“White folks like “classy” black people better because they don’t have to take their race into account above a certain refinement level.”

Sorry NYSailorScout, I don’t understand what you mean. Would you mind explaining that more clearly?

Tiger Woods wouldn’t say that he was black? I didn’t know that.

White folks like “classy” black people better because they don’t have to take their race into account above a certain refinement level. It’s just easier.

NYSailor Scout, Tiger Woods couldn’t even say what race he was, when he is blacker than I am, you know that’s sad. Tiger and Oprah both have a BA, so what I’ve got one too.
And why do white folks love “classy black people” better than regular black people?

Disco bitch you’re right, they do see it is easier to manipulate a white woman after they get with her. Back women are used to striving, they’ll put a man down in a minute and go it alone.

Thanks Mr. T, you know the score. I remember hearing James Brown say that, I was so glad, because like I said most black celebrities try to be white.

Well, nothing wrong with giving money to charity, that’s what we all should do on this days. But, what i found repulsive it’s when they make it public, it’s like they need the world to know, like: “OK i’ll give you some of my money, but you’ll put my picture right in the middle of the bills” So hypocrite!

Wow- there are a lot of haters here. As much as you all may hate Oprah- she came from a very poor and worked her way up to where she is today, with no help from anyone. She pursued her own education and pursuits. She’s been doing this for over 25 years and she’s entitled to spend her money however she wants and that includes herself. You all are talking about how she should help people here- she was the first celebrity and possibly the one of the first organizations to help out Katrina victims- who else provided homes to those displaced. She started the Angel Network before she had she shows about her favorite things and giving away big gifts. Bottom line is that she is putting her money where she feels it will make the most impact- she knows exacttly how her money will be used- there is no public school admin red tape. What I find amazing is that she is one of the few celebrities that tries to make a difference with her wealth and she gets a bad wrap for it. Besides- what do you think those boarding schools are like for rich kids- they are probably just as lavish if not more and we all know those places with those extremely rich parents don’t give a damn about proverty and AIDS stricken kids in the US.

Country babe, I appreciate your comments. I have a black heart that’s for sure. God bless James Brown, now there is a role model for blacks if there ever was one!

You don’t need to insult Tiger Woods. Both him and Oprah are intelligent, well-educated and CLASSY. As if being upper-class makes them white or trying to be white. No, it makes them upper-class.

As if being poor or undereducated is some type of virtue. It isn’t. Virtue makes you work for your money and if you don’t have enough, make changes in your life.

This has nothing to do with race. There are upper and lower class people in ALL races. Enough said.

white men go with white girls as the easier to manipulate than black ‘headstrong’ girls. Also, sorry to say this, but some black girls are pure headache.

have you noticed that these white girlf friends are a certain type?

as much as some darker races desire to be fairer, so some caucasions desire to be more black.

I think Mr.T is right. I think she is one of those African Americans who doesn’t like herself. They cater whites and often marry them because they don’t like being black.(Tiger Woods etc.) I don’t think it’s becasue they see Africans as being pure because slavery. That’s the way Africans see us over here. I’ve have some relatives like this. I find it more so in the dark skinned blacks. I’m light skinned. Why you see a black man married to a white woman he is always dark. They want to lighten up their line. I’m an African American woman and I love being black. I’ve never been that way.
Mr. T are you black by the way?
