Comment: "THEY"? Essence didn't have to misquote her. She revealed her mentality as soon as she opened her mouth. If she really "stood for the African American people", as she said, she would have said "WE" throughout the article. Why thank you Miss Kiki, we-uns sho' do pre'shate you stannin' up fo' us darkies.

Comment: I first heard about this "article" on our local radio station and the female commentator was really upset so I went to the essence website and read the article in its entirety. I must say...I wasn't that offended or upset. If you read the entire article she seems a little dingy but she is also a bi-racial woman who in the past (like a lot of bi-racial people) seemed confused about who she is as a person. Some people are not good at interviewing and a bad choice of words can hurt you and she is definitely not good at being interviewed....the entire article made her seem just a little immature and naive.

Comment: I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I read that article, and I was so ashamed for her. The part they quoted in this article is just the crust of the problem. This girl was so full of her one-album-that-nobody's-thinking-of-now self it disgusted me. I actually wrote Essence an email b/c it was so embarassing. The comical part was knowing the interviewer was just letting Keke bury herself, and Miss Wyatt used the best shovel publicity could buy!

Comment: I'm not buying that. She's old enough to know what words to choose. So what she's bi-racial. There are plenty of bi-racial people who don't refer to one half of their race as "THEY". She talks as if she thinks she's doing us a favor. PLEASE!

Comment: "No, I'm not all Black, but I definitely stand up for the Black people. They've had it rough..." Thanks for the sympathy, Ms. Wyatt, but really, your pity is not necessary. As far as your career goes, for it's duration I think you'd better focus on crossing over to the non-Black population. Or simply hone in on the "light skin, pointy nose and pretty hair" demographic. Because I doubt if you'll get much support from us poor, pitiful, wide-nosed, nappy-headed Nee-groes.

Comment: LMAO @ infofan!!! KiKi if at the end of the day all that matters is the music, not your race, why did you even entertain the question? Who asked you what race you are and furthermore, who cares?!? I can tell by the way she was stumbling all her words that she said exactly what Essence.com quoted her as saying!

Comment: My gut instinct is that she was not misquoted, she just did not like what she said once it was on paper. Why? It does not seem at all bad to me. I think what she said was fine. I do not understand people that say one thing and instead of sticking by it and saying "yeah I said it and that is my opinion and if you don't like it sorry". You need to be who you are and not just try to make everyone happy because it will never happen. It would be a mess if I was important enough to be quotable all kinds of people would protest me and I would not care. I have my opinions as does everyone else and that is the way it is.

Also, your mom knows by now that the N-word is not cool. I feel sorry for you that you and your siblings grew up with her saying that to you. Sounds like the plantation!

Comment: I'm going to post the myspace links for her parents' pages. One of their sons make reference to the brouhaha on the mother's page. He said "I'll fcuk a bich up over you". Every interview I've read showcasing Keke...the first thing out of her mouth is "my mama white". She's so used to ignorant people kissing her arse because of her skin tone that she really put her foot in her mouth. Her mother called them N***as to make them feel she was superior to them and their father who's black as the ace of spade. I doubt if he's half Native American...he looks straight from W. Africa somewhere. Most biracials think exactly as Keke but are more subtle expressing their distaste for Blacks. One thing about it, they use Blacks as stepping stones to gain greater acceptance from those who shun them. Her mother wouldn't allow them watch "Roots" because she didn't want her children to hate whites...but she didn't have a problem passing down ignorance against Blacks. Typical.

Comment: This just p's me off so bad! I can not stand women who think they are so pretty because they hair is straight and they are light skinned! I'm light and have a decent grade of hair, BUT my mother NEVER raised us to think we were better than anybody. I think that is the difference between having a BLACK mother and a white mother! Having WHITE in you do not make you superior. Being a child of GOD is what gives your FAVOR. No matter your hair, skin color, and nose. This is a bunch a bullsh**! KeKe is not going to get one red cent of my money. I read Essence and whether they misquoted her or not, she still came across as igorant and nasty. Her personality was fowl! I was shocked at alot of the things she said. Nothing against biracial people, but get it together. African Americans do not care if you are biracial, majority of us are mixed with something! Get over it, being biracial is not what make you beautiful. It is our heart!
P.S. I know not all biracial people are confused, but it is not looking for you guys, 1st Halle, then Mariah, and now KeKe.

Comment: 4my, I know you didn't mean any harm, but using the term "grade" when referring to your hair is another way we divide ourselves. If you want to describe your hair, just say it's naturally wavy, curly, etc. Don't classify it as a "grade". That's the way massa and them further divided us.

Comment: Loose lips sink ships. You shot yourself in the foot KeKe however, I will not totally condemn you. Whether black people want to admit it or not we are responsible for the perpetuation of foolishness. KeKe is black just look at her actions and response (we do not want to hear that you mom and her white sisters are with brothers). Learn your audience. If we can support brothers that perpetuate foolish and marry non-black women, surely you can support a multi-racial sister that marries black men.

Comment: My mother is a black woman whose skin is a light complected as can bee. For the first eight years of of my life I thought my mom was white, not that I cared because she was my mom. Then one day she explained to me that the reason her skin was so much lighter than my fathers or mine was because she was part Indian. The only Indians I have ever seen were the ones on westersn on television so I still didn't fully understand what that meant to her till much later(I'm 30 now). My mother is multiracial in her background but make no mistake she is a black woman in everyway that matters regardless of any superficial assumptions based on her straight hair and low melanin count. She along with my late father taught me about being black in America. WE did watch roots, my parents instilled in me sense of blackness that comes from the inside not from skin color, hair, close, hand grettings, language or so many of the other things my people tend to mis-associate(if you will) with being black. I think about this alot when ever this subject comes up. I know this may cause some venom to spewed towards silenjay but I'm going to give KeKe the benefit of the doubt because it sounds like there was alot of confusion in life as child growing around people who have didn't in internal sense of who they are and what it means which probably lead her to saying some crazy stuff in a interview(allegedly). It sounds she wasn't taught what I was taught at least not the same degree anyway. It sounds like she as issues, and she will probably look back on this whe she's alot older maybe by then she wise enough to know what not say no matter how she was raised.

Comment: MelodyCool. I agree. Its bad enoough that white media does it (see TV commercials and print ads, etc)...but its worse when black folk do it (see the women most chosen as hip-hop "video girls"). In a way, you almost can't blame some biracials for having that kind of attitude , cuz since birth, that's what's always been conditioned into their minds , via the messages sent to them by white and black America.

SO RIGHT, MelodyCool! am i the only one bothered by this phenomenon that keke eluded to that black folk are somehow the dumping grounds for castaway white, asian, (fill in racial or ethnic group here) women and their mixed children when their families 'reject' them? i have always been bothered by that premise that we'll just take anybody - including the low-character, trashy white women and their kids by low-character trashy black men. (y'all know what i'm talkin bout, too. don't even front). it seems we even believe the hype that 'they' are better than 'us' if they have the higher social standing to reject those who blemish their gene pool. what about OUR gene pool?

Comment: Black folks, if you go on backintyme.com/odr and mulatto.org etc...you'll find out just how much mixed raced folks detest Blacks and they "HATE" when we claim them. They use Blacks when it convenient only and want us to step off. Keke knew Essence was a black-oriented magazine and she could have side stepped that interview. They "always" make their name with Blacks first and then want to distance themselves when they hit the bigtime. They can stay gone for all I care!

When the girl was born, she wanted to watch her all the time and show her off because she has curly hair and light skin. When my cousin had a son by a dark skinned man several years ago, she wanted to babysit the girl, but not the boy. To this day, she doesn't want the boy to come to her house because he's "bad."

Yes, we do condition them from the cradle that they are a cut above Blacks. I NEVER make a big to do over biracial kids and would never place them over Black children. However, our children have already picked up on this mentality and learned to idolize them too.

Comment: Look we have alot of issues of self hatred in the black community(so called) whether too dark, to0 light or even too nice. While we're getting indignant about Imus and some rappers lets try to remember neither Imus or Davind Banner invented these words or the negative ideas that they convey. I mean I can go back to Malcom X aka Detroit Red burning his scalp with lye so could slick back his natural kinky hair. Oooh we've had issues with our hair and our skin for a loong time thats why while its understandable that some of us our mad at Keke we have to remember try to consider she is not the first to have these issues and untill we all sit amongst ourselves on adress this she will not be the last.

Comment: CLOSET.....I am black and has natural hair with color. I am not sure if your hair is permed or not. I use Dudley's curl activator daily. This is the best to use on non-permed natural hair. This product has glycerin in it. They have another product which they might try to sell you, but you want the curl activator. This is perfect for moisturer, but I will not recommend to use on permed hair. I believe the PVC is good for permed hair. Dudley is a black owned hair company.

Comment: KeKe Wyatt is a girl that was raised educationally and culturally deprived, and not because of her poor choice of words. She does not seem to know any better because she more than likely was not taught any better in the respect that her mother gave her the impression that she could chose who she should identify with. If you really want to have a fun read she also has an article in Sister to Sister and she comes off like a confused ditz. I get the impression that perhaps because she was with primarily with her mother and her mother also didn't seem to come from the best educational and cultural environments that certain things simply were not taught, for example because her mother had half siblings that were bi-racial it was okay to use the N word because they all used in as a term of endearment and she talks about how 'ghetto' her mother is as if she is really proud that her mother is 'ghetto'. Unfortunately KeKe's thoughts and ideas are by no means unusual. BTW with all her 'pretty' hair and 'pretty' skin she still ended up in an ugly situation in which she stabbed her husband during the holidays several years ago, but they are still together 'A girl gotta do what a girl's gotta do' was her explanation, I guess no matter how you are elevated you can still end up in some low places.

Comment: CLOSET....yes you can. I have as you say the motherland hair too. I have kinks and naps and so on....lol. I've been natural for 11 yrs and I use this faithfully everyday. A small bottle last me about three months or you can buy a large bottle and it can last 6-7 months. Yes, you can use on wet hair. I will admit after washing your hair you do have to use a lil more than usual. It helps you hair to grow 10x as well.

I pay $8.73 and that is with tax. If you have any cosmotologist friends they can order it for you. Providing they are in a shop, I'm sure they should have a dudley rep at least every two weeks.

Comment: On December 25, 2001, after local Shelbyville, Kentucky authorities' response to a domestic dispute call, Keke Wyatt, then age 21, was arrested and charged with stabbing her husband Rahmat Morton, then age 28, up to five times with a steak knife....Wyatt was indicted on one count of second degree %*$ault....Despite doctors having to remove part of the knife from his back, Morton did not press charges against his wife....In her July 2007 interview with AllHipHop.com...Wyatt was quoted as stating that she could sing better than entertainer Beyonce Knowles. Both Knowles and Wyatt are formerly affiliated with a childhood all-girl group The Dollz. “If you notice, I’m yellow. My natural hair is the color she dyes her hair. I have the little waist with the big booty. It’s all the same thing but I sing better, so [it was their loss]. Say I don’t [sing better than Beyonce]"....In her August 2007 interview with Essence Magazine, the magazine quoted Wyatt as stating that she was married to Jesus when asked if she was still married to Rahmat Morton....“My mom was raised around African-American people all her life. She can cornrow and everything....” Source: Wikipedia.org.

Comment: SweetieDarlin I completely agree, our ancestors were conditioned to hate to hate themselves. We were held against our will and brainwashed to betray everything about ourselves. But SweetieDarlin don't you think by now we should addressing these issues. There was a movie called "The Brother from Another Planet", you probably saw it. In that movie there is scene when the alien brother goes to a museum and sees diagrams of how our ancestors stuffed down in the bowels of slave ships during the treacherous middle passage. In that moment the alien brother realizes the planet he escaped to was no different than the one he escaped from. The long drawn point I'm trying to make here is none of us are brothers or sisters from another planet, we are fully aware(I hope) of the planet we're living on and how our people have been mistreated. We know that black people in America have alot debugging of our own internal programing. We know we need to turn off the tv and close the magazines that constantly tell we're second class, less than naturally atractive and begin to rediscover who we are. Yes America has alot to answer for but I'm tired of waiting for her to come around. I rather we focus our time and energy on changing ourselves.

Comment: Like Katt Willimas said "@itch its called self-esteem, its the esteem of you m@!$%ing self @itch, How I can you affect how you feel about you simple @itch". You may not agree with his choice of words but the message rings true, its about how we see ourselves. I mean if you have a white person who comes to every moring and tells how worthless you then by all means knock thier azzes out but since more than likely that's not your situation and you still fell hatred its probably coming you or unfortuantely your kin folk. We need just like the Germans, the Jews, and the Japanese did after WW2, we need to revamp our own image and rebuild with our own communities just as those three groups of people did. They didn't wait for the rest of the world to give them clear a path of redemption they made thier own path. We need to start with Philadelphia, alot young brohtes there are living the half life meaning half of a life. While we're tripping about the things other people outside the community are saying.

Comment: Reminds me of that episode of "Good Times" when Paula Kelly was playing a doctor and kept saying, "You people <blah blah blah>."

Comment: SilentJay, you right. At one times, jews and blacks worked together for civil rights, but we seem to be on a totally different plane now. Look at their communities vs. ours. They expect better and never forget the holocaust or allow their children. However, they have used their bad experiences as a springboard to something better. In contrast, we are mired in conflict and killing.

Comment: CLOSET_NERD_GIRL: "Lurker Mama" here. I've been using products by Ebene Naturals, a black-owned hair products company based in Florida (owner is Fayola). The products are all-natural, no chemicals; used a lot of their products while in Jamaica, swimming in the Caribbean. Yeah, mon. Website is: www.ebenenaturals.com.
The shipping time is kinda slow (to me), but worth the wait. I've heard of customer complaints on Carol's Daughter, but I've never tried any of the products.

Comment: Ah FiveMore I'm sorry to cause you illness but like I said I don't agree with everything KW says or how he says it, but even a broken clock is right twice a day and you have to give the devil his due.

Comment: I used to be Carol's Daughter biggest fan, since way before she brought Jada & Mary on board. I do believe I've tried every single product at least once. But they started cheapening the formulation of their products, and customer service went into the toilet. Now I only use the shea mousse moisturizers. For hair, and call me a sellout if ya' want to, I'm Frederik Fekkai, all the way. My hair has NEVER felt so good (extremely coarse & tight).

Comment: @oshun...I'm gon' holla at you too. @sweetiedarlin...I saw that S2S article with Keke. She mentioned her mama being white and how a "caucasian" wrote that song "Ghetto Rose" expressly for her. That "caucasian" must be mad as hell thinking this album might tank. I think Keke is really smelling herself to invoke Beyonce's name in a negative manner. Bey prolly would have helped her out, but not now. If she doesn't make it to the big time, we'll be reading about Keke in the news once again. Her attitude STINKS! She won't get any of my BLACK dollars...no siree!

Comment: Looking at the article...i believe KeKe, I believe the reporter, maybe not on purpose, replaced certain words for the article to make it grammatically correct. Keke was probably rambling on and on and the reporter or editor whoever actually writes the article probably didn't want to keep putting...black people or African Americans because it was getting to be redundant and just replaced it with them or they. Right about now I don't think anyone should do interviews regarding race. Everyone is very sensitive regarding that issue ever since Jena 6...and with just cause. But EVERYONE isn't racist and EVERYONE isn't trying to degrade our race!!!!!!!!

Comment: I first met KeKe when she was about 14. My friend Billy Bad (Keith Sweat, DOS etc.) was doing her demos and she had an incredible voice! Her Mom was workin at Churche's Chicken and she used to give us the hookup! Keke's mom is one of the coolest women I have ever met.Because of her background Keke's mom was accepted in the hood..we didnt see her as white...She was and is a real sista. I think it's a a shame that folk are quick to tear Keke and her mom down and they dont even know them. I havent seen em in years but if I am ever back home and I run into em I will tell em to shake the haterz! Keke..Keep making great music. I will buy the album when it comes out!
