So, she became a cliche' and exhibited the worst of stereotype behavior. That showed 'em.
Anytime a black ‘makes it’ you get this type of comment, IMO, usually from blacks themselves. They called Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom, Condi Rice something else, I can’t remember.
Obama is high yellow or mullato.
I wonder what Orphah W would post if she read this.
If she had been smart she would have taken the money and laughed all the way to the bank,,—but no—she had to prove them wrong. That took her to the cemetary.
What is it about being successful that is to be ashamed of.
Tell those who say you arent black to kiss your black ass.
Right now we have a President trying to prove his blackness-——and succeeding IMO. He is fugging up like Hogan’s goat.
Turning our country into a third world crap hole, like Zimbabwe.
and although Whitney had her demons and let them overtake her, I believe she truly loved Jesus, not just talk. Her church meant church, not politics.
What better way to do that than to marry a bad boy? And the drug abuse makes her a flawed person fighting to overcome her demons. Makes her relatable.”
...I doubt she put that much thought into it. Drugs and alcohol destroy lots of people, plain and simple. Not just ones that are called “uncle Tom”.
Too White? Well, I guess in the end, she did resemble Natalie Wood.
She tried this years ago. She claimed to have smoked crack during her WJZ TV days in Baltimore. Problem was, the drug was unknown, especially in that city, during the time she was there. Crack didn’t start showing up until around 1984 in NY and LA. She left Baltimore in ‘83.
Basically, (IMO) she lied to “relate” and invoke some sort of sympathy with certain groups.
Probably so
Exactly my thoughts. I would have sat there with my little umbrella drinky and said to myself "Sellout, schmellout"...Jeeves, another round....and put a call into my masseuse.
The black churches have fallen down on the job. Instead of teaching right from wrong, they have sold their souls to the progressive movement and the Democrat party.

Can anyone post the “checklist” of what it takes to “act black” according to the people who are in charge of making this judgement?
Obama is a "tweener". He is neither black enough nor white enough.
The truly famous live in “The Bubble” anyway. While you still see & read the things that people say about you, you retain the power to shut most of it out. Other famous people have engaged in this self-destructive behavior. Race is but one component of Whitney’s demise. Probably not the most important one, either.
I call total BS on this one.
I never ever heard this from anybody.
One time she did get criticism was when she had the onscreen romance with Kevin Costner...and some blacks got ruffled a bit
Does this mean that, because I like jazz, soul, blues, funk, and Afro-Latin, and I don’t like country and its roots and branches, I’m not white enough?
Not surprised. ‘Real’ blacks considered her a Tom.
