I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one.Personally, I've seen too many people of all races make the choice to be separated from people just to get attention. It doesn't matter to them that it's negative attention as long as they're getting it. Usually, from what I've seen, it stems from a lack of love and attention from a parent or a family that's had way too many kids that they couldn't afford or dedicate time to. Everything about life is a choice.You either choose to be a victim of your circumstances, regardless of what they are, or you don't.
You said that African kings and Queens were "tricked" into making war or having slavery. I would suggest that people figured out how to do bad things to each other on their own a long time before various religions evolved. There are a multitude of motivators to do bad things to your fellow man: resources, land, territory, wealth, power, preserving your bloodline. Such things have always been part of the human condition.
that is done on one's own accord.
It seems to me that some names evolved into something negative, did the "N" word always have a negative connotation?

Oh and the fact she is black denouncing the black community is the very reason why many starred flagged and posted here. That's reality and can be proven by looking through the posts to this thread with just a pinch of discernment.
we noticed....
We just think the "She isn't black enough" argument is poppycock.

cont........
here is the kicker if we are going to talk about roots and to prove my point. Blanco(white),Blanquedor(bleach), Branco(white),Bianco(white),Black(Black???????NOPE!!)- they all come from the same root. There are other words people use to describe other like every single nationality in your post. There are alot of things that needs to be discussed but, im just trying to respond to people with facts, im sorry if my post are a little off-track.
she had the balls to come forth and talk about a topic that is very taboo..

You didn't notice anything. There is nothing wrong with people getting education, it should be encouraged.. but OP did was disgusting.. she got her education, then look down on her people.... "im glad im not one of them"-kinda attitude.
Its about how she thinks she is better because she broken some sort of barrier that was never really there... so all she did was make all the black culture look bad. She pretty much relates her "breaking barrier" as something a black culture does not permit, which is the real poppycock.
You saying "she is not black enough" = saying black people don't get education and us criticizing her ego are hating her for her education.
What we are critizing is her undertone of degrading black culture as illiterate.

You know what they say about people that assume things, right?
I starred and flagged her for her bravery, she had the balls to come forth and talk about a topic that is very taboo, as you have proven.
People hate to hear the truth sometimes and you are a prime example of being one of those individuals.

And how about THAT, on the topic of assumptions. You are a fool. Nice beret though, looks so thoughtful
