i never thought she was cute before, but now she looks ugly and like a brain dead follower without a mind of her own. this "half-shaved" look is ridiculous.
My friend invited me to her church which is predominantly black (I'm white), and I have to say I think black women are not only incredibly gorgeous but age amazingly well. During a birthday celebratio. […]

The first chic…Jenna is it? I would say something but I have too much class, UGH!
I feel sorry for Jenna and ppl like her. To be filled with so much self hate… to not be able to or not want to relate with a major part of your identity… that just has to be the worst feeling. If you don’t instill that love and pride when they’re a child, “Jenna” is what you get. Her mother needs some help also. Trying to pull all that “White grandfather and Indian ancestors” talk. Lady, Puhlease! You’re Black… identify!
I’m so glad Tyra does shows like this. I see on a lot of blogs, ppl try to say, “Black women always try to tear each other down, you don’t see other races do that.” First off, no, you don’t see others do it if you only frequent black celeb blogs and secondly, there’s the proof {the Hispanic girls and Asian girls} that they can be just as ignorant towards one another. It shows ppl that Blacks are not the only ones to deal with the whole class and light skin/dark skin issue.
Kudos to Tyra and I hope she continues to bring these issues to the forefront.
Yeah I thought she stressed the indian in my family point hard LOL BUT I don’t agree with the one drop attitude and people should mos def embace all aspects of their heritage, IF it’s relevant as in if you don’t have direct access to these folks and these cultures aren’t evident in your life than hursh. Like my grandfather is half indian we don’t even know what that means LOL rather native American or from India so it only comes up around fam or in jokes, or releveant to the convo like here.
But I don’t think that a person being raised by a white mother or father (or whatever the race) should deny that just because they look most like their peers knowing at home there is a mixture of cultures going on.
And I actually understood Jenna, thought she’d have me fuming did to a degree but she’s basically raised as a white girl I don’t know why her mother is confused. And that’s a white girl sheltered from other cultures still reared in a racist element herself. Not saying I agree but understand where that stems from that’s like the white kids growing up in my neighborhood and never being exposed to other white people. They’d gravitate to the culture around them and will hate the fact that they are different from the culture they know and most within the cheered on culture so to speak wouldn’t have beef with it.
lol Tyra is something else trying to brow beat Jenna into admitting that she has been traumatized in the past.
thats deep. i am glad she did a wide spectrum of ladies too.
Jenna is the female Clayton Bigsby [black white supremacist character played by Dave Chapelle]…except she can see! Self hate is death. Hmmmm, that’s all I can say about that.
I don’t even get mad at people like her. You have to keep moving on, keep on doing you and keep building yourself up. I don’t let people get me down because I’m black and they’re hating on me. I might have a better life than that person who’s hating.
Props for doing various races.
Although I was very shocked by Jenna’s perspective of the black race of which she was a part, I actually felt extremely sorry for her. Indeed, it is difficult being the only black student amongst an entire class of whites. However, no matter how badly Jenna wanted to fit in, there was absolutely no excuse for her to blatantly disregard and even demean her black heritage.
Oh my God. The first girl made me fucking die!! LOL!
im crying with laughter at jenna. she will never be accepted as white , and black people probably won’t want her either after this. she reallly thinks shes white? with that confederate flag? sad.
