Neyo or shall I respect him by saying GAYO needs to go and sit his “OVER POSING/OVER SMILING/OVERACTING/ gay butt down and stop putting up the front. take off the hats and just come out of your little gay mans closet and just admit it cause it–the way you OVER DUE everything is so darn GAY. I see Neyo and Tyler Perry as a perfect couple. Both of them always OVERDUE it when they pose with a woman and both of them know that they need to come on out of the closet and just be the GAY men that they are.

@ 19 light-skinned?

why do people refer to A Keys as black when she is clearly bi-racial her mother is white she is therefore half and half- why do black people insist on claiming everyone as black- just as racist as the ‘one drop’ rule from which such definitions stem

Swiss did answer the question!??!? & said Alicia had nothing to do with the break up of his marriage!! I hate how people always like to think the negative is the truth even when peeps tell you it isn’t!! Alicia normally doesn’t comment on her personal life so I am not waiting on her to respond. Kerry standing beside her holding his woman cheezing is her answer!! I don’t know any man that would have shown up with someone if he knows or just found out she was cheating on him or was sleeping with a married man.

@ 34 Swizz did not deny Alicia Keys Rumors, he just mentioned that they are focusing on that and not the fact that he still on good terms with Mashonda and funding her career, if anything he kind of brought up Alicia to defend her by saying leave her alone, he never really denyed it , he wasn’t even questioned about it just as Alicia hasn’t been questioned he was the one that brought it up just to dance around it.

@ 25 JO

are you trying to divide us ? You sound like a devil to me..

41.

yeah okay

Thursday, June 19, 2008 /

Swizz DISMISSED the rumors. HipHopWkly and MTkOut are famous for twisting words and that’s exactly what happened. Kerry is STILL Alicia’s man, and if she had cheated on Kerry he wouldn’t have stayed with her. I don’t know ANY man who was cheated on who would be all smiles holding his woman in public like it’s all cool. I love how some haters used to say she was a lesbo but suddenly now that there’s this scandale none of them questioned it because of her (so-called) real sexuality that they so believed in until this. People love drama. Mashonda used an A-list celeb’s name to put hers in the map, she jumped on the opportunity cos she was asked about AK. It’s that simple

42.

yeah okay

Thursday, June 19, 2008 /

Alicia Keys is referred to AS BLACK BECAUSE SHE CALLS HERSELF BLACK. That’s the same reason why Halle Berry is generally called BLACK. If bi-racial kids wanna define themselves as ONLY ONE SIDE of their identity due to their experiences, I’m all for it. After all, if she ever gets in trouble with the law she’ll be judged as a black woman.

@ 25…Alicia has referred to herself as black in many interviews. She also referred to herself as light-skinned .. which she is. What I want to know is if you have so many problems with black folks why are you on this site? Seeing how we are such bad folks that are snatching and claiming any and everyone with a drop of black blood…smh…..

Furthermore, I am tired of you self-hating biracials coming on every black board constantly reprimanding black folks for calling biracials black.
Will you please spend this energy going off on white folks for privately “thinking” biracials are black, but publicly calling them biracial to appease them? Their actions are far more obvious than their kind words to your face.
Will you please spend your energy dissing white folks for isolating biracials from the white community altogether? When are you going to fight the real issues and stop slapping the only community that accepted biracials because most of it was through rape and humiliation until more recent years?
Finally, I am tired of you using the excuse that you were teased, bullied, jumped or harassed by black folks for being mixed or light..hell, everyone has been bullied or teased by mean kids/teens, so get the hell over it! Its life! Get some therapy and leave at peace with others the best you can!

If you hate your blackness so much, then call yourself white. We are not interested in anyone with these tired azz issues being a part of our community. The sad part is you self-hating biracials claim to be bred out of “love”, but you have more hate in your hearts for a part of you( black) that will actually embrace you and all the “love” for the part ( white) that wants NOTHING to do with you.
Let’s face it, you want that whiteness for the privilege and prestige….unfortunately that blackness is your eye-sore. You are a sad case.

Sorry for the sermon, but I have been wanting to say this for a long azz time. I am sick of them coming on here doggin us.

oh so jo #25 is biracial?

to all “biracials” there is no such thing….mulatto is not a race..nor ethnicity nor has a written history or nationality or native tongue….

so if you are not embracing a heritage you are a confused semi human being.

note if you are biracial A you were lynched with so called full blacks…raped by whites..castrated…had your stomachs slit open with a baby inside… just like us “full bloods”

lastly you are an 14th amendment citizen just like “full blooded” black people….Artificial citizens as opposed to natural citizens aka WHITEs.

So if you hate black people so much just go claim white …we dont need any self hating confused… negros of ANY SHADE within our midst….peace to the “biracials” who are PRO black like roger guenvarr smith….jasmine guy…mario van peebles etc

@ #56 People were not creating an argument about the race of her parents- that is a non issue. The issue came up when JO decided to tell the posters they are wrong for referring to Alicia as black or lightskin because she has a white Mom. Its Alicia decision about her ethnicity not some random biracial person with issues.

61.

cutie

Thursday, June 19, 2008 /

Well…I am black. Not biracial, not mulatto, not half/half…100% black. I know I may get alot of hype from this…but I agree with #25. Alicia, Halle, Mariah Rock, Diesel, Tiger, D. Jeter and whoseneva else…I do not look at them as black. I look at them as biracial. It irks me for instance when Halle won the oscar and they referred to her as the first black/african american woman to ever win an Academy Award. She is not black. She and Alicia both came from White mothers at that…not even a black woman. I must give Alicia credit that she embraces her blackness very well. Halle used to during her Boomerang, Losing Isiah days, but in my opinion she is slowly distancing herself. And if her baby looks anything like “Lucinda’s” daughter from the Young and the Restless (a mixed woman and a white man) then the baby will look damn near 100% white. I think biracial individuals claim to tend to cling to the race in which they are more comfortable around and that side of the family that accepted the individual more. If you have a mixed boy or girl raised in the projects or hell’s kitchen then they tend to “be more black” and will even date a bllack individual. if you have a mixed individual raised more around a white community, more of their friends tend to be white and they choose to date other whites. You do not hear white people referring to Halle and the others as white, so why shoiuld we refer to them as black. They are mixed…and its kind of simple as that.

62.

Thursday, June 19, 2008 /

a cutie i see your point

but its just not correct

mixed and biracial are wedge terms created by whites to perpetuate the machination of the willie lynch syndrome

“biracials” have been with black people in the field houses…in the fields…since weve gotten here..

first of all we are not “black” people….i am of ghanian descent….im not the same as a moroccan or a sierra leonian….we do not worship the same gods nor speak the same native tongue… yall will allow white people to make whatever labels they want…coons…spooks…mulattos…coloreds…african americans(rediculous term) ..so its only natural for the offspring of two different races to embrace a heritage..its the only healthy thing….being “mixed” is exactly that

confused and lost…

i just feel like if a mixed person and a white person were both drowning in the ocean and there was only one life vest on a boat occupied by white people…nevermind, i won’t go on, but race relations won’t be solved on this board or overnight, so everybody claim what you want. if halle sees herself as black, then that’s what she is. (hollywood treated her like she was). a close friend of mine who is mixed refers to herself as both mixed AND black depending on the circumstances. Funny how that works.

Thank you Cutie for your clarity.
The problem is not that these people are biracial the problem is that black people are always being dogged out for stating that the consider them to be blacks. We cannot forget that our group in this country has one of the most unique and painful histories. We have always had mixed people amongst us thats stood proud and consider themselves black. Keep in mind many of these people had black mothers. I think many biracial kids now have white mothers and alot of these white mothers set these kids up to believe the whole world with the exception of blacks will see them as biracial or a better version of black when that is certainly not the case.
I personally do not see the people that you named as just biracial I see them as black too just like I see my grandmother, great aunt and cousin as blacks and they are all biracial. At the end of the day we are all mixed, especially the average African American so its hard for me to give these people special treatment when the bloodlines are mixed for the rest of us.

@ 62 so yusef x because a person doesn’t agree with you they are lost and confused?- labels created by white people blah blah blah
standard black crap- you saved the mixed-talking about slave times like you were there? you’re a fraud- i dont care how many x you have after your name- mixed race isn’t a race neither is black- there is only one race the human race- black or african american is your ethnic make up if someone’s ethnic make up is black, white, indian why are they just black? look at vanessa williams- european hair, white skin, blue eyes but she’s black? because of slave mentality- you want to know history ask yourself why were black people selling their own- the true self loathing is going on amongst black people you only need to look at the photos on this site and hip hop music videos to see that

73.

SAY WHAT:O

SAY WHAT:O

Alicia and Halle has called themselfs black before. my mixed friend calls herself black (she lives with her black grandmother and grew up around her black family) but when she’s with white folk she’ll say she’s mixed, even though she’ll change her voice (but not white.) Intresting.

A mixed person will call themselfs whatever they prefer, and yes it will change depending on what race they are suronded by. Why are some of yall (who aren’t even mixed) seem so defensive over this? why would y care if they or people call them black, white, biracial. are mixed?

@ 72

not all mixed race people change what they call themselves- that is just your experience- and if they do its probably because they want to avoid the level of abuse being dished out by others on this site- making people feel guilty over something they have no experience of- its desperate
