First of all, it ain't true and get over yourself, Mary J. Blige. You are the racist; not America.

"The blacker you are, the worse it is for you. If you're mixed, you've got a shot. Jealous of Mariah and Beyonce, that's all it's about. Never mind that she's hundreds of times richer than this white girl.

She'd probably be on welfare if it wasn't for all the white people dishing out millions of their bucks for her garbage.

"She was very active in the Hurricane Katrina benefits; the tragedy struck a particular chord, since it happened not that far from where her grandmother used to have her to stay, in Savannah, Georgia."
Geography is apparently not her strong suit.

...
But it's okay or unspoken, the horrors occuring daily in Africa where grown men with aids are sodomizing INFANT girls because they were tricked into believing doing so will cure them of their HIV aids. Or how about how young females genitals are being snipped and cut off by the men as some weird form of control. Or how about how black on black slavery STILL exists in Africa. Better not discuss that dirty OPEN secret, huh.

Just looking at the corporate world around me I would say that success has less to do with the darkness of skin. It seems to have more to do with the proficiency in reading and writing English. No one will hire an employee to a high profile, high paying job if he can't communicate with the rest of the company.

Mary who?
I'm so glad I don't do popular culture!

To: EveningStar
as per Mary J. Blige:
And that's the reason why I've been considered an angry, mad, ignorant black woman in the music business."
and only in this so-called "racist" country can someone fitting the above description break away from her past and become a wealthy "whatever it is" she wants to be... there's no caste system here... where else can people break out of the social class in which they were born?
To: EveningStar
She seems to be doing okay . . .
There's nothing keeping her off the "red carpet" . . .
. . . other than the fact that her career has tanked.
