Somebody should tell that ignorant ----- that blacks have more opportunity and success in the United States than in any other country. Just a damn shame so few of them even make the slightest effort to take the opportunity.

Fame, fortune, and celebrity aren't enough for her. She's still whining.

Me, too. First time I ever heard of her. How nice to know there's another ignorant twit in the world that I wasn't aware of until now.

I have to admit, most black folks seem to be on the other side of the political fence. I just started a new job where the vast majority of employees are black. They are wonderful and friendly and technically sharp. They are fun to be around. They are professional and hip and savvy. And then the subject of President Bush came up.

I couldn't believe it. I was drowned in a flurry of bitter invectives about the hated Bush, that Bush only went to Iraq to enrich his Enron buddies, that Bush is personally keeping bin Laden in a lavish apartment somewhere in the US, that bin Laden really wasn't to blame for 9/11 but rather the evil imperialist Bushistas, we had it coming, that Bush has bankrupted America and lied and deceived and perpetrated all sorts of evil, and yes, of course Bush doesn't care about black people. I even got an earful about the NSA eavesdropping story, "I guess now you know how we felt all along", as if the NSA has been secretly eavesdropping on black folks forever. I was stunned at the total belief in all the moonbat happy horsesh*t.

I think she should go to some other country and live (not as a wealthy person) for awhile and then come back and report. And, if she still thinks somewhere else is better, she can stay there. I don't care!

After going out to happy hours a few times with mixed company I was suprised at the blacks who shun 'nubians'.
As I recall, it was common for the house-slave parents to forbid their kids from playing with the field-hand slaves.
I'm sure its only blacks buying her music anyway.

Come to think of it, don't the Mexicans strive to have children with lighter skin? I heard not too long ago that they abhor darker skin.
