    Ok dummy if you insist.
    In the thread I titled white women who could sing it was highlighting hot ww who can sing much like the hot black men or hot white women threads.
    The whiteness had to do with the context of the forum as it pertained to the type of women we the bm find attractive much like many of the hot bm threads appeal to the men you find attractive.
    Mentioning whitney's race and the loss of black talent was irrelevant to the subject of the thread. I don't know how clear I can make it for you but you don't care about understanding anything so like I said we can agree to disagree.
    Btw I didn'taddress this earlier but I wanted to point out that I never participated in the Tina Marie thread so I didn't know that was said but whoever said that dumb shit is a fool too.
    I get a lot of us are attracted to certain phenotypes that's why we're here but certain things are just fricking ridiculous to discuss. There wont be another white women who can sing like her? Really?

    Kuno I'm done I honestly have nothing else to add this is going to be a pointless back and forth where all its gonna reduce to is continous name calling. So I'm tapping out. Good day to you.

    Bullshit....bottom line. Your white girl excuse is bogus. Your "relevancy" justification is no different than mine. You don't get an exception, you don't get a pass, you don't get to pick and choose here, ok? I know you have tried your DAMNDEST - and failed - to feign your delusional and misplaced outrage to make it seem like I was downplaying her talent when I WAS in fact PAYING her and other deceased iconic performers, who are Black, homage -period.

    And the Teena Marie male commentators here may be fools to (only) you, but I completely appreciate the spirit in which they delivered their sentiments - unlike you who sees no distinction between racism and Race.

    Listen to the recorded Interview below with Teena Marie before she passed, about the impact of her whiteness to the Black community, her classification by the Black community as blue-eyed-soul...and how she felt solely responsible in guarding Rick James's musical legacy because he's her brotha, her soulmate, how she's the closest living being on earth to him..Go figure the nerve of ..how do you like yo put it, DK?, that "clueless, dick-sucking WW who really needs to stfu". Take a fucking bow, DK ashaat.

    The fact you don't recognize the difference is on you not me buddy. And never once did I call it racism if you want to see it like that then that's on you. Racially insensitive sure but like I said you choose to think one way I'll think another. You remind of white people from the 50's and 60's who would say things like "you're a credit to your race" and who would honestly believe that was a compliment not seeing how it could be seen as otherwise.
    And I wasn't outraged when we started this dialogue it just made no sense to me why you felt the need to mention her race at all. Like I said earlier when anyone white dies there isn't this great loss to the white community. Is talent so rare amongst blacks that the loss hurts us more or is talent so abundant amongst whites the pain isn't felt as much? Not saying that was your intention when you said that but that's what jumped out at me at the beginning of this dialogue.
    And I said your comment came across as ignorant wasn't calling you ignorant but you proceeded to call me delusional and seek help and steered this into a nasty conversation. I may not always say things people like but I take responsibility for what I do. You might want to try it.

    Very moving funeral....especially the scene where the pallbearers were taking the casket out of the church....with the song "I will always love you" blaring in the background.....Today Whitney took America to church for 4 hours....... and today America said good-bye to Whitney.........

    It truly was beautiful...very moving, very spiritual.

    The eulogies were incredibly heartwarming. Special awe to Tyler Perry (that man can preach), Bishop T.D Jakes (just so moving, a tear-jerker)...Loved her bodyguard of 11 years 'Uncle Ray"'s stories...he surely knew her best...Patricia Houston and Dionne's were deeply heartfelt...[​IMG]

    The singing spiritual tributes both by BeBe and CeCe Winans were phenomenal. As was Kim Burell's..... and equally R.Kelly's. All brought the love and for sure Whitney watched over. What a send off!

    I'm sure YT will eventually fill with each remembrance and tribute song.

    In the meantime, this link has video of "The best of the funeral" (though I think it left out many)...*Note the 2min BeBe Winan's anecdote (half way down)...I burst out laughing, as did all - the story he recites of her is hilarious.

    That was a wonderful sendoff, and it also justifies the decision of the family to have the sendoff in her childhood Church instead of the Prudential Plaza. The service was intimate and private, and we the public were able to watch it live. It was therefore perfect for the family, friends and the public as well.

    The Black Baptist Church tradition for the celebration of life and final sendoff was an inspiring affair, and has exposed many of us who were not raised in this church to a great Church.

    Lastly in addition to all the speakers and singers, I think the sermon from Rev Marvin Winans was great and put everything in perspective. He explained what it is all about.

    Whitney didn’t take me to Church; I took my sorry blk ass to church. I did not waste my 4hrs watching her funeral. But I did see the highlight of Kevin Costner Eulogy, it was great.

    Whitney was a talented musician but sorry she caused her own demise. May she finally get eternal peace.

    Also NJ should not have lowered the flag, she is not a state dignitary.

    Entertainers have had it lowered for them before, too. Besides, it's the Governor's discretionary right to do so, under the Constitution. ;)

    True Whitney Houston deserved that honor of the flags being at half mast. I wonder what would Refugee's attitude had been if Bruce Springsteen died and the Gov ordered the flags at half staff? It would last more than a day.

    The Amazing Race television producer found dead on a hotel balcony in Uganda last week after taking contaminated cocaine..............

    Another important hotshot self-indulged to death, now snuffs the dust.

    They say the amount that was in his stomach it was indication of smuggling or forced ingestion.


    He said: 'If someone were to snort very large amounts of cocaine, there could have been some trace amounts from nasal drip into the stomach. But if the concentration was found in the stomach, that’s likely a result of smuggling or ingestion.'

    He was doing investigative reporting on something sensitive to the Uganda government. Sounds like he was "forced" to OD. Doesn't sound like over indulgence but something underhanded to me. :smt018 And they won't let the father of the other reporter take her for medical to another country. I guess they want to make sure she tells the right story when she wakes up.

    this is true. No one to blame for the death. Learn from the lesson.
