Amber Rose: Some of My Family Didn't Attend My Wedding B/C Wiz Was African-American

[Serious]

I don't really care about this. I just want to post on the first page. :RVD:

Her family isn't Creole though. She doesn't have Creole roots so that statement is a fabrication. So "colorism" can't explain why some of her family didn't attend.

I thought her mama was Cape Verdean and her daddy was Italian? Those Cape Verdean have some weird divisions when it comes to race, like you could be Wesley Snipes jet black but other Cape Verdeans would see you as 'white', and the stories about Cape Verdeans looking down on American black folk...

I hate to say it but from Jack Johnson to Kayne West black men have a history of turning non black hos into housewives. Kind of ironic given their #HOH persona. Well at least they hard on black hos. I think that's why they like Kim Kardashian so much. Every non black washed up hoodrat knows black men will be their safety net. Kim wasn't exactly washed up because she is from a wealthy family and has always taken to black men. since early on. she wasn't looking for a come up. She genuinely likes them.

Hmmm yeah well I agree with the first part.

"Black" is an american description though,it took me a while to understand why some people dont get it....sometimes its a situation,but sumtimes its just pride for they own culture....if you not considered black where you come from i could see the confusion...i dont know what they consider themselves in DR,but ive had the same confusing discuassion with a few of them,as well as africans who dont consider themselves black.

"black" is not just an Amerikkkan description. Where do you think people from amerikkka come from? The word black is derived from "negro" which is a Spanish and Portugese word. Culture has nothing to do with it. There are blacks from all different cultures. To think that all blacks share one culture is lunacy. Some black people just try to distance themselves from other black people and use culture/language to try do it. Don't give out passes.

She's a mulatto bottom line. Funk that creole, verdian shyt, which are also simply mulatto.

People who don't want to be nlack....fukk EM...As as community we need to make sure they don't benefit from us though. Let them see how it feels to be a minority of a minority.

They are divorced now

People like Amber, Alicia, Mariah, Halle etc should have never been considered Black in the first place.
Until African Americans adopt much much higher standards for what qualifies as Black, you'll always have mutts and impostors gaining wealth off the Backs of actual Black folks. Then run off and claim they are Creole once the millions have piled in..I dont even consider Beyonce Black to be honest. Her father is Black no doubt, but her mother is not so thats a start..Its so bad, half of you dont even know yourselves or where you fall. Imagine a Hispanic telling a Black man hes also Black, and the Black man cant argue against it because the lines have been so blurred anybody with curls hair can be Black..stop thinking with your dikks for a change.

So do you consider all DOminicans black? Its not giving out passes,its acknowledging my possible ignorance of their culture and their possible ignorance of mine. People identify themselves based on they ethnicity all over the world white and black...What I look like trying to force somebody to identify as black because we consider our race and ethnicity the same thing in america?....I aint givin passes I just don't like to assume,context is everything...are you a black Dominican,Ugandin,Nigerian who really knows im calling you black because you look like what we consider to look black in America,but decide to get outraged because you hate African Americans and look down on us? Long as they don't argue they are of African descent I don't see the issue.If we knew where the hell we was from we probably wouldn't consider ourselves black either when you think about it.

I think you learned a valuable lesson to be careful who you claim....it aint neccesarily your color they hate,they hate everything that they think you are as a black American...we all we got.

No, there are white Dominicans, black Dominicans, and mixed Dominicans. The point was that Dominican isn't a race, it's a place.

Well you look like an idiot saying the things above. Culture and ethnicity/race are different things. A brown skinned person of African descent can claim any culture that they want, doesn't stop them from being black. You don't have to force anybody to acknowledge the truth but don't let someone's denial stop you from speaking the truth. There are men out here insisting that they're women and vice versa. You don't HAVE to go along with people's bullshyt.

everything...are you a black Dominican,Ugandin,Nigerian who really knows im calling you black because you look like what we consider to look black in America,but decide to get outraged because you hate African Americans and look down on us?

^^^Incoherent babbling. "Black" in it's racial context is just a general inclusive term that describes brown skinned people of African descent.

If you read the quote you'll see she said her grandparents didn't raise their children to be proud of their (black) heritage so her mother probably got with a white man to please her parents, or because she was brainwashed to believe white is right.

People identify by nationality all over the world though and not by race....You think Germans don't call themselves German? "Black" is used to describe our race,culture,nationality all in one for a lot of us black americans so I can see where confusion would come from...But you'd rather just think you right than find out if its a misunderstanding with your African brothers and sisters...it don't take but a minute to find out if they on that or not..
