Ironic that Tracee is the type that stands up for women. Could you imagine how Tracee would have perceived the treatment of Florence Ballard of the Supremes by Berry Gordy and Diana back in the day? I imagine she would have gotten in their faces and defended Florence vigorously!

Unpopular Opinion: I always get a strange feeling ( like in my gut) when I hear or see black men who married white women speak on black women's' issues or stand on a pro-black platform. I don't know what it is cuz I dont care about peoples lives, especially celebs. but when they're on a " I love my culture so much" platform .. I guess I question their authenticity like Y should I support you? you chose to cross over (which is beautiful) but don't try to come back, like this is what you are into, stop pretending. It's a very conscious choice ( as a man) to surround urself and and go out and seek a specific kind of mate.. you know what I mean.. so much of these guys all have white wives, I just don't get it, like are they trying to make up for marrying a nonblack woman? are they forced to do so ? it boggles my mind I tell ya. I don't even know if I'm making sense. I'm just trying to figure out why I feel this way.. It's kinda like ..how dare you have your cake! and try to eat it too. just stick to ur lane(that uuuuuuuuuuuu've chosen.)

Isn't Tracy Ellis Ross half Jewish also how can she just no acknowledge that and just say she's just black. I don't know I think she's trying to hard.

Because jewish people rule the world thats why, and because when they put some black people on tv like on the news they always pick someone with a scarf on that has teeth missing, because she is trying to make up for all of that stupid shit that they try to pin on us black people.

Are black Americans really this insecure to need all this attention, and patting on their heads? 14% of the American population can’t be more special than the other 86% of Americans. Unless black privilege is real, and black Americans are exploiting their privilege to make themselves more important than the rest of Americans?
Marg H6 months ago
Onlookers sometimes don't get it. They have to be in it, experience it, feel it to understand it. You obviously are not black, so you do not understand nor feel the black experience and the denigration and disrespect that come with that historically and currently. Your observation/comment is shallow and remiss of the issues that do make the black experience in America unique.

Jester - take Cb Cb's response as a good example of your initial statement. 14 lines of indecipherable jibber jabber. He or she doesn't take into account the "fact" that blacks are the black's worst enemy.
Cb Cb9 months ago
I'm uncertain what you are explaining because it sounds as if you have no idea what has happened in the world and what is happening in the world when it comes to anyone other than yourself, it's alarming to say the least, just name in a current event where someone has killed a black man or woman who is other than black and has been punished for the crime I'll wait, there does seem to be a tale of two cities we as Americanized people live in where if it doesn't personally affect you it doesn't really exist and that's a dangerous place to live, Americanized African people have a right to feel insecure when we can't save our children which are our future because no one is held accountable for the crimes committed against us and yet we're supposed to play nice and pretend that everything is ok just because some have better advances in this time, how insulting that in 2018 there are people still asking the question why are we angry when our history is still walked over as something we should get over already when that isn't asked for by any other ethnicity in the world
Cute Little Suzie9 months ago
Yes. They are truly this insecure. 1% of their community in relation to the US population become famous. Athletes, musicians, singers - well sort of singers - make millions. One even made billions. However, the remaining community is a thorn in the US' side. Their "failure" is due to racism and not their lack of motivation - or so they say. Sad stuff.
