month instead of Black History - but what she is failing to realize is that EVERY MONTH of ALL of my schooling UP UNTIL I attended an HBCU WAS in fact American History. How are we going to have AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH when we already have American History ALL YEAR? Yes, the history of blacks in America IS indeed part of American History and should be included in American History - but again, what she fails to realize is that IT IS NOT. As blacks in American History, slavery gets glazed over and the numerous accomplishments get conveniently LEFT OUT. The same goes for other historically marginalized people (including women). Oh, and her disclaimer about not being racist (you know, the fact that she is married to a “Jew” and dated a black boy as a 12 year old) is absolutely ridiculous. *SMH*
she is a dumbass.
I celebrate Black History Month all the time and always will.
I remember when Martin Luther King Day was not a holiday—my family and I always obeserved it in spite of!
As for this chick speaking on race———-she is just trying to get some ink.
do we really care what ?? has to say…i mean… she isn’t even relevent. who is she again???
This Adrienne Curry must have curry powder in her brain!
This has to be the dumbest rant ever!
Tell Ms. WhoreCURRY that if after slavery blacks were allowed to be regular citizens, maybe we could forget about slavery!
Ask her if her Jewish Boyfriend has forgotten about the HOLOCAUST?
The problem with this world is that people have little knowledge and seem to always want to be Katie Couric!
She is an UGLY washed up wanna be model. And she is trying to gain popularity by appealing to the racists. B!TCH is probably drugged out on heroin.
Do us a favor and go back to sucking D!CK for a living! Leave the thinking to capable minds!
If this this is america and we are all so equal and evolved past racism why are things like Jena 6 happenning!! Tell that bitch to go sit down somewhere she dosen’t have a clue what its like to be a black person in this country. I don’t buy that I have black friends crap either,I hate when e\white people say that! The point is racism is still very much alive and she can’t see it or begin to understand it cause she doesn’t live it!
the difference between blacks and jews is that jews have recovered from the holocaust and slavery but black people have not recovered. most jews are rich or they at least keep the money in their community and they also have J date.com because they want to marry other jews to keep their bloodlines pure but no one calls them racist. when black people have blackplanet.com or BET then they call us racist. black people are still poor still fighting each other with that willie lynch syndrome and its sad that some blacks actually agree with what she is saying because you have been fooled to believe racism is dead. just look at the recent jena 6 information and that the KKK has put up the names and addresses of 5 of the 6 students online so they hope they will continue to receive death threats or actually be harmed. racism is not dead and her ignorant comments make tyra look really bad for supporting her as ANTM.
Yea - ignorance is bliss but really, it should be a crime. Poor thing. Too bad her hubby the “Jew” doesn’t proof read her blogs before she posts them. Thank Goodness she’s a model and no one who is relevant to our society at large. LOL
This ignorant chick just confirms the fact that people see the world from their perspective and are not willing to step outside of themselves and see the world from others’ eyes. If she is lobbying for a Native american month then so be it. Right on. You don’t have to negate one thing in order to affirm another.
Although I can’t stand BET for what it is today, when it first came to fruition it filled a void and a much needed slot. Similar to the black blogs of today. Her stance is not only simple-minded but also warped. I don’t expect white trash to understand the need of positive representations of self. The white world doesn’t need a WET because that is all of television. They don’t need a white history month because European history is the default study of ALL Americans.
Again I don’t expect her to understand my culture or the need for me to see my culture respresented in media because she doesn’t have to go without seeing her history or someone with her face on television.
also dating a black person or a jewish person doesnt mean you arent racist. you can have kids who are biracial and still be racist you may just enjoy spending time with that one person or having sex with the person of that race it doesnt give you a pass to say anything you want about the other races. she called him “blacker than black” she actually thought that was a compliment to her ex from high school.
This is a flat out publicity stunt, so she can gain visibility. How dare her use the struggle of our people to further her ambitions.
@ Sweet Shi - Excellent points. Miss Curry might should also be advised that the ABC, NBC, CBS, TNT, Fox, TBS, A&E, etc., etc., etc. is WET (white entertainment television) so wtf? We got BET. Y’all got AAAALLLLLL them. Get a job.
the famous line
“i’m not racist. i have a black friend”
That bitch needs too do her research, first of all thier are scholarships set up for every race! Second, why didn’t this bitch talk about the African holocaust, when babies, pregnant women,and children were thrown over board off the slave ships. Yes, the Indians had their lands taken away from them, and too be quite honest, in both situations, as far as Africans and Indians go, who were the people who destroyed all these people, THE WHITE MAN!
wow this girl is just plain ignorant. crack is wack..
i agee with you tniaa. who wiped out the indians? white people. who made blacks in other parts in the world esp. latino america be ashamed of the fact that they’re black? white. can you believe this latino americans who i dont get along with call me racisit? they appear just as black as i am. but then they said they dont consider themselves black. do you know who’s responsible for that? whites. white people are celebrated everydanm day! on magazine covers, models, tv! this bitch has the ner ve to complain!
I say we BOYCOTT this filthy WHORE!!
She is an UGLY PIG that well look like the devil pissed on her in 2 years!
There is;
A War in Iraq..
Illegal Immigration
No healthcare coverage
Turmoil in the middle East.
Wars in Africa
All this Prostitute could come up with is that Black History month should banned?
Send this CUNT back with the Iranian President and let he see what whining is. This filthy Heroing addict slag should be servicing our Troops in Iraq!
How could anyone with any level of knowledge or UNDERSTANDING of HISTORY and FACTS even think this retard makes sense?
Tell that bitch to stick to what she does best; giving head to that Brady nigga!!!!
MOVE THE FUCK ON????
Excuse me Mrs. Peter Brady . . .people move forward and become successful, and keep their humility by remembering their beginnings!
If that makes you feel uneasy, then turn your head like most people do anyway.
Like many people are ignoring this big ass elephant in the room called JENA 6.
PLEASE . . .until things like this stop happining in the world, black folks will NEVER forget where we stand in this nation! I can’t even find the words for this one . ..I”m through
Her husband must be a racist. You heard her mention that “do we hear Jews bitch and moan”.. All the time bitch, because Jews never let the Pollacks and Germans forget the Holocaust!
And as for the Paramids, they were built by black hands.
excuse me adrienne curry bitch, you are one ugly big nose heroin looking doped out broad. black history is part of american history dumb bitch. who gives a fuck whether you went with a black boy, all that proves is that you got your black dick on like the rest of those white whores. trying to find out if the myth is true. go suck some more on itty bitty brady boys pipe and leave the blackness to the black people. BET has whites on there, so fuck off long nose. on antm you sounded like a drunk ass bitch, dont know how the hell you won, that show is fake all you did was act like a slut on here.kissing women and every fucking body whore
Wouldn’t it be funny if she and her dumbass Husband go to like fricking ALABAMA and they Lynch his ass in front of her.. Perhaps then this CockSucking Whore will get it!
Let’s pray she would NEVER be able to bring any more IGNORANTS into this world!
Summoning Lindsay Lohan’s BMW!!
I went to her blog to read the responses and some of those people are so hateful. How can we get rid of BHM when that’s the only time we learn about our past other than MLK? Why make an issue about BET when it’s been around for 25 yrs. and there are quite a few Spanish channels no one is arguing about? Adrienne had the nerve to say she check “Other” on forms but somehow I seriously doubt it.
What I think is interesting about the whole situation she presented to us is that the Smithsonian institute has museums dedicated to races that have been abused over time. The American Indians and the Jews. But there is not an African American history museum but we are not whining over that. Everyone has asked me every since I moved to DC have I visited either one and I stated as soon as the African American museum goes up thats when I will visit. Besides the Federal Government has set aside months for other minority groups such as I believe that May or June is Asian-Pacific Islander Heritage Month which is celebrated just not vocalized as much as African history month. There is also a Hispanic Heritage Month. I know because I sit on the committee of the ethnic observance table at my government job. Ms. Curry needs to get informed before speaking ignorance.
she’s talking crazy how can we just push to the side what happened to our ancestors and not observe the struggle that continues today she has to actually walk in our shoes to actually see why we observe black history month but until then i think she needs to think before she talks cause equality yackity smackity you can’t compare jews to black people what happened to us still impacts us today the jews are thriving and white so no comparison there ! but black peole do need to stop using that as an excuse cause we can thrive also but we continue to let opression hold us back when it doesn’t have to !
1. the holocaust wasn’t in america
2. there are plenty of opportunities for ppl of any race to get scholarships, they need to look and apply
3. black people are the largest group of people that are the targets of racism, chinese and spanish people werent too popular when they came over, but still…
3. who cares if she dated a black boy and married a jew, i’m glad she’s not racist, but unfortunately everyone doesnt think like her
4. bet is not “separation or races” it is a network catered to an audience, you got WE for women, how bout we not separate the sexes??, you got telemundo and Logo, dont separate the sexualities
5. we have black history month as well as spanish and probably some others that we dont hear about, to focus on the contributions of those people because we are not hearing about it in school all year round, like someone else said all throughtout school u learn american history, she must have skipped that class
6. being black is not an excuse to blame problems on everyone else, some ppl do, but that doesnt mean the entire race does
7. she needs to shut the fuck up or think about what shes says before she opens her mouth
8. black ppl have funds and things because nobody else is gonna do something for us so we have to create opportunities for ourselves, there are plenty of organizations and clubs of ppl not to be separate but to have a sense of camaraderie with ppl like yourself
9. just cuz we are in america doesnt mean we are all alike, if u are not native american at some point down the line someone migrated here so whats wrong with celebratin that culture?
10. who asked her?
and
11. i find blacker than black very offensive like that is supposed to make me feel good cuz he was dark skinned, i’m light skinned and just as black as anyone else so that was completely irrelevant to whatever point she thought she was making
12. i can kinda get what she was TRYING to say, but she didnt use good examples at all
13. if ppl want to get rid of racism why dont they get rid of all these polls showin how much better the white kids did on tests in school than everybody else, and the percentages of black ppl in jails and all that other mess, whats the purpose of that? obviously there are more white ppl because they include a multitude of backgrounds just cuz they all have the same skin, but black is just african american and maybe some island folk
yeah this is a wack publicity stunt and it won’t do you any good thats for sure bitch PLEASE!!
so i will no longer tune into bet?? well she might boycott cmt (country music station) to where white people only singing country music does she here anyone complaining about that? ooh my god that poor little thing move on
What Is This Hoe Smokin On????
This woman is obviously trying to maintain her fifteen minutes in the spolight. I am sure even she realizes it is now over.
What I find sad is when these people with no talent and no reason to matter find a forum and instead of educating themselves they choose to use race a means for advancing themselves.
I hope all of those who bloggs on this site are informed enough around the historical accuracies of race and class to know that we as a race have far greater issues to deal with than to address some wingnut who is dying for publicity.
What this teaches me is that there is a lot more racism in America than I had previously thought. I have been reading responses to her rant on other blogs and she has a lot of people from other cultural backgrounds identifying and agreeing with her statements. I think her statements are meant to be devisive and from what I have been reading that has been accomplished.
But we as a race must continue to maintain our relevance and not allow others to dictate to us about when and how to celebrate and teach our children about our history including all of our struggles that continues today and the greatness of our ancestors so we do not forget because history has a way of repeating itself. I was proud of our action on the Jena 6 issue we must continue to support the poor and disenfranchised amongst us.
Chin up
There is a month for all ethnic groups, in case the Bitch and all of her silly followers haven’t paid attention. The Native Americans were first to get a holiday in the state of New York in 1916. Blacks were next in the 1920s . . . There is a Pacific Islander Asian Month, a Women’s History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month . . . In fact, Daddy Bush signed off on one of those holidays in 1990.
And obviously, you all aren’t paying any attention to the Asian and Hispanic television stations!! While there is one BET, there are several Asian and Hispanic stations on my set!
WOW, she really pissed you hoes off
This blog has my head hurting. Im really confused. 4 a short while i was kind of understanding, because i believe the Native Americans were dealt a real shitty hand in life and no 1 really talks about them they dont have a history month or a day of celebration. I dont think she grasps the severity that we African-Americans have been through and are still struggling with. Racism is alive and still in full force( Jena 6). She sounded really contradicting. Like all Anglo-Saxons they are “not wrapped to tight”-if u know what i mean.
Im about to take an aspirin ‘cuz she is wacked out!!!
she’s a dumb bitch, she should jump off a cliff and choke on a dickkk. Black power, that white bitch can kiss my Black ass…. How racist does that get? Yeah, Idont give a fuck.
hi. nice blog . thanks.
Some arguments are’nt worth responding to, this is definately one. Other than the idea of eventual social unity, she was totally off base and entirely uninformed.
Oh yeah- and BET. BET is slap in the face to black people all everywhere. I aint watched that shit in over a year and a half (except visiting friends, family,ect…but I talk shit thoroughly). Last time I watched they we’re charging callers nationwide $1.00 per call for the chance to win a few hundred dollar…?!?! WTF? Shamelessly exploiting the misguided values of their audience.
If anybody need to feel the brunt of a BOYCOTT- its BET.
Can I get a witness?!?
Call em out when you see em..
OH MY….This bitch is crazy.
For the record, we need BET, Asia TV and Spanish TV because on REGULAR TV it is STILL 95% white actors.
Stupid, ignorant, bitch pleaaaase go BACK to the trailer park you came from.
This is the world we live in today, and we can not feed into other people’s ignorance. She has a right to state her opinions. Not like many ppl would listen to the slut anyways.
have you seen BET uncut?(is it still on?) or College hill? There’s nothing on BET appropriate for me or my children to watch- reinforcement of negative stereo types is not helping the cause- demand respect and you will eventually receive it. Don’t have a channel where ‘other folks’ can tune in and witness us in our full ignorant glory. Unless miss Debra Lee has some grand scheme to uplift Black people other than “booty-shake-ass-ass-booty-shake-shake”, fuck her sellout ass too.
IMO
Just another Hitler trying to start a movement. The child is ifnorant-her husband should put her in check I can tell history was not one of her subjects in school if she went to school.
ifnorent-ignorent
everyday is white american history.80 percent of everything you come cross express the greatness of white people
dummy ho if you got rid of bet where would fake ass white people learn to cool
I’m not even going to address everything she mentioned in her argument, because then I’m sure I’d probably write a book-length response.
Instead, I’ll simply challenge Adrienne to take a close look at the industry she chose to become a part of. All of the major fashion magazines scarcely put black women on their covers and when they do, it is 9 times out of 10 a black female celeb (the one exception is Naomi Campbell who can get a MAJOR cover here and there). Not even Alek Wek, one of the most popular models in the industry (regardless of color) can get major covers on a regular basis. And I’ve never seen Chanel Iman (the IT model of the moment who is half black/half Asian) on any of big covers.
Maybe if Adrienne looked close to home first, instead of looking at In Living Color on B.E.T all the time, she’d see that racism is sitting in her face. I dare her to dispute the fact that Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, or W magazine doesn’t book models based on color (for the covers and photo spreads).
I dare her to dispute the fact that the most popular fashion week designers showcasing their clothing all around NYC recently weren’t predominately booking models that weren’t black (with the exception of Heatherette). Even with racism in her face, she can’t understand why black people need things like Black History Month and B.E.T (though I personally don’t enjoy their programs at all)in order to make a statement that we matter too.
Network tv doesn’t have black shows and when there is a black show that premieres, it gets lumped together with all of the other black shows on the CW network (formerly UPN a.k.a the black people’s channel). We don’t get featured on CBS, NBC, FOX, and ABC. We’re lucky if there’s even one black person cast as a regular on any of the most successful shows. And you know it’s always at the most, 2 black characters and no more. So that’s why we have a B.E.T and a TV ONE. My only wish is that these two channels would have better programming for its viewers.
Adrienne can say what she wants, stand up for what she believes in, and think she has the solution to the problem that is racism, but at the end of the day she will never fully understand what it is to be a black person. Even when we want to just be a person, we’re always being reminded that we will never be equal because of the color of our skin.
hmm just got outta church, feelin good had a good soul food sunday dinner… bossip i dont wanna cuss nobody out today..so imma let yall handle this one…
*logs on to myspace to check this Z-Lister out
SHUTUP AND GO WORK A POLE WHORE!
Funny, when something is “all black” (even when it’s owned by whites…i.e., Viacom and BET), then *we* are racist. When the gov’t is PREDOMINANTLY white from the top down (save for a 2 or 3 well placed tokens); when the MAJORITY of corporations are PREDOMINANTLY white; when the MAJORITY of students at MOST universities are PREDOMINANTLY white; when the media is owned by PREDOMINANTLY white people (from Rupert Murdoch on down); whites have their St. Patty’s Day, Oktoberfest; Jews have Yom Kippur, Channukah, etc. AND they have gotten reparations for the Holocaust and are STILL receiving them!!!!!
But she wants to single out blacks. How many times did this itch brag about the fact that she was “italian” or came from an “italian” family? Ain’t nothing wrong with that, but what happened to forgetting your race and just being American? Oh…it only applies to blacks. We’re the only ones who are supposed to be ignorant about our heritage because people like Adrianne don’t want to think about all the f**ked up stuff that happens based on race. Whatever.
to tamara
iman is black african i think maybe you meant to say kimora
She needs to sit down somewhere and stop watching BET.
Last time I checked there is:
Native American Month in Nov.
Hispanic Heritage Month Sept 15-Oct 15
Asian Month
And those events do get honor, at least in the schools. Yes Black History Month is a part of American History. Sad thing is it’s the only time when you education people (ESPECIALLY BLACK FOLK) about what our people have done. Otherwise they wouldn’t care. Lets not start taking account of all the thing swe have given to this country like the tooth brush, traffic light and rock and roll.
I wonder what her opinion is about all the Hispanic networks (that do a WAY better job with programming than BET).
Tamara is right there is a 16yr old black model name Chanel Iman, she is from California, Iam not sure if she is half asian.
Remember, Adrianne won America’s Next Top Model in season 1, not America’s Next Top Brain Surgeon…lol. I wonder what “Ms.” Jay and Tyra have to say abou this.
She’s just verbalising what a lot of white people have been saying secretely for a really long time. America is inherently racist and not even time will change that.
The denial of racism amongst many whites is consistent.
But I agree with boycotting BET, just not for the reasons she mentioned. I think an improvement is needed.
I appreciate the thoughtful responses that Tamara and a few others posted. Out of the 60+ posts already here, many are filled with blind fury, and very few of them contribute to deep, honest dialogue about how to help enlighten friends, neighbors, co-workers, and others who haven’t lived through the experience of being black. For that matter, we could surely enlighten one another, because how each of us interprets black life, culture, and history is multi-faceted and hardly one-size-fits all. Let peace win out over hatred.
This bitch is crazy. I don’t have to enlighten her ass.
Ill have that dumb bitch know, I PAID my way through college!!!! And where are all these free hand outs I keep hearing about… Whites are the only ones who go through life free and withought much drama…..
I am at a loss for words. While I agree with some of the idea that she is trying to communicate. She sounds stupid.
Quite frankly, you can’t expect white folks to understand our perspective nor the everyday struggle that we experience as black people.
She should just shut up.
She is entitled to her opinion as I am intitled to mine and my opinion is she is a dumb ho, with no career even after black Tyra helped her trailer park ass out!!! See is America beautiful, freedom of expression and all!!!
If you saw the girl on ANTM and the has-been shows on vH1, you would not be surprised, shocked, appalled, disgusted or whatever. The girl has issues. Stress on girl because she’s 23 years old, did drugs, inferred that she’d been sexually abused, family is extra hick, and is an a abusive relationship with some old. has-been alcoholic whose only accomplishment in life is playing one of the kids on Brady Bunch. Every time she says something stupid or ignorant, I actually feel sorry for her because she is truly a product of her environment. The fact that she isn’t in a trailer somewhere drinking boxed wine with two kids hanging from her tits is a major accomplishment.
This chick is a nobody probably looking for some media attention. I took everything she said with a grain of salt, hell that’s how she feel f&*$#k her.
it’s funny that she didnt mention Latnio’s and asian having their own holidays… she is in fact racist because using BLACKS as an example was proof enough. not even a white man that dates only white women knows…. not to cross that line!
She wanted some attention after that whole “Jena 6″ issue. she was slick and wanted her name out there and we as goofies are slowly giving it to her..
WHITE PEOPLE BY FAR AR THE MOST INVALUABLE CREATION TO MAN. THEY STEAL FROM THE INDIANS, BLACKS AND EVERYONE ELSE AND PASS IT OFF AS THEIR HISTORY. WHITE PEOPLE WONDER WHY THEY HARE HATED!! IT’S HSIT LIKE THIS THAT THEY TALK MAKE ME HATE THEM MORE AND MORE. I WISH THEY ALL WOULD JUST DIE!!!
PEOPLE:
Please do not buy into her “we are americans” mantra. Clearly, this is a tactic to hide her blatant racism and outright ignorance.
Notice she mentioned the Native Americans and claimed that they are “more deserving”. She then moved on to promote the lie that Jews don’t complain about anything.
She is not living under a rock and is quite familiar with other stations that are catered to the Spanish speaking community or members of the Asian community, however her issue is with Blacks. I say this because she acknowledges the plight of the Native people while telling black people that slavery sucked big balls and to move the fuck on.
Apparently, like many American whites, she harbor a lot of racism and for the most part, is not even aware of it. She thinks that just because she screwed a black guy she is automatically exempt from being a racist - something she clearly is.
You most certainly don’t have to wear a white hood and burn down black churches to be racist, for those are simply behaviors. She carries a very racist mindset and subconciously tries to cover it by shouting ” We are all Americans” and ” I fucked a black man”.
nahnah I totally agree
I agree that there are other cultures that are being omitted from general teachings.
I also think that some of our “brethren” have a funky you owe me something attitude. It really shows on this blog.
The same folks that preach and teach our wrong doings and injustices are the same folks that will say “atleast he’s with a black girl” or use the “f” word to describe homosexuals.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too.
You can stand up for us without putting other people down.
Thanks Tyra!
Why do stupid people always get the spotlight?
So a white lady wants to get rid of black history month…. big surprise
She needs to slap herself.

WHITE PEOPLE BY FAR AR THE MOST INVALUABLE CREATION TO MAN. THEY STEAL FROM THE INDIANS, BLACKS AND EVERYONE ELSE AND PASS IT OFF AS THEIR HISTORY. WHITE PEOPLE WONDER WHY THEY HARE HATED!! IT’S HSIT LIKE THIS THAT THEY TALK MAKE ME HATE THEM MORE AND MORE. I WISH THEY ALL WOULD JUST DIE!!!
********************************
Hatred is ugly and energy-consuming regardless of who it’s coming from. Reciprocating hatred and prejudice helps no one
LOL I wasn’t gon being up her background and ralit show mad marriage.
When you attack folks personally it lessens your argument … But damn yall funny
Should I be surprised that we have white racist defenders on this site?
Hoe…Sit…your…Irrelavent Azz…Down!!!

I agree with the “F” word thing. Regardless if you “agree” or “disagree” with homosexuality, demeaning a person for who they are is wrong, and for those who ‘disagree’ with it for religious reasons, the bible (If you’re Christian) clearly denounces man judging man.
Regarding the black girl thing: please acknowledge the fact that there is a STRONG need for more black families in every way shape and form, and that many black men date non-black women not because of “love” but because of complexes that are a result of racism and oppression. And the same goes for man black women.
(Diana Ross is a prime example: even one of her WHITE ex-husbands admitted she hated being black.)
I say that even though I don’t like Obama, I’m happy that he’s with a dark skinned woman. I don’t find that racist AT ALL. I think it’s a beautiful thing because as a light-skinned man of biracial heritage, and not to mention economically advantaged, he had access to all the “beautiful white women”, but he instead fell and love and married a dark-skinned black woman.. And in this society, part of being truly successful is marrying a “beautiful white woman”.
The black experience is different from the white experience, so I don’t think a white person denouncing interracial marriage is always equivalent to a black person denouncing interracial marriage.
I agree that by nature we are all humans, but it is fact that we all have not been treated as such.
she is obviously an idiot. she is trying to sound intelligent but she is not black a jew or any ethnic groups she mentioned. she will NEVER understand the repurcussions of slavery
while what happened to the jews were unfortunate, they are still white. they will never understand what it is like to have darker skin
racism is still existing today eg Jena and it will never go away. if there is a station that is geared towards BLACK ENTERTAINMENT i dont see the problem in that- they still play j timberlake, robin thicke, eminem when he used to make music and others. the station is not only for black people
she needs to look over her notes and come again
Tyra!
This is a reflection of you! YOU MAKE PEOPLE FAMOUS, YOU MAKE THEM WINNERS and then they tell the world there should be NO BLACK HISTORY MONTH and that we should GET OVER SLAVERY AND STOP CRYING ABOUT IT! Tyra!!!!- tell that dumb bitch that an ancestory of slavery (YOU) made her. YOU MADE HER!
and now she’s gonna tell you and the rest of US to get over it!
DAMN, she’s one dumb ass woman.
I completely agree but just so you guys know Nationa American Indian Heritage Month is November, National Hispanic Heritage month is from Sept.15-Oct.15, and May is Asian Pacific American (APA) Heritage Month. So I feel where she is coming from on most things it’s just that Black history month is pushed more than any other. Also blacks are the ones pushing it. So asians, american indians, and hispanics start pushing so that people know that you have a month too.
@Patches O’Hoolahan
Get over it. Slavery is done. She was right we are the only ethnicity still crying about what happened. I’m not saying it wasn’t horrible. What I am saying is let go and let God. Learn from it and fight to improve your quality of life. Stop letting slavery be our excuse for why our black men don’t get married or why we don’t own anything or get a good education. LET’S DO BETTER.
I read this on another blog, I have no words for her. I went to a high school where I learned nothing but American History, and you know what African Americans were no where in it. I love black histroy month I love black history period.
@VABEACHALLDAY tell Mike Vick hello and I got his back!!!
Oh and there’s also a women’s history month. It’s March
SHE IS A HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT PEOPLE. AND NEVER REALLY A MODEL. I WOULDNT TAKE THIS WHITE TRASH LITERALLY.SHE IS SO IRRELEVANT. SHES FROM JOLIET,IL. BEING FROM CHICAGO I KNOW THE AREA AND JOLIET IS LIKE ONE BIG TRAILOR PARK TOILET
this bitch need to know that now one complain more than the Jews the only difference every time they complain they get a cheque Jews get more for the holocaust Japanese get money for what happen to them in WW2 black haven’t gotten anything not even an apology the Jews sue everyone who profit from their free labor during ww2 and got a cheque black cannot get even an apology.

I think you should let go of your simple way of thinking.
Nah nah
I usually hate people calling my name out (generally because a lot of folks on here are self made experts).
However, I can appreciate people that know how to articulate their opinion without name calling and attacking.
I try to stay as neutral as possible and when I am in joke mode … I will get creative with my way of communicate when I think someone is effeminate. But that “f” word stings my skin. To me it is the equivalent of the “n” word. It represents intolerance.
With regard to black love, I am definitely for it. I can appreciate it. I just don’t find interracial relationships offensive. You love who you love. What does bother me is when folks make statements and the ONLY thing they are focused on is whether someone is black or not. Whether they are black enough, even.
I think some of our people have the ability to say and do the most racist things. That’s not to say that they haven’t experienced something that makes them feel that way. I just wish that they understand that it goes both ways.
You can’t call someone out for saying something that you perceive as racist, and follow it up with “that white bitch” or that “white hoe”.
Yall have to excuse my typos and sentence structure. I’m out with my kids. LOL. Walking and typing.
@crest
Shut up. the only reason Jews are doing better is because you don’t see them shaking there ass half naked in music videos, selling drugs on corners, dropping out of high school, acting a damn fool on reality shows (Flavor of love and charm school)getting pregnant before they are old enough to drive, and as you said they keep their money in their community.. i.e. trying to help each other not pull each other down. I just don’t know about us. We are so quick to mention Jena 6. Tell me this why is it that 50,000+ people showed up in Jena to march on September 20th when 1) He’s been in jail since Dec. 2006 and 2)Mychal Bell could be released if those 50,000+ donated $1.80 each to make the $90,0000 bail.
I know a lot of people don’t see this girl as a celebrity, but the truth is people do listen to what she had to say. She influences people that admire her or her work with her ignorance. So don’t think that what she says doesn’t matter, it does.
Classic example of one who gained cultural enlightenment after smoking meth and started blogging!
Too bad she will no longer watch BET so that black people can make her laugh.
Her ignorance is astounding. Did she got to public school in America, where we learn very little about black history. I, like one of the people grew up observing MLK day, even before it was official.
I wish there was no need for a black history month, but Im glad we have it, because black people have contributed tremendously to this country and haven’t gotten much in return. This country was built, and harvested by black people and although the idea of one race is nice and how it should be, for now its not happening.
I wish she could be a black woman for a day, no, a year because that’s the only way she would learn.
she needs to do her research before she even think she knows about us blacks. for her information jews,indians, jappenese are getting checks to keep them happy ever month. thats why they aren’t complaing.
Yeah, its so Typical YT.
Reminds me of a Song: “(They) Smilin in your Face, but all the while they want to take your place……..”
the people who build the permnds in eygupt were black. she needs to do her research. u dont have to be white to be jewish.
@omg
the people who built the pyramids were egyptian not black. do your research
@ whatever

are you not the same person who suggested that everybody move on and “do better”? how can we possibly move on when people like yourself who carry such hate against a group of people still exist?
oh ok. i will need to, and then i will go to school tommrow and tell my teachers that think that also.
thanx
you can’t make everybody into black and white. there are middle easterners who have skin darker than mine. are they black too? This is what I’m talking about. What damn difference does it make. Black people need to get their shit together.
With all respect to Native Americans, they were treated badly, but BLACKS were and are still the ones the most vengence is thrown upon..
Natives were not good workers as Africans, so they weren’t the focus of the whiote racist system.
if we didn’t fight for the abolition of slavery, Native Americans wouldn’t have done it for us.
If we didn’t fight to vote, Native people wouldn’t have done it for us!
When you see DOG biting blacks in the streets, the BOYCOTTS in the South, us being hosed, it was Native people suffering through that, it was US!!
So why do we have to feel guilty for our accomplishments? When we were able to vote, ALL MINORITES were able to vote.
Affirmative Action isn’t just for Blacks and Natives, it is for ALL MINORITIES, including WHITE women.. So why do people insist on taking their rage out on black people? Maybe they are just closet RACIST!!
P.S. There is a Native American Fund, Hispanic, Korean, tons on Jewish funds, Funds for Left handed people, people with cancer, etc..
The Japanese got reparations, where are the paychecks of our ancestors? We didn’t own the land, but we made it what it is.. What about the monies stolen from men who slaved on the railroad?
IGNORANCE IS SLOWLY KILLING AMERICA!
@ what a slut
I don’t carry hate for anyone so don’t presume to know me other than what I type. Make your point.
@ Whatever
Prior to the invasions by several ethnic groups, the inhabitants of Egypt were black africans. Arabs, who currently populate Egypt, conquered in about 700 A.D
I do acknowledge the sad truth about the American Educatonal system, and I see this is partly not your fault, but as an adult, you’re free to take advantage of the resources that are readily available to you. Please educate yourself.
and another thing, blacks aren’t crying over slavery there is no point to cry, our formothers and for fathers paid the way so we dont have to cry, so we can sit in a classroom with other races or go to school with other races. and a nother thing i’m sick and tired of people singleing out black people with the ones with promblems. SHIT EVERY BODY NEEDS TO GET THERE SHIT TOGETHER. and by the way @whatever i’m light to, my great grandfather was chinese shit i’m not getting a check, my grandmother was in slavery, and i have proof am i getting a check, am i crying NO!!! i’m just trying to make it in life so i wont have to cry in life. fuck the racism i can care less.
@LA CHICA BEYOUNCITA KNOWLITA
I couldn’t even understand what you typed. Spell check. You talk about fighting for the abolition of slavery and the right to vote. Jails and prisons are filled with black men. Black voters are least represented on vote day so what the hell are you talking about?
i mean jappense* (typeing to fast)
