To be honest yeah now that I think about it. I just feel like race was irrelevant in this situation. As far as the crime thing. I gave you peer reviewed articles with credible statistics so until you actually read what I posted or come up with a logical argument to support the shit you say let's leave this alone because you're not interested in meaningful dialogue just criticizing black people as a whole.
I was shocked when I heard the news. It's always sad to hear of people passing, who you loved, admired or respected. RIP, Whitney!
whitney touched alot of people myself included...every tribute brings a tear to my eye as i take a trip down memory lane...robin roberts said it best this morning on good morning america...a mother lost a daughter and a daughter lost a mother...i don't have to be black to love whitney houston...she crossed racial lines and appealed to the masses... incase you haven't figured out ww here are more open to celebrating black women then bm are about even the mention of a wm...we take it in stride and consider feelings on every turn...i guess that makes us less threatened...
Agreed. It's pretty sad. R.I.P. I remember when her video for the song "You give good love" I had a big-time crush on her back then. I remember when I was in the Navy during the first Gulf war, she visited a ship and performed for them and I was kind of jealous.
Great back handed compliment. 1. If you don't have to be black to appreciate her then why bring it up at all. You rarely if ever hear anyone say Marcia Carey is my favorite biracial singer or Sammy Sosa is my favorite Latin baseball player. 2.There were really only two dudes on here who ever had a real problem with mentioning black women on here but to fair this is a site for ww and bm as you pointed out so why is it a subject of matter?
Paniro, was he responding to my post? Because last post I checked of his, he was putting me on IGNORE. I see he quoted me though...hmmmm.... Btw, the answer to your riddle is HELL NO, lol.
Thanks for speaking for me when I told him I would say yes. You were on ignore for a day. One disagreement a severed relationship make. Relax jesus.
TY Paniro ^^^ Oh sweet, well since you don't, I will address you directly. Why? Because she is a ALSO a NEWSMAKER. Just like you have discussed white men who have become subjects of stories- Bill Maher (and co-signed his misogynistic views on women - of course), George Carlin, Glen Beck, Bill Oreilly, and Rick Perry.
Notice how none of those men are considered a credit or disgrace to the white race. Their race never makes it into the conversation. You feel how you do so carry on. And since I've been repeatedly called out for name calling i'd appreciate if you'd stop calling me insane unless that's the type of dialogue you want us to have from now on.
What? What now is this delusion you bring up? I am name-calling you? Really? where...I can't find it. I had to go back pages to our exchanges from 2 days ago. Please go ahead and show me in the consecutive exchanges, where I "name-called you insane"..be sure to include your prior type of DIALOGUE you chose to have. I'll wait.
No, context does NOT escape me, which is why I'm surprised at your failure to see it in terms of my comment. I did NOT even refer to the "BM doing well" thread in Lippy's post, please go see what I highlighted - it pertained to racial matters being connected to everything here. Let's get one thing straight - I told you already, of course it's a loss to music in general. For you to pounce on my "great Black singers and Icons" verbiage and determine that because I simultaneously identified race while acknowledging their greatness, I somehow diminished their accomplishments...is gross distortion. Even after I explained myself, you proceeded to whip yourself into a "how daaare you" frenzy and proceeded to rudely attack me, calling it all sorts of offensiveness to Blacks and calling me "disindigenous, because I'm a White woman speaking" and "just because I sucked some Black dicks"..I mean really - I won't forget that DK, it was totally mentally basal and complete pond scummy rhetoric. ......... Now, when Teena Marie died..she was also positively racially eulogized here, referred to as a White singer by some men...In fact, one man even said "no other white person will ever fill Teena's shoes" She is also referred to as the "Ivory Queen of Soul". Throughout Adele's thread on her...the opinions are mostly about Black and White music artists, the history of B/W music, the racial concepts in music - ....over 140 posts discussing it, actually, Tell me, why does your sig say "My president is Black? Why did YOU start a thread called "White Chicks Who Can Sing"? Why not just say "Chicks" But I'm suddenly being "offensive"? Spare me, hypocrite.
With your narcissistic misogynistic, chauvinistic, anti-white agenda, I'm not surprised that you resent two White women acknowledging the powerful effect of seeing new Black beauty displayed on a White magazine cover. (Lippy and I are allowed to discuss it right, or is that stepping out of our Black dick sucking line?) It may not have served any purpose to your then 10 year old ass, but I'm positive it was meaningful to Whitney and her mom, her Aunts, etc. In the words of Whitney: - "People know who Whitney Houston is – I'm Black". She said this btw, because The Bodyguard Movie Execs surreptitiously hid her face in the posters to downplay the IR aspect. Here are some more things to offend you.... - When she made Waiting to Exhale, she said she chose the role because she "saw the film as a breakthrough for the image of Black women because it presents them both as professionals and as caring mothers". - She became the highest paid Black actress in Hollywood when she made The Preacher's Wife, earning $10 million. - The greatest selling Gospel album of all time... is hers. - She was nominated for 2 NAACP Image Awards and won for Outstanding Actress In A Motion Picture for T.P.W, which was an all Black-casted movie. - Her company which she intentionally re-named Brown House Productions ...primary goal was to "show aspects of the lives of African-Americans that have not been brought to the screen before while improving how African-Americans are portrayed in film and television." - She remade Cinderella using an all Black main cast. - She wanted to star as, and thus bought the rights to Dorothy Dandridge's story, who as we know was the first Black actress nominated for an Oscar. - Among other things, she was first ever Black female performer in heavy rotation on MTV with 'How will I know" despite having already had several hits prior. Thanks to Whitney' success, Janet was able to get exposure on their channel. But I'm sure you will be fitfully offended and see these accomplishments as me minimizing her work, rather than highlighting. lol. smh. Of course, lets not forget that you can say all the NEGATIVES you like about White people on this site, but let me say something positive about an artist and refer to their race..you're incensed!...You have some perverted nerve.
When I titled the thread white women who could sing it was a tribute to hot ww who could sing on whitewomenblackmen.com key term them being white. And you and Lippy can highlight how meaningful her accomplishments were to the black community all you want but it comes across as condescending since you yourself nor her on any level can possibly understands how it feels. Kind of like when soldiers who been to Iraq talk about what war you shut the fuck up if you haven't been through it too. Outside of thank you for their service most of those guys don't really like to hear your comments on how tough it is and what they over came. And as far as the dick sucking comment goes I stand by that too. There's something I notice a lot of ww haven't figured out. You may be with us but there are certain things you can't understand yet you pretend to and sometimes its annoying as fuck. How can you say what Whitney Houston meant to black people? But we obviously see differently so I'll maintain my opinions and you maintain yours. God bless and be well.
Anti white agenda huh? Guess I hate black people too since you and I disagree a lot. Wait.... you're not black my bad.
So now it's a "tribute' because YOU said it. #Exposed 101. What does her Whiteness have to do with it? Context please??! Or don't you understand what that means??! Are you serious? This is why reading is fundamental...we discussed together OUR meaningful reactions to her cover .. Or are we not allowed to have feelings because we are White. How rich! What is this poor soldier analogy about? #Detraction 101. I swear you create these illusions in your mind. In fact, to illustrate how stupid your analogy is, if you're THANKING a soldier for his service, what the fuck are you doing but acknowledging and praising his efforts as a SOLDIER <- key word. We do this based on what we see, what they tell us, what battles or obstacles they faced or faced and we pay them homage.....with parades, applause, donations care packages, mental therapy, the list is endless in our acknowledgments. Look at you suddenly speaking for soldiers with your "most of those guys don't really like to hear your comments on how tough it is and what they over came." Once again, because it's you SUDDENLY you know what they think, and it's perfectly "ok" that you do. Do you see even your warped sense of filtering? Don't try to dump your lousy miserable WW anger onto me - wrong chick because "balls to wall" as you succinctly stated, you have NOT even come close to figuring out where we WW stand with our Black men... judging by what you think of us. Finally, where pray-tell, ANYWHERE, did I say "what Whitney Houston meant to Black people"? You act as if I made up the comments quoted by her. So now put up or shut up!
