OlderAdrianne Curry: “Boycott Black History Month!”
The original America’s Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry is speaking out against Black History Month and cable network BET (Black Entertainment Television) on her MySpace. The 25-year-old reality TV star is married to Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady on The Brady Bunch. Leave your thoughts on her rant in the comments section! Here’s Adrianne’s post:
“This is gonna be hard guys. I LOVE the comedians on BET. I also LOVE the fact that they play my favorite show of all time, In Living Color. However, I do not believe in seperating ANY RACE in America. WE ARE AMERICANS! How dare we have Black History Month! In my eyes, the Native Americans deserve it MUCH more, seeing how we destroyed their ENTIRE SOCIETY. There are hardly any of them left! They also have been proven to have the WORST living conditions on their reservations. I want AN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH. One where we learn about EVERY race, ALL OF OUR LEADERS, EVERYONE! I think by having a month dedicated to one race, and not one for any other, is RACIST. Every fund set up to only help people of one race is SICK and RACIST.

Adrianne Curry: “Boycott Black History Month!”
Yes, I get it. Black people were slaves here once. You know what? That does suck some major balls, however, it is time to move the f*** on. Do we hear the Jews crying that they were made slaves for thousands of years? Do we hear them whine that they should OWN the pyramids in Egypt because THEY broke their backs making them? Do we hear them b**** and moan about Hitler, etc? (my hubby is a Jew)Nope, we dont. It’s time for us to UNITE AS ONE. I do not think that singling out one race, giving one race opportunities to go to college (I know a TON of poor white.asian, indian, american indian, etc etc that could use that too!), giving one race the EXCUSE to blame things on others for being whatever nationality they are, is a good way at making sure we NEVER kill racism.
I am over this s***. WE ALL CAME FROM ONE BLACK WOMAN FROM AFRICA, THAT is our EVE! It has been proven by science, and I stand by it. If any other race had a chanel dedicated to just them, we would think it was racist. If any other race demanded a month be set aside for ONLY them, they would be considered racist. I am NOT living by this double standard any longer.
Think I am racist? I am not. I know what racism is. I dated a guy named “Justin” in Junior high. Nothing serious, but I really liked him. He was the blackest of black…BEAUTIFUL skin, kinda like Alex Wek’s. He was handsome, and athletic, etc. I was called a nigger lover. But you know what? I was called that by a whole 2 people out of a school with HUNDREDS of students. THAT is why I am NOT buying this racist s*** anymore. Let us teach or children that there is NO DIFFERENCE! We are all human. I hope one day aliens land and try to kill us. Maybe THEN we would finally realize that WE are ONE.
So, I will no longer tune into BET. This is going to suck, but I do NOT like the idea of having a chanel for only 1 race. In the year 2007 in a country that is supposed to be the most advanced and equal. This is unexceptable! I will also no longer acknowledge Black History Month. Instead, I will see it the way that Morgan Freeman does (I have the quote at the bottom of my last blog on Obama/jesseJackson, and OJ). AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH! I will read/watch/and learn about ALL the people who made a difference in this country.
I am asking you ALL to join me. Black, White, Indian, Asian, Russian, Australian, etc etc…..lets be AMERICANS together! What happened to the African American community was AMERICAN HISTORY, not BLACK HISTORY. If you want to celebrate in a way that excludes others and singles one race out, count me the f*** out! I am soooo proud to be an American. I am SO proud that I have friends of every race, and none of us see each other as anything but what we are..people. Lets change Black History Month to 2 months of AMERICAN HISTORY. We will still learn about all the black leaders and people who made a difference….just not with the racist name of “Black History Month”. It has to start somewhere. I am going to do my part in making sure we are all treated EQUAL in a country that CLAIMS we are. NO MORE SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR ANYONE WITH ANYTHING!
It will never happen. At least, that is what many of you will say…FINE! My number one priority here is being able to die and know that I stood up for what I believed in, and that I did not add to the SEPERATION OF AMERICANS!! I love my country, I love the people in it. I love our history, good and bad. We should LEARN from it,not dwell in it and not move forward. That’s why I am done with this s***. You are all my brothers and sisters…..even if I think you suck ; ) As Bono said, “One life, with each other..sisters…brothers!”
Note:: Opinions are like a**holes, everyone…we all have em! Please, respect each other here…listen…even if you dont agree. No name calling. I have a confession…The topic here (black history month/BET) is not what my message was about… I just knew it would get a lot more attention if I used it as an example. My message is to BECOME ONE. AMERICANS, celebrate things as such, not label them this or that…Black History month should NOT go away…but it should have it’s name changed to AMERICAN HISTORY..and be made into a few months…to teach us EVERYTHING about our history…not just focus on one race. Yep, I have a hippie view of the world, and I dont care!! I am not saying to stop celebrating and remebering our history, good or bad. I AGREE that we need to teach MORE on american history concerning what we teach during “black History month”. I am not writing this to take away anything from anyone…we need MORE OF IT, but WITHOUT the race title!!!!

She is right. Why do african americans get their own radio station, channel, and month? If white people did that, they would be called racist!
SO MANY nations in the world at some point have been oppressed. They have gotten over it and gotten stronger. They have gotten over the past and learnt to live in harmony with the rest of the world, they do not want recompensation from people whos ANCESTORS created wars, slavery, concentration camps, and all the horrible things we AS A WORLD must live with.
WE should get over our ancestors idiocy, and move on AS ONE PEOPLE.
amazing, when some people try to give their opinion, without swear words, because the average, everyday adult doesn’t us cuss words when they talk, then you get some people who feel the only way they can express their opinions by cussing and sounding like a toilet. too many children think cussing, doing drugs and being in a gang, makes them a grown up.
MARY JANE BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER!
why is she making this a black and white issue im so over these racist antics.
see how people like to spread hate she is a racist at heart. she dissed tyra and she was the one who gave her a break. im not surprised she said this. there is a chinese month, native american month irish month there are so many ethnicities as well as regilions celebreated do ur own reasearch
INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING WHY DONT U HELP/PROMOTE OTHER CULTURES IN CELBRATING THEIR HEORES.
in my college maybe we just recognize people here at UCSC i dunno most of california does whether people like it or not. but she sure did get ppl bringing out their true racist tyrants didnt she. why dont people educate them selves and realize there are other ethnicities that have tv channels, chinese, spanish and hindu to be extact but then again im in los angeles area so we are pretty diverse. most tv stations are geared toward white people so i dont understand what people are talking about and whats with ppl saying they are over the guilt of slavery
WHO TOLD YOU TO FEEL GUILTY? slavery was not just in america but then again she kept it a black and white issue LEAVING OUT MILLIONS of other peoples suffering.
LOOK BEHIND THE NAME (JESUS)
AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!
LOOK BEHIND JESUS!
BOO White people.
CLOSE COMMENTS.
WOW!!! I love JustJared.com! Such a heated debate! And over the drunken ramblings of a under-educated, mediocre model!
Those(Americans) who are crying about how there aren’t months to celebrate the CONTRIBUTION of other cultures to American History obviously do not read, or pay attention to much attention to their surroundings. There are months and holidays that recognize,albeit poorly, the various cultures and races that are the make up of American society. How dare you, whomever you are, for wanting to do away with that. February is Black History month not because it’s the shortest month of the year, but because it is the month Fredrick Douglass, the grandfather of the Civil Rights movement(mentality) was born. READ PEOPLE!!
Whether it be, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Hispanic History Month, Asian Pacific History Month, Thanksgiving, Cesar Chavez Day, St. Patricks’s Day, MLK Day, we all should take the time out to honor and recognize the contributions these cultures and the others that don’t have a month, day. If we do away with these days then that is a reason to act as if everyone is the same. We are not. We need to honor and appreciate these differences. That is what will, hopefully, eradicate racism in America, and around the world. We are all different, embrace those differences. Don’t be afraid of them or ignore them. It is an innate thing for a person to want to be recognized. That is why we have Susan B. Anthony’s and MLK’s, or Alexander Graham Bell, or George Washington. Regardless of race, creed, color, or sex, recognize and honor the contributions of these people and the others that are in history books, and are soon to be discovered. Stop crying over some crazy ass ignorant woman who’s claim to fame is F***ing Peter Brady. I’m sorry, did I say that?
I 10000000000000000000000000% AGREE! i have thought this for years. why should only blacks get attention? NO FAIR… and it IS racist.

I agree with her. Being a part of another minority (Indian), I never understood why one race gets a whole month for themselves while my race and many other minority races don’t even get acknowledged of their contribution to this society.

It’s great that there is Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Hispanic History Month, Asian Pacific History Month, Thanksgiving, Cesar Chavez Day, St. Patricks’s Day, MLK Day.
But how come White history month is not included? Is it because the African Americans would stab theirselves in the eye and scream RACISM if there was a day to celebrate the White American.

Stop trying to twist my words and make things look completely different, I’m not stalking you. I’m not putting up with your sh*t and you can’t handle it. Obiviously you are not able to deal with people on a human basis, you talk to them like dogs and I am not going to give any more satisfaction, so go ahead and call me whatever you will or talk down to me, it WILL NOT bother me considering the source its coming from.
The reason there is racism is this world is because of people like you!

SO, YOU MIGHT WANT TO WAKE UP, BECAUSE RACISM IS ALL AROUND! YOU CAN SUGAR COAT IT ALL DAY, BUT WHEN THE SUGAR FLAKES OFF, YOU WILL HAVE REALITY IN FRONT OF YOU..NOW STEP OFF!
