Is This Chick For Real?

Do you remember Keke Wyatt? You know, the girl in the duet with Avant? The one that shanked her husband! Yeah, her! Anyhoo she said some pretty foul things in an interview with Essence magazine. She talked about "black people" in a very disparaging way! She said,"I’m not all Black, but I definitely stand up for the Black people. They’ve had it rough, they can’t help the fact that they’re skin is dark, or that their nose is a lil’ wider or that the curls in their hair might be tighter. I don’t think that it’s fair for people who look like me—the light skin, pointy nose and pretty hair—to think that dark-complected people are any less than them. Who am I? I’m not better than you. I breathe the same air and I bleed the same blood. Nobody is better than anybody else. We are all in this struggle called life. I think brown skin is beautiful because people like me have to lay out in the sun to try and look like you. My best friends are Black—I mean, Black-Black—and I think that’s so beautiful. I think that’s why I decided to make my children Black…I could have married a White dude and my kids probably would have looked completely White. That’s not what I wanted. Now, they can go outside and get a for-real tan (laughs). I think Black is beautiful. I stand for the African-American people until the day I die." Is she serious? I never knew she was mixed? He hair looks like mine! I think her little stint in jail has pushed her over the sanity line! "Black" people have put up with these little snide remarks forever. "You're so cute to be so dark!" You know the compliment wrapped in a put-down? To those who say these things I say, "Bitch Pleaze!
