Adrianne Curry: Another Fine Mess

1. ...she needs to read more and spout off less. what she fails to realize is, it's white history the other 11 months of the year. and, it's "wet" on any other given channel, at any given time. sounds like her "husband's" views, anyway...especially the part about the jews...

3. Black History Month exists to heal the wounds of slavery???? News to me. I always thought it was just a month of tribute to our history and all of the accomplishments of African-Americans. Interesting that she has no issues with Hispanic Heritage Month (occurring right now) and has no clue about Native American Heritage Month. I guess only blacks need to move the f--- on.

Ignorant, plain and simple.

4. Although she clearly has no tact and is kind of an idiot (I've seen her show), she makes a somewhat valid point.

6. Her comments are very dangerous. her and Chris Knight were on Dr. Phil Friday talking about how their marriage is in serious trouble. Dah like we didn't know that from watching their reality show. I predict they will not be together in 5 years. I just hope they do not bring a baby into a bad marriage. They had no business getting married People tryed to tell them

7. Wow! Maybe she should think before she shares her "opinions" with everyone. I read her entire blog entry yesterday. And although it does have some valid points if you choose to look at it from her perspective..she comes off as ignornant in so many facets of her loose argument that they're completely lost.

8. And just for the record, I don't agree with her. But can we all PLEASE try to keep this post civil. You can speak with tact and respect of others. We're all humans on the same earth. I hope this doesn't turn into a hateful racial bashing...

9. I'm not saying I agree with her on her comments, but whenever someone does pull the slavery card out they seem to forget that -yes the white man enslaved africans, but it was also the WHITE man who fought and DIED in the civil war to FREE the african man. Does that not count for something?

10. To the poster calling him/herself "??" White men did not fight and die to free slaves during the civil war, they fought to keep the union together, ending slavery was NOT the Main Agenda....do your homework!

11. You need to read up on the CIVIL war! The north wanted to pass laws prohibiting the growth of slavery and ultimately end slavery but the south didn't want to do that so the south wanted separate from the north and that is what started things off!!! Do some reading!!!

12. It is obvious that she has not done her homework. She wants black people to move the *@%%! on but what is she doing to contribute to the fact that there are more white faces on the covers of high fashion magazines than any other race. There are more white families portrayed on tv than any other race etc. etc. We can do this all day. The BET station alone with Ebony and Jet magazines and other media such as this exists to be an outlet for people who other wise have to search the channels or magazines to find someone or something to identify with. There was a time not too long ago where blacks were only cast for roles that demeaned them and portrayed them in a negative light. These outlets are here for a reason Black History Month salutes the African Americans that have contributed a great deal to our country who other wise would never get the recognition they deserve....the text books won't tell you who REALLY invented some of the things we take for granted everyday. Back in the day not too long ago black women could not enter the Miss America pageants did you know that sweetie, Tyra Banks was the first black model to be on the cover of GQ and the first black woman to sign a contract with Sports Illustrated magazine and the first black woman on the cover of the magazine's Swimsuit issue. Tyra is aprox 33 my age and this to me is great but at the same time sad that it took this long for these firsts. Maybe you should have sat down and talked with Tyra while you were on HER show and asked her how hard it was to be the first and what obstacles she had to endure and face being the first. Not only was it hard for her being the first but she has what society would say two negatives going for her she is a women and she is black. I am sure she could have given you in site on the extra struggles she had to face. Oh wow you dated a black guy! Goodie for you darling that means nothing. There are many young ladies that do so for the wrong reasons and not for love. Do your home work before you make public statements about something you have no clue or no real experience with.

13. THis girl is obviously ignorant and some of the commentors to her ridiculous statements are ignorant as well. If the comment from the person who believes that black people perpetuate the, "race card," is any indication. This erson has never been discriminated against due to being black so, the old adage rings true about walking in someone else's shoes. It's realy easy for white people to say that blacks should get over it however the injustices weve suffered weren't really that long ago, (40 years) and some continue to this day (Jena 6). If whites were in the positions of blacks, their tune would obviously be very different. Black History month serves the purpose of pride in the achievements of Blacks but most importantly, it serves to focus on those achievements which somehow get left out of contemporary history books in US schools across the country. If we all were truly equal then it wouldn't have taken an amendment to the constitution to recognize us as Human. Think about that .

14. What I think Adrienne was trying to get across about the Aliens invading earth I think she meant to say: The only thing that will allow us to drop our hatred and anger towards each other and realize how insignificant these differences are is when another life form from outside our galaxy comes to show us there is life out there. It will make us realize we are just an infintessimal part of the BIG PICTURE.

15. In the ancient -to-modern history of the world all the human race has been enslaved at some point in time. History proves that each individual has decended from a "slave" at some era. The Old World often saw one tribe enslave another. this includes ancient Roman Empire slaves in their African rule. All races and cultures have been slaves at a point in time because of desire for absolute power over those who are weaker. Tribal enslavery of others finds all races and cultures guilty of this at some juncture. and so goes the New World, the Third World, etc., etc. Thus ends our class!
