Where are such women? More of people like her are needed, the media is posioning my generation and I feel sad about that. It's hard to discover such people now.

What a world. I think about all of those Caucasian men that busted their asses to bring humanity out of the darkness of ignorance and living life at the level of animals. And what did those BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT CAUCASIAN MEN OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY get for their amazing contributions to the world? Why they get racist agenda-driven bimbos like soldaddy going around and shitting on them and making it sound like the race that did so much good for the world is worthless trash!

WAKE UP CAUCASIANS!!

Can't we all just be happy for people that over come the stupid brain washing? You know like who is superior or who has the most money or what ever? In the end none of that stuff is important. We are born, we live a while then we die. Keep it simple enjoy this life it's not forever.

This whore is Black when it suits here needs, white when she needs to and a Latin depending on the situation, what a fucking whore, when you are a mixed person, you get to choose where you belong by your marriage, she married a white man which is okay but stop running around and doing Black in America shows, let the people who live it every day do the show, not enough acceptance in the white community? Fucking whore.

She is a slut and an idiot

[Divalawgirl]

The volume is very bad. I can barely hear what she is saying. Nonetheless, I admire her work and she is an excellent role model for women of color.

Thank goodness Solidad's mother was not a good listener. Unbelievable that just a short time ago that racism controlled our parents' lives to such an extent. I am grateful to have a national news reporter who understands this reality. I hope she stays in the news business for a very long time.
