In all fairness she is a light skinned Indian but that photo is still anglo-cized

OK Now I get it hes just really mad that at least Obama is half white

I've been following this case for the past 2 years

Also an actual statute on the books from Jim Crow days called reckless eyeballing

But isnt tha kinna realistic that as woman any woman in charge especially a BW , cocky white guys are gonna try to test you and sometimes make messes for you to clean up

During that time and even now most singers black AND white wore wigs extension etc Aretha Cher , Liza Minella etc

Why are you in the greys ????

Thank you for this based on previous online discussions I believe poster "babygotfront "has a similar aesthetic to yours the difference I find is like many other biracial.light skinned there is a willful ignorance denial and even defensiveness that any such thing as light skinned /"good hair privilege exists

I actually agreed with you That Tracee has every right to speak to her personal experiences and shouldnt be invalidated But I am able to talk and chew gum at the same time .All I am saying is that the Op also has a genuine point in that regardless of where the interview was first conducted it is being presented…

Tracee is one of my personal faves so I do agree with your point to an extent however with the headline stating Black Standard of Beauty the irony that light skinned Biracial women with loose type 3 curls are often the most projected or accepted standard of "black beauty /natural hair " is not lost on some…

Im hyperventilating just reading this the nerve of the step mom

Cape Verde is an Island off the coast of Africa and yes the inhabitants there do have varying degrees of Black Or African heritage So exactly how does this make her African -American ?

Im looking forward to seeing Selma but at the risk of being " that person " my one small pet peeve with this movie is casting a half white woman to play CSK, Now yes I know Coretta wasn't dark she was light brown but certainly not " high yellow and def not biracial

I didn't get that from the OP that she was claiming ALL of C&W to be black , she was just saying there are black roots bearing in mind this was in response to a previous poster whose comment sounded like Darius Rucker a Black man has no business being in CW and white people were basically doing him a favor …

Google can be your friend seriously , No one will deny the Irish/Scottish Folk origin but based on the co-existing in the South there was some black influence as well

You kkow not of what you type ...google can be your friend

Yes it does where the fiddle was a very important component of that sound the Banjo which gives American C&W its distinctive sound is actually an African instrument reproduced here by Slaves . Slaves were often asked to play to entertain masaah and later on poor whites and blacks used to work in the field together…

The Banjo which gives C& W its distinctive sound is actually an African Instrument brought here by Slaves Only the fiddle is European

"She revels in contrarianism for its own sake without thinking about the implications of those positions. She reveals herself daily to be a simplistic and unnuanced thinker who doesn't care about the damage the size of her platform can do"

Well If by " bringing blatant racism back " you mean latent and hard core racist are losing their mind over a brown man in the Whitehouse ...then yes
