OlderAdrianne Curry: Ban Black History Month (Part Deux)
Former America’s Next Top Model Adrianne Curry is back for more after her very controversial “Ban Black History Month and BET” rant. Here is her “rebuttal” via her MySpace:
“Rebuttal to my Black History blog
Yep, I gotta try to clarify a few things here.
Firstly, I just want to apologize for how random my thoughts were in my last blog. I wrote what I did just minutes after a long heated discussion on the topic. I can hardly read the thing, it’s so damn random!
I think it is HORRIBLE that people misunderstood my message. Just because I wanted to stop separating races, doesn’t mean I want to STOP TEACHING HISTORY! Or schools need to teach MORE of ALL of it anyway! I was asking that we not name things to separate ourselves. I never claimed we shouldn’t learn our own history, or that of all the other countries on earth (which we as Americans are pretty bad at). I am very aware of all the amazing things hat black people have done for our country, and we should always be aware of it. However, separating our races sounds like racism to me. It just does. So go ahead, claim I am the one who is ignorant for wanting us all to be EQUAL! Can you believe that? How does that make a f***ing lick of sense? Honor your heritage, I know I do. Just make sure that by doing so, you do not seperate yourself from the rest of us! Black History to me would be everything that happened in AFRICA. I lived there for almost 5 months. Visted Robin Island, and saw the cell they held Nelson Mandela in. I witnesses first hand people calling these taxi vans “Black Taxis” and these nice taxi’s “white taxis”. Just vile.THAT is African(black if you will) history. African AMERICAN history is OUR history!

Adrianne Curry: “Boycott Black History Month!”
Yes, there was a time when racism ran rapid. It still does in some places. However, it is time for us to rise above it and BECOME ONE, instead of SOME. I wrote my last blog in such hurry and a fury because I felt what I was typing so deeply. I am appalled that anyone would claim I am just some stupid white b**** that doesn’t know s*** about anything. I did NOT grow up rich. I did NOT hang out with rich people. Watch the show “Roseanne” and you tell ME if that family seemed well off. That is just about where I came from. My family is blue collar all the way! Just because I worked hard to get where I am it means I don’t know how hard it is to LIVE LIFE? I was addicted to drugs, raped, abused, beaten, etc. I DO NOT DWELL ON IT! I choose to rise above it! I have been beaten up for being “the white girl” a few times, so don’t tell me I don’t know how it feels to be discriminated against.
My message about trying to rise above segregation, separation, and racism has been twisted. Some people are saying I am RACIST for wanting all races to embrace each other! You’re a f***ing dumbass if that is what you think! Again, let me make this clear, I DO NOT SUPPORT THE SEPERATION OF RACE IN THIS COUNTRY, ANY RACE. I DO NOT SUPPORT CHANELS OR FUNDS THAT SEPARATE RACE, HENCE ADDING TO RACISM! I never claimed to STOP teaching history that involves black people, I asked to STOP BEING RACIST BY SEPERATING GROUPS BY RACE! Truly educate yourselves on the true definition of segregation.
I enjoy sharing my thoughts here. Some people like it, and some people don’t. I come from an incredibly political family. (I am a Democrat). I enjoy a heated debate. I didn’t mean to “single out” only the black months/funds/channels. It was more of an example of how NO RACE should attempt to separate itself in such a way that ADDS to the problem with racism. Stop singling people out, and maybe…just maybe, the future will be full of people that were NEVER raised thinking people are so different because of their skin.
I wrote about what I did because I care. It makes me physically ill knowing that there are people that are still so closed minded out there that they hate someone because of their skin. My hope is that one day we will all wonder how anyone could have done that. I think that we need to teach MORE history in our schools. Of course, even more world history. I also think we should be more aware of what is happing in other countries. Of everywhere I have been on Earth, America shows the least news on what’s happing outside our “world”.
This felt good. I feel like I have got my point across better this time. I need to learn to relax on my impulse and calm down before I share. ; ) My Boo always tells me that. Thanks for listening.”

still stupid
I don’t care if she’s racist or not…Just SHUT.UP, you fug bimbo.
Amen!!!
Please it stop already!!!
Poor Tyra, if only she knew what kind of idiot this famew*hore was she never would have won ANTM.
Oh Adrianne, SHUT UP ALREADY.
Oh she is fug, she stole ANTM from Shannon. She clearly didn’t deserve it and her lack of work proves my point.
firsttttt.
spank me baby!
Yeah she needs to just shut up. I dont even want to get on my soap box.
What exactly did she clarify!? That she is even more ignorant then originally stated. I mean c’mon she has no education, she is an ex drug addict famous for basically being a hoe and marrying a kid from The Brady Bunch. I value not one thing she says. Laughable! Carry on…
i agree with many of her comments i just do not agree with the qay she went about it
wait she says we shouldn’t be separate, and then she turns around, and says honor your heritage? what the hell is she really saying? it sounds like she doesn’t know her ass from a hole in the ground!
whatever, she is full of sh*t! the reason why she changed her mind, and what the hell she said is because on her MYSPACE, people were dogging her out! (CLICK ON THE NAME TO SEE IT)I see that she did not once mention BET, so of course she changed it! And just because you grew up poor, doesn’t mean that she is racist! BHM isn’t bothering anyine, it is honoring DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, and all of the other people that have died, trying to make sure that we as black people have equal rights. It has nothing to do with separation, untill some white people stop thinking that they are suprior to black people racism will never end!
isn’t racist!
Still clueless on what it means to be a member of a minority, or the part that racism plays in harming the hearts and minds of their children. Clueless in the fact that pride is important for the survival of cultures that are being depressed by the white majority. There is an old saying that she needs to try. “Walk a mile in their shoes.” And that is not accomplished by living in Africa for five months as an outsider/one of the privileged.
I am white but have lived as a member of a minority, and I can see the problem from both sides. But let me say that I have more empathy for the minorities than I do the “just ignore it/get over it” crowd. Just as an abused child has problems “getting over” the abuse when they become adults, abused people (including the Jewish) have a problem getting past the injustices they have suffered; and in some cases still have ways they are not “equal” to the majority group. And although it is not always “whites” that impose this abuse and injustice to others, in this country (and other colonized lands) it has been the Europeans that have destroyed the original cultures. JMHO
let this fcuking lame go back into obscurity! she’s running her fingers for this reason only - attention.
its a real sucker move to post everything she writes on her myspace page. i hope this will be the last we hear/read about her.
lol actually now that everytime i see her picture all i can do is laugh cuz she’s so damn pathetic!!
ho
Just a mess up fool. She needs to shut the hell up and end her career already. She should just go. The damage is done.
HAHA DAMAGE CONTROL!!
I think that she is stupid! Her boycott against BET, I hope BET sues her ass!
I kind of agree with her in alot of ways although I can see both sides of the story. I am also a little tired of racism from anyone who uses it. Either you are an American or you are not. It is not Latino-American, African-American, Scottish-American, Asian-American, we are ONE America that exists far better multi-culturally than any other country in the world. I honor my heritage by cooking ethnic meals and by reading about it to further mine and my family’s own knowledge. My wise father used to say, “if you have to keep talking or bragging on something then you don’t really own it”.
Why anyone would even listen to her is beyond me.
She needs to stop talking and start reading.
I love that she’s now trying to dig herself out of the grave with the new blog.
the lying b*tch also claims to be a rape survivor, drug addict and says she was molested as a child but ‘got over it.’ Firstly, when you claim to be a victim of something on a website, then you’re f*cking lying for attention and sympathy
I wish someone would put a c*ck in her mouth and keep it there so she’d shut the f*ck up on further topics she knows f*ck all about. Would someone please send a virus to her computer.
You Go Girl!! I like this girl! So intelligent! Morgan Freeman says the concept of a month dedicated to black history is “ridiculous.” at the interview with CBS “60minutes”.
He also said “the only way to get rid of racism is to “stop talking about it. I am going to stop calling you a white man and I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man,”
Stop talking about it, after all we are all different and are in the same planet. This is girl is damn right!
She’;s a stupid cuntrag!
O.K., the first time I read about her boycotting Black History Month, I could not stop laughing from how stupid her argument was but this second part makes it all the more funny. Why should Black History Month only include what happened in Africa?? As African-Americans, most do not know where they are from in Africa so they have no ties to any particular area other than knowing they are from somewhere on the western coast. Black History Month symbolizes the struggles that African Americans have overcome and are still struggling with. Come on, it is the shortest month and one of the coldest months in the year, throw us a freaking bone here! It wouldn’t make sense to have White History Month because one, they are not an oppressed people and secondly, it would just sound wrong! She should really stick with what she knows, smiling for the pretty birdy behind the camera!
WTF?!!! She didn’t clarify sh!t.
Still stupid. Black History month does honor our heritage. I don’t think Africa has anything to with Black history in America. That all changed when Black people were brought here as slaves. As far as I am concerned our history is all over and the woman is still an idiot.
