Stephanie Grace Believes In The Superiority Of The White Race!


Stephanie Grace is a disgrace to the white race.She is the ignorant Harvard Law student who sent out a racist email in which she stated that blacks aren't as intelligent as whites.I thought that we were living in a "post-racial" society.Don't you just love how that myth keeps getting debunked time & time again? Racism is carried from generation to generation.It's not just old white tea party folks who feel this way.Young,supposedly bright college students like Stephanie Grace are living proof of this sad fact.

You would think that a Harvard law student would have way more intelligence than Stephanie Grace appears to have.I mean,why she would put these racist thoughts in a email? That's pretty freaking stupid right there!I'm sure that she never imagined that email would become as public as it did.Now,Ms. Grace is trying to save face by issuing an apology in which she contradicts her own stated beliefs.

But,the proof is in the pudding.I hope nobody believes that blacks are intellectually inferior to whites.Especially if you compare the current president to the previous one.There is no way that anyone can truthfully say that George Bush is more intelligent than Barack Obama.Like I said,the proof is in the pudding.That is just one comparison out of many that I could make.

Here's more on this story from The Boston Globe:

"Grace, an editor of the Harvard Law Review, is headed for a federal clerkship in California with Ninth Circuit Court Judge Alex Kozinski. She graduated from Princeton University in 2007 with the highest honors and obtained a degree in sociology, according to the university’s registrar. A Princeton website said Grace conducted research on how the racial composition of one’s freshman year roommates influences behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions in subsequent college years.

In her e-mail to her friends, she wrote that while she could “be convinced that by controlling for the right variables, we would see that [black people] are, in fact, as intelligent as white people under the same circumstances. The fact is, some things are genetic. . . .

“I don’t think it is that controversial of an opinion to say I think it is at least possible that African-Americans are less intelligent on a genetic level, and I didn’t mean to shy away from that opinion at dinner,’’ she continued.

She signed off on the e-mail with, “Please don’t pull a Larry Summers on me’’ — referring to the former Harvard president who was pressured to resign after faculty unrest in part because he suggested in a 2005 speech that women lacked the same “intrinsic aptitude’’ for science as men.

On Wednesday, Grace sent an apology to leaders of the Black Law Students Association, the president of the student government, Minow, and several faculty members.

“I am deeply sorry for the pain caused by my e-mail. I never intended to cause any harm, and I am heartbroken and devastated by the harm that has ensued. I would give anything to take it back,’’ Grace said in the apology, obtained by the Globe.

“I emphatically do not believe that African-Americans are genetically inferior in any way. I understand why my words expressing even a doubt in that regard were and are offensive.’’(END OF EXCERPT)Read the whole article here.

YouTube Pulls M.I.A's Controversial "Born Free" Video


Wow!I think that YouTube went way too far when it pulled M.I.A's video off of its site.I mean, you can view clips of porn on YouTube,for goodness sake.So,how the heck is this video a violation of their policy? This video is not the most shocking thing that I have ever seen.It' just very,very political,though.And I think that's the reason why the reaction to this video is so strong.Some folks highly praise it while others show their disdain for it.

Here's my opinion.I didn't dig the song at all. So,I couldn't sit through the video.And I like M.I.A. Whenever I look at any music video for more than a split second,it is because I like both the artist & the song.Your video should never be more interesting than your song.It's supposed to complement it.Not overshadow the music entirely as this video apparently has.

Here's more from MTV News:

"With its scenes of graphic violence and politically charged message, M.I.A.'s video for "Born Free" has already elicited impassioned responses from her fans and detractors. Now, thanks to those critics, it has been pulled from one of the most popular video sites on the Internet.

On Tuesday, YouTube yanked the so-called "real and explicit version" of "Born Free" from its pages, claiming the clip violated rules that "prohibit content like pornography or gratuitous violence."

A spokesperson for the site told the BBC that, while YouTube does not comment on individual videos, its policy is "to age-restrict content that has been flagged by the community and identified by our policy enforcement team as content that, while not violating our community guidelines, is not suitable for users under age 18."

Originally, the "Born Free" video was tagged as containing "content that is inappropriate for some users" and required users to verify they were over the age of 18 before they were allowed to watch the clip (something M.I.A. herself pointed out on her Twitter account)."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Sandra Bullock Adopted A Beautiful Black Baby!


After seeing that horrific husband of hers in Nazi gear,I was wondering if Sandra Bullock was anything like Jesse James.I mean,she is German after all.But,it appears that she is not a secret Nazi lover.Maybe her husband is into collecting Nazi memorabilia,but I don't think she's into that at all.Sandra wouldn't have chosen the beautiful,black baby that she is gazing adoringly at on the cover of People magazine if she were a xenophobe.

I love the fact that she adopted a baby that was from America.Instead of going to another continent,Sandra Bullock found a little angel right in New Orleans.There are plenty of children that are in need right here in the United States of America. I'm glad to see that Sandra realizes that.And kudos to her for getting rid of Jesse James for good.They are getting divorced.

Here's more from Essence:

"Sandra Bullock has had one heck of a year thus far. First the Oscar for "The Blind Side" then her husband Jesse James' scandalous affairs and now the revelation that she adopted a Black boy from New Orleans in January. She named him Louis Bardo Bullock. Cute name, and a great move for Sandy.

Bullock joins a small group of Hollywood celebs who have adopted Black children, like Steven Spielberg (son, Theo), Tom Cruise (son, Connor), Brangelina (daughter Zahara) and Madonna (son and daughter, Mercy and David).

Though they've been ridiculed (remember the debate about Zahara's hair?) and their motives questioned (do Black children really belong in a White household?) these celebs are really going against the grain of adoption trends."(END OF EXCERPT)
