: MediaTakeOut.com reported to you yesterday that failed model and ANTM winner Adrianne Curry was blabbering on about how Black History Month was "racist." Now she's blabbering on again - this time trying to explain her previos comments.
Here's what she's saying now:
Yep, I gotta try to clarify a few things here. Firstly, I just want to apologize for how random my thoughts were in my last blog. I wrote what I did just minutes after a long heated discussion on the topic. I can hardly read the thing, it's so damn random! I think it is HORRIBLE that people misunderstood my message. Just because I wanted to stop separating races, doesn't mean I want to STOP TEACHING HISTORY! Or schools need to teach MORE of ALL of it anyway! I was asking that we not name things to separate ourselves. I never claimed we shouldn't learn our own history, or that of all the other countries on earth (which we as Americans are pretty bad at). I am very aware of all the amazing things hat black people have done for our country, and we should always be aware of it. However, separating our races sounds like racism to me. It just does. So go ahead, claim I am the one who is ignorant for wanting us all to be EQUAL! Can you believe that? How does that make a fucking lick of sense? Honor your heritage, I know I do. Just make sure that by doing so, you do not seperate [sic] yourself from the rest of us! Black History to me would be everything that happened in AFRICA. I lived there for almost 5 months. Visted [sic] Robin Island, and saw the cell they held Nelson Mandela in. I witnesses first hand people calling these taxi vans "Black Taxis" and these nice taxi's "white taxis". Just vile.THAT is African(black if you will) history. African AMERICAN history is OUR history! Yes, there was a time when racism ran rapid. It still does in some places. However, it is time for us to rise above it and BECOME ONE, instead of SOME. I wrote my last blog in such hurry and a fury because I felt what I was typing so deeply. I am appalled that anyone would claim I am just some stupid white bitch that doesn't know shit about anything. I did NOT grow up rich. I did NOT hang out with rich people. Watch the show "Roseanne" and you tell ME if that family seemed well off. That is just about where I came from. My family is blue collar all the way! Just because I worked hard to get where I am it means I don't know how hard it is to LIVE LIFE? I was addicted to drugs, raped, abused, beaten, etc. I DO NOT DWELL ON IT! I choose to rise above it! I have been beaten up for being "the white girl" a few times, so don't tell me I don't know how it feels to be discriminated against. My message about trying to rise above segregation, separation, and racism has been twisted. Some people are saying I am RACIST for wanting all races to embrace each other! You're a fucking dumbass if that is what you think! Again, let me make this clear, I DO NOT SUPPORT THE SEPERATION OF RACE IN THIS COUNTRY, ANY RACE. I DO NOT SUPPORT CHANELS OR FUNDS THAT SEPARATE RACE, HENCE ADDING TO RACISM! I never claimed to STOP teaching history that involves black people, I asked to STOP BEING RACIST BY SEPERATING GROUPS BY RACE! Truly educate yourselves on the true definition of segregation. I enjoy sharing my thoughts here. Some people like it, and some people don't. I come from an incredibly political family. (I am a Democrat). I enjoy a heated debate. I didn't mean to "single out" only the black months/funds/channels. It was more of an example of how NO RACE should attempt to separate itself in such a way that ADDS to the problem with racism. Stop singling people out, and maybe…just maybe, the future will be full of people that were NEVER raised thinking people are so different because of their skin. I wrote about what I did because I care. It makes me physically ill knowing that there are people that are still so closed minded out there that they hate someone because of their skin. My hope is that one day we will all wonder how anyone could have done that. I think that we need to teach MORE history in our schools. Of course, even more world history. I also think we should be more aware of what is happing in other countries. Of everywhere I have been on Earth, America shows the least news on what's happing outside our "world". This felt good. I feel like I have got my point across better this time. I need to learn to relax on my impulse and calm down before I share. ; ) My Boo always tells me that. Thanks for listening.Someone help this child. I don't think she's well...
I understand where she is coming from, and I agree with some of her points, but as someone pointed out earlier...There is no way of "forgetting" what happened to us. There is just no way, and it's not as easy to get over, as it is saying you will do so. I think that slavery will forever be embedded in blacks' memories...thas just my personal oppinion.
YEAH BUT A BLACK PERSON (TYRA) GAVE HER A BREAK AND THIS IS THE THANKS WET GET????? THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD GOT TOO REHAB, BUT I SAID NOO NO NO! LOL HEY GIVE ADRIANNE A BREAK!!!! SHE ONLY MAKES $21,000.00 FOR DOING THE I LOVE A BRADY SHOW AN WE ALL KNOW IN CALI $21 GRAND DONT GET YOU TO FAR + SHES UNDER THE INFLUENCE(YOU SHE KEEP THAT WHITEGIRL) hahaaa WOW CRACKHEADS GONE WHILE.
She has no room to say what should or should not be, and having black history month is not racist, and if we don't have a month to actually celebrate the greatness AFrican American people have accomplished, IT WILL NEVER BE KNOWN, so instead of trying to say you are not being ignorant, I will have to disagree to even assume everything IS EQUAL THESE DAYS make you the most ignorant person to walk this planet, and how about watching the news more often and then you will realize WHY BLACK HISTORY MONTH IS NEEDED.... granted you made sense but please stop being so naive..... and IM SO SICK OF OTHER RACES SAYING WHAT THE *** OUR RACE SHOULD DO!
Wait she was rly talking out of her ***! I stop at "I witnesses first hand people calling these taxi vans "Black Taxis" and these nice taxi's "white taxis". Just vile.THAT is African(black if you will) history. African AMERICAN history is OUR history!"
WTF..it she is basicly saying she is proud of her white ppl for being so racist, she thinks that history only belongs in africa,..or that she is jealous of us having our own month?!
Did that *** forget that *** have their own month, and latinos have their own month..and that Irish ppl have their own day?? I think she forgot..
I agree she's trying to cover her azz with this one, but still not making any sense. She is speaking about other races without fully understanding what we have gone through and what we are still going through. We do have Black History Month in February, we do take that time to recognize and celebrate our wonderful black heroes that helped make our world what it is today. We do that because the other 11 months of the year they are forgotten by most. We have special funds for us and other races because not everyone feels we are all equal... and that's just real. I'm sorry but this girl's views are idealistic and right now just not possible, but she is entitled to them, even though she sounds like a ignorant simpleton.
UNTIL SHE HAS WALKED THE STRUGGLE OUR BLACK ANCESTORS HAS WALKED AND GONE THROUGH ALL OF THE ISH' THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH JUST TO MAKE OUR LIVES EASIER TO LIVE IN THE WORLD THEN SHE *** SAY ISH'. IF SHE WASN'T THERE FROM THE BEGINNING SHE *** SAY ISH'. DID HER FATHER OR GRANDFATHER OR MOTHER OR GRANDMOTHER HAVE A FOR SALE SIGN HANGING AROUND THEY ***'*** NECKS???, DID ANY OF THEM EVER GET *** NEAR BEAT TO DEATH BECAUSE THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN? SEE I CAN GO ON FOREVER ASKING THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE I KNOW HER FAMILY DIDN'T GO THROUGH THE STRUGGLE MY AFRICAN ANCESTORS WENT THROUGH TO HELP SAVE MY LIFE... SO BEFORE SHE STARTS SAYING STUPID ISH' LIKE THAT SHE SHOULD READ THE HISTORY FIRST.
As for the White Entertainment Television and other similar comments... what do you think most of these channels are. cbs, nbc, abc, fox... programming on these channels are predominantly "white" casted shows and have been forever. We may get a show here and there, but why do you think we had the need for BET? Because we weren't being represented anywhere else. Don't get me wrong we are making progress but we still have a ways to go.
beba- the reason why there is a BET, because there was nothing for blacks to watch on t.v or even watch themselves! Also blacks have many reasons to have a black history month also latinos, whites have the rest of the months to celebrate their history,,cant we have our own month? We deserve it right!?!
and you didn't think you would get a response from saying what you said. go figure. Tyra Banks a black woman gave you your start when she could've easily given it to a black girl. the one thing i can say about ANTM is that when it comes to race it's fair but when it comes to plus sized it sucks. when are we going to get a plus sized model Tyra? Adreinne find something else to do to get some air play because this is tired
Love to read about real drama and scandal and still a glimpse of the rich and glamorous? well then order my book "Blind Temptations" the Seduction of ***, Lies & Betrayal today! Be one of the first to receive a copy of Chocolate Flava 2 with Zane featuring me! go to www.lesleyhal.com
For Those of You Empathizing with this Obviously *** Trashy Cracka, *** The *** Up!!! She Ain't *** and NO She Doesn't Have the Right to Her Opinion!!!! Blacks In America Actually Deserve an ENTIRE Year, So Anyone Trippin' Over the Fact That We Celebrate A Month Can Eat a ***!!!!! If You Saw This B*tch's Reality Show, You Know That She Is a COMPLETE IDIOT, Who is In a Hapless Marriage to a Washed-Up TV Star!! She is Miserable and We All Know That She is Looking for Some Company!!!!!!! Trashy ***!!!!!!!
EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION BUT SHE IS JUST SO IGNORNAT, FIRST OF ALL FOR HER TO SAY GET OVER SLAVERY IS STILL MIND BOGGLING TO ME,KEPPING IT REAL THIS IS A WHITE WORLD AND SHE'S *** BECAUSE WE HAVE A MONTH, OH PLEASE A BLACK PERSON GOTTA WORK TWICE AS HARD AS THE NEXT AND SHE JUST DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
I CAN'T STAND WHEN SOMEONE WHOS ISN'T BLACK THINKS THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE GO THRU, AND LIKE SOMEONE SAID BEFORE WE GET BET BECAUSE WE WANT A CHANNEL WHERE WE SEE OURSELVES ON TV AND WE WANT PROGRAMS WHERE WE CAN RELATE.MTV IS THIER (WET) MTV IS A PREDOMINITLY WHITE CHANNEL AND THEY CATER TO WHITE PEOPLE. MY GRANDMOTHER IS HISPANIC AND SHE LIKES TO WATCH THE SPANISH CHANNEL BECAUSE SHE LIKES TO SEE HER PEOPLE ON TV AND SHE CAN RELATE, WHERE ELSE CAN U SEE HISPANIC SHOWS. *** PEOPLE AS WELL THEY HAVE THEIR OWN CHANNEL LOGO, WHERE CAN THEY FIND PROGRAMS THAT THEIR INTERESTED IN AND CAN RELATE TO ? JEWISH PEOPLE GET HOLIDAYS, IRISH PEOPLE HAVE A DAY AND A PARADE, I DON'T THINK IT'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT EMBRACING AND BEING PROUD OF YOUR HERITAGE, IT'S NOT RACIST NOR IS IT SEGREGATING, IT'S CELEBRATING YOUR CULTURE.
AND IF WE DIDN'T HAVE BLACK HISTORY MONTH ALL THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OUR PEOPLE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS COUNTRY WOULD GO UN NOTICED, WE KNOW WHAT ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE DID IS IT SO BAD TO CELEBRATE WHAT OUR PEOPLE DID FOR ONE MONTH, THE *** MONTH AT THAT.
It saddens me to see people agree with what she is saying. YES, we should like in harmony but in reality we can not. "BeBa" how can you say if they had a white history month they would never hear the end of it. Do you realize that every month is white history and we get 1 messly month out of the year that we had to fight for and we get chastize for it. We I was growing up, I did not know "ANYTHING" about my black history. I didn't know about slavery because it was never talked about in school. So I will be damned if my kids grow up and no nothing about their history.
When they had American Band Stand where blacks where not allowed. We again had to fight for Soul train. MTV did not have any "BLACK" artist on their show that is how BET came along. People please do not be decieved. Racism is high and rapid in the year 2007.
Look at all the popular show on TV that do not have black people on it. Let's see...Seinfield, Friends, Will and Grace and I can go on and on. Black show is 10% to 90% white.
My conclusion is she is ignorant and like her but she definitely changed my mind from her. I support BLACK HISTORY MONTH and I will always support BET until it is not on the air anymore.
Educate yourselves people.
I think that if she was married to a black man, she would be singing a different tune. She would be screaming black history month is too *** and too cold. Our ancestors been through too much and for too long to not be acknowledge. Black History month should be celebrated in America. We didn't ask to come here. When slavery was abolished, blacks were given the chance to go back to Africa but, why should we. This was our land to by then. All of a sudden you can go now after tilling all the land and all the picking cotton. Making America the great country that it is now after being beaten, raped, hung and whatever else. Please, I don't think so. Whites were very selfish and alot of them still is. And, because we wouldn't leave, another bunch had to go through. Malcolm X, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King (to name a few). King did it with gentle love. Preaching, teaching, boycotting while getting beat, hosed down, threaten and eventually killed.
Black history month was very well deserved. It IS American History but, it will always be Black American History first.
I know while going to high school, my American History books did not mention much about Black History. There was only a few inserts and people mentioned. Of course, King was always mentioned because he was the most obvious but black history is far more than King. King was only one man but millions of blacks was going through, mentioned and unmentioned. He was sent here to help his people and many others. He was not a racist either, he wanted all races and colors to come together to. Unfortunately, I don't feel it will ever be here in this lifetime. Those books didn't mention who really invented the stop light or talk about who really discovered America and how America got it's name. Maybe now but, surely not then and I'm not old. If it wasn't for Black History Month and the schools was forced to make the students read up on it, then I would'nt know the little that I do. I don't feel as if I could possibly know it all. I most diffently agree with her that there should be an Indian History Month throughout America because just like most African Americans, I have Indian Ancestry to and I am intrigued by their history as well. So, all in all, I feel every race should have a time slot as well, so that their children and others could learn about their history in-depth. America is a big melting pot of different cultures. This chick likes to debate, then debate away. But, just because we're in America and it's the land of freedom of speech and opinion, it doesn't give you the right to get a greatly deserved benefaction taken away from a well deserved group of people just because your Jewish husband doesn't care about what happened to his ancestors. I don't gripe about the past events. It does keep me grounded though and maybe if you he cared about his family history more, then maybe he would've made a better decision than marrying her.
Well first off let's be clear Black History Week (initially) came into existence because of white racism and segregation. It was a tool used to teach Black Americans their true value and worth as a member of society and the world. Africa is the cradle of mankind. That information was not available in the American school system. Whites and Blacks were taught that Black people never did anything worthy. Ms. Black America came into existence because Ms. America would not have Black participants (White beauty was the standard) Black is beautiful came about when the Panther Party coined the phase. Regardless of what this very young and ignorant woman has said is even more proof of the need to stay on top of our history and place in American society and the world. IF SHE had any real understanding she would be out there schooling some white racist which I am sure she knows a few. Even if she doesn't agree with their thoughts. I have always been a strong believer in Black folks have to stand up and represent our ANCESTORS in the best light. I also believe if white folks want to see a change in this society they have to stand up and fight racism in their communities as we have to fight it in our communities. Racism is something my great grandparents, grandparents, parents, myself and my children experience. "Getting over" is a very simplistic and equally ignorant response to a problem that is embedded in American society. Did she forget that slavery prevented people from owning property, or even inheriting that property when the owner died. Did she forget that even if a slave built something, it wasn't their to keep? What do you pay the builders of Wall St.? Did she forget that 400 years of free labor put slave owners family on an economic level that the slave who actually did the work have not be able to match without being "super-negro" while the master's descendents just had to maintain staus quo. She mentioned her blue collar background. She came from a working family. So did the slaves but their was no union protecting their wages, or making sure they had sick days when they were too ill to work. History isn't this child's forte. Stick to putting those clothes on but take a page from Tyra's book (fatsuit)put on that make-up that makes you look like a Black woman and tackle America from that angle and then speak. Otherwise, you are the very reason race issues in America are as bad as they are, because people like her only serve to anger people unneccessarily and polarize folks instead of uniting the races before hate destroys us all.
beba Flag post
I completely agree with her. If there was "White History Month" or White Entertainment Television, we would never hear the end of it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Vote this for dumbest comment of the day...lol.
You, my friend, should think before you speak.
And on that note..f*ck the whitey's and black history month...
One slave master said, holidays serve to quell revolts, ease tension.
Black people have done more for this country then white folks, but our history gets relegated to a month. Any given school-age history textbook gives you a handful of historical black figures as "history", like all of our accomplishments can be attributed to a handful of folks, and all of our acheivements encapsulated within a month.
To the crackhead from ANTM, this sounds like a typical whitefolks rant, full of stupidity and ignorance, and void of any intellectual or historical relevance.
And on another note, f*ck B.E.T. and f*ck VIACOM.
Oh yes my brothers and sisters, be happy with a month, never mind that we are here 365, and our acheivements and accomplishments happen 365 days a year, be happy....
Shine those taps for massa...and dance and sing come February.
I read her comments yesterday, got more than a little bit *** and was ready to find her and do some body damage. Give her a 2 piece to the gut and one to the dome. But then I thought about it, she's not worth the energy. She's trash, always has been and always will be. Her opinion doesn't pay my *** bills, so f*ck that hoe!
I actually AGREE with her. She may not have backed up her assertions very well, but they were with good intentions. She's saying that in order for us to be unified in this country EVERYONE needs to do aways with separations. And I know many of you were angered by that because you feel that they only way we get recognized in this country is to create our own ways of recognition--in other words--to segregate ourselves. This isn't the same segregation as when the racist white people exiled us from society, its our own segregation because we are lifting up our skin color in a positive way...forgetting that we are all just human and bleed the same blood...either way segregation is wrong.
BLACK PEOPLE: I KNOW THAT RACISM STILL EXIST IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT WE DO TEND TO SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM OTHER CULTURES A LOT. WE DON'T NEED FEBRUARY AS BLACK HISTORY MONTH IF WE TEACH OUR HISTORY YEAR ROUND. INSTEAD WE CELEBRATE THAT ONE MONTH OF THE YEAR AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT HARRIET TUBMAN AND GW CARVER FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. THINK ABOUT IT. IT'S A DOUBLE STANDARD...DO YOU WANT TO BE EQUAL OR SEPARATE BUT EQUAL?
First off, lets not fight ignorance with ignorance. Adrianne, YOU ARE WRONG for so many reasons. For you to have a nerve to take such a profane tone when speaking on a topic such as this shows your ignorance right away. You obviously don't know too much about Black history if you seperate African history from African American history. Who are you to make this seperation when some "African Americans" consider themselves Africans. If you study human hisory or even watch the news occasionally you would discover that all men and women are somehow genetically linked to Africa...Yes. Thus, to study Black history is to study your own history. So, in a way, you are seperating Black and White just from making those comments about Black history month. Also, racism is very prevalent right here in America today. It is not only prevalent in other parts of the world. Racism is a reality that Black people are reminded of every day. We are still undergoing the process of slavery even though it was "abolished" in the 19th century. You seem to think that since you were not rich coming up, you have something in common with us. Well, this shows ignorance also. There are many black people who were raised with plenty of money who still have to endure the harsh realities of racism and ignorance. The reality is White people celebrate their history all year. In fact, in many ways it is embedded in Black culture. After eight months of talking about George Washington, Christopher Columbus, and Theodore Roosevelt, I don't think it is unfair to dedicate a month to Frederick Douglas, Martin Luther King and Malcom X. You are taking the stance of White supremists. Black on Black crime is another sign that perhaps instead of one month of Black history, an entire year is needed.I appreciate your honesty, but you show ignorance in the process. Some advice for you is analyze and study your topic before coming to such a quick and ignorant conclusion. If you need further clarification read some books or ask questions before speaking.
I need to retract one thing. All though I feel that every race should have their own history time slot, I do not feel that whites should. Not at all. Not in America. You do have it all year long anyways. American History is your time as well as ours.
I also feel that no white person should put their mouth on any other races history and privileges. They do not have the right. Her husband is a Jew and the Jews is the only other well known race that I can think of that suffered through slavery because of who they are and also because of their religion. You would never here me disrespecting their culture or holidays just because America also celebrate it. I wouldn't be like "Oh! America *** celebrate the Jewish New Year because they should celebrate it in Isreal." I look forward to a free day off with pay.
Some one mentioned IF there was a white history month or white entertainment television we would never hear the end of it….well that’s just it, white American’s don’t need to designate a “month” or a “channel” as everyday and most channels are about them. White American’s celebrate and acknowledge their history and achievements everyday while routinely glossing over the history and achievements of non-whites because of the atrocities that where committed during the formation of this nation and its culture. IF Adrianne and people like her want to “get over it,” they must begin with accepting the reality of “how” this nation came into existence. The “complete” history of America and it’s people should be taught, instead of ignored as an inconvenience Just like the Jewish organizations that won’t allow the world to forget the holocaust, and the acceptance of the German’s for their part in it, this is what white American’s need to emulate and embrace. A large percentage of white American’s and those that control this nation fear being labeled as the hypocrites that they are…..quick to point out human rights violations, dictators and racists in foreign countries, but equally as quick to NOT want to acknowledge nor accept their own violent ignorance that IS a significant part of American history. Getting angry at others for celebrating achievements that otherwise would have gone unacknowledged, and showing fear and anger towards those citizens whose ancestors here in America where victimized by a bigoted society is pathetic…..if anyone needs to “move on” and “get over it” it’s certainly NOT the percentage of American’s who have chosen to remember the past and work towards a better future.
i understand what she's saying and agree with some of her points.
for those of you who didn't learn about black history until you were in school, and even worse, in college, should blame your parents. and that is REAL. self-love, love for your culture and heritage begins in the home. do u think jewish children are only exposed to the holocaust in their schools? NO. do mexicans in america only teach their children english b/c this is the country where they reside? NO. they teach their children both languages. if your parents can/could read when you were a child, dr. suess should have been set aside while you learned about where you came from. had some of my peer's parents done the same, i wouldn't have had to fight so much as a youth, defending the fact that i knew my heritage despite how i look on the outside.
if that stupid beotch really wanted equality...she should've asked her has been of a husband how come there wasn't 1 ethnic regular cast member on that has been Brady show. If she really wanted to see "equality" then why the hell don't she use her "celebrity" status to talk to tv producer and directors about adding more color to all the shows where there are none on WET....oops (t-v, movi-e, documentar-y, etc).....Why not take her diarectic mouth to congress and protest about the inequality in hiring in various industries in the "equal" country called AmeriKKKa. Apparently she figures she'll start a firestorm in the area that is most safe to her stupid azz. Go figure.
@mzarrogance
I agree that learning starts from home. As for my home life, my parents taught me what they could. What they knew and lived through themselves. But, to depend on home alone is limiting your resources. Of course, you learn about your family history down to a certain point. Your parents cannot possibly know everything. Not even their own history, and for your parent to grow up without a parent, there's a big void.
When black history started to become popular was when my parents started to learn new things that they never knew. Especially, my mother. She'll come home and be like "Did you know this, or, Did you know that." She was so intrigued that it made me interested because she would tell me things I never knew nor did she. That's when the different books and movies started to come into play. It is very important to take time out to learn about your history. Culturally and personally.
see what CRACK+IGNORANCE+RACISM EQUALS?
i read the entirtey of her other post and she was SLIGHTLY RIGHT but REALLY,REALLY WRONG on ALOT of STUFF.
so according 2 her,B.E.T. is the reason 4 RACISM AND ONGOING RACISM. i guess B.E.T. made the EUROPEANS invade AFRICA,made HITLER KILL million of JEWS and causes KKK members 2 HANG,DRAG and BURN CROSSES on BLACK PEOPLES YARDS.
WOW WOW WOW WOW
this is an EXAMPLE of the NEW GENERATION of WHITE people i was talking about. THEY KNOW NOTHING OF THE HISTORY OF SLAVERY OR AMERICA.
the ONLY reason there is a B.E.T. is because we had NO ONE SHOWING BLACK SHOWS. the reason 5 BLACK MAGAZINES,is because the white mags didnt feature us AT ALL!!!!! the reason 4 THE UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND WAS because WHITES DID NOT ALLOW US IN THEIR SCHOOLS!!
and it seems like this chick doesnt know this. SAD :(
and it FUNNY how she keeps focused on BLACK HISTORY MONTH while their is also NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH,ASIAN HISTORY MONTH,HISPANIC HISTORY MONTH.
so that leaves WHITES WITH ONLY 8 WHOLE MONTHS 2 celebrate their history. awwwwwwww,poor,unfortunate white people.
waaaa,waaaa cry all you want,ADRIENNE YOU ARE STILL WHITE AND if you havent REALIZED,this is YOUR WORLD and you dont have *** 2 complain about.
AND THATS ALL IM GONNA SAY ABOUT THIS RACIST CRACKWH0RE. PEACE :)
This is one angry woman. She says she likes to debate, but calls anyone, who may have incorrectly labeled her a racist, as a "fu**ing dumba$$." She has the gall to say this after admitting that her previous blog was so random that she could hardly read it herself. And goes on to suggest folks need to learn the "true definition of segregation." Only after you learn the true meaning of debate and how to articulate a coherent thought, ma'am.
Only reason she's apolgizing now is because what she said went past that redneck circle she's from. She's trash, no matter how many contest she wins she's trash (trailer trash), probably came from an inbreed family full of rednecks and klansmen....she can keep her apology that for showing us who you are, and your still a loser!!!!
Honestly she said the same thing she said yesterday. My thing is racism is still alive (Jena 6) and if she think her little girlfight makes her understand the struggle...whateva. For real i did to look at the picture to remember who she was and this is the only way to get her last few minutes of fame. She did make a few good points, i do want my kids to look at everyone for who they r and not the color of their skin, growing up and to this day i have all different types of friend, i'm not judging anyone of what they family did 100yrs ago. R can never forget about slavery, but if every white person apologized for slavery, guess what its not gonna change it, it will always b apart of black history so teach ur kids about their culture and others also and let them determine what they wanna believe. The only way racism will stay alive if parents continue to teach them
If You Notice How Far Apart Her Eyes Are, She's Obviously the Product of INCESTUOUS/INTRA-FAMILY INBREEDING!! Her Father is Also Her Uncle!!! If You Did Further Research, I'm Sure You'd Find That She is of West Virginian Descent. Forgive Her For She Knows NOT What She Says!
@Standard.....YES!!!! RACISM LIVES!!!!!!!!
Whether or not she was upset and felt like venting, there are somethings that should not be posted on myspace. I understand it is a free country and she can say what she wants to say, but racial opinion and profiling should be kept to oneself. Whether she knows it or not, Hispanics have a month too! It is the month of September, so guess what I have two months to celebrate my heritage...I kick ***
Someone needs to do a DRIVE-BY on this chick!!!!
Maybe this could be the beginning of a very good relationship between black folk and those that cant resist spewing out ignorance. DONT SAY THAT ABOUT THE BLACKS, THEY WILL KILL YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN!!!
What else is left for a man to do when u face hatred/ignorance from all corners??? KILL THE [EXPLETIVE]!!!
PFFFT! Whatever!
She realized, "Oh ***...I'm in deep $hit now" when she made the previous statements, and her publicist told her she'd better tidy it up, and make it look good. Basically, pacify the black folk if need be...just don't ruin things. If she gets no support from blacks, neither will the people who back her. She's messing up the money for her people. LOL Too late. You've already stuffed your foot in your mouth, girly.
Girl, you need to *** up before all hell rain down on your azz.
I don't get your point of view. I am not white nor ever will be white so don't see things through their rose colored glasses. And it just infuriates me when they tell people to "Just get over it (slavery)". WTF!!!!!!! Do you tell a rape victim to just get over it. Do you tell Jews to just get over the Holocaust? Do you tell Yankees fans to just get over loosing? N[SPAM]O. But when it comes to dirt in your own f*cking back yard you just want us to get over it and forget what your ancestors done and what you should rightly feel guilty for. After all you are benefiting, richly, from the sweat and bloody feet of my ancestors.
PS. I want my muthaf*cking 40 acres and a mule!!!!!!!!!! But I'll settle for a condo in New York.
why did she target blacks as being the one seperating the race... SHE SHOULD HAVE SPOKE ABOUT WHITES SEPERATING races... and discriminating... whites have to start first.. because they are the one who perpetuate this cycle... so don't target blacks.. and think we are the one who chooses the seperate ourselves... 40 and 50 years ago blacks couldn't eat at resturants or use the same bathrooms
SHE IS JUST TRYING TO GET HER NAME BACK OUT THERE AGAIN, CAUSE HER SHOW IS HISTORY NOW!! but her point is pointless too., i mean white people always trying to tell, us what we ought to be thinking and doing., BLACK HISTORY MONTH IS SOMTHING we faught for in the senate., and won...this is a month dedicated to slaves, black pioneers, black people who built this country on our hands and knees, picking cotton, feeding white folks, and dieing by the hands of whites, and never getting any knowledgment of our struggle, this month is perfect for a race who been degraded by societie already, and never got our 4 acreas and a mule as promised, but instead we get a chance to reflect on juneteenth, and blackhistory month....ITS OUR TIME TO SHINE... ADRIANN IS SURELY NOT THE RIGHT PERSON TO SPEAK ON BLACK ISSUES, IN OUR MINDS SHE GOT TO WHERE SHE IS BY THE HANDS OF A BLACK WOMAN(TYRA) and they dont look at this fact thought, a black person strong in their knowledge will be fair and help all races of people...white people are different, they help their own then bring a few of us to the kitchen to work still.... black history month allows blacks to know the importance of black pride and unity...aint nothing racist about that, adriann grew up poor, she should understand struggle..
also I WILL NEVER FORGET SLAVERY.. slavery is apart of my history and my culture... and its the only place that i can trace my roots... I know I came from Africa... YES just about every black person is mixed with some european or native american... but I DON"T CARE ABOUT THAT.. i care that im from africa.. and know that my ancestors were slaves and that means a lot to me.. because it tells me.. I came from some strong and courages people... ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVED... I get so angry and disappointed how are black men.. who are our leaders think today.. and how they believe white and non-black is better... and how any of them could agree with this woman... im disspointed in them so much... We have the worst men out of any race... YOu don't see white, spanish nor asian men doing this to their race... they uplift their women and culture....
Adrienne, there will be comments about my support for your position. It is very easy to take the position of the majority and I applaud you for taking you position because I am hard-pressed to find anything I disagree with. I am a black man who is over 50 years old and there is merit in what you say. I only want to point out that no matter what position you take on anything, there will be critics and supporters. As a younger person, all of us lend more credence to being disapproved than supported. But every now and then, there is a person searching for truth and people like yourself help those people. People who are looking for excuses to remain where they are will do anything to avoid growing. But we can only grow through adversity like that experienced when we are challenged. Admittedly, people who want to grow are not usually found reading the blogs on mediatakeout.com but if there is just one who will be enlightened as a result of your comments, it is worth the abuse you have endured by speaking your mind. Remember, no matter what your positon on anything, verbalizing them is risky.
@ whatwhatwhat, You hit it on the nail , You are so right , White folks always what us to accept their ***. accordling to them we are too sensitive , You *** right I am sensitive those fools can't ever tell me i am too sensitive I might spit in their face after what they did to my people. All the murders , rape and abuse we had to go through cause their lazy *** didn't want to clean their own homes nor nurse their own babies . Thats how lazy they were .
@viewattitudes, "Admittedly, people who want to grow are not usually found reading the blogs on mediatakeout.com but if there is just one who will be enlightened as a result of your comments, it is worth the abuse you have endured by speaking your mind."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So what made you come to mediatakeout and post???
some things she says makes sense but i'm black and believe that integration ruined black ppl and black communities! all our money goes to asians or white ppl because we do not support black owned businesses. we support every community except our own. sure, stop racism and discrimination but along with others accepting us, we as black ppl forgot to accept and love ourselves and our own. white ppl are cool but until they see wut we see..until they stop thinking that living in the ghetto is cool they should keep wut goes on in our communities out of their heads cuz we will get no where with ppl on the outside looking in telling US wut WE should be doing!
and other races don't separate themselves why is that black people have to be the first to give up our culture and way of living Indians,Asians,jews and Italians and many more different races separate themselves are you hollering at them no we *** give up our culture when other minority groups aren't.
BEBA, I repeat myself from the other thread, but EVERY MONTH IS ALREADY WHITE HISTORY MONTH. naming a month White History Month would be unnecessary because there is no *** of white history being taught. The purpose of Black History Month is to make up for the *** of black history being taught. And every channel is already W.E.T. so it would be unnecessary to start a "white" channel. If blacks were equally represented in history and on television, THEN it would be unnecessary and racist to have a B.E.T., but until then, having these things is more a RESPONSE to racism than a FORM of racism.
OMG!!! To the people who agreed with this dumb *** about "Seperating races" and "Haveing a White History Month". SMH.. First of all .. *** near every month is "White History Month" when we were in school its all we were taught .. and any BLACK HISTORY was during "BLACK HISTORY MONTH" or taught as an after thought. And as far as her talking about the Jews not harping on the Holocaust ...as she stated before someone in her camp warned her she *** be typeing drunk .. When have Jews stopped talking about the Holocaust?? Dont they have so many things that teach about the Holocaust ? Museums .. Plays.. movies.. wtf ever?? Most of it funded by groups who are trying to make retribution useing money ..and items seized from "contributors of the Holocaust" Everyday you hear about some old *** man they have found in other countries .. and chargeing them with some kind of participation in the Holocaust ??? Why should we forget about Slavery?? Remembering keeps it from happening again (JENA 6). And how can we forget if we are reminded of it everyday, by your people Adriene So maybe you should start your rant and raves with them first ?? Does our Black History Month make you feel bad? Does it remind you of what was done?? Maybe you are the one who needs to get over it.
Why would anyone get up in arms over this nonentity. On her blog she doesn't allow people who are not on her friends list to comment. She removed people because they didn't agree with her.She allowed racist people to talk *** and she did not address them, but if some if even tried to adress her on the subject, Adrienne and her "robots" attack you. The majority of people saying I get it, I agree are whites, but they don't say what they get. Like they also don't mention what to do about the racism minorities face. This girl is full of ***. Her husband said it best, she is childish and she doesn't think!
I am sick of America's Next Bottom Model. My mother always told me that the first thing that comes out of a person's mouth is exactly how they feel. Don't try to say one thing, and then say that's not really what i wanted to say. You sound stupid. First of all you need to go back to school, and get an education, Because their are many history months besides Black history like Hispanic Heritage Month etc. Dont say that blacks are the only ones who have a month. And another thing dummy you're talking about BET, but what about CMT Country Music Television some could say the same thing about that. So again dummy know what your talking about before you make a stupid comment on something you no very little about, and be able to back your SH!! up.
Yeah, Yeah, she made some good points so what. You can make a good point on almost any debate. DO YOUR RESEARCH WHITE PEOPLE & BLACK FOLK. BET was the first of its kind, before BET black folks didn't have the same stage as white folks. It was needed to give our black celebs the spotlight they were not getting before BET. All these other stations are owned by white people except BET and now a few others. And some of the programming at these other stations pretty much let it be known that there white stations. White people can be so ignorant when it comes to racial issues. And before we got black history month black historical figures were not being honored the same as white people. Believe me it was and is needed. And as for slavery, you can't compare what happened to the Jews our any other race because the facts are different. We were stolen from our country and brought here to work for the lazy for fathers of this great country. January 1, 1863 this is when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed freeing blacks. Do the math how long ago was that.Not to mention the African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968) refers to the reform movements in the United States aimed at abolishing racial discrimination of African Americans.....1968, 1968, 1968, 1968, 1968 that how long we have been free. I have no problem with white people, or setting them str8 when there wrong.........."Now how much is it gone cost to turn them whites only pies into, "*** Pie"...lol (LIFE)
just like a white person! we wouldn't have BET if blacks got the same amount of shows on the other channels I bet if you look at your TV's you'll see white faces!!! that's all I see so its refreshing to turn to BET and see my own people even though whites found their way on BET also. she talks about african well blacks were being lynched all across the United states not just africa. our kids need to know they *** grow up thinking the world is perfect and racist free its not! what's that saying about forgetting history? you'll be doom to repeat it we're getting stronger black people she's just a hater oprah, obama we're gonna run things now so adrienne deal with it, like it, don't like it, learn to love it! hater!
A. Curry you said it now OWN IT. Every word you wrote came from your thoughts out of your mind. First of all this world is made of two sides: left/right, up/down, front/back, black/white, etc. Your ignorance first shows when you believe that you, the great A. Curry can make not some but all agree with your side. I don't care what you think, my free will says I can live this life with my choices, my thoughts, my prejudices, my likes, my dislikes. BET, to me was created so black people would finally have something entertaining to watch. The white showings were vile, crude, immature (a nine year old with an obsession with his private parts must have been creating these things) and definitely not funny or entertaining. If you want belly splitting almost about to Plee on yourself laughter its an all black comedy or comedian that will do it for me. Why are you so obsessesed with everybody becoming one america? Are you feeling left out because blacks no longer seem interested in your culture? Guess what, we were never interested. I support separate but EQUAL. I want what you have but I don't want it with you. Say what you want missy but me and mine will never unite with you. If it has to be on the down low so be it. I was born black and will leave this world black. I thank God I am black for I am blessed.
To all the white people who agrees with her nonsense and also thinks the world would be better off white. You steal our slang, invented tanning salons when the sun didnt darken your skin enough, you took claim to just about every inventions that blacks came up with,if it wasn't for blacks the only sport you would have is hockey.As for Adrianne Curry when you have lived in black skin then you can spew such garbage.And for gods sakes people, white people that is no one says word and thats the bomb anymore, its played out mostley by you wanna be's. big up to MJ.
and another thing have you ever seen a black bachlor on your white networks? hell no.Did you forget that MTV never played black artist untill the whites had nothing decent to play. Remember this black radio can do without music from white artist but can you say the same for white radio not speaking on rock & roll or country of course but your wanna be pop/ hiphop/ R & B stations that is.
All of a sudden she didn't mean what she said. Words can not be taken back once their said. I hate to make us sound like the victim but we as black people have been treated ***. It wasn't but 40 to 50 years ago when we where marching down south. People still have the same mental thoughts of racism, bigotry is a taught trait. You learn it from somebody. Black history month isn't racist. So now we should call presidents day racist too. celebrating slave owners. We should call all these other BS holidays racist too half they time they benefited white america anyway.
She needs to wake up. I doubt we will ever all be ONE. People are to proud of who they are to throw it all out the window and hold hands and say we are americans, because america was built of lies, and free labor, raping, and killing of the natives.
I want her to tell me what being American is?
People kill me taking a trip to Africa and now becoming the authority on what African Americans need to do. She is comparing her what she went through to what happened to us? Leave it to a white chick. I am sorry about what happened to her but with the exception of the rape, it looks like her problems are a result of her own choices. We did not have a choice to go through what we went through. Many of us make the choices about what goes on today in our communities, but there are generational curses affecting us today as a result of what we went through and we will continue to go through these self-inflicted trials as a result of what happened to us. I am not making excuses but we would not continue to spiral downwards if we made ourselves more aware of the very things we should be "fusing" with American History. The powers that be who are in fact very vocal in curriculum design do not find it necessary to "fuse" so why not send an intelligent email to them? Why not the texbook companies? I don't get why this stuff seems to be geared towards us. If these comments are geared towards anyone, they should be geared towards white people. They are the individuals who do not view us as equal. A word of advice: Stop Talking!
I definitely agree with most people on here who had intelligent things to say.I wish you all would inform Miss Curry with all this info.However,I love BET and my Black culture and I just hate it when white people complain about us having our own institutions or things such as television programs or other media that caters to us.MTV is and was a White television program but they just don't label it that way because it would seem racist.Black history month is not racist it is informative and there is nothing wrong with being proud of who you are and celebrating your history.They always say":How come there is no WET television program?,Vanilla magazine?(LOL),White History month and the worst of all "How come we can't call Black people n*ggers but they can?" I just shake my head and say do you need it or need to?They own everything and we need things for ourselves.We are aware that we are human beings like everyone else but you have to admit that we all have our differences and have a right to be ourselves and not try to look for exceptance from the whites.I would hate to live in a country not knowing my own history,watching a whole bunch of white channels or everything white as if we aren't important or don't exist.I just feel comfortable learning more about my people and who I am culturally rather than trying to be white and spending my life looking for their approval or for them to except me.Adrianne just doesn't understand.She needs to know that racism and rejection is the reason why we try to separate from the rest.I think she should care more about getting some self-respect more than about Black history month because I saw that show of hers"I love Brady" and she waz ALWAYS naked and having *** on TV.She talked about being raped and abused and that is clearly why she degraded herself like that on TV.She is just a ***,I'm sorry.
@logan222 *** up logan we do not live off of you.Black people do work.If we didn't America would be a poor country because 30 million people aint contributing to the country.At least we have stuff to complain about.We have been treated like *** for 3 centuries right now and counting.And no,we won't get over it because the things we go through today never end,like the Jena6 case.Six Black students were wrongfully convicted.Hmmmm,that reminds me of slavery days when Black people used to be given harsh sentences for doing...well absolutley nothing wrong.You continue to torture our people we will continue to fight back!Separate but equal is what I stand for.
Logan LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLO LLOL!!!! I will make this brief. We still feel the affects of slavery today fool!! It isn't even that many black people here in the United States. Some of us may be getting public assistance but there are more white people on public assistance than black. So, the country that we built is providing for all races of people on public assistance. So when you go tomorrow to pick up your government cheese and those WIC vouchers and get that fresh food stamp refill allow me to say on behalf of my ancestors, your welcome!! Jason Kidd creeps me out when he kisses his son in the mouth. It looks a little too serious!! Logan thanks for the entertainment!!
@logan222
*** YOU, YOU *** RACIST *** ***. YOU ARE ANOTHER DUMB-*** *** THAT DON'T KNOW ***. NOBODY IS LIVING OFF YALL ***. AFRICAN-AMERICANS HELPED BUILT THIS *** COUNTRY. YOU ALL MADE AND STILL MAKE MONEY OF OFF US AND OUR CULTURE. SO WHO'S LIVING OFF OF WHOM? I AM NOT A RACIST, BUT I HATE RACISTS LIKE YOU AND THAT DUMB-*** MODEL ***!!! WE ARE STILL NOT BEING TREATED FAIRLY. LOOK AT JENA 6!!! NOW I WANT YOUR DUMB-*** TO TELL US TO GET OVER "IT". ARE YOU OVER SEPTEMBER 11TH?
DON'T TRY TO RECANT YOUR *** NOW. YOU SAID WHAT YOU FELT BUT DIDN'T TAKE IN TO CONSIDERATION IT COULD CREATE SUCH A BACKLASH, SO NOW JUST DEAL WITH ALL THE HATE MAIL AND DEROGATORY COMMENTS THAT ARE BEING SENT YOUR WAY. YOU DESERVE IT! AS FOR WANTING ALL THE RACES TO BE SEEN AS EQUAL AND NOT SEPARATE-TELL THAT TO YOUR TRAILER PARK, BACKWOODS BUDDIES. AND HOW DARE YOU SAY "WE" *** HAVE A MONTH DEDICATE TO US-HELL WE HAVE THE *** F-ING MONTH ON THE CALENDER AND 1 *** CHANNEL C'MON-WHAT OTHER STATIONS WILL PLAY MOVIES OR *** ABOUT US IF IT ISN'T FEBRUARY? WE CAN GO ON FOR DAYS ABOUT WHATS FAIR AND WHAT ISN'T-PUHLEEEEZE DON'T GET ME STARTED. OH-AND SHOULD I REMIND YOUR DUMB *SS A BLACK WOMAN IS THE ONE WHO PUT YOU ON!!!!!!
alrighty...she did get her point across better this time. however, i still think that she is uneducated about tha struggles of other races. not tryin 2 downplay any of her personal struggles, but i still think that she needs 2 do a lil more research.
if u ask me, race-specific scholarships an things like that are tha same as equal opportunity employment. unfortunately, without those, chances are we'll probably drift back into segregagtion, because THERE ARE SOME WHO DO NOT WANT US 2 COME UP! that's something that she's still not getting.
create a white history month or wateva, i dont care. these holidays are all about celebrating personal triumphs. as long as we dont use these holidays to celebrate another's tragedies, it's all good.

Well I'm glad a few people in here have some sense. You cannot jump down a person throat every time you don't agree with them. now maybe some of her points rubbed some people the wrong way, but you cant let everybody thats another race upset you with their thoughts, it almost makes you just as ignorant as them. now I know for a fact other races do not understand that there is still a struggle, and we still have to fight to stay on top. but they also are not trying to learn, so of course they will never know. so stooping down to their level and cursing them out wont change anything, cause in their head a lot of them think that we are ignorant anyway and while you cursing them out they still gon think that, so why give them the time or energy. instead of calling them this that and the third (which solves nothing) teach them, or show them some facts so they can have an idea why we feel so strongly about someone just telling us to "get over it". but hears a question, how many of us take the time to do research for our own knowledge? and why is February the only month even most blacks acknowledge our history? something to think about....
I AM ASHAMED TO BE A WHITE PERSON. ***, *** YOUR MOUTH AND STOP TYPING!!! WE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR YOUR SOCIAL VIEWS AND WE DO NOT WANT TO WATCH YOUR CORNY *** ON TV.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS?? I THINK YOU SHOULD GET HIT BY A BUS. ON SECOND THOUGHT, I HOPE YOU FALL OFF A CLIFF, A VERY HIGH CLIFF.
@logan222, *** up , your people was so lazy they couldn't even clean their houses , your stupid women used black women to nurse their white babies with our black breast. we cleaned your houses was forced to sleep with your nasty *** men , cook your meals , white women were the lazy ones .that Ironing board , air condition, elevator , traffic light , there are so many things we invented look it up , you have a nerve to say we are living off of white folks, This country was invaded by your criminals of europe, let your jails out sent them to america. read your history . How can you say we are living off of you. Remember my great great great grandmother nursed your great great grandmother. She cleaned your house cause you fools were lazy. read the history of euorpe it will show how you fools were living in ice while we were living in a warm climate growing our food , you couldn't grow anything in that 6 mile deep ice except potatoes. Thats why so many of your men are pedoifiles today because you had to sleep together in that cold climate. Where my people came from the sun shined everyday. thats why you invaded Africa . go somewhere and *** the fugg up You dirty ***
***, we HAVE to keep bringing up slavery! If you are so adamant about people teaching history, then your *** would know that slavery IS American history. Get over it?! How the hell can we if it's being taught in schools all the time. You want us to learn history, but not learn it and dwell on it. Go back to school and learn something about American history your own *** self! At LEAST 400 years of American history rested on the backs of African Americans! Get a clue and stop contradicting yourself. Stick to what you know, and thats not much....
I think she has a lot of strong points. Maybe it wasn't the right way to say her opinion but thats all it was. The problem i have is that everyone is calling her a ***,***,*** ect just because she made a opinion on something that our own black leaders such as oprah, obama, ect have been trying to tell us for years.
you are so dumb it bothers me Black History month is not African history to seperate things entirely. I agree that rascism needs to stop but guess what who do you think owns the BET station it is not a Black guy. And if that is your example it is a poor one. I think you should focus on your issues and I will focus issuses that actually affect me. Okay so take your trick behind back to go pose okay because you do not know much of anything and just for you trying describe what a person who is not of your color background to get over something displays you are a really dumb drunk b##ch. keep your apologizes and go help the jena six if want to do something about injustices.
eXACTLY she's mad that there is no Trailer Park residents day. She and alcoholic Ignorant hag she. See Tyra banks is an idoit for choosing someone who slurs their words as the winner. That wasnt an accent that was a drug addiction YOU IDIOT Tyra. Thats why America's next top model shouldve been cancelled after Cycle 3
NOW WE'RE BLACK??? YET ALOT OF BLACK AMERICANS CLAIM THEY ARE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN??? MAKE UP YOUR MINDS...
SHE IS SAYING WE SHOULD ALL BE ONE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE...HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN? WHEN BLACKS CAN'T EVEN GET ALONG WITH OTHER BLACKS??? YEAH, WE GET A MONTH FOR "HISTORY," BUT ALL YEAR 'ROUND ITS PURE DISHARMONY. WE ARE SO CATTY, VIOLENT, AND HATEFUL OF EACH OTHER...
IF JENNA 6 WAS 6 BLACKS BOYS AGAINST ONE BLACK BOY, AL *** AND JESSE JACKSON WOULDN'T SAY [EXPLETIVE]...CUZ KNOW ONE WOULD EVEN BRING IT UP.
WE SO BUSY KILLING EACH OTHER, YET IT CHAOS WHEN A WHITE PERSON DOES IT...WHY DO WE GET AWAY WITH KILLING EACH OTHER??? CUZ WE DON'T WANNA "SNITCH"???
LORD, WE'RE A MESS...THE LAST THING WE NEED TO DO IS COMPLAIN ABOUT SOME "WHITE GIRL,"WE NEED TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITIES BETTER...
Wow....some of the people on this board kill me. One has to wonder if all of the people backing Adrien up are her freinds, white people fronting like there black, or just really stupid. To all of the "WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ABOUT RACE?" people.. Why dont you ask the white people that ..how about you go on craigslist rants and rave and ask all of racist, small minded people there that.. I am sure they'd love to tell you why ..right after they finish calling you every racist name in the book and telling you how you are the *** of the earth.. oh and somethings about your mother you didnt know..but keep in mind.. these arent any backwood rednecks.. because lawd knows they wouldnt know how to turn on a computer much less type a msg. These are your co-workers and freinds logging on to tell you how they really feel.. but to much of a punk to tell you in your face..so they'd rather hide behind the computer. Oh and tell your white BFF to get over it... racism is alive and kicking .. you did your part to make her happy ..you asked that dumb question..better yet .. why dont you tell it to them in rants and rave on craigslist I am sure thats where they are :) LOL.. and all of the "WELL SHE MADE A GOOD POINT PEOPLE" so basically you are a bunch of whiney ..*** negros who sit on there *** all day .. wait for a hand out.. have never contributed anything to this country and all of the suffering and struggles your parents and grandparents have been through was because they didnt have a life. Yeah I see her point..stupid me . and boy ..oh boy .. the "I AM SO MUCH BETTER THEN THE PEPLE ON THIS BOARD BECAUSE I MARCHED FOR THE JENA 6"...Let me start by saying CONGRATS!!!! No really.. I am so happy for you .. The family of the JENA appreciate you ..and most of all the JENA 6 thank you *smiles* You help to raise a public awarness to a racist issue that that once again has threatned the freedom of our blackmen .. and youth.. well Black ppl as a whole. *pat on the back* Do you feel better now? It's obviously what you were looking for. So there you go.. you got public recogonition.. but see my mother always told me that when you do something for someone ..something you beleive in you humble yourself.. and you need not bask in the glow of recognition .. but the fact that you made a diffrence. You sweeties dont know what the people on this board have done to stop racial injustice.. or any injustice for all that matters. My bad.. maybe we all should start posting the bottom half of our resumes ..you know the part that says accomplishments..if you have done something to make a diffrence keep up the good work..and then get over yourself. It's not about you.

I think she has a lot of strong points. Maybe it wasn't the right way to say her opinion but thats all it was. The problem i have is that everyone is calling her a ***,***,*** ect just because she made a opinion on something that our own black leaders such as oprah, obama, ect have been trying to tell us for years.
been saying what black people should get rid of our cultures but jewish,asian and other races don't get rid of theres.
i swear the black people on here men or women that are agreeing with this woman has a white bf or gf and doest want to disagree with there white bf or gf cooning at its finest.
@Logan222 First and foremost, I don't know one black person including me that complains about slavery. In case you have forgotten, the Civil Rights Movement ended in 1968 which was barely 39 years ago. The only reason that future generations of blacks like myself can enjoy the normal civil liberties that this country prides itself on is because of that. Secondly, white people have NEVER given anything to black people. We have had to work for everything that we own. Let me remind you, blacks are not the only people on welfare. White people are not the only people that pay taxes. I pay taxes just like every other American. Therefore, you will need to explain to me how we live off of whites. Shasha--you took the words right out of my mouth! I applaud you! To the confused "Sambo Jeffersons"--Why are black people on here agreeing with anything that A. Curry is saying? She is talking complete garbage!!!!!! America has NEVER been an equal society. She is too foolish to even think that this country is even remotely close to becoming equal. All of the hate crimes that have come to light over the past couple of moths confirms this. She is speaking like a true racist! Black people,this is a time for us to unify. The Jena 6 situation shows us that when something goes wrong in our community the only people we have is us. White people aren't running down to Jena to help support those kids. It is us that's raising money and marching...just like generations before us during the civil rights movement. Here is food for thought: you never know when you could become a victim of racism--who are you going to call to help you? Please don't expect A. Curry or people like her to defend you or help you in anyway. If our ancestors would have waited on white people to "save" them we would still be sitting on the back of the bus, drinking out of seperate water fountains,walking in through the back door, etc.
I bet dan2000 is white. Go though what we go through. And then you chill! Yall know how white people get so mad and curse out the police and stuff when they get pulled over for something that they do not believe is relevant? I hope we all know that it is not illegal to curse out 5.0 right? These white boys was just going off like crazy on the police last week for them telling them they couldn't skate on these stairs. There are some police getting sued somewhere because they told these white boys to get out of their seat and when the white boys talked bad to them the police manhandled, and cuffed them and searched their car for drugs. Now the police are being sued and the white boys will probably win. If they were black, we know the story. Ok white people: Think about being black, having this kind of stuff happen to you all the time and not being able to do anything about it because you already know what will happen. What would you do? We are a reactionary people and anytime we can vent it happens. At least the computer can't beat our a$$ or throw us in jail. So, whether you think these comments are too harsh or whatever,in the words of our good friend Adrienne: "Get Over It".
Adrianne,
If you think you are helping - I must clue you in to the fact that you are contributing to the exhaustion that many African American feel living in this country. Can you personlly imagine from the time that you are born receiving subconscious messages ostricising you. (from Advertisements, news media, individual encounters, not being able to travel to certain locations in the country, laws, religion)???
Imagine one day that you get up and turn on the television and you are given subconscious cues that who you are is bad and the opposite of what you represent it good.
I think that many people are angry over your comment, not only because it was arrogant and callous but because in your initial "brooding & resentful" conversations on this topic (which led you to post in the first place), you had one major oversight which is impossible to calculate - YOU'RE NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN - How could you ever understand how we see the world? or how the world views us? You only know what you see in the news, from your small-town family members or other people who are far removed - the same sources from which misaligned information fermentates and ends up as a verbal explosion onto some arbitrary blog.
I happen to believe that the future is bright and that there will come the day when the only thing that matters is the content of one's character - However, you've shown your character content - whether you were aware or not.
I AGREE WITH SOME OF THE THINGS SHE HAS SAID.
I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE BLACK HISTORY MONTH EVERY YEAR AND WE STILL ARE NOT EDUCATED ABOUT OUR HISTORY AND OTHER PPL THAT HELPED US TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.
WHY ISN'T THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT SPOKEN OF THAT MONTH JOHN HANSON AND THE OTHER GREAT BLACK LEADERS THAT FOLLOWED HIM? ARE WE STILL AFRAIF TO STEP UP AND TELL THE TRUTH?
THIS IS SO SAD, SHE NEEDS A REALITY CHECK AND APPARENTLY THOSE WHO AGREE WITH HER ALSO NEEDS ONE. WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO CELEBRATE OUR CULTURE, IT'S JUST SO IGNORANT TO USE REFERENCE AS BACK TO AFRICA. WE KNOW OUR ROOTS ALREADY, WHAT YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THE AGONIZING YEARS OUR ANCESTORS HAD TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE OF YOUR PEOPLE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOWFULLY UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF OUR PEOPLE,THEN JUST *** THE *** UP. MAYBE YOU NEED TO RENT ALL SIX PARTS OF ROOT AND SIT DOWN AND DISCOVER OUR HISTORY,THEN COME BACK AND REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID, I'M POSITIVE YOU WILL THINK DIFFERENTLY.I TRULY HOPE YOU READ ALL THESE COMMENTS THAT EXPRESS WHAT WE GO THROUGH AS AND TAKE IT AS SOMEONE TRYING TO EDUCATE YOU,AND TO THOSE WHO AGREE, NEED TO WAKE UP,BECAUSE EVERYTHING SHE SAID WAS IGNORANT.
SLAVERY IS ONE THING THAT WILL NEVER EVER BE FORGOTTEN IN THIS COUNTRY,IN THIS LIFE TIME. SHE HAS THE ATTITUDE LIKE YES IT HAPPEN AND GET OVER IT. WE STILL HAVE A BIG RESIDUE OF SLAVERY. DO YOU KNOW HOW WE WERE TREATED!!!!!! WE WERE KILLED, HUNGED LIKE ANIMALS, WOMEN WERE RAPED, LITTLE GIRLS WERE RAPED, BOYS WERE FORCED TO SLEEP WITH THEIR MOTHERS, THERE GOES THE TERM MOTHERFUCK**. WE WERE SEPARATED FROM OUR FAMILIES. ALL OF THESE THINGS STILL TO THIS DAY HAS A HUGE EFFECT ON ALL BLACKS. NOT TO MENTION, SLAVE OWNERS TURNED BLACK PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER. THE LIGHTER SKIN BLACKS WERE TREATED DIFFERENTLY FROM THE DARKER BLACKS. AND YOU, SAID WE SHOULD FORGET WHAT HAPPENED?????????? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND???????? LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KATRINA VICTIMS. YOU DON'T THINK SLAVERY EFFECT US TODAY. THAT STATEMENT THAT YOU MADE SHOULD HAVE NEVER CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK! GET THE FACTS!!! AND FURTHER MORE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON SLAVERY!!!!
What part of racist do you not understand, BLACK HISTORY MONTH is racist, so is BET, so is everything else that only caters to blacks. If we had a WET, White history month, White college fund, you bet your *** that Jesse jackson and Al *** would be all over that. Why fight segregation if we are just gonna ignore the fact that BLACKS want to remain segregated. I am not racist, I love and hate everyone equally, but slavery was over in 1846 or so, and blacks are not the only people in history to be slaves. Read your history books and you will learn that every culture and times had slaves, kings and queens had slaves, the pirates made us slaves, they didnt care about the color. I live in a big city where we are one big boiling pot full of culture, why not be proud of what you are without only allowing certain colors or groups to enjoy this life of ours. I dare someone to post another logical comment, blacks and whites and blues and purples. Wake up People, its 2007!!
Give me a break....chicagofunk
#1 Not refering to any specific period of time - a day, a month hell - a year...that's beside the point! As many have pointed out, there is Asian month, Hispanic Heritage month, etc. There are also specific channels designated for different cultures and languages. This isn't about having some personal time.
#2 - The point is that an entire culture was challenged to forget the horrific crimes against them - with disregard to receiving the full recompense which have been made to others in similar situations. Would you ask a Jewish person to forget the holocaust? (maybe you have - there are some who have tried), would you ask the Native Americans to forget that their land has been occupied? (Naw, you just force them onto reservations and hope that they no longer have the will to do something about it.) How can you even look in the mirror - to even think about asking someone to forget, "get over", obscure their past is yet another psychological ploy. But then again, you knew that didn't you - OR do you not realize that remembering, commemorating progress and celebrating triumph are not synonymous being stuck? People remember - and people progress. Don't tell a whole culture to forget how history has and continues to shape them!!
#3 - "I dare someone to post another logical comment," - OK so now all of a sudden there is an attack on logic??? WOW that makes the entire comment credible.
Are you working for Adrianne???
black men and women own this ***... yea right if yall owned anything yall wouldnt be on here b-i-t-c-h-i-***-g !!!! you wouldnt know what to do if yall had to walk one day in the former life of a slave..so.you *** the f-u-c-*** up! do you seriously think black ppl were the only ppl that were slaves..get real
First of all everyone needs to leave this poor girl alone .I agree with her view.Its about time people let go of the past and leave it in the past.Black people here embrace slavery .They complain about teh *** word and yet they call each other that that .Wassup with that I am Black African and yes i have been called a racist by African Americans .Unless you were an actual slave on a freakin boat and was brought here against your will you need to get over it and move on.How has it helped African Americans to whine about racism everytime something happens to them.They commit crimes ..and when they are sent to jail cry about how The Man is sending black folks to jail.Dont freakin commit crimes if you dont want your *** in jail.They dont want to get an education and then cry racism when the don't get good jobs .Please leave the white people alone and move the F$#@ on .We were all oppressed or our ansestors were at one point or another but you dont hear any other race whining like the african americans do - its If it was a disease 99.9% of them would be dead by now whining about what the white man did years ago.
Unless you were on a freakin boat and was dragged out here and suffered you need to *** the F$#@ up get the F#$@ over your self and the blame game that African Americans seem determined to embede in their minds as well as their childrens minds.Young children are continuously brainwashed by ignorant African Americans who have nothing better to do but blame the white people for their mistakes .So for all yu Black Americans who still have the slave mentality get the F#$@ over it and do something with yourself .Peace
THAT *** SHE'S WACK BUMB BIT#H SHE'S A RACIST TRYNA CLEAR IT UP! THAT'S Y COLBY COLB 100.3 THE BEAT MADE HER THA DUMMY OF THA DAY ! SHE SHOULD HAVE *** HER *** MOUTH I DNT APPRECIATE WHAT SHE SAID IT WAS RUDE AND I WULD LIKE 2 C HER PICK COTTON FOR 8 HRS. IN 100 DEGREE WEATHER THEN HEAR HER RESULTS THEN SHE WOULD WANT TRAILER PARK TRSH MONTH RIGTH?
F U C *** OFF ADRIANNE, DON'T TRY TO CLEAR IT UP. YOU WENT ON AND ON IN A LONG *** PARAGRAPH TALKING NEGATIVE ABOUT BLACKS AND NOW YOUR TRYING TO CLEAN UP YOUR STUPID *** STATEMENT. I'M NOT FEELING YOU RIGHT NOW OR EVER. I NEVER LIKED YOU, NOT EVEN ON ANTM. THE OTHER FEMALE YOU WENT UP AGAINST SHOULD HAVE WON. YOUR UGLY ON THE OUTSIDE AND YOU SHOWED THE WORLD THAT YOUR UGLY ON THE INSIDE TOO. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE A COMMENT LIKE THIS PERIOD. HOW EVER YOU FELT ABOUT THE SITUATION, YOU SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT TO YOURSELF. BOTTOM LINE, YOUR A RACIST B I T C H.
Man... just look at who's calling who stupid. You Freaks sound pretty illiterate yourselves with all your street jive take. You call each other ***/ga's and think it's cool. Talk mess and think you're bad Well Adrianne was right. You are a bunch of racist Mother F_kers aren't you? Just look at the way you treated that white girl. Called her names, told her to *** the hell up. I'm a Jew who grew up in Newark, NJ. on Chancellor Ave. Tell me I don't know what the hard life is like. I grew up having to fight you racist mother F_kers almost every day. I hate all of you and the white *** of the world too. I hope you all kill each other over your racist ***, then maybe this country could start to make some progress when all you f_king stupid crack *** and pimped out *** kill each other. The country would be so much better without you all. Oh, and y the way... so you know what black Africans think of African Americans? I bet you don't. They hate a disrespect you crack heads. Did you know that? They call you lazy, stupid and violent. They are embarrassed by you.
How do I know this? Because I've worked for *** bosses. Great people and extremely intelligent. Not like you ***. And... my son lived in Kenya for 8 months 3 years ago. He lived in a Massai village. Do you even know who thee people are? Probably not, you're all too busy looking to get you some and get high right. Stupid freaks. Those black Africans treated my son extremely well. They weren't racist like yourselves. They didn't hate all white people like you idiots and were very humble, strong hard working people, with great values and pride. Not all the fake *** you jerks throw around. You guys aren't slaves and never have been, so get over it. You live in a great time of freedom for your people, so help each other, like other cultures do. Stop all your stupid white hate. Ha, most of the people you dislike probably didn't even have families in this country when your people had it the worst. You're so racist you don't even bother to think about that do you? It's just the cool thing to do.... hate whitey. Well that's ok, because you've taught a bunch of us to hate you to. Keep smack talking and you might just get the race war you all want so bad. Or maybe just *** the F_ck up, live your stupid little life and let others do the same. Oh by the way, yes I hate the KKK too. I'd rather just build a big bonfire and put all of you racist motherF_ckers in it. Please don't go back to Africa. They have enough problems right now and they don't want you.
People are talking about how they cant forget what happened to them in slavery days like they were there, its your ancestors plight not yours, none of you people( including me) should dare talk about the struggle because we have no idea what they went through, she is right about Black History month being racist for two reasons, 1 its only one month to celebrate the thousands of great things done by african americans which really cant be celebrated in a lifetime, 2 the more you label something as black or white or whatever the more you dumb *** support jim crow laws by upholdkng segregation....think about what the word segregate means and understand that they gave you these Black labeled celebrations so you can segregate yourselves without even knowing it, she said nothing wrong.....i just wish it was a black woman saying these things to see if she would get the same reaction, and fyi i am a black man. Break the mental chains of confusion set upon you by the powers that be, as a majority blacks have been mind *** and brainwashed to support things and they dont even know who started them.....im done smarten up people
