I said Tyra Banks, not black people in general.

To the last few posts - reading comprehension: it's a beautiful thing.

I bet you guys think Don Imus is racist as well, despite the fact that he helped out BLACK kids with cancer. Whatever the media feeds into you it seems like you all eat it up.

I have no opinion on whether Don Imus is a racist. Racism is a powerful word. However, I do think he made an ignorant, redneck, and racial comment toward a bunch of very talented women. You should be smart about what you say when you are in a powerful position. He got what he deserved. He may have helped black kids with cancer, but then turned around and called black women nappy headed hoes. So what is your point?

He was labeled as a racist when he clearly is not. And who cares about what he said? You should be responsible, but ignorant statements like that are sputed all the time. Rhandy Rhodes called Hilary Clinton a '*****' and she has not received similar hate.

Isn't it funny how you used the word "redneck", which is an ignorant and racial word in itself? For someone on here who claimed to be done with this thread you seem to really enjoy it.

Haha. I said it because I knew I would get a predictable response from you.

Have a great day!

Great way to cover up a slip-up.

She's not Oprah and never will be. She lacks depth. So turn the channel and watch something you really enjoy.
