You can't find a black women who doesn't like rap. I call BS. You prefer non black women because you don't like black women. Just say that instead of using a BS excuse.

I really liked her comments about suppression.I dont know that blks actually become "angry blk men/women" I think that is a stereotype,however I do believe that blks have to suppress who they are.I can watch teenage white boys walk down the street and jump up and hit street signs but if my son did it he would be stopped by the police for attempted vandalism-that type of thing.Good thing she had this interview she never would have known how much race played a part in her life. God bless you Tiff!

@MedusasSnakePit Did that person ask the aborigines if there was racism in Australia?

[jWestdd]

And quite making excuses for the N word. Even at that young age when White children use this word, it is meant to hurt.

Yes!, we are one of the most racist countries in the world. With all the political correctness and affirmative action we have. If your white you are treated under the law as a second class citizen.

[MedusasSnakePit]

No racism in Australia? If you do an internet search, you will find that Australia is one of the most racists countries in the world

So, in my case (back then) I tried to do things that were (stereotypically) considered "black." I absolutely hate BET now, but I looked to that channel as a teen as many other young blacks. So I also appreciate Stephanie's message at the end which was so wonderful. "Stay true to yourself." No matter what other's may think of you or consider to be "not black enough." I mean, what the hell does that mean anyway? Just be...

@LaRegina. This is also my experience while growing up. Except I liked/like rap & hip hop alot! However, we'll be listening to LL Cool J, Salt n Pepa, or Eric B.& Rakim one day. The next day I want to listen to Wilson Phillips or Debbie Gibson and I get looked at like I was crazy and called a white girl. I would open my mouth to speak the way I was taught & get mimicked.

Your definitly not alone to add on to the fact that I didn't particularly like rap, and I'm very well spoken I had long hair so alot of people treated me differently and I would always get people asking me if I was mixed. Alot of black kids would automatically see me and want to just be me up or degrade me. But I know it was just the area I lived in it was just hard growing up like that. So I know what you mean.
