    Re: FukDemNiggaz – I guess you'll have to start with yourself! It is a scientific FACT that by analyzing mitochondrial DNA it shows that ALL humans are descended from a single African woman 100,000 years ago. So fuck-wad, since YOUR black ancestors are the same, start by smashing your own skull. I guarantee you it won't be a problem since it's empty anyway.

    Perez, it's time for you to start policing your comments section. The hateful, racist ignorance that this post caused to spew forth demonstrates the need for editing. This is your site and you don't have to approve messages of hate and profanity. I admire your willingness not to censor negative responses to you, but some things cross the line and the racism here definitely does.

  33. CHARLIE says – reply to this


    33

    white people apparently have no lives, as all they seem to do with the time on their handsis sit here on perezhilton.com and post racist comments that they'd never utter to a black person. i'd be offended if i didn't know most of you are nonsensical with nothing better to do than judge those who are equal to you on most levels, and far superior on other levels.

    If only Dr. King could see us now! He would be so disappointed in the black community. We have done nothing with ourselves….more blacks in prison, black on black crime, drug addicts, alcoholics, nigga babies having nigga babies and letting the gov. support them. WOW we have done so well as a race….lets march and cheer about that! Once a porch monkey always a porch monkey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Black people are a kind, Intelligent, Strong and Beautiful people that have overcome Four Hundred years of Hatred, Rape, and Opression to become a stictch in the very fabric that is this country. America would not be what it is today without the servitude and back breaking labor that we gave. We are more than what you see on television and if that is all that you think we are than your intelligence is highly questionable. We have done more for this country than any other people so maybe you should step back and do a little study before you judge so harshly. Dr. King would be very proud of us as a people for all that we have done in the fields of Science, Education, Politics and so many other fields. Yes we have our problems but to have been freed from centuries of hellish slavery, and then to have lived through another hundred years of Jim Crowe, then to have soldiered on through the Civil Right Movement all on our own. We have come very far and have much to be proud of. Why don't you turn off the televison and pick up a book. Maybe then you will know what black people truly are!

    Re: OJ SIMPLETON – You certainly named yourself right! And I do frequently come to this site and others. This is where I get the best material for my classes and seminars. But thanks, you've made it so easy to make my lesson plans this week! My students will get quite a laugh from the modern "neanderthals" I've found here. And the "gay" remark tells me so much more too! It is kind of sad though to think that you were actually raised in America and still haven't learned the lessons of equality and fairness that this country has promoted since 1776. Well, it just goes to show you even the best educations can't overcome a sub-par mentality.

    1st of all if you don't have the intelligence to know what Martin Luther King has done for this country than you must be retarded. He gave up his life so everyone could be treated equally and you son of a bitches have the nerve to call him a coon
    don't say shit online that you won't say to any black persons face because you online you think you can type all these racist remarks than you have no lives ! and as far as saying black people don't have computers
    Well I'm black I have a computer and all my friends have computers how about your white trash relatives who have no electricity ?
    and Black women are not ugly you people are
    and to inform you a Black Woman was the mother of all human civilization what are you trying to say about your selves either way you came from a Black Woman !
    you Racist pieces of shit should all be shot in the head !

    Re: OJ SIMPLETON – My creds are as follows: I've been teaching at UCLA for 9 years. I have a PHD in biology and a second in psychology from U of M and Wayne State. I'm always open for VALID resources to expand my teaching programs. But I have still found that personal opinions are the greatest reflection of our society today and the Internet has given me the largest pool of data with which to teach my classes. Oddly enough, it's my older (50+) students that seem to be the most receptive to the changes in society even though they were raised in a more repressive era. I just hope that human behavior can and will change for the better and more diverse with the expansion of the knowledge and data that has become available on line. Unfortunately, there will always be a character like this "OPRAH" creature who can only stir up hatred and ignorance no matter how progressive the evolutionary chain advances.

    If King were alive today, he would tell the blacks what a sorry bunch of animals they have become. With the rappers and the ghetto behavior and the ebonics and the me, me, me attitude and the drugs and the gangs and etc. and etc.. Bill Cosby is right…..you've got to listen.

  71. shut up says – reply to this


    71

    It was your ancestors, that slaved, not you now. And by the way, the white people now, have never owned slaves. It's fucking ridiculous that you can sue some white person because their ancestor owned slaves. You guys want to be treated equally, yet you get things handed to you. When something goes wrong in your "community", who do you blame?: White people.

    I personally think what Dr. King wanted, was for everyone to be equal, for love, and peace. We don't have that now. He would be ashamed of the way you act.

    Racism is in every race, not just white people. Also, there were white people that marched in the civil rights movement with the black people. There were white slaves (indentured servants). Sure, maybe they got to be freed but that's how they payed their way to this country.

    Another fact: White people didn't go to Africa and capture the black people that were slaves. The other tribes in Africa captured and sold them to the white people.

    The bravest man of all, really, is Rev. Martin Luther King. He has risked his life not once, but countless times. We are the primary architects of our future destiny, and as such, can also be the physicians that are capable of initiating the healing process that our world so desperately is in need of. To myself as a citizen of the same world, I look forward to the time when the medication of brotherly understanding and respect begins to make its effect felt, and the world is on the road to good health! Peace.

You ppl are the most vile, disgusting ppl ever to walk the earth. We should have left you bastards in the Caucasus mountains and let you continue to roam like animals. Instead WE taught you how to be civilized and what do you do in return, what a white man always does, bite the hand that feeds him. Just like you did with the Native Americans, not Indians, NATIVE americans. You ppl are swine- filthy, stinky, nasty animals. Not fit to walk the earth. It's a new day bitch! That shit you ran on our ancestors won't fly here.

    Yeah, MLK was great….he was a preacher who ejoyed the fame. He enjoyed sleeping and paryting with prostitutes. What a great man! Shouldn't we celebrate someone with some real morals. It was Lincoln who signed the emancipation proclamation act. He did want to return everyone to Africa though. Oh, wasn't it the African people who sold their own people to America in the first place??? I'm sick of the whole black history month thing. Why can't we just have history? Different people did different things. Why can't we have White history month? Too racist? It's all a double standard!

  78. ambre says – reply to this


    78

    Re: Melody

    White history month is every month, silly girl! Dr. King was a man who had flaws like anyone else. What he tried to accomplish and his abiltity to remain non-violent is why he is celebrated. Nobody that has a holiday lived completely pure and without sin. God you ppl suck! You twist everything around to suit you. If you fucks hadn't been so evil and enslaved us, we wouldn't have so much hate for you. Yeah some Africans sold others off, but there is no excuse for the beating, the raping, the separation of families, forcing us to use only the English language, beating ppl for learning to read, etc. That is why I hate fucking guns ’cause if they never were invented, your ppl would never have been able to capture us and keep us enslaved for so long. We still have reason to hate you today. Just read all these bullshit comments that ppl post on a daily basis. Get the fuck out of here with your self-righteous attitude. Fact is white ppl, not all but most are evil and care for no one. Deal with it, accept it and figure out how to change it.

    I agree
    America is such a hypocritical country.
    They go around the world acting like the moral authority when they still have rampant racism, sexism, homophoba and anti-semitism in their country.
    I think the Americans should more closely focus on their problems and correcting them before they judge other countries.

    Based on the comments of this site and others like it America is the real Access of Evil. This country is full of hatred. And White Americans are the chiefs. They are the cancer that gets into a body and infects it. All you hear is white this /black that. Give me a break. When you die, and you will what will be your comments when your facing a real evil ambush? White America your words are fuel for the fire. Not all Whites, but the majority of them are hopeless,helpless and Evil, and yet they claim to read from the bible.Other countries laugh at the USA. So rich yet so hateful to their own fellow Americans, and for what? The color of a person skin. Did you have any control over the color of your skin? USA is so far behind. Come out of the 15th century Japan in other countries are passing u by.

    MLK was a good man. Sadly, neither Oprah, nor the majority of black people today have a single clue what he was really about. They pick and choose the parts of his ideology that suit their individual agendas and those parts are always the ones that give them license to pity themselves and blame white America for their every failure. The color of your skin has nothing to do with what you choose to do with your life. Most every black person I personally know is uneducated, unemployed, and unhappy BY CHOICE. (I'm talking actual people whom I know, not just some fabricated statistic) In my area, there is a MAJOR drug/crime problem due to the fact that so many blacks AND whites have made poor choices, deciding to try to make a living stealing and dealing instead of getting their lazy asses in school (or work) and EARNING the success they continuously accuse others of "stealing" from them. The only difference between the white thugs and the black thugs is that the whites know they are responsible for their own failures, while the blacks continue to say that the "white man" has "kept them down". I'm so sick and tired of hearing that bogus crap and MLK would despise it too.
