Just checking back in to point out some lies.

Now, HoeHoe... ​

So many lies in so few words.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!! For the Soul Train Award/DJ era speech!!! lol

Happy birthday!!!!

I just don't understand people and their obsession with the Kardashians.... Anyway, get money bitch...

This. While this article clocked both of the previous articles in this thread (and is actually very true lol), I think what I quoted is at least one of the argued points in the original article. At least that's what I took from it... *shrugs*

It is still directed toward gay white males and those that she feels takes from the culture and/or use it in a very stereotypical way. I think that's very clear. She's simply saying she doesn't think all gay white males act this way. You've missed the point. I think the point is the "ghetto girl from around the way" is not all black women and she's offended when gay white males approach her thinking this is "cool" way to interact with her or black women in general. Also, there is the "Miley Cyrus" effect. Something (good or bad) is popularized within the black culture, a white person uses it (for the sake of argument a gay white male), and suddenly it's in and cool. A gay white male can adopt it and drop it whenever he sees fit, and is not be looked down upon. She can't shake the stereotypes that the white gay male is appropriating when being a "strong black woman".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhW2LMcgw5M The authors of both articles. I can say most definitely say he doesn't get it. It's what happens when the topic of "white privilege" in general is discussed. Many don't like to be confronted with the "advantages"/"privileges" they have simply because of skin color, so instead of discussing it rationally, the defense mechanism kicks in.

HoeHoe, you would know better than I would.... Yes, Basically lol

HoeHoe, yes I know you're constantly spilling your own tea. We know all about the trade you've given up the goodies to for spare change.

HoeHoe is spilling his tea all over the forum again....

And they claim Rihanna is only inspired by Metamucil...

I have a problem with it when some appropriates the culture, but are ignorant to/insensitive to the issues within the culture. I have seen that many times.

Even with the little bit of shade she threw. She was still in attendance at Janet's "Up Close and Personal" tour in LA. lol

Just pointing out the lies in the thread. Other than that... if they are having sex it's better to give them condoms to protect themselves.

You wouldn't shade me if you loved me!

HoeHoe and Dayz ????

TOF and Rochester

All. Of. This!!!

I wuv you Rochester...

Rochester nailed it. I'm shocked. lol Without knowing her background a lot of people were upset because she does not look like Aaliyah... and her skin tone is definitely a part of it. If you've never heard of someone, you're told they are going to play Aaliyah, and this is among the first images you're greeted with... That's going to cause a problem. Many didn't even realize she was mixed until it was pointed out by Zendaya herself. More than likely they would've put her in darker makeup to make it work. Which like Zoe Saldana portraying Nina Simone (a slightly similar situation, but entirely different) that's not going to sit well with many in the African American community. Too many it's like "you couldn't find anyone Aaliyah's complexion to portray her? " That's what many meant when they said she's not "black enough" lol

You neglected the cheap shot/innuendo in what I posted... but nonetheless, they illegally trespassed on to private property to photograph and detail everything "weird" and "creepy" or what they thought they could present as bizarre, as it relates to the allegations. They say that in the article and the article itself is presented in that way. If you or any one else is looking at the article as an "interesting" look into Michael's home... you've been short changed, because the focus is their stale cheap shots and innuendo. What they did is tacky and pathetic on so many levels... not to mention illegal.
