WTF does my girl Fannie have on? I know she tore it up at the award show.

Looks like Kobe and his family had a great time.

Kareeeeeeeeeeeem!

Fantasia looked like she stole someone’s curtains and turned it into a dress. She can never get it right.

I still wasn’t going to that whack ass Parade regardless of who was there.I hate Tasia’s dress.Umm why the fuck are those children dressed in all white at an amusement park like they getting baptised or something!SMH

I watched Tay-Tay, cried and went to sleep. She did a nice job.

Somebody slapped a relaxer in her head so damn good, I wonder how she gone ever get that off her scalp.

I like Eve’s hair, she’s rockin it.

Kobe’s family was dressed LIKE THAT to go to DisneyLand.

I guess it was some kind of promo special or some shit. Who goes to DisneyLand “dressed up”. Its too much shit to get into!!!!!!!!!!!

Random.

Fantasia looks beautiful. She is really blowing up and doing her thing. I thought that her dress was appropriate. I am sure she fit in with all the other hags at the Tony Awards.

Coby and his family looks happy. They look like they are going to church rather than Disney. Whatever makes them happy.

eve stay looking like she smelling somthing stankin’.

love love love ‘tasia, hate hate hate the dress. it doesn’t suit her.

kobe wife walkin’ around disneyland in heels?

Co sign with Melisus

Why is EVE looking so mean like she wasn’t enjoying herself?

Fantasia…love ya girl, but that dress…

GIRL i AM CO-SIGNING!!! LOL
WHY THEM PRETTY BABIES GOT ON WHITE AND HIS WIFE IN HEELS!

BEAUTIFUL BABIES BUT YA’LL AT DISNEY LET THEM HAVE FUN! AND GIRL PUT ON SOME NIKE SHOX AND HAVE F-U-N!!!!

Eve looks stupid with that blonde wig. I’m sorry I just don’t like that look on her. She’s like Halle, looking better with short hair I guess.

Not feeling Fantasia’s hair or dress but she is still my girl. Kobe has a cute family but they are a bit over dressed for a theme park maybe the photo was for publicity purposes only.

I like Fantasia’s dress.

You know Fab was gonna be at the Puerto Rican Day parade…lol

No comment on Kobe and his crew.

Awww, Kobe & Vanessa’s girls are too cute. I like the dresses on them…the look like little princesses! And Mrs. Vanessa looks preggers again in that dress.

Do ya’ll even bother to read the comments. No need to post over and over the same thing someone else just said, PLEASE! Anyway, everyone looks nice and I wish I can afford to go to DisneyLand, shit!!

LOL - Kimora and HUSTLE Simmons daughters will dance fairy tinkerbell dust around Kobes and Vanessa’s daughters in dressing up like some princesses’.

Kimora keeps them in frills just to get potty trained. LOL

I looooooove Fantasia!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know she tore it up!!!!

AA celbs really go out of their way to support Puerto Rican Day Parade. I think this promotes unity within the community.

Can anyone tell me if thier is an African Day or African American Day Parade in NYC or other cities?

Eve looks fab.
F A B O does not.

kind.

Fab look retarded as hell to me. I don’t see the cute features everyone else does. Eve’s hair is cute, even though she got a smush face. Like it’s an invisible hand just mushing her face. Leave Fantasia alone, she is the true epitame of young single black sisters/mothers on the rise. I look up to her.

Eve has really upgraded herself

When will Oprah step in and tell Fantasia ” You are a reflection of me and I refuse to let you leave the house in that get up”.

Eve is sexy as usual.

Fantasia looks beautiful.

And whatevea for the rest

TASIA IS JUST NOT CUTE TO ME AT ALL..SHE CAN SING THOUGH…LOL@ EVE LIPS, SHE LOOKS CUTE, AND I THINK KOBE AND HIS FAMILY ARE BEAUTIFUL….

I LOOOOOOOOOVE EVE’S HAIR!!

TASIA UMM NO

Fantasia finally had all of those horrible branded marks covered up and she looked like a lady and by the way she sounded awesome and she even had a few tears in her eyes …… I am proud of her

I wonder if we ever see JLo supporting anything in the African American community…I don’t think I have. I wonder if it has gotten so bad for Eve and Fab they need to “cater” to others…not being a hater jsut calling it like I see. Especially after Fab has not one sister that resembles himself in the video for make me better.

The Bryant family is really overdressed 4 Dineyland lol Kobe and Vanessa look like they are about to hit the club and the kids look like they are ready 4 easter…next year

excuse me Disney^

aww Kobe and the fam

Angel, I really think we should change the picture from Kobe and Family to Kobe, Family and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I know the youngins don’t know who he is but we need to give respect where respect is due. Just my 2 cents.

I loved loved Tasia’s performance on the Tony’s, her hair, gown and make-up were so on point..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0-NlqvB3sY

I agree, The Bryant family are a little overdressed but they’re so cute nonetheless. Cute little family. Why, fanny, why?? I’m sure she blew the house away though.

ISNT THAT KAREEM ABDUL JABAR?

the basketball legend?

nice to see him.

Fantasia tore that shit up! I love her dress, it’s beautiful and elegant.

Tasia looks sexy and classy. Give her a break she performed at the Tony’s not the Soul Train Awards. She still paid though.

#29- TT,

I noticed him too

when i first clicked the pic, i thought it was Kobe’s dad bc i heard he played b ball too but upon closer observation, i noticed that it’s Jabar.

he was a center for the Lakers and they won the championship w Magic Johnson a loooooooooong time ago.

My aunt was a HUGE Lakers fan, so i remember.

LOL..true…a lil dressy for Disneyland, but family man my ass!

Hold on ain’t fabolous half black and half dominican? How come we don’t see you at our parade partner? Wtf is eve doing at this parade anyway..ain’t she now classified as “conceited” which is now an entire ethnic group on its own.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Fantasia, I’m one of your biggest supporters and you killed it @ “Tony’s”

And “When I See You” is my ballad for Summer ‘07

TASIA TORE IT UP BUT THAT DRESS IS TO MUCH IT DOESN’T DO ANYTHIN FOR HER

EVE LOOKS NICE

^^^^ ANYTHING

Kobe’s family was at Disney for a movie premire. That new penguin movie. That’s why they are dressed like that.

Fabolous and Eve are not Puerto Rican…So why the fuck they representing for…

I’am not from New York or anything I live in Texas so can someone please explain to me why black people go to the puerto Rican day parade?

wait wait wait…last i checked fab’s tooth was fixed, i mean the chip is sexy and all, but i coulda sworn……..

@43….because Ricans frm NY are just as black as we are, if not black-er…lol Plus u know ray ray from the block is going to tryn holla @ some mami’s.

Honestly, who where’s heels to an amusement park and dress their kids in all white easter dresses to get on dirty rides? I am pretty sure they were just there to take a picture with MIckey and bounce…at least I hope.

@38…uh willpower, can i get ur #? damn, lol

Who cares what Fantasia looked like her job is to sing and I know she tore the house down. Go Fantasia!

@ MARIE2, there are black puerto ricans.

Fabolous’ family is dominican so I guess he was raised to be proud of his cultural heritage and he’s showing support to another latin culture. Eve, I think she’s just tryna promote her album.

@#42 Yes I was waiting for someone to comment on that. Why are they there makes no sense lol

ALL I can say is that when african american people have there parade we are not notice.. but!!! 4 some damnnnn reason Black people no how to find there damnn way to a latin parades Damnnn Shame

i can git wiff fannies hair but the wig eve is wearing is killing me do a cloes up and see them naps on her head wtf why wear a blond wigg wiff the wind blowing she should be ashame of herself looks like she said “oh there it goes” and pick it up off the dam floor how tacky is that. lolololololol kobe = NEXT. fannie wearing a dust mop making money lolo

43.

Yea girl…African Americans up there get along with their hispanics…lol

You know Black folks down here in Texas ain’t bout to be at no Mexican Pride Parade. We can’t stand them.

And the African Americans that are there are trying to promote to get that good old Latino dollar.

LOL @ 51, Awww, Kobe’s family is so cute!

I would personally be at the ‘rican parade to…I don’t know…get me a ‘rican!

Fantasia to’ (and yes, I said to’ as in tore) that sh*t up! She literally gave me chills and had me teary-eyed! I love this gull ( and yes that’s gull, as in girl!

Fab is not Puerto Rican, he is Dominican…but who cares. I love the Puerto Rican parade anyway.

There are West Indian parades. In VA, they had an AFRAM fests (African American Fest).

{SIRENS AND LIGHTS FLASHING}

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN I HAVE DETECTED A REPETITIOUS HATER!!!!

MELISUS ….. BABY GIRL YOU ARE STINKING UP THE LOOP WITH ALL YOUR HATING ASS COMMENTS. SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING HORRIBLE TO SAY ABOUT DAMN NEAR EVERYBODY AND YOUR HABIT IS CONSISTENT TOO. PLEASE TAKE YOUR GREEN ASS HOME BEFORE YOU START INFECTING THE REST OF US WITH THAT DISEASE. EVERY POST YOU HAVE BEEN ON YOU HAVE SAID MORE THAN A MOUTH FULL….BITCH GO HOME!

Eve looks good I dont care what nobody says.
And if I was married to a pro basketball player I would be looking fabulous every where I went too. The family was fresh and clean looking like they were on the way to take Walmart photos.

The truth is coming at cha’. Here goes, everyone looks
nice. Eve looks great her new hairstyle is off the chain. Fab is sexy as hell. J-lo looks nice. Kobe and his family look nice. Fantasia can sing, but Fantasia
is not a pretty woman, she looks like a man in a dress. The flat hairstyle is not working with her face, you have to be very pretty to wear short hair,and she is not attractive. She needs a new stylist and she could stand to lose a few pounds.I don’t lie she can sing, however if she were not discovered by American Idol I’m afraid she would just be another hoodrat on the block. She has this hoodrat quality about her.Thank God, he blessed her with a voice because she would just be another hoodrat, now she’s a hoodrat with a record deal.

Fantasia did a sterling job, that performance was awesome.

Oprah and Gayle were here last week for the opening of The Lion King the African version….well, this is where it began anyway.

I just noticed that was my honey in the 3rd pic. He’s looking very handsome.

Glad to see Vanessa smiling, but her kids are..how shall i say it, suspect maybe??

I’m kidding, just kidding. They take after their mother

i was there..eve looked so pretty.
jaslene was on a float too. homegirl needs to eat.

Yall crazy Fantasia look classy in that dress it fit for engagement. Elagant …what yall want her in at the Tony awards? Defly a good look for Tasia.

I meant to make it to the PR parade this year damn…

Kobe..punk but good thats wassup he’s doing the family thing.

Who wears heals to Disneyland ?!?!?!

I didn’t go to the parade because living in BUSHWICK BROOKLYN, was just like being there! I was sitting at home in my crib, all of a sudden I hear whistles blowing, & the Puerto Rican folks screaming & cheering,car horns honking,music blasting from vehicles, people walking in the street, red white & blue flags, & bandanas on strollers…my daughter was like “MA LOOK OUTSIDE THE WINDOW!”

LOL!

that parade dont look that exciting

KOBE & FAMILY: I am looking for her travel bag with her flats in it & beach towels! & the kids sneakers & short sets!

NOPE! no bag with change of clothes. LOL! Good for her if she can travel around DISNEY WORLD in the hot assed sunshine in those stilettos like that!

Puerto Rican DAY PARADE is always a good time!!!! I highly suggest everyone go once in their life. The Bryant family… What can I say?!?!? Pobre chicas, I feel so bad for those little girls. You just know Kobe & Vanessa fight all the time. Everybody knows Vanessa runs that house! I got beef with Vanessa outfit choice at Disney Land. How are you jiggy at Disney Land with your kids?!?!? It’s a family trip boo, not a red carpet event!

I agree to a point with most of you. A lot of celeb. blacks do attend puerto rican parades as if they were one. However, if you’ve ever attended an African american parade in Harlem NY, you won’t find these celebs anywhere in sight and the parade itself is extremely pathetic. From the yellow school buses with african american pride banisters, to the local churches rolling down the street in cars-hoods down-painted cardboard boxes on the dashboards- stating the church their from. I consider myself black ( though I’m mixed) so I go to both and represent hard. You don’t need to be boricua to represent. Blacks and Hispanics grow-up together in NYC,like cousins…and get on each others nerves like cousins too. So its cool to show support for each other. I just think a lot of these black celebs need to represent their own, before they support others.

That’s just like a mexican to overdress their kids (j/k- My mexican friends are going to kill me!). They are way over dressed for Disneyland… they look like they are dressed for Easter in the Hamptons.

What Fantasia is wearing for the ghetto folks here who don’t know, is something called an “Evening Gown”. An Even gown is a woman’s formal dress, usually having a floor-length skirt.

don’t hate because she showed up, show out in a formal dress. That dress is amazing, very formal so the ghetto people here likely cannot relate. but like someone else said, she was performing at the Tony’s, not the Soul Train Awards, and you need a fancy evening gown for this type of event. I think the dress she chose is great for her figure, not tight and clingy that would not have worked for her. Bravo, the best I’ve seen her look in awhile.

I am thoroughly convinced now this is ahte site for Fantasia, this girl the developer of this site uses it to bash Fantasia.
She was dressed appropriately for the Tony Awards. Now she wasn’t on Crenshaw and she wasn’t performing in compton at one of your local clubs performing where hoood rats as you say should be performing, none of you have been to the play and most of yu have not purchased any opf her music in a store. Fantasia should forget about color and stay focus on the fan base she has no matter what package thye come in, but it’s obvious that Angel is not one of her supporters, it’s obvious you prefer JHud and Beyonce, asking you to leave Fantasia alone is something i know you will never do, because you are toooo small minded for that!!!
I guess all of the women in your families are the bomb and are accomplishing great things so why not call Fantasis names and everything they wear is off the chain, does anyone of you know who designed her dress, I believe oprah dose. It was the Tony’s and she looked simply ravishing you go Fantasia, don’t let the haters make you quit!!!!!
Angel, you should be very, very proud of yourself, for with this as your profession it sure shows much more class than Fantasia, you go with your smart self to make a living with other folk bashing people. You are the black (hoodrat) TMZ of California and somebody referred to Fantasia as a hoodrat, the last time I checked compton out…whew, I never want to live there, talking about hoodrats……

JLO & Eve LOOK GREAT! Eve Has Come A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG Way!

Brilliant performance. Fantasia is definitely talented and I love the direction that her career is going.

She was at the Tony Awards not the Soul Train Awards, okay or at your neighborhood club in Compton(where many of you haters especially the one who called her hoodrat, would love to see her perform) like the lady said you haters are not her fan base and never will be and she should forget about trying to please you in anyway, she should keep working (keep her humble and sweet spirit) as well as integrity which is hard to find in these young mega stars today, and their public knows everything about everything, and to the one who said she had on curtains, you would love to have those curtains in your closet to take to the pawn shop!!!
Forget you. I think she looked absolutely gorgeous, if she wore something short you would talk about that.
Angel I am personally asking you to leave Fantasia alone you are not one of her fans, just leave her alone because we do love her black and white America. (I am white upper-middle class and I actually love her style of music, it’; different not like everyone else and she is real!!!)
Would you please leave her alone, I don’t belive you have gone to see her perform because you don’t want to buy tickets and you don’t like her well enough to pay your plane fare, and if you didn’t watch her performance, why post this for her to be ridiculed, her publicist should know about you, I am going to see what I can do!!!
If you can not help her in her desire to be successful then leave her alone!!!! Please!!!!

@39 girl I luv that avatar!!!!!!! LLOLOLOLLO

#7 So what if Vanessa walks around Disney in heels? Beyonce wear heels every dayum place she goes, including basketball games. If she wants to dress her girls in white summer dresses, so be it, they’re her dayum kids. Kids r absolutely adorable and some black peeps simple as shyt, if they don’t like the adult, they have nothing positive to say about the kids. Most of ya wish ur kids had hair like that, hell most of u wish ur complexion was like that, the way u always downing darker complexion sistas, yet u luv Reggie and he black as shyt, smh. Everyone looks nice……………..

#75 I know Angel isn’t trying to say shyt bout Fantasia with her oogley azz, Fantasia make her look like rat turd……..lmao, do ur thang Fanny, u look great.

JUNETEENTH weekend is this weekend. Look it up if you don’t know what Juneteenth is.

im from ny..and personally the p.r parade i wack ..to me it’s so generic..now the best parade in nyc is by far is the west indian day parade on labor day..

with that said ..eve why are you there you dont even look like you want to be there ..
fab i love you but are you serious where the hell is your dominican flag( i am not even domincan and im offended)

kobe and family ..who cares

fantasia damn what a performance

Kobe and his family look hella ghetto. Reminds me of Hispanic people that get all dressed up to go to k-mart.

FANTASIA WAS GREAT! AND I SAYING THAT SHE NOT ONLY LOOKED GOOD SANG GREAT AND THE PERFORMANCE WAS SO SPECIAL INDEED! BROADWAY WAS MADE FOR HER! HELL A STAGE AND MIC WAS MADE FOR HER!

P.S. THE PERFORMANCE AND MORE PICS R @
http://www.fan-tasia.net

GET ALL THE LATEST ON TASIA THERE!

everybody looks nice

as for fantasia she tore up the stage,but you haters get of that ladys dick youguys critizes her on everthing that she wears that is too sluttyor that is too hoodish

if you all think you can do better become a styles then critizes

kobe n family’s pic look like a publicity stunt to me, they r wayy too overdressed…lol..kobe a family man? fuck outta here

I know Fab was like a faggot in Boys town at that parade cause yall know he loooves his latinas (and any race of women besides his own)!

WTF Fanny! I’m a big Fantasia fan but who the hell is her stylist!?!

Kobe’s family looks nice…Say what you want about Vanessa but she keeps it tight! (and he still cheated, us women can never win) Damn Kareem Abdul is mad tall! He is aging well though! The babies are cute too didn’t realize they had 2!

It’s nice to see Kareem! Lord he needs to come out of retirement, and held those damn Cavaliers before they get swept. LOL

Dont get me wrong, Fantasia sounded AMAZING last night (the girl can sing)! But i’m sorry, she looks like a dust mop in that gown (itz all wrong) lol!! Some of yall can say what u want, but she needs to realize that she is a star now, and she will not only be judged on her talent alone, her personal appearance will also be judged! So with that being said, that dust mop feathery gown and that terrible slick back hairstyle has got 2 go!! She has more money than you and I combined, so their is no reason for her to look like this. It proves u can still look a mess in a formal gown!

Some of you are too funny! The comment about the relaxer that was left too long in Tasia’s hair. That shit do look like it hurt though.

Eve looks hot as usual

FANTASIA, FANTASIA, FANTASIA, she TORE up the awards last nite. She was perfect as usual and I wish that I could see her in the color purple because I know I would have to bring my Kleenex. I’m probably the only person that LOVES her dress because it’s dramatic and it demands attention and it’s attention that she deserves!

kobe;s fam looks nice, except all them flowers in the lil girls head, but they are so cute, sure they had fun

Fantasia is wack and ugly, who cares about the bryants and honestly if your not puerto rican or have a puerto rican girlfriend/boyfriend, you are of course going to say the PR parade is wack and corny, meanwhile its the most highly televised parade and celebs who are not even puerto rican show up cuz they know the deal…all the blacks of course are going to say the west indian parade is the illest and to the idiot who made the comment about the PR parade floats are boxes and old cars, thats funny because im pretty sure the city gives the most money to have this parade done beautifully, last time i checked the west indian parade was broke down as fuck and all the broke ass dumb ppl in flatbush rent U-Haul trucks and stand in the back with a boombox and call it a float…Stop being haters because puerto ricans and blacks are the same in NY, but of course you wouldn’t think so….and no im not racist my wife is trinidadian, but i gotta call it like i see it…peace

Fantasia was just beautiful, and she made me and my
family,friends proud and talking about true natural
black woman she is. There is nothing fake about her
no she isn’t light skinned and wear fake blonde hair
down her back, after watching her last night said alot
she doesn’t have to show her body and bleach her skin
and sing about a umbrella or to the left, she is bless
to sing with knowledge at a young age. I sorry folks
call her names talk about her looks, but you better watch out because she is bless by God and what he has for her no man can stop. I as a light skinned woman congrat. Fantasia and send out my blessing to her. Because she is the princess of Soul.

I’ve always been a bit confused why so many black Americans and other non-PR’s attend the PR day parade all the time. Besides Eve and others being there it just seems really wrong for Fab whose part Dominican to be draped in the PR flag. -_-

#80 SEEM LIKE YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH BLACK WOMEN

pUERTO RICANS HAVE BLK ANCESTORY PEOPLE, SO ITS OKAY

kOBE AND FAM “YAWN”

fANNY- bEAUTIFUL WOMEN STRONG VOICE LOVELY SISTA

*BEAUTIFUL WOMAN* I MEANT

Fantasia’s dress my not look great in pics or on the red carpet but for the televised performance that damn dress was stunning. The way they had all the lights out and just a floor spotlight following her as she walked to the mic was just visually beautiful. She was the best part of them boring ass Tony Awards.

It goes without saying that she tore the stage in half once she started singing.

f&*$@#$!@$# at #43,#53

yall sum hatin azz hoez. ok, im my eyez it doesnt matter wut race you are, there iz NOTHING WRONG with attending events that are for other races than our own. and if u seem 2 have a problem wit dat, dats very, childish, and ignorant. we are in a new time and we should support eachother, but u still got dumb a%$#&^ ppl who cant accept that. so to #43&53, yall need to stop being racist because if it was white ppl gettin mad at blk ppl for attending their parade, yall would be pissed off 2!! THINK BOUT WUT U SAY B4 U OPEN YO BIG MOUTH.

lol at# 61, smh at taking walmart pics

AND 2 DAT LIL COMMENT YOU MADE BOUT MEXICANS N TEXAS, I LIVE IN DALLAS AND I HAVE NOT MEET 1 BLK PERSON WHO DIDNT LIKE HISPANIC PPL. I CANT STAND PPL LIKE DAT, YALL HOEZ NEED 2 BE BI%#$#$CH SLAPED!!

@ #95, why is it that everytime something is said about the way a brown or dark-skinned woman looks, it always reflects on light-skinned women. I’m so sick of dat shyt, i’m light-skinned, and if i was to wear that dress and hairstyle i would look a mess too. Everytime something is said about a dark-skinned woman that is not “good”, their always has to be something said like “if she was light-skinned they wouldn’t be sayin that”. I get tired of dat shyt. That gown and hairstyle dat Fantasia is rockin is A MESS no matter what complexion you are (dark, brown,light,green,red, or blue) it dont matter. She sounded GREAT but looked a DAMN MESS in that dust mop gown!!!!!!!!!

I saw Fantasia on the Tony’s last night and she looked and sounded amazing. I don’t care what people say she is a force to be reckoned with. God is truly, truly blessing her and last night in my opinion took her to another level. The dress was beautiful, she looked lovely and her voice was on point. Fantasia you are beautiful and you looked stunning.

This is my last post here. The negativity and rude remarks on this site pierces my soul and saddens me. Black folks are so catty, rude and ignorant. I’m totally disgusted that people can be so mean. Just don’t say anything. She has a daughter, mother, brothers and other family members that read this shit. Come on. Can you all ever just support your own and leave the nasty rude comments out. Probably not. How disgusting and shameful.

Read your history books there were more African Slaves deported to the Caribbean and Latin America than in the United States. Most Puerto Ricans and other Latinos have African heritage and some are purely African.Have you ever heard of Loiza,Puerto Rico, or the Choco Region of Columbia ,South America,where many Blacks are being displaced, the Blacks in Cuba, the Garfunas in Central America, Do you know that Brazil is only second to Nigeria, Africa in the population of blacks. Have you ever heard of the Afro-Latinos. There are white Latinos, black Latinos, and mulatto(biracial)Latinos, just as it is Black, white, and biracial in America. Darker skinned Latinos face worst prejudice than African-Americans because they are rejected by both sides-African-Americans and White-Skinned Latinos. They are separated from African-Americans because of culture and language differences, and white-skinned Latinos because they are darker- skinned(Moreno).African-Americans and Darker Skinned Latinos are off the same tree. DO YOU THINK THAT ROSIE PEREZ GET HER KINKY HAIR FROM SPAIN; DO YOU THINK THE RICAN WOMEN GET THEIR HIPS FROM SPAIN NO! IT IS AFRICA. THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE DARKER SKINNED LATINOS, KEEP IN MIND THAT IT IS NOT THE SUN THAT HAS THEM DARK. READ ABOUT THE PUERTO RICAN RAPPER TEGO CALEDERON, HE DISCUSES THE ISSUES ABOUT DARKER-SKINNED LATINOS. Black and Brown Power. The Afro-Latino movement is underway.

Yea girl…African Americans up there get along with their hispanics…lol

You know Black folks down here in Texas ain’t bout to be at no Mexican Pride Parade. We can’t stand them.

MEGAN SUPPORTS THE BLACK AND BROWN CONFLICT-WHAT A SHAME.

Denise Said: Puerto Ricans are from the Caribbean they have nothing in common with Mexicans, but the language! Damn, I get so pissed off when most of us Black folks, are so closed minded about race.

I am an African-American woman who is a huge supporter of the Afro-Latino Movement. Most Blacks act like we are the only ones who were slaves, slavery was more brutal in the Caribbean and Latin-America. Read people read history books. It is mostly blacks that have beef with Africans in Africa and Most Africans have issues with us. Africans don’t have any issues with any other blacks but the ones here in America,because a lot of us have close minded views regarding race and we are quick to pull out the race card.

ummmm WOW u women obviously DON’T watch basketball. Kareem Abdul Jabar is the ALL TIME LEADING SCORER in the NBA. A record even MJ couldn’t break. He won 5 championships with the Lakers. Magic was a rookie in their first Laker championship. Dude was big time, he was in Bruce Lee movies before he died and everything.

The title should be changed.

Damn I guess rappers can’t win with Black women? First u criticize them for not having sistas that look like him, then u criticize the rappers and the videos for objectifying and demeaning Black women. Which one is it? Do you not like the videos and the objectification or do u want Black women represented?

I bet u were mad that Samuel Jackson had that white woman chained up in that movie “Black Snake Moan”. You probably wanted him to chain a sista LOL.

The Tony Awards suck…but I had to see my girl so I kept flippin’ back and forth. She sang the hell out of that song….and she cries EVERY time. Did everyone see her get ugly with it at the end. Whole lot of feathers at the end of that dress though.

@ #95, why is it that everytime something is said about the way a brown or dark-skinned woman looks, it always reflects on light-skinned women. I’m so sick of dat shyt, i’m light-skinned, and if i was to wear that dress and hairstyle i would look a mess too. Everytime something is said about a dark-skinned woman that is not “good”, their always has to be something said like “if she was light-skinned they wouldn’t be sayin that”. I get tired of dat shyt. That gown and hairstyle dat Fantasia is rockin is A MESS no matter what complexion you are (dark, brown,light,green,red, or blue) it dont matter. She sounded GREAT but looked a DAMN MESS in that dust mop gown!!!!!!!!!
——————————————————

I cosign! Fantasia = MUDDUCK
Lightskin or not she still fugly…and can’t read

I saw Fantasia on the Tony’s last night and she looked and sounded amazing. I don’t care what people say she is a force to be reckoned with. God is truly, truly blessing her and last night in my opinion took her to another level. The dress was beautiful, she looked lovely and her voice was on point. Fantasia you are beautiful and you looked stunning.

____________________________________________________
Right on and there is no stopping her now!

the only thing I thought of when I saw Kobe & crew was that part on Pimp Chronicles pt. 1 when Katt Williams was talking about spanish people dressing up they 7 year old daughters in wedding dresses and tennis shoes to go to the laundry mat. “Where is she going..is she marrying bleach?”

Damn I guess rappers can’t win with Black women? First u criticize them for not having sistas that look like him, then u criticize the rappers and the videos for objectifying and demeaning Black women. Which one is it?

LMMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

that was funny.

i think they do that bc all they casual clothes are dirty around laundry time

TOO FUNNY BC IT’S TRUE

I see u Bama Chick.

WORKIN HARD!!!

get em’ girl:)

JAZZY X FRESH,

your screen name is nice throwback

mix bt of Jazzy Jeff, Mia X, and Fresh Prince

i bet you probably from the old school

you know Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith doing a reunion, dont you?

@Denise, a huge GRACIAS to you! I’m an Afro-Latina(Puerto Rican mother, Black father) and I wasn’t going to say anything because I don’t feel like arguing with people who obviously don’t know history. You took people to school on that one! Are you a teacher? You sound like you are one or should be one. Thank you again for that wonderful history lesson but let me add this. For the people wondering why non-Puerto Ricans attend the parade it’s because here in NYC there is a certain amount of unity amongst certain cultures, especially living clumped up next to each other. It’s not perfect, there’s still prejudice but we do coexist. Just like when the West Indian Day Parade comes around you would see Puerto Ricans and Dominicans there as well. If you want to open your mind and learn about Puerto Rican History then look for and watch the documentary titled “Yo Soy Boricua, Pa’Que Tu Lo Sepas” (I am Puerto Rican, Just So You Know) by Rosie Perez and it explains the history of the Taino indians to Spains occupancy, slavery and genocide all the way to the first Puerto Ricans in New York City and the establishment of the Civil Rights activist group, the Young Bloods.

@Dre, Calm down papi chu. Let out a big “Wepaa!” for me and let the frustration go. Can’t get through to people with aggression even though I know how you feel. Just break it down and let em’ know.

#72 Black americans have themselves to blame. There is no unity in their race, they are loud, ghetto, and ignorant. What do you expect?, of course the african american day parade is a joke, in fact it’s a disgrace. Can you blame the celebrities for not showing up? Black people come from other countries and make something of themselves while black americans STAY on welfare for years and bring ech other down, just like this forum. The puerto ricans show how it should be done, this parade is REAL unity!

SMH @ some of these comments.

1. @ Megan:
I’m from Texas too and I can assure you that not everyone down here hates Hispanics. Maybe YOU do, but don’t include the entire state in your feelings towards them. How can we as African-Americans complain about racism and not being treated fairly, when we make stupid comments like this? Seriously it’s like the saying, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. I can understand if you DISLIKE the situation of Hispanics jumping the fence and entering our state illegally, but that really isn’t a reason to HATE them. If you’re going to hate anything it should be the immigration laws and the fact that literally nothing is being done to enforce them. Now that is something to hate.

2. Back on topic, Fantasia brought the house down with her performance! I always get choked up when she sings because you can tell she’s singing from her heart; she gets so deep with it. She sung on Oprah one day and I was literally sobbing (right along with everyone else on tv) when she finished. She’s truly talented and it doesn’t matter what brainless comments like, “she can’t read” ,are out there. The woman can sing.

3. Kobe’s family is beautiful.

#62 GREEN LEA SAID THIS ABOUT FANNY:

Thank God, he blessed her with a voice because she would just be another hoodrat, now she’s a hoodrat with a record deal.
——————————————————————————–

You dont even realize that you’re implying that no matter how talented, successful, and charming Fantasia is, she will only be a hoodrat because, ACCORDING TO YOU, she’s unattractive.

only in black america

there are plenty of white women who dont look like Angelina Jolie or Sophia Lauren.

take for ex: Reece Witherspoon or Hillary Swank

but you dont hear white folks blatantly going out of their way to disrespect them by calling them ugly.

YOU’S A FIELD SLAVE, BOO BOO

that’s what you REALLY feel about yourself

you green aiight

GREEN WITH ENVY

YOU COULDNT WASH FANTASIA’S DIRTY DRAWERS !!!!

YOU WISH YOU HAD TALENT TO GET YOU ALL THE WAY TO THE TONY’S AND WHAT NOT.

FANTASIA IS GOLDEN AND SHE WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY JUST LIKE THE OTHERS

this black female self hatred is killer

sisters gotta work it out

it seems like the only place a dark, natural beautiful woman is embraced is with NON BLACK PEOPLE.

if AI wasnt white, FANNY WOULD STILL BE IN NC TRYNA SING BACK GROUND. AND THE MOST FUCKED UP PART ABOUT IT IS THAT SHE HAD COUSINS IN THE INDUSTRY!

@Bye Polar, Actually Hillary Swank and Reece Witherspoon are demeaned by White people and Angelina Jolie is called even worse. PerezHilton.com is a prime example of White people hating their own. Hatred is hatred and it’s everywhere. The only difference between the races is White people divide their own by rich and poor and Black people divide theirs with dark and light.

about the parades…if you wanna show love, why not? why does it matter if you not puerto rican?

eve’s hair is lookin good

didn’t see fantasia perform, but her dress is ugly!

kobe and his fam look fake posing for pictures at disneyland all dressed up! nobody wear their sunday best to disneyland…it’s hot as hell

>>>>>> It’s a matter of context. In “Make Me Better” women aren’t downed they’re supported, and as if by chance this time the love interest isn’t black. That’s what LinaB is saying. Having a black woman in a rap video isn’t a problem if the woman’s portrayed in a positive light. Who would complain to be in a COMMON video for example? Nobody.

Fantasia is darkskinned, with a round nose, big lips, typical black woman body, and some of y’all calling her ugly. Says a lot. She killed it, her performance was flawless.

@62-Greenlea

Why would somebody named Greenlea, make any kind of comments referring to somebody’s looks? I bet you look like a Big Toe with no polish.

Lawd tasia tore the tonys up!! I tore my curtains down after watchin that! Damn and I haven’t put them back up yet, lol. But boo that dress was a hell no………but she still looked good. Shit I was @ the parade & enjoyed myself. Got a couple of guys numbers & I actually gave 1 my real number & not dominos!

Yes there is an African American parade its every year in Chicago Its called the Bud Biliken Parade and its the biggest African American Parade in the country. Its always around the 2nd week of August.

Doesn’t Kobe’s kids look like MaLing and Yoke, Russell Simmon’s kids; and what’s up with the three inch heels worn by his wife, I know those dogs are barking.
When did Eve become PR?
Fantasia looks nice I just wish that dress was a mini or to her knees the length throws it off a bit.

Fantasia ripped shit at the Tony Awards. I swear whenever she sings I get goosebumps, and every time I hear her sing “I’m Here” I cry. Fantasia has a beautiful spirit and God is blessing her.

Kobe has a beautiful family.

Fab is so sexy to me…Especially in this picture…Swagger and all…

I agree with everyone else, Kobe’s girls do look over dressed but maybe it’s a promotional thing…The girls are very pretty

#117- Bye Polar

Thanks. I don’t know people just started calling me that around the time when the whole (manny freshh..fr..fr..fresh) thing was going on and it stuck. But it is a great name cuz Fresh Prince is my fav. show & i’ve seen every single episode a million times.. I heard that they were having a reunion but like they say, i’ll believe it when i see it..

“the funky fresh is back in the flesh with a vengeance, homes” lol

@ 18. kindanice. Yes, there’s a West Indian day parade in BK. Lotta dancing in the street, costumes, somewhat live carnival, very fun. There’s also an African American day parade in harlem. It’s more family oriented – black marching bands & drill teams, step dancing, choirs etc. You get a little bit of everybody including the black church crowd (there’s a million congregations in harlem). It’s fun as well – lots of good soul food & live.

The police are can be overly aggressive sometimes at all these parades, they same way they were this weekend at the PR parade. They arrested 190 people for allegedly being “latin kings”. Go figure?

First of all for those who have never met Fantasia, her hair is very fine she cannot use relaxer but maybe five minutes, she actually has beautiful texture of hair.
She chose to wear short hair because of its texture about 10 years ago.
For your information she had just did a matineee show of the Color purple and rushed over to the Tonys and got dressed for the Tony’s and gave that performance without any rehearsal time or even stage or sound check…Awesome!!!!!
So she will be continuing to wear her hair short until after the paly or whenever because of the wigs for eight performances a week.
Youaknow before Angel post this stuf she should tell you the truth.
This is a rag thread, what a terrible way to profit in life, at least Fantasia has integrity and is making a honest living without trashing people..go figure
She is avery hard worker,she just needs to sat far away from Angel and peole who are like her!!!!!
Lighten up on the hate…if your parents didn’t tell you to hate is to murder, God said that!!!!!!

I am so proud of Kobe. He bounced back nicely after everything he has gone through. People (especially our blacks) need to stop hating on him all the time. The boy is great at what he do and his family is beautiful.

Really, I haven’t heard about too much of AA or WI festivals except Junetenth.All I hear is about the PR Parade and than the Macy’s parade, not that I’m just educated I just haven’t heard of them.

Black people think racism exist in white people, but it doesn’t, it’s in the black community, maybe thats why I don’t see the need for celebrating my culture if there’s that much hate within my community.Some blacks have soo much self-hatred it shows and it’s really sick.PR’s came over here to the U.S. unified and if they weren’t unified they still support each other.CL brings out the worst in some people.Fantasia maybe not meet the standards of Hollywood, but sister got it going on.They all have it going on.That’s why I don’t see why Al Sharpton & company wasting their time trying to change sick in the head black people’s mind about their communities.

Man I’m so mad I missed the Puerto Rican Day Parade in NYC…It’s always alot of fun to be around migente..

And yes they do have a black parade every year in Brooklyn called the West Indian Parade which is huge. I believe it’s even bigger than the Puerto Rican Parade…

And to all the haters…there is nothing wrong with African American celebrating with the Boricuas because like others have said we have alot in common and it’s good to support one another so kudos to Eve and Fabulous representing for the Boricuas….But I do agree they should also represent for their own people too…

WOW!! WHAT A SHOCK, FABOLOUS AT THE PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE (BEING SARCASTIC).

I am over Fannie’s hot messes. Jammin gel on your hair at an awards show? NO MAAM!!! Where did she find that grandma’s dress? She is too talented to be putting herself out there like this.

FABOLOUS IS THE MOST IGNORANT RAPPER/BLACK MAN TO EVER WALK THE FACE OF THE EARTH!! HE LOOKS LIKE A DUMB N$%%#R WITH ALL THOSE PR FLAG SCARVES ON LIKE HE’S A DAMN PR. WHATEVER HIS ETHNIC BACKGROUND IS, HE LOOKS LIKE A STUPID, BRAINWASHED BLACK DUDE. CAN’T STAND HIS ASS.

BLACK LATINOS HATE TO BE CALLED BLACK. IF U ASKED ANY OF THEM WHAT THEIR RACE IS THEY WILL SAY LATINO OR DOMINICAN cuban ect… HOW THE HELL CAN WE INCLUDE THESE BROWN PEOPLE AS US WHEN THE DARK ONES ARE ASHAMED.

just ask Zoe Saldana about how her black latin people dont consider themselves black. FORGET reading a book just ask 1 of them.

YES REAL BLACCS HATE MEXICANS CUZ THEY HATE US.

Fantasia holding it down looking all sexy and grown, man. Fuck all the haters on here. It’s a damn shame. Black people can be so ignorant sometimes.

REGARDLESS TO THE PUERTO RICANS PROVEN “BLACK ROOTS”, MANY DON’T WANT TO ADMIT HAVING BLACK IN THEIR BACKGROUND. IT’S SAD BUT A LOT OF THEM EVEN IN NYC, CONSIDER THEMSELVES “BETTER” THAN BLACKS WHICH ISN’T TRUE AT ALL. JUST LOOK AT THE COMMENT #80 MADE.

EXACTKY REE they wanna talk about reading a book i got my info from them personally. I would go up their dark as night azzez and ask if their black or not. Hell they would get angry for even asking.

and i always wondered why latinos like rocsie and julissa can host on b.e.t but you wont ever see an african american hosting on latin tv..and i mean never. Hell not even to guest.

they can call us nig.gaz all day but we say sp.ic or wetb.acc and they wanna fight.

black people from new york are clueless but they can’t help it i guess.

I LIVE IN NY AND I’M BLACK AND HAVE NO PLANS ON ATTENDING A PUERTO RICAN DAY PARADE BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THEY (EVEN THE ONES THAT LOOK BLACK) THINK THAT THEY’RE BETTER THAN BLACKS. I HAVE TO DISAGREE ABOUT THE PR’S THINKING BLACKS ARE THE SAME AS THEM, IT’S NOT TRUE EVEN IN NY.

CARAMEL�Thank you. Fantasia�s dress is appropriate for the occasion. It isn�t something I�d wear but at least she isn�t falling out all over the place. Some of these celebrities (they know who they are) could take note. Plus, this woman can sing. She did a great job.

CAROLINAWHEYOUSPEAK�Eve just isn�t cute or classy. She never will be no matter how hard she tries.

DAT DUDE�Oprah probably loved the dress. Hell, it is most likely hers. Lol!

@145 and @143 YALL right. you wont catch me at one. I always find it funny when i see blacks at that. They look dumb as hell.

I want to clear up some misconceptions I see some of the people have on here, about Puerto Ricans. Me being Puerto Rican I’m very aware that most Puerto Rican, not all, have african roots along with Taino Indian and Spanish roots. So to say that most Puerto Ricans deny having African roots is untrue. As far as my family and other Puerto Ricans I know we are very aware. Now to say we think we are better than blacks how did you come to this conclusion. I can make the same argument about African Americans because alot of African Americans are very prejudice against latinos so it goes both ways. And this is very true because I get treated very differently when I’m at a African American club and I get alot of stares and rude comments as well. But I know it’s just a few ignorant people and I don’t classify all Blacks as racist….. Nor should you classify all Puerto Ricans as racist against blacks….

So instead of getting mad at Fabulous and Eve for being at the Puerto Rican Parade you should rather be happy to see the two races uniting…I sware you complain about segregation and wanted to be treated as equal but then you want to get mad when a black person go to a latino event or if a latino go to a black event…… It’s stupid how are we ever going to have unity if ignorant blacks and latinos alike want to keep things seperated all the time….make up your minds what you want is all i have to say..

That dress that Fantasia is wearing is a HOT MESS!! She can’t sing!!!

I LOVE YOU FANTASIA YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON, AND DO ME A FAVOR PLEASE DON’T GIVE CONCRETE LOOP ANY MORE INTERVIEWS…ANGEL IS NOT YOUR FRIEND AND SHE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR CAREER, HELL SHE DIDN’T EVEN PUT THE YOUTUBE LINK UP AT FIRST..

YES REAL BLACCS HATE MEXICANS CUZ THEY HATE US.

Denise Said: YES THERE ARE SOME LATINOS OF AFRICAN LINEAGE WHO DENY BEING BLACK, BECAUSE THERE ARE ASHAMED TO BE CONNECTED WITH THE LEGACY OF SLAVERY. THE IGNORANCE OF SOME OF THE WHITE SKINNED LATINOS, HAVE ALSO LEAD TO THE SHAME,FOR INSTANCE, TELEMUNDO TELEVISION; IF YOU WATCH THAT STATION YOU WOULD THINK THAT THERE ARE NO DARKER SKINNED LATINOS IN LATIN COUNTRIES, ALSO THE ECONOMIC DIVIDE BETWEEN DARKER LATINOS AND LIGHTER SKINNED LATINOS, HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE IGNORANCE OF SOME DARKER SKINNED LATINOS. MOST BLACKS IN LATIN COUNTRIES LIVE IN POVERTY,WHILE MOST OF THE WHITE SKINNED LIVE IN ARISTOCRATIC SOCIETIES AND RULE THE GOVERNMENT-JUST LIKE HERE IN AMERICA.

I AM NO RACIST, I AM FOR ALL PEOPLE, I AM OFFERING AWARENESS, NOT ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO HATE LIGHT-SKINNED LATINOS.

THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS WHO ARE ASHAMED OF THERE AFRICAN ROOTS. THINK ABOUT HOW DARK SKINNED PEOPLE ARE CALLED “AFRICAN BOOTY SCRATCHER”; IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, IF YOU ARE CALLED AFRICAN, IT IT AN INSULT. IN CONCLUSION,MOST DARKER SKINNED LATINOS SUFFER FROM THE SAME SELF HATE AS US AFRICAN AMERICANS. WHY DO WE CALL STRAIGHT HAIR “GOOD HAIR” AND KINKY HAIR “NAPPY” OR “BAD HAIR”. HAS ANY AFRICAN-AMERICAN HEARD OF THE BROWN PAPER BAG TEST. SO ONCE AGAIN MY FELLOW BLACK PEOPLE, LOOK AT YOURSELVES BEFORE YOU JUDGE OTHERS, HOW CAN WE CRITICIZE SOMEONE OF THE VERY THING THAT WE ARE DOING?

I admit that I was hit with the “Colorstruck bug” a few times myself, it is evident in some of the comments that I made ON CONCRETE LOOP IN THE PAST. EDUCATION IS THE KEY, IT HELPED ME AND IT CAN ALSO HELP OTHERS; THAT IS THE PURPOSE FOR THE AFRO-LATINO MOVEMENT, BRINGING AWARENESS TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BLINDFOLDED.

MY FRIEND WHO’S BLACK HIRED A PUERTO RICAN WOMAN TO WORK FOR HIS COMPANY. IN CASUAL CONVERSATION, MY BLACK FRIEND TOLD HER THAT PUERTO RICANS WERE BLACK. THE PUERTO RICAN WOMAN TOLD HIM THAT SHE FELT HE WAS TRYING TO “OFFEND” HER AND QUIT THE JOB!! HOW PATHETIC IS THAT??

140, 141, 143, 144, 145 I AGREE. THERE ARE A LOT OF CLUELESS BLACKS IN NYC. FABOLOUS EPITOMIZES THE “CLUELESS BLACK”. OH, AND I STOPPED WATCHING BET(WHAT A JOKE) AFTER AJ AND FREE LEFT. THEY NEED TO CHANGE THEIR NAME TO JUST “ET” CAUSE IT’S DEFINITELY NO LONGER A BLACK NETWORK!

oh Denise i hear you. But for me it’s not about dissing that other dark skin black person or light. It’s about do you acknowledge that your black or have african blood at all. Black LATINOS are the only blacks on this planet i have ever ran into who didn’t acknowledge that they were black at all. African Americans know their black. It doesnt matter if they hate it or not.
I mean i dont even think it’s self hate anymore they honestly believe that their not black. If you hooked most of them up to a lie detector test and asked they would probably Pass with flying colors.

@152 yeah they hate it if you tell them that. They don’t won’t you saying they have anything to do with black. A few of them were ready to fight me because i said they had african blood. Quit the job though? dang we can’t be that bad! ):

@153 yeah bet became a joke they might as well change the name. I don’t know why new york blacks have to include latins on our tv you won’t see us on latin tv.
You won’t see fab and eve at the black parade or any famous latinos later this year i can guarantee that. Maybe angie martinez because stations go. It’s her job.

also mexicans LATINOZ hate blacks where i’m from for no apparent reason. I know that’s how it is on the west to.

Can’t stand Fabolous.

Fantasia KILLED it at the Tonys. Of course the white people didn’t appreciate her type of voice tho. I loved her performance, the dress on the otherhand…not so much. we both cried when she sang (Fantasia and I lol). I saw the original cast of the Color Purple and, I wasn’t sure about the idea of her joining the cast of the Color Purple as Ciely with her type of voice, but since that performance I see that she can hold her own.

These are the kind of comments that come from non-African American people regarding Fantasia. Some of you could take a page from their book. This is appreciation for hardwork:
What gets me about Fantasia’s performance of “I’m Here” is the raw emotion she brings to it. It was the same during the performance of The Color Purple I attended: she was almost overcome with emotion and it projected powerfully into the audience. I don’t understand how someone can do that night after night.

This is instant classic. Fantasia at the Tony awards! Amazing. Awesome shot. That’s a movie poster. That’s a commemorative cover. That’s the centerpiece of a collection of mementos. Great, great picture. It reminds me of that classic Star Wars poster from the 1970’s, with Luke holding a light saber. The background is kind of like the Matrix, at the end of the first one where all three agents raise their weapons in unison. It just calls out to you. She’s triumphant, she’s strong, she’s perfectly lit, and powerful. I can’t stop looking at it! Great, great shot. She’s transcendant once again. The Tony’s, the Grammys, the Kennedy Center Honors, Broadway, A.I., Carnegie Hall.

She’s 22. 22!

Fanty was fabulous. What a thrill for her to perform for that crowd. The girl is truly a star

She was freakin’ awesome. Few have such an innate gift for genuine heartfelt delivery. If breaking Tony Award show “rules” produces that kind of moment… fine by me.

Awwww man, Fantasia was fantastic tonight. I bet she lost it after she left the stage because she was dayum near tears during her performance. What an experience for her tonight. Just WOW!

It brought me back to the Season 3 finale when Fantasia somehow managed to turn in an extraordinary performance with a piece of poop song.

LITTLEMAMAJTB…What do you mean by “most of you wish your kids had hair like that”? Like what? Straight? Curly? You mean to say “good hair” don’t you? Believe it nor, some of us actually think black, strong Negro hair is “good hair”. You know what is ever worst? You didn’t stop showing your ignorance there. How dare you assume we would want light skinned children (not that there is anything wrong with that because you are what you are). Just because you still have your shackles on doesn’t mean that all blacks do. You obviously don’t love yourself. Once you’ve gotten rid of that complex let me know.

COMMENT ABOUT FANTASIA….THANK YOU. WE(BLACKS)HAVE BEEN COMPLAING TO NO AVAIL,SO MAYBE ANGEL WILL LISTEN TO YOU.

Thank you to all who told the truth about Hispanics.F. them. all.!; and you can throw africans from the continent in as well.Whetther Latinos are dark or light they are racist scum.Alot of Africans are scum too.Thses Africans have so many names to describe Black Amer. and West Indians.This is why I shake my head when Blacks are supporting these people.They are no good, most of them.Here you have Black Americans crying about Darfur!!!!Do you know what these Sudanese(Darfur is also in Sudan) call Black Americans and West Indians? ABID-which means slaves!!!!. I have been around and have had relationships with both groups. THEY ARE NO GOOD!(most of them).As for Black Hispanics,they might be even worse than The lighter ones. In closing, F!@#$.THEM.ALL. THEY CAN ALL GO TO HEll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I already know Fantasia tore it up, I’ll listen later. That girl can sannnnnnnnnnnng!

Kobe and the family look good!

To Amend: Black Hispanics might be even worse than the light ones(If that is possible.) Always keep an open mind to everyone and everything but some of them will talk and laugh with you and in your face but behind your back,watch out!;and some of them cant even do it behind your back, IT ALWAYS COMES OUT.Again, F!@@#$.THEM.ALL! THEY CAN ALL GO TO HELL!!!!!. KEEP IT MOVING,MY PEOPLE.NONE OF THEM CAN TEST US!

It’s funny i don’t really watch that shit but i was watching howard stern and these spanish pornstars were on. They said they dont fuck black guys because their families would be devastated. WTF….so it’s all good you’re a whore sleeping every white guy in front of millions. Your family is ok as long as it ain’t black…lol.I don’t know i just found that funny.

I have no idea why some blacks think their our brothers and sisters when they hate us more than whites. Blacks and whites actually get along just fine here but latinos hate us with a passion. They try to start shyt almost everyday at my sisters high schools.

yeah anyway black white green yellow fantasia is butt ugly to me.
fab eve = clowns for being at that parade hope to see them at west indian parade.

and the only reason vannessa is with kobe is because he has millions. If he was a regular nukkah on the streets her or her mexican family wouldn’t have any part of him.

To #’s 75 , 78, 121, and 158…I couldn’t have said it any better…Thanks!!!

Wow…thanks for the You Tube Link…I totally missed that performance!!! Read the comments on there…wild!

163…just read you too. You right, but something can be cute about Fantasia. The only thing is from a health stanpoint…it’s still controllable…so don’t get to big, especially top heavy. Peace

I myself am a African-American/Dominican male, and YES, we are comprised of African genes as well as latin. Whats the big deal. I do think that non Puerto-Ricans should keep they monkey ass away from the PR day parade. You dont see Mexicans celebrating MLK Day on your local MLK BLvd do you? Nutn wrong wit jus havin a good time. Fab was there for the chicks, plain and simple. Dont know WTF McTonight-Face ass Eve was doin there….Ah well.

@18:

Here in Dallas there is the MLK Day Parade and the Juneteenth Picnic that takes place this Saturday. So, I guess there are Afro-American Days in other cities.

Ta-Ta…um, Boo…..that dress is not working. I’m sure the performance was GREAT!

I don’t like Kobe but the family pic is cute. Don’t know why the oldest baby has that HUGE bow on, but oh well! The kiddos are the cutest! No comment on Mom and Dad! Next!

Sooooo Rude And Ignoranttttttt………

Fantasia I agree with #150, DO NOT GIVE ANGEL ANYMORE INTERVIEWS, SHE IS A HATER AND WANTS TO SABOTAGE YOU SHE IS JEALOUS AND SHE IS THE ONE WHO IS TRULY UGLY INSIDE AS WELL AS OUT!!!! STAY AWAY FROM HERE FANTASIA FAR AWAY AVOID HER LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!

Damn hispanics hate black folks that much? I don’t know why cause they all have BLACK ANCESTORY! sO THEY SHOULD THINK TWICE!

ALL OF YALL WHO R SAYING THAT LATINOS ARE RACIST AGAINST BLACKS OR ARE ASHAMED TO BE HALF BLK, YALL NEED 2 REALLY OPEN YALL EYEZ & SPEAK THA TRUTH. YALL KNOW DAMN WELL DAT MOST OF YALL DONT LIKE LATINOS SO IT GOEZ BOTH WAYS!!! EVERYBODY NEEDS 2 REALIZE THAT BOTH RACES HAVE THEIR DISLIKES ABOUT OTHER OUTSIDE RACES, BUT AS “MINORITIEZ”, WUT ARE WE GAINING FROM THIZ? WE ADD FUEL 2 THE FIRE BY FIGHTING ABOUT ISSUES LIKE DIS, AND IT JUST MAKES US LOOK STUPID. I HAVE MANY FRIENDS THAT ARE BLACK AND WE GET ALONG FINE AND WE DONT CARE ABOUT WUT EACH OTHERZ ETHNIC BACKGROUND IZ. THATS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS MORE OF.

BUT WUT ABOUT WHITE PPL, CAUSE I KNOW DAMN WELL THEY AINT SAINTS!!!NOW I EVEN SEE IT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. (SO LETS JUS CONTINUE 2 FIGHT & DESTROY EACH OTHER BECAUSE THATS WHAT WHITE PPL ENJOY SO SEE.)

well, hip hop artists have always represented in the ny puerto rican parade. krs one, diddy, fat joe, marc anthony, maxwell, and so on and so forth. j-lo has been in it thousands of times so her being in it is nothing new. the problem is that the puerto rican parade is less and less of a family parade by the year, and it has become a place where one can “rep their hood” and cause problems. it is definitely not the same parade that i went to when i was a child and am highly over it.

as for eve and kobe, they look good and at least hes in the spotlight for something positive.

Other than JHo, are any of those people even partially Puerto Rican, or is that not a requirement to be on a float?

Kobe’s kids look ugly sometimes and really cute some other times.

its not a requirement to be puerto rican to be on the float. r&b station 98.7, and hip hop’s hot 97 and 105.1 have had floats in the parade for years! and as for all this black/latino racism, i honestly didnt see it until i went to college and was shocked. i have african features and am proud, and to this day, love black people as much as i love my latinos. as a matter of fact, i relate more to the black community than the puerto rican community. only when i went to parts of brooklyn and spoke w/people from other states did i truly see this “racism” some of you have spoken of.

the racism by both parties is pointless. both cultures (hispanic and black) have the least amount of people in colleges, make up the majority of the jail populations and overall go through the same crap when we go for jobs and the whole nine. puerto ricans were involuntarily used as guinea pigs for birth control in the 1940’s. south america still is feeling the aftermath of slavery much deeper than north america in regards to dark skinned hispanics and native american hispanics.

everyone needs to accept their past, move on, and rise up against all that is holding us back from becoming successful, which includes ourselves. and even though the prican parade is centered at one culture, parades should be enjoyed by all people.

LATIN KING…you know damn well most white people are not racist. ignorant statement. BLACK PEOPLE have never had anything against latinos..i mean never. The hate we have against latinos all started because of the latinos.
When the black ones hate black americans you know yall started it. Outside of new york blacks and latinos really dont get along and it will never change.
What you seem to dont understand is MOST BLACKS DID NOT grow up around latinos. WE grew up around more whites than latinos. We went to school with more whites than latinos. You people need to get out that new york state of mind and look at the rest of the country.

blacks celebs shouldn’t be at that march if their not gonna come to the black one. ONLY Thing we need is BLACK UNITY we dont need no latinos.

ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE SUM1 THAT NEEDS 2 THINK B4 THEY SPEAK. THAT WAS A IGNORANT STATEMENT! EVERY WORD U SAID WAS A LIE AND U NEED 2 LOOK IN THE R.E.A.L. WORLD AND SEE WUTS GOIN ON. WHITE PPL DONT LIKE NEITHER OF US, AND IT IZ A WHITE WORLD. THEY BUILT SOCIETY TO WORK AGAINST US AND BLAME US AND SUPPORT THEM. WE ARE THE BLAME FOR EVERYTHING, WE ARE THE MAJORITY IN PRISON, WE ARE COMMITTING CRIMES, WE ARE THE POOR AND LESS EDUCATED ONES. WHITE PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE MORE EDUCATED THAN US, HAVE MORE MONEY, BETTER JOB, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A WHITE PRESIDENT, AND WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER AT EVERYTHING. U SAY BLK PPL DONT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST LATINOS AND NEVER HAVE?? U SHOULD RE-READ YOUR COMMENT AND THE OTHERS B4 YOU BRO. AND I CANT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WUT U SAID ABOUT BLACKS GROWING UP WITH WHITES AND GOING 2 SCHOOL WITH THEM AND BLACKS&WHITES ALWAYS GETTING ALONG, BUT WHITE PEOPLE MADE SURE SEGREGATION WAS ENFORCED IN THEIR COMMUNITY, THEY HAD SEPERATE SCHHOLS, BUSES, EVERYTHING. BUT YALL SEEM TO GET ALONG FINE, RITE?? YEA ITZ CHANGED BUT PEOPLES MINDS HAVENT CHANGED. I MUST BE THE LONLY ONE THAT SEES WHITE PEOPLE DONT LIKE BLACKS AND HISPANICS OR ITZ JUS LIKE THAT HERE IN DALLAS. “LICIOUS32″, THANK U FOR YOUR COMMENT. “everyone needs to accept their past, move on, and rise up against all that is holding us back from becoming successful, which includes ourselves.” AND IF SUM OF YALL STILL DONT AGREE…THAN FUCK IT. I DID MA PART.
