Comment: Ok so while she MAY have had good intentions the way she stated her opinion was ugly and ignorant and in poor taste. i feel ashamed to even have read her garbage. I think she needs to realize we arent gonna move on and get the F over it when people like her dimminish our history. people like her just need to shut up. oh and they do have a channel as well. its called the country music channel. and every other channel besides BET.

Comment: See Mrs. "Top Model" - gagging - you missed the point. The original intent of Black Entertainment Television (BET) was to give us a forum were we could watch our shows because of the lack of african american representation on shows in general. Of course, we can debate what it has turned out to be. Even though we all are humans there are some basic cultural differences and the different stations or for people who enjoy view shows that feature those people. BET is viewed by more than Black People - 106 and Park has been the number one show in it's time slot because of all youth not just black so they must be getting "entertained"also. As for slavery - how dare you! No people have been more affected by an atrocity than african americans. Not only were slaves murdered and tortured, they were demoralized and attempts were made to categorically destroy african culture and families. Not to mention the after math of slavery and the racism. We are still going through - Jena 6! I'm done I can't even type so more - I'm livid. She shouldn't have won top model anyway because she's ugly too - yeah i through a personal attack in there.

Comment: Wow. I'm not sure if this is the new trend or what, but it looks like (based on recent articles) that people are taking this anti-politically correct thing to another level, lol. I guess we forgot that that means even IDIOTS can speak out. Honestly, I have no idea who this lady is, don't really watch "ANTM", but I know enough to not expect extra intelligent commentary from someone on there, especially a socially confused, probably uneducated chick like this lady appears to be. It's hilarious she claims the Jews don't "b*tch and moan about Hitler." lol I dare her to minimize thier plight like she's done Blacks' and not expect a MAJOR backlash, lol, she'll then find out just how much the Jews have "gotten over" their past. But anyway, why am I wasting time on this story, it basically amounts to another idiotic pseudo-celeb popping off at the mouth...so I digress on this one...

Apparently her brains and since politics, racism and lynching is on Mars....just because her husband does not moan and groan about how the Jews were treated....she is speaking as though non of the Jews will voice how they felt then and now....if she is not the poster child of the month for a racist I don't know what she is.......

Comment: Alright of the jump off this chick career is either tanking or she is just plain stupid. “Do we hear the Jews crying that they were made slaves for thousands of years? Do we hear them whine that they should OWN the pyramids in Egypt because THEY broke their backs making them? Do we hear them b*tch and moan about Hitler, etc?” Well, yes…if you read you will see that they are still prosecuting individuals for there role in the Holocaust. BET was put together at first as a way for us to see images of over selves on TV. Hell MTV wasn’t showing MJAC. Now when she mentioned “in living color” I started laughing I knew she was clueless. How about CBS, NBC and ABC as well as several major record companies by Jews..let’s also put in the pot the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post…to name a few. So they don’t to complain when they are in control. But the most interesting part about her comments is how she straight calls out blacks…never mentions Hispanic Heritage month or Univision, or Asian Pacific American (APA) Heritage Month. Last I check we have the months to learn about everyone since it’s “melting pot” country.

Comment: This chick's 15 mins of fame fizzled out a couple of years after she won. This is obviously her way of trying to get back into the spotlight by courting controversy. I find it ironic that the most successful ANTM winner to date is black (Eva Pigford)and has hosted shows on BET, could she be salty????

Comment: Look what I can across from the jewishjournal.com …Jewish TV Channel? by Sarah Price Brown 2004-10-01 What happened…it’s now 2007 and I see that it has never materialized…they knew better
Imagine a reality television show featuring scantily clad women and nice Jewish boys, a cross between “elimiDATE” and “The Man Show.” “Nice Jewish Boyz” would aim to smash the myth of the overmothered Jewish male. It would be racy.
Imagine, along with that, political shows called “Two Jews, Three Opinions” and “Jewishly Incorrect.” Also in the lineup would be “Genesis 9:0,” a biblical quiz show; Jewish televangelism, hosted by a hip, Gen-X rabbi; music videos with a Mediterranean flair, and news from Israel and around the world.
All this conjecture would constitute the first national Jewish television channel — if John Odoner, a real estate attorney in New York, has his way. Odoner has spent the past two years developing plans for a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week Jewish digital cable channel, JTV.
In the compartmentalized world that is cable television — with special channels for animal lovers, science fiction fans and game show groupies — a television network entirely about Jews might not be far-fetched. But the question is, can it succeed?
“As Jews have a place among the nations, we have a place among the networks,” Odoner said.

Comment: As the CEO of JTV, he plans for the channel to offer a mix of news and entertainment. Non-Jews would comprise half the target audience. Evangelical Christians have already expressed strong interest in the channel, Odoner said.
Odoner has accumulated an advisory council with intellectual heft. The board includes, to name a few, Sid Zion, author and New York Daily News columnist; Ruth Wisse, a Harvard University literature professor; and Edward Alexander, a University of Washington English professor. Odoner said investors can count on his having the “gravitas, intellectually, to pull this off.”
When Odoner called Zion about the network, Zion thought it was a great idea. “Jews have been here for 350 years, and we don’t have our own station,” he said. He may host a weekly interview show, “Sid Zion Live.”
Wisse said she had not heard anything about “Nice Jewish Boyz.”
“The question is whether it [JTV] can maintain its serious standards of excellence while becoming commercially viable,” she said.
Alexander said he was not familiar with the particulars of the company.
Despite the conservative views of some of his advisers, Odoner insisted that the channel will exemplify political and intellectual diversity.

Comment: “We’re not going to be the Ariel Sharon network, the Ehud Barak network, the Bush network or the Kerry network,” he said. “We’re going to be an independent voice. On domestic issues, we’re not going to be right wing.”
“But,” he added, “on international issues, we realize these are serious times. With the decapitation of Danny Pearl, the rise of anti-Semitism in France and the rantings of Bin Laden, the goal posts have shifted.”
JTV is “the right concept for the right time,” Odoner said. The network will be “bold, accurate and unapologetic.” It will offer cutting-edge Middle East reporting, he said.
The network is in the final stages of signing an agreement to simulcast ABC Radio’s “John Batchelor Show.” While Batchelor is not Jewish, his news show has a cult following among Jews in New York and Washington, Odoner said.
So far, JTV has not signed an agreement with any cable or satellite operator. But Odoner believes that he can strike a deal by February 2005. He plans to launch in major markets, such as Los Angeles and New York.
Odoner is not alone in the race to launch a Jewish network. Bradford Hammer, president and CEO of Shalom TV in Harmony, Pennsylvania has plans of his own.
For the past year, Hammer, a former senior vice president at the Pennsylvania Cable Network, has been developing an educational network that would carry news, films, religious and cultural programming.
“Jewish Library” would feature authors discussing their books. “Our People” would showcase interviews with Jewish leaders.
In “Temple Stories,” rabbis would give tours of their synagogues. The channel would also broadcast Shabbat services. It would give air time to Jewish denominations across the spectrum, Hammer said.
The network would not have flashy graphics or look like MSNBC.
“I believe people are interested in content,” Hammer said.
He wants to promote Jewish culture to combat the troubling trends of intermarriage and nonaffiliation, he said.

Comment: Shalom TV will target synagogue-affiliated Jews who live in Jewish areas and have digital cable. It will cater to 30- to 55-year-old viewers. In contrast, JTV will seek to attract Jews and non-Jews in the prime advertising demographic of 18-49.
JTV wants to be a basic channel that will reach the home of anyone with digital cable. The network plans to earn money through advertising, licensing fees paid by cable and satellite operators and a home shopping component.
Shalom TV wants to be a premium channel that will reach only those who subscribe to it. The company would take a percentage of subscription fees.
“This model is based on the Jewish community,” Hammer said. “If the Jewish community doesn’t support the network, then there shouldn’t be a network.”
Odoner and Hammer are not the first to attempt to launch a Jewish television channel. Jeffrey Reiss, who started Showtime and the Cable Health Network, forerunner to Lifetime, founded Mosaic TV in 1999.
Based in Denver, the company planned to rely on advertising revenues and cable operator licensing fees. But in mid-2002, the company folded.
Reiss said he raised only $1 million of the $25 million he needed. The company had a $10 million conditional pledge, dependent on its finding another $10 million investor in the cable industry. But he could find no willing supporter.

Comment: If Reiss could do it over again, he would do it differently, he said. He would launch with a video-on-demand service that would require viewers to proactively select to watch the programming.
Kaleidoscope Entertainment in Toronto received a license from the Canadian government in 2000 to operate the Gesher Channel.
Marshall Kesten, the company’s CEO, thought he had a hook: deliver international news “through a Jewish prism.” Kesten imagined showing Israeli news with an English voiceover or an English text-crawl on the screen.
But when he met with news executives, he said he learned that DISH Network’s Israeli Network had tied up the rights to the programming. Without the Israeli news component, the channel was not viable, Kesten said.
“Jews watch ‘Seinfeld,’” he said. “Jews are not a first-generation immigrant community but are acculturated. Those who aren’t — the Chasidim — don’t watch TV.”
Although local broadcasters had agreed to let the Gesher Channel use their studios and equipment for free, Kesten said he could not find a financial model that would work. In his opinion, the only way a Jewish channel can succeed is through community subsidies.
The Jewish Broadcasting Network in Chicago operates on such subsidies. It is not a cable network but a nonprofit organization that airs Jewish lectures, comedy and films. Private donations fund the company, which buys air time from a local cable operator.
Mayrav Newman, executive director of the nonprofit, said Shalom TV met with her organization.
“It’s a great idea, but it’s also a pipe dream,” she said. “Who knows if it’s going to sell?”
Producing compelling programming and attracting an audience will be significant challenges, she said.
Newman’s company broadcasts only half an hour a week. “And we haven’t been able to expand,” she said.
Suzan Berns in San Francisco has been producing two weekly, half-hour Jewish programs, “Mosaic” and “A Jewish Perspective,” for 10 years. She estimates that 15,000 at most watch the low-budget productions, funded by the Jewish Community Federation.
Jay Sanderson, CEO of JTN Productions in Sherman Oaks, has been producing Jewish programming for public television, including PBS, for 25 years. According to Sanderson, there is no business model that would make a Jewish cable network viable.
“Saying you’re going to launch a Jewish cable network is like telling me you’ve cured cancer,” Sanderson said. In other words, it’s a nice idea, but it’s unbelievable.
It can take $50 million to start a network, he said.
JTV and Shalom TV have raised funds from private individuals. Neither would disclose the amount it had in the bank, but Hammer said Shalom TV has raised one-third of the funds it needs to launch.
Shalom TV will need substantially less than $50 million, Hammer said. The company plans to keep costs down by starting with a video-on-demand service. It would allow Shalom TV to launch with a small number of subscribers.

Comment: Sanderson said it’s an uphill battle to convince cable operators to carry a channel, especially for an independent company not part of an existing family of networks. Securing distribution requires having strong relationships within the industry.
Then, there’s the problem of producing original programming. Simulcasting a radio show does not cut it, Sanderson said. Howard Stern’s show is simulcast, but he’s a major personality on a small television network, he said. Sanderson believes people have high expectations for programming, and quality programming is expensive.
That’s why Odoner said he will develop four new shows and rely on six already produced ones. He plans to repeat the 10 shows once to fill up the schedule, a common industry practice. Odoner thinks his programming ideas are one of JTV’s major %*$ets.
“Others have come up with programming that’s as appealing as stale latkes,” he said.
Jeff Weber, president and CEO of Lightworks Producing Group, which produces religious programming for Faith & Values Media, said a Jewish channel will succeed only if it has good programming. “Will it succeed because it’s related to a particular faith?” he asked. “No.”
Religious-based networks exist, but many target populations larger than the Jewish community. And they often rely on nontraditional ways of making money.
EWTN, a Catholic religious network founded in 1981, generates $2.7 million each month from voluntary subscriber donations, according to Scott Hults, the channel’s vice president of communications.
Despite the challenges, Odoner and Hammer are shooting for success.
“We want to represent the colors of the rainbow that are the Jewish people,” Odoner said.
Hammer’s optimism increased when he learned of JTV in August.
“If this were such a terrible idea, you wouldn’t have all these people trying to bring it to fruition,” he said.
Hammer plans to launch his cable network, “5,700 years in the making,” before the end of the year.
Stay tuned.

Comment: I watch ANTM religiously and I remember her well. She once said if not for ANTM she'd be married with several kids living on a trailer in a small rural town (possibly rearing chickens!!!). I lost respect for her the day she started dissing Tyra to the press because she expected Tyra to turn her into a supermodel.

Comment: Hmm....it would be nice if we lived in a perfect world in which we could all be under the umbrella of 'American' history while holding hands and singing We Shall Overcome, but it ain't gonna happen. However, as long as antiquated laws (can anyone say Jena 6 ???) are on the book, put in place by slave masters but yet still applicable today - our struggle continues; until we have racial harmony across the board when it comes to fair housing and hiring practices, then we will continue to have our own slice of history. While Curry is so concerned about Black History Month and BET, she needs to be more concerned about her fractured marriage !!!!!! - Hell, what rock does she reside up under in regards to what other cultures do not have. Living in L.A. we have the Simon Wisenthal Center, African American museum; The Japanense Cultural Center; The Southwest museum, The Latino American museum and I am sure there are plenty of more all put in place to inform those who casually left US out of their CURRENT history books !!!!!

Comment: Well everyone is entitled to their opinion. Yes, we know have OUR BET which apparently is watched by all races otherwise ADRIENNE you wouldnt know anything about it. Africian Americans/Hispanics did not have many acting roles on television and in the movies. THAT'S why we had make our own movies and come up with our own tv shows which seems to appear on WB/UPN.
We had to come up with our own RADIO stations otherwise our MUSIC would not be played. ADRIENNE, I AM FROM CHICAGO
JUST LIKE YOU. I know JOLIET IL is a small town but you KNOW what's up. I AM
GLAD TO SAY..YOU NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH ON JIM CROW. TODAY I COME IN THE FRONT DOOR TO GET WHAT I NEED. I REFUSE TO TIP TOE AROUND ANYBODY. NOT TO MENTION, IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR (DARK SKIN) ITS HARD TO GET A ACTING ROLE OR TO BECOME MODEL WHO APPEARS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF A MAGAZINE
IF YOU ARE A UNKOWN. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN
A PICTURE OF A DARK SKIN PERSON ON THE COVER OF A SEARS MAGAZINE DURING THE HOLDIAYS HOLDING A XMAS BELL? UMMMM...I
THOUGHT *NOT*. In my opinion its mostly
light skin (women) who appears in most
of the good roles/book covers. The dark
skin male have more opportunities. Jennifer Holiday won an oscar. Yes, she
has an occuring role on a tv show., but
look at the type of role they offered her. SHE WON AN OSCAR. When HALE BERRY won an OSCAR she was offered MAJOR ROLES. There's the difference. WE all have to fight and continue to fight for
housing,loans,education and the list goes on. I am sure you have to fight as well, HOWEVER its not the same. AGAIN, this is just my opinion. Adrienne needs to think before she opens her mouth.

Comment: Unsensitive? Yes to some. To me no. Is it her opinion and just like everyone (including myself)is she entitiled to it whether we agree or not? Yes. I actually see her point on the Indians and sypathise with her opinion that having separate things for different races tends to divide rather that pull us together. I also think that we need to move forward, without forgetting the past. Was slavery horrible and should we never forget? Yes. But you cannot keep holding against all white people because no slave holders are alive today and you cannot use it to justify why you are not where you need to be in life. I think she is making a good point. When will we stop division and arguing and pointing fingers and just be Americans? I am sure not in my lifetime unfortunately.

Comment: Well, if she's gonna be boycotting Black History month and BET, I should boycott her sad reality show, My Fair Brady and Adrianne Curry in general because IMO, she set women wayyyyyy back. Anytime you have to whore yourself out to and practically beg a man to marry you when he clearly doesn't, she's an embarassment. Instead of adding her two cents to things she knows very little about, she needs to be trying to save her own sad career and her marriage because based on what I saw last season and what I saw of her and him on Dr. Phil, "Peter Brady" is going to cometo his senses soon and dump her azz like he did his first two wives.

Comment: Y'all should cut this chick some slack. She's just very naive about the real world. Yes, it would be great if black history month and BET (well the current BET really isn't needed, but I digress) weren't needed because everyone was fully and accurately represented and equally treated by mainstream society. Now, hopefully, after everyone rips her a new one, she will do some reading and learn WHY the separate outlets are, unfortunately, still needed. In an ideal world, we should all be able to hold hands and sing Kumbaya and live in harmony...that's just not gonna happen. There are too many greedy MFers who profit from hate and discord.

Comment: Bigfriend...your agreeing points actually does not address hers. While she's speaking out against how defining ourselves (the entire americas) by race has its faults, her focus is on black people. If her concern was about "all" americans, then there would at least mention that there should be no jewish holidays or chinese holidays or.... She is saying that "black" people need to get over...not America. Now you talking about not holding yts accountable for our current condition is something different. Moreover, the idea that if black folks "got over it" then America would be a better place or NOT be racist is a bit...utopi'ish. We divide ourselves by where we live, worship, schools, social groups, friends, country clubs etc. That's an american thing..not a black people thing. I think we all need to get over it. When will that happen? I am sure not in my lifetime unfortunately.

Comment: Why should I cut her some slack? She was mad disrespectful in telling Blacks to get the %*$ over slavery, as if all our troubles even ended as soon as the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced. She did something so hateful and now whines about how people are so mean to her. Now who'se revvelling in victim status?
And why should I cut her slack after her rant featured many untruths? All those groups she listed that don't get special scholarships... do get special scholarships. Hell, her "poor Indian friends" even have tribal hiring preference... that is when they are registered and not riding that "my great great great grandmother was an indian princess" when they are really just white bull.
Why should I cut her slack for voicing her opinion - especially when she does so as though it were fact? Or when she pats her White Supremacist MySpace friends on the back for saying things like "we give the Blacks everything and I'm sick of them," or "they should have to work hard like we do," or "why isn't there a WET," or when they flat out say "Send them back to Africa."
Why should I cut her any slack for telling the grand le that there is no European history in school? Not only is that false, but reality check - Black History is her country's history and she and apparently alot of other whites resent having to learn that Blacks did anything other than sit around waiting for Whites to "give them freedom" - as though Freedom is someting Whites should have ownership of. And furthermore, European history is not only taught in history class, it is taught in Chemisty, Biology, Physics, Coputer Schience, Literature, French, German, Dance, Music, and so on. Why do racist Whites (not all Whites, don't get it confused) clamin they learn nothing of their history when they are really jus to blind to see how common their history is in education?
And the reason Adrianne didn't see this is because she was too busy drinking, drugging, dropping out of school, and sleeping with that one Black man she dated that now makes her an expert on critical race theory.

And, I agree with thelildiva4u and wonder why she chose to single out blacks when other ethnicities have TV channels and months to celebrate their respective culture and heritage. She wasted her 15 minutes of fame and desperation kicked in like a MOFO. This is a poorly executed last ditch effort by Curry to generate some publicity. Best way to do that is to stir up some controversy so her name will be in folks mouths for awhile. Guess it worked because you better believe she has folks talking and paying attention to her NOW.

Does she know that Germany and other European countries have given Israel millions in reparations? Does she know the Jews whine every chance they get about the Nazi Holocaust and what was done to them? Does she know that there are many Jews who control the curriculum within the educational system and they make their holocaust more important than all other holocausts, including the Africans and Native Americans? Ignorance is death! And mix that with someone who has even a minor spotlight and you have millions more people who will think what she says is truth! This is how television and the media can be poison for people who are not critical thinkers and who believe everything they see or hear in the media without ever doing there own research or reading.

Comment: Slave Labour?
Until recently it was believed that the pyramids were built by slaves, captured during the conquering of neighbouring countries. After returning to Egypt they were pushed into slavery and forced to work in labour camps for the construction of the pyramids by a merciless pharaoh. Several Hollywood productions have helped plant this image into the minds of modern civilization.
However, several recent discoveries by archaeologists have cast major doubts upon this theory.
Volunteers?
A popular belief today is that the pyramids were build by the ordinary ancient Egyptian people, volunteering to help out their pharaoh and religious beliefs.
During the flooding of the nile most people, especially those working the land, would have been unable to work. So, with all that free time and a period of no income, it makes sense that this 'workforce' would be available to help construct the pyramids.

Comment: Saying that she is just naive is making excuses for her unadulterated hate campaign. She is not so ignorant that she didn't know how to single out one race in her diatribe. She is not so ignorant that she didn't try yo use some reverse discrimination argument to rile up people - even blaming Blacks for the reason Whites can't get scholarships. She knew exactly what she was doing and knows exactly how this world operates. So again, I will not cut her some slack. I don't cut racists slack. Least of all, the ones who try to pretend they are anything but racists.

Black people have been persecuted for hundreds, thousands fo years and just because we are giving a few things that could possibly help us then we are deemed 'whiners, moaners, separatist and the all time favorite...lazy'! White people have stolen from other races and murdered, raped and killed anyone that stood in there way for world dominance. I don't hear her complaining about Columbus Day - this fool killed millions upon millions of Indians in his quest to determined the world is round! I didn't her criticize Bush with his murderous ways and separatist views with the devastation of Hurricane Katrina? For anyone to believe this dumb broad (exactly what she is- beneath an animal) and her racist and idiosyncratic views much be totally dumbfounded as her! Maybe she is mad the public got the chance to see her and that whack family of hers almost near "trailer-park" living conditions on national tv. Thank you Tyra for picking such a GREAT Winner with this one! I bet your producers are scrambling at the tables now!

Comment: caribelli - Good grief, I did not say let her off the hook. First and foremost, we don't even know what perpetuated her comments. All we got was a quote without any background as to why she felt the need to "speak on it". Hell, some of the stuff folks say in here would get them fired if it was revealed (Where's testic? LOL). I'm not saying folks shouldn't check her and let it be known that she needs to do some research and think before she speaks, but I'm not going to get upset about this chick and give her power over me. However, you go ahead and get her head on a platter if that's going to make you feel like you've made progress in the fight against racism. If you knew anything about this chick, you wouldn't be giving her so much credit for her "devious calculated plan". She's not that bright.

Comment: My bad, what I meant was just because she dated a black dude doeesn't mean that she's not a racist, trailer park white trash bubblehead. Glad I got that cleared up. We as black folks have to stop being so dayum forgiving. When George Wallace died a few years all kinds of black in alabama came out in mourning and Jesse Jackson gave the eulogy which destroyed any remaining respect I had for him. To show you how weak black folks are I bet everybody on here a dollar that if Adolph Hitler walked into T.D. Jakes or Eddie Longs church and asked for forgiveness they would give it to him w/out any form of payback.

So it was a good move publicitywise just as marrying Peter Brady was a good move as he has millions from his computer business ventures. <> I'm sure Entertainment Tonight, Access H'wood or one of them shows'll get a comment from Tyra.

If any other race demanded a month be set aside for ONLY them, they would be considered racist. I am NOT living by this double standard any longer." What? WHAT??? I don't even know where to begin!!! Why does she think that Telemundo or Escandalo TV is racist?

Uh, excuse me Miss Cottonball for Brains, but there are SEVERAL organizations set up for ethnic groups other than blacks. Do you know that there are government funds set up solely to aid Native Americans? Do you know that Alaskan natives (primarily Eskimos) get a check each year from Uncle Sam just BECAUSE they are natives? Do you know that September is Hispanic Heritage Month? And since you brought up BET, do you know there are Spanish channels on cable too? And since when have the Jews "moved on" from anything? (Not saying that they should.) They never miss an opportunity to bring up the Holocaust and call somebody "anti-semetic." And for your information, EVERYDAY is Anglo-Saxon History day in the United States. I could go on, but it's useless. You have about as much sense as a doughnut. She's cluel

Maybe now they would choose to check the other box when filling out applications BUT back then HISTORY would even telling you that they were black all of Egypt Royalty was black and no matter HOW MUCH THEY DON'T TO ADMIT IT .... EVEN JESUS HIMSELF WAS BLACK. How many white people did you know that had "were dark and had hair liek wool?" So Ms. Curry is not as smart as she thinks she is.. Way to go ANTM it goes to prove some points about CERTAIN models... they can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

Comment: Although it is good to get these types of viewpoints to know exactly what we are dealing with but this is a none news story. This is a dumb bunny failed American Top Model winner from several seasons ago who's only claim to fame was marrying 'Peter Brady' from the Brady Bunch. She has no ability or intelligence to effect or influence policy or change so who gives a rats azz about what she thinks. At this point we are coming to the time that Blogs, much like opinions are like azzholes, everyone has them (and can post all kinds of nutty stuff to confirm that many folks are indeed nutcases.) The only thing this is good for is to continue to confirm how out of touch most white Americans are.

Comment: I honestly don't see anything wrong with what she said. I am an african american woman and I do believe in my black heritage and if other white leaders would have her take on racial equality then we wouldn't have to still protest for the Jena 6 we wouldn't have to have the NAACP, there would be no need for the Al Sharpton's or Jessie Jackson's or any other black activist. But because she's the only one who has that opinion....we have to keep doing what we are doing....and in my opinion her opinion was very vague, it's obvious that some event triggered her feelings because they are very strong and that's what I'm interested in knowing...WHAT triggered this blog then we can probably better comment on it....because if it was the Jena 6 then....that %*$!( has issues....if it wasnt' the Jena 6 and she just feels that way..then...that %*$!( still has issues...but....it's just an opinion if that's the case.

Comment: I think alot of the posters on here are dwelling on insignifigant things. Obviously she could not name every damn holiday, month, and tv station that is from another ethnicity. I do believe she is naive and a bit misinformed but that never stoped anyone from giving their opinion before. her statement may rub some the wrong way but say it is racist- you need to look that word up in the dictionary. That word is thrown around a little loosely these days. She had her say, she got people talking and thinking, and she will fade away again shortly.

Comment: Personally, I don't really take offense to what she says to much.. b/c she just shows how "unintelligent" she is. I think that she cursed more then she really made sense. It's okay for her to feel the way she feels b/c she is white. I bet a lot of white people probably feel that way, but just don't have the courage to say it. She has to understand that racism is still alive and kicking as a white person in American despite what she thinls. She has had things handed to her, she has had opportunities that us as black people have not had or have had to work 10 times harded to obtain. I would expect someone like her and most white people who don't know about the struggles that we have had to endure for years. Not just the fact that our great great great great great... grandparents were slave and raped by the "master" not just that our ancestors were hung and beat to death.. not just that our grand parents were made to sit on the back of the bus, drink from a different water fountain, and denied a decent education b/c of the color of their skin. Just because they would never understand.They look at us and think everything is cool b/c we ride around in fancy trucks, have big houses, and wear name brand this and that... but alot of us don't even realize that we are only enslaving ourselves even more. We are making the other races rich and just like Kanye said we think we are living the American Dream.. b/c we are riding around in a benz but to them all we are is a "ni%^er in a coupe."

I don't need her head on the platter, but I'm certainy not going to go making excuses for her racist rant by just labeling it as ignorance. Least of all when she has expressed no desire to overcome her ignorance.
Do you honestly believe that because she is "not that bright," she's not at all a dangerous type? Those are among the worst.
I'm always amazed that there are people who will try to justify any racism directed at them. I don't need to fit so closely in with society that I will laugh along with them while they laugh at me.

Comment: bigfriend - I get ticked off whenever a white person says "get over it". I would gladly do that if racism wasn't alive and well today. Like someone else said, I don't dwell on slavery; I'm fighting the current, sophisticated James Crow, Jr. (quote Al Sharpton last week), the son of Jim Crow. He doesn't wear white robes, march or burn crosses. But he prosecutes my people unfairly, he overlooks us in hiring and promotions on the job, he doesn't pay us the same salary as our white co-workers, he makes offensive and condescending remarks, he arrests my brothers for driving while black, etc. etc. So, I won't be "getting over it" any time soon.

Comment: First of all, she is a kid who knows nothing about the plight of Black Americans. She is not the one being refused decent work and salaries; having doors closed in her face due to the color of her skin; prejudged and misunderstood for her nationality. Nor is she the one, hired into less desirable positions than what she is qualified for, then mistreated on the job once hired; and made to work for imbalanced and scrappy wages. She has no voice concerning Black Americans, nor anyone else for that matter. She need to acquire a good "Publicist" to teach her when and what to speak into the ears of the public; and, when to shut the hell up about things she knows nothing of. Life in Black America is no where near "The F_cking Brady Bunch"; and, she need to get real with what the hell has happened, and what is still occurring throughout the entire fabric of this joke called "America". Furthermore, she is obviously in the right field of "being seen; but definitely not heard".
