She had Nicole Richie this morning. Nicole Richie was saying that she was of mixed heritage but she identifies as Black. That was too funny to me.

I find it baffling how Black Americans have disrepected themselves by allowing anyone to claim "Blackness". I look at our country and I think why only her in America that ppl of mixed heritage have to claim Black?

Even in countries like South Africa(which had the strictest segregation laws known to man) mullattos got to claim there own ethnic heritage. Why only her in the US that ppl of mixed heritage have to claim Black?

How do you guys feel?

Nicole's real father is the brother of Sheila E. who is of Hispanic heritage. So Nicole ain't that white.

"How do you guys feel?"

Well, I feel thay have a right to do anything they want. It's a free country and they have that right. Why do you care? And how does what they claim directly affect or impact your your life?

I don't really view Nicole to be a Black person. But she's free to think of herself as she chooses to do.

Sure, but that doesn't make her black, either.

There are black Hispanics. Cubans, and Puerto Ricans and Dominicans come in both colors. I think Sheila E considers herself black. And Nicole was raised by a black adoptive parents.

What do you mean by disrespecting yourself? You use that terminology quite often, Could you elaborate on that? I have to agree with NTFS, everyone is allowed to do and feel whatever they choose, its a free country. I think the lack of respect for our culture comes from blacks who choose to believe that something is always being taken from them, that we are always the victim, whoa is me cause im a black man, or the classic if I was a white man that police officer would have let me go. So many negative comments about our race from peolpe who supposedly love and respect their blackness. And the word Nigger has been used on this site more times than any white man has used it in history! Please, give me a break!

Well, hell, I've been wanting to be Japanese for a really long time. My hair is black enough. My skin is yellow enough. And I'm short. I dated a Japanese guy before. I've been mistaken for Malay and Indian before...those are in Asia (close enough to Japan).

Watashi no ude dokei wa motte imasen.

That's the only Japanese I know for now. It means "I don't have my watch".

I need to break out all of those Japanese language books I have and practice.

Reminds me of "Rush Hour 2"...

Don Cheadle: Man, don't come in here embarrassing me in front of my friends.

Chris Tucker: Man, you embarrassing yo'self. You a black man with a Chinese restaurant on Crenshaw Avenue.

LOL

(I LOVE Chris Tucker. Everything he says just cracks me up.)

Hispanic is not even a race.

But no, she's not a Black person. And I find it bizarre that she identifies as such. Not only does she not look Black but all her life she has been more closely associated with White culture.

Lionel Richie didn't raise her. He was never there for her. The White nannies and maids did. All he did was give her full access to a luxurious lifestyle.

Uh oh! Standby for some heavy rolls! One (or more) of the boards self anointed black-ologists is going to chastise you for you insolence! How dare you suggest black people should be responsible for their personal behavior! It’s the white man who makes black people indulge in ongoing irresponsible and reckless behavior. Yep! You didn’t know that? And if you question poor black behavior –you hate yourself (the number one and most popular accusation), you hate black people, you’re an Uncle Tom and you actively support white racism. There ya have it! So, like I said, standby for your punishment…..

You have got to be kidding! LOL!!
There you go again, the white man this the whiteman that, wake up! Thats why black people cant see the forrest for the trees, cause they so busy worrying about what the white man is supposedly doing to them. I know one thing, the white man, the blackman, the asian man, are all wonderful to me because they were created by our heavenly father Jehovah God, the prejudice and hate was formed by Satan who is the ruler of this wicked world which will very soon be done away with. And we will all live together, all races without hatred and the devils playground namely Thumpers Corner, which does nothing but encourage hate for a race other than black. So I think you had better stand by for your punishment from Jehovah God! There Ya have it! Any questions?
