The star of TV's The Cosby Show and That's So Raven sat down with Oprah Winfrey and attempted to clarify the misconceptions about who she is. One of the topics the women addressed occurred in August 2013, when the Supreme Court ruled that the ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. At the time, she tweeted, "I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you." Many people saw it as her way of publicly coming out. Asked to explain, Raven replied, "That was my way of saying I'm proud of the country. But, I will say that I'm in an amazing, happy relationship with my partner. A woman."

When I fill out any questionnaire that asks about my race I check “other” or write in human
I don’t want to help them in their eternal quest for balkanization and racism
I suppose it never occurred to you that I actually knew that?
It’s called a joke. Windy and I have probably exchanged more Freepmail than most on this site, ergo It’s a pretty safe bet it came up in conversation.
Norm's just funnin, Granny, and he knows I'm not the least bit offended. He and I have been good buddies for a long time and I'm used to his brand of twisted humor.
I really do appreciate you being so willing to defend me here. Thank you very much!
Well my humor used to be normal and then SOMEBODY...won’t mention any names... made me listen to Hendrix again and now there’s a Purple haze all in my brain. It expanded ....MY MIND!!!!. Blame it on Jimmi. He probably hates black people too ;)
Thing is, kidding aside, the “You hate black people” thing is pretty much a standard response on FR as a point of sarcasm toward the libs/msm, and is a daily occurance across freepdom so I am not sure why exactly she spazed.
Hell I even had the ;) at the end of the sentence.
“acting lightskin”? that is a new one on me.
I came across the Anthony Bourdain travel show this weekend and he interviewed a black guy in one of the New York boroughs. The guest said the area was once inhabited by white people. Bourdain asked why kind of white people. He obviously meant their ethnic backgrounds. The guest said “You know, vanilla, milk, kiss their dog on the mouth white people.” (I think I got that quote correct or near enough) Hmmmm.
Translates to “Uncle Tom” basically.
Aw garsh, ma'am. Thank you!
Well....ahem....somebody had to do it. Couldn't let you keep embarrassing yourself with all that idolizing of guitar mechanics like Yngwie Malmstein!
You just needed a little nudge toward some REAL music. Thank goodness it sank in! I can finally have an adult conversation with you, now that you've acquired some culture and class .. LOL
kidding aside
Yeah, I kinda was surprised by that response, too, but I truly believe her heart's in the right place. If I was at all sensitive about this stuff, I couldn't read here all that long - what - with crap like Ferguson going on, and much of Freeperdom's response to the ridiculous antics of the thug culture behind it.
I don't flinch, because the harsh commentary isn't directed at me. It's directed toward a cultural subset I don't belong to.
:O) I do my best with those I know.
And the first African American to win a Best Actress Oscar
ha! That’s right! And I bet she didn’t pathetically scream and cry like half-white woman Halle Berry. You ever see that pathetic display of racism? Just like Obama, entirely raised by her white mother in white neighborhoods, white schools in white Cleveland Ohio, but when she wins an Oscar, oh suddenly it’s the “oppression of the African American Yo! Halle broke down the color barrier!” “Oh this moment is SO much bigger than me!” as if there was any barrier to begin with. Just absolute vomit inducing racist pandering....

Look at this: Even Wikipedia is furthering the myth:
“Halle Maria Berry (born Maria Halle Berry; August 14, 1966)[1] is an American actress and former fashion model. She won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2002 for her performance in Monster’s Ball, becoming the first and, as of 2014, the only woman of African-American descent to win an Oscar for a leading role. “

“the only woman of African-American descent to win an Oscar for a leading role” - I guess they forgot about Charlize
You're a dear. Thank you again!
