Can you believe this woman?<\/p>\n

1) She denounces marriages between “black” men and “white” women when she’s nearly white herself (see picture in original article). <\/p>\n

2) She fears “interracial” marriage but want to claim the 1\/8 African but completely Russian Alexander Pushkin for the “black race.” <\/p>\n

3) In her parody of GONE WITH THE WIND, entitled THE WIND DONE GONE, she uses a light mulatto elite lady as her heroine AND puts the fatal “black blood” in Scarlett O’Hara. These people are supposed to represent “blacks” or “African Americans.”<\/p>\n

4) She is one of the fanatical supporters of the “one drop” myth who try to reconcile their combined hatred and adoration for “whites” by creating a false “black” history that consists of nothing more than claiming “whites” for the “black race” (especially “whites” who are already honored by other “whites”).<\/p>\n

5) No one in the media will EVER point out her contradictions.<\/p>\n

\nmany black athletes will only choose white women?” <\/p>\n

Then she got personal. “My ex-husband, when he remarried, he married someone white,” she said. “What does that say to my daughter about the attractiveness of black girls?” <\/p>\n

With that, she detonated the kind of lively discussion she was looking for. Nodding, a woman said, “Look at who our men marry, while our attractive professional women \u2014\u2014” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
