Adrianne 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!!!!

Well, she said nothing against Hispanic Heritage months or mention any one of the Latin races during her entire spill. So I guess my hertiage month as a Latino in the United States is in no danger of her rampage. As well Telemundo and Univision are still OK to air on TV. She wants this unity but she did pretty much seperate races as much as possible in her spill. What a D-Rated celebrity trying to get on TV.

Somehow ignorant white people have painted themselves as victims when a Black person or Black community celebrate their uniqueness. I guess that is how twisted they culture is. Diversity is what makes a society rich with ideas. On one hand you have cultural diversity, on the other you have the seeds of fascism. There has never been one culture on the face of this earth that has not had exchange with other cultures. There is no one culture that the world should become - or perhaps some people would like there to be Fox News all the time and only McFood for our diets.

I’m sure those who are attacking Black culture and uniqueness, are also against the UN (you guys are all so predictable). But nonetheless, the UN has a declaration on cultural diversity . In fact some say that cultural diversity is like bio-diversity - it will help the human race survive. In other words, if humans were plants, and white people are say dandelions, then nature wouldn’t survive if there were only dandelions. Diversity is the basis of life.

Here is what the UN says: all cultures can express themselves and make themselves known. Freedom of expression, media pluralism, multilingualism, equal access to art and to scientific and technological knowledge, including in digital form, and the possibility for all cultures to have access to the means of expression and dissemination are the guarantees of cultural diversity.

Article 7 - Cultural heritage as the wellspring of creativity. Creation draws on the roots of cultural tradition, but flourishes in contact with other cultures. For this reason, heritage in all its forms must be preserved, enhanced and handed on to future generations as a record of human experience and aspirations, so as to foster creativity in all its diversity and to inspire genuine dialogue among cultures.

Hugo I acknolwedge your statements. Cool.

Magnus, the Jews have white skin, so your argument makes no sense.

Adam, only white is right, huh? Everybody else is a beast? And you are pathetic.

Magnus, Adam and other racists shouldn’t be responded to. The rest of the intelligent, decent people who are offering an honest debate are fighting a losing battle because racists are NOT people to debate with. Their hatred is etched in stone. You can’t change a child molester’s desires and you can’t change a racist’s heart. Only God can do that. If they don’t change, they will certainly ************ when the world is at its end, so I don’t worry about them. They’ve got it coming.

Mia honey, what was that you just said, i am having a hard time reading that!

Please shut up! thank you, you appear to be a broken record! Thank you!

NO, you have it backwards..you people are from the reptile family!
that is why you can withstand 30 degree temp. while jogging in a short sleeve shirt, and shorts..I know..i have seen it done before, hell that may be why your skin becomes saggy at the age of 25! who knows! Look at how pamela anderson look now, and she is only 39! Let me see…hmmmm HALLE BERRY is 41, I know that she is half n half, but the fact is BLACK DON’T CRACK!

I read her comment and it was filled with ignorance. As a black woman of Nigerian descent, I was very bothered by her comments. Like someone said on here, if it wasn’t for a black woman (Tyra), there will not be this has been. I wonder what Tyra might think of her nasty, ignorant, and racist comment.

This crap she says about “I dated a black guy” is complete garbage. It is the typical comment a white person who said ignorant comments about one race, says just to justified that the person is not a racist. I hate it when people make that lame comment.If that was the case, what is the POINT of making the comment? You know what I mean?

I am TIRED of this woman.She is ugly, trashy and patheic and needs to go away.

BTW, I never posted a comment on here. I just read and I love the site! :)

NEW ADRIANNE POST!

{I agree with her. It’s funny how black people can have BET and it is not racist. If there is a white entertainment channel, all other races will jump up to protest. Any activity,fund,organization etc. sets up for people of one race is racist. Black people make themselves different and separated from other races by playing race card in everything from getting job, being fired, going to jail, being arrested etc. }

Wow, it looks like someone needs diversity training.

And there isn’t a need for a White Entertainment Channel because if you look at the four majors (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX–omitting the CW on purpose) you’ll see that their programming lacks diversity. They are all White Entertainment Channels. It’s why organizations have to release studies each year showing that TV is not reflecting the makeup of this country.{

{As a Chinese, I don’t cry about the Japanese torturing my great-grandpa during WW II, I don’t whine about Chinese being used as free labour buring Gold Rush Era…}

Of course you don’t e, because you’re ignorant of your history. No one says you should whine but you should REMEMBER.

And “admonisher” just shut up.

This is just a sad publicity stunt. However I think a diversity history month (in place of Black History Month (Feburary) and Women’s History Month (March) ) would be a good idea :)

I celebrate who i am EVERDAY,what could be racist about I N I feeling good about who we are?

Shut up all you asians! the mojority in america is blacks and whites and some hispanics and they have a month yes hispanics have a month so all you asians shut up your not the mojority!

“This whole thread is a testament to how far black people have fallen and it’s entirely their own fault. You never should have been given the chance to be our equals because you’re obviously not.”

…. spoken like a true racist. I shudder that anyone could have so much hatred in them for other human beings. Ugh. It’s unbelievable!

Jared's Mom @ 09/24/2007 at 2:23 am

If you guys want your own month of celebration, go through the same outlets that the people who brought forth Black History Month. Don’t post here, and say you feel isolated in America because you don’t have one month of your own to celebrate your race. Go out, and get it done what you want.

There are three types of people in this word: those who sit by, and watch as things happen; those who run up, late, saying, “What just happened!?,” and those who make things happen. Are you a doer or a sayer? If you want a month to celebrate your race, go out, and get it done, don’t post here and complain.

Black History was created so that the truth about black accomplishment would be taught! Google Black History to learn about its origins.

All I can say is that Adrianne needs to buy herself a clue and come to realise the essence of black history month and the reasoning behind it……

Sorry, i agree with her! What about a CET ( chinese television) or an IET ( Indian) or WET? Why a black history month? Why are they so important?

This woman has clearly not thought through her opinons. Blacks as a whole do not look upon BET as a cultural channel representing their heritage or their people. BET would be better off calling themselves Hip Hop culture channel or not have a name at all (WKTV channel 36 or something). Not every black person in America watches BET and celebrates Black History Month. Most of those people who do watch BET and celbrate Black History Month are those who are doing what is common in human nature; to associate themselves with those people who are common to their lifestyle or culture. I do think that there is racism in America though, on both sides Black and White. However, those whites who think that blacks complain about being repressed are representative of a whole are highly misconstrued. Every race has individuals who do not attempt to better themselves in life, however, the problem arises in the fact that some American Blacks claim that slavery and cultural opression has held them back from a better lifestyle. Every or the largest majority have an opportunity to go to school, have a chance to make good decisions, have a chance to hold a job, etc. What I dont understand is why a majority of Black Americans choose to not pursue education and make good scholastic decisions. Now dont get me wrong, I know there are a lot of Black Americans who do go to college, but I also know that there are many who choose to quit on an education when that is probably the only ticket they have to a better life. Im a white student who attends a HBCU and I dont see any black students at the school who are into drugs, violence, or much less who want to live in a poverish lifestyle. Im not a racist, but come on, everyone knows that whenever you turn on the news or whenever someone gets arrested its probably a Black man. Is it some kind of racist conspiracy that the cops are in on? Or is it the decisions that those individuals are making?? Answer the question truthfully. Please respond to this message. Let me know if you think im racist, or if I just dont understand.

Have we learned nothing from Jim Crowe? Separate is NEVER equal.

Sorry you people can aggree with her all you want.. the fact remains.. you can any type of month you want but we have and will keep black history month. somebody mentioned what about “american History month” well you know thats everyday… everyday… from the beginning of time..thats why their is black history month so you are taught about more than just american history.. so cry all you want.. its here to stay

African Americans and black people worldwide face constant discrimination compared with others. Asians, Indians, Mexicans, Jewish people - face discrimination and trials, but not nearly as much. It has always been like that. If they are not given something like Black History Month, others will try to wipe them out. They will attempt to take away their rights. So these measures are in place to give them a voice and some power.

Whites don’t need more power or to be reminded of who they are and what accomplishments they have achieved. People who think that are being fed a crock of bull****. We don’t need White History Month because the white race is not threatened.

All minorities should have a month. It would not bother me. They should all celebrate.

Some things in life, if you are not black, you will never understand (period)

If this thread has proven anything, it’s that Ms. Curry isn’t the only one who needs to educate herself before she spouts off.
