I don't see any difference at all except that she uses a lot of coarse language. Surely we can respect that as just a cultural and/or personal thing.

Would anybody object if Boortz or O'Reilly talked like this? Not likely. I saw an outtake of O'Reilly blowing up off camera about 20 years ago and nobody called him ghetto.

Que? How is using "coarse language" remotely a cultural thing? That's one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.

Personal? Yes. Cultural?

How many white people find Rudy Ray Moore,Red Fox the same?Besides anybody who cannot discern what they should filter out and takes everything what she says to the bank is mentally unable to think for themselves.Yes there are a lot of those around but as long as people are looking for someone to tell them what to think,there will always be someone around to do it.

????Um is there an echo in here? She makes fun of blacks to entertain blacks....I said that already. its black entertainment.

She comes across with that annoying, I know everything, my way or the highway, I can do or say anything I want, attitude. And if you dare say anything in disagreement with anything she says, it must be because you cant handle a "strong black woman."

Its all fun & games until someone gets their skull cracked open. People have family & friends that may not tolerate the bad mouthing of someone they good with, especially in the black community.

LOL...and why did I run all that together? To make a point...REAL strong black women don't carry themselves like the woman you mention, or like the poster child for mouth and attitude, ol' Nene Leakes...I have no idea who told some black women that being loud, rolling your neck, sucking your teeth, wagging your finger, and generally acting like home training is something you do to your dog, is the epitome of 'strong black womanhood'...they and the person who had the idea frankly need to shut it and keep stepping...

My mother, my grandma, and my mother in law, are all alike in that they did not take one ounce of crap from my daddy, my granddaddy, and my late father-in-law...but they had their men's backs 24/7, and woe betide anyone who f***ed with their families...they did this with a quiet strength and dignity, with love and respect, and they got the same love and respect in return from their men...I never saw or heard (at least on the Catfish side LOL) ANY of that so-called 'strong black woman' behavior that gives birth to all these modern day stereotypes...

I went a little long, sorry about that, but I just wanted to let it be known that if SHE'S a strong black woman, then we're all in trouble

Ha ha ha ha ha lol.....

Continue.

Its all in presentation & delivery. Some people do enjoy her coonery, as they have a right to do so. Calling the topic starter an Unlce Tom or sellout is too easy. Black does not equal ignorant. There are a couple black racist on this forum & on this thread. White people are really not the black mans problem anymore.....they havent been an issue for a while. Plenty of black people have an opinion but how they deliver & present their individual opinion determinds if they are normal or low class ghetto.

I agree with almost everything you said except the cultural part. The use of bad language is never a cultural thing, but rather a personal choice! I know many African-Americans that do not use bad language at all!

I don't think arjay meant culture from a racial standpoint as so much as he meant culture from shared norms, values, behavior etc. Example: Hip-Hop culture is not exclusive to african americans, just like this woman's apparent behavior, whether for show or not, is not exclusive to people of her same race.
