Its Coming At Us From All Angles...

First little children of color are booted from a private pool they paid to swim in for fear they would " change the complexion and atmosphere", then Harvard professor, and Black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr is arrested for breaking into...his own home, now according to The New York Times American's finally are getting a glimpse of our Black president.

You see Obama answered a question that was asked to him honestly and apparently this is the first glimpse of his Blackness. All the time he's pushing bills, okaying legislation and being the leader of the free world I guess he's White. He's only Black when the question is about race. Good job NYT that statement only seems ignorant when I inhale and exhale.

Not to be outdone in tact the CW invited Karrine "SuperHead" Stephans to their morning show yesterday and well... hell just watch it.










I don't think Final Destination 4 is going to have a bigger disaster in it. I feel some type of way about this here. As much as SuperHead is a vexation to my soul just by well, being Superhead I can't feel like she's the only one in the wrong here. While I think if she knew how to act like a lady she could have steered the interview back her way I don't feel her crazy little self was set up to fail here.

I wonder if the male anchor knew that Maya Angelou was a rumpshaker in her day. The big difference between the two is that while Maya was a pimp, a dancer and a jazz floozy in her day, she grew up. She wrote about more than just her sexuality. She honed her craft and became an artist. Maya Angelou too was rapped and abused by men, but she didn't make her money using her vagina like an ATM. She put those things behind her by not writing books glorifying those acts and dropping names. She did not live to promote herself but strives to uplift a people. Superhead, is trying to still make money on being superhead.

Mr.News Anchor was out of pocket with his dismissive rump shaker comment, it was unprofessional and uncalled for even with Karine's unladylike like behavior. I also can't help but think of all the other rumpshakers that were white that never were asked so bluntly about their sex lives. Kim Kardasian is just as famous sole based on her ass and her ability to gobble cocks, yet her interview never was about seducing athletes and musicians even though that's what she's good at.


Superhead was dancing in videos almost 10 years ago, Kim K , will most likely have a new sex tape by the end of the month, but she wasn't dismissed.

I know there is a big difference between the Superhead and Mya Angelou. Yeah, Maya was a pimp, a dancer and a jazz floozy in her day, but in all honestly she grew up. She wrote about more than just her sexuality. She honed her craft and became an artist. Maya Angelou, too was rapped and abused by men, but she didn't make her money using her vagina like an ATM. She put those things behind her by not writing books glorifying those acts and dropping names. She did not live to promote herself but strives to uplift a people. Superhead, is trying to still make money on being superhead.

kinda reminds me of a quote :It would be against all nature for all the Negroes to be either at the bottom, top, or in between. We will go where the internal drive carries us like everybody else. It is up to the individual.
Zora Neale Hurston

Superhead is not ME, she is not ALL Black Women. I think what it boils down to is I'm offended by her existence simply becuase I live in a world that can't separate the two of us.
