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.”

“our”!?! LOVE ANGELINA’s BLACK?!? WTF! cant be.. aint no black women that crazy. lmao
I understand what she is trying to get at. But she is going about it in the wrong way. And it is making her look like a total jacka$%. Before she decides to boycott something. She needs to get her fact right. And that is all I am going to say about her and her lame boycott.
“Black History to me would be everything that happened in AFRICA.”
What the hell is that sentance??? This just proves that Adrienne Curry is a BIGGER schmock than I first thought!
NO B*TCH, Black History month is about all of the BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS that Black people put in this country and were NEVER recognize!
Black History is for us to remember the Heroes who have been neglected because they are black, while you PRAISE the SYPHILLIS, Gonhorrea, stink C*ck LOWLIFE Christopher Columbus after he and his GOONS slaughtered the American Indians. Columbus NEVER discovered America! How can you discover a place that is already inhabited??
Black History is for the Hundreds of Thousands of Africans who were thrown off the boats when they were too heavy, when they were disobedient or when they had to be thought a lesson. If one was thrown over, tens and twenties drowned at a time.
I am saddened that this C*NT was able to even go to Africa and instead of becoming a human being, she decides to be a racist opportunist!
Why can’t this garbage O.D. already? B*tch is taking up space!
Just goes to show, any tool with a computer can think they are smart.
ADRIENNE WILL NEVER GET IT!!
P.S. I am really hoping that her Jewish man would get himself a lynching, let’s see what this ***** will have to say.. I notice that people never seem to get things unless it happens to them.
shes a racist *****. thats pretty obvious here! she didnt even clarify anything
Omigosh number 34!! i cant beleive how racist u are! i am a ”white person’ and i am ashamed to be after what you just said! you feel bad for the ’select few intelligent black people’??!?! u need to crawl outta the rock you live under! this is 2007! not the 1960’s! get over your racism! your comment actually disgusts me.
your parents must be so proud
@ #32
Everything this woman is saying is all shades of wrong!
All it would take is education.
#1 If Adrienne could get the American government to teach real history to the students, then there would be no need for black history.
#2 BET was created decades ago to showcase African american talent that was otherwise not seen on TV. I literally have about 50 Spanish Language channels (even Spanish HBO).. I also have Russian, Hindi, Korean, and Arabic channels. I sometimes peruse them looking for similarities and wondering if I could figure out what they are saying..
Doesn’t this slag realize that it is our differences that make us who we are? What kind of society would we have if all black people sounded alike or if we ate the same things or thought like “AMERICANS” whatever that means? There would be no creativity, no room for emerging evolution…
If Adrienne were sincere, she would ask for ACCEPTENCE.. FOR US TO RESPECT EACHOTHER. Instead she is looping on Stereotypes created by a RACIST order! Adrienne is another member of white society that has fallen victim to JIM CROW!
Why is anyone giving this VERMIN an outlet to spread her bile?
Ya know, I was born and raised in Africa…South Africa to be precise. The Apartheid regime has completely reversed…but I cannot excuse what Simon van der Stel and his cronies did.Honestly, as cliched as this sounds, my true hero is Madiba (Nelson Mandela). Dr Chris Barnard performed the first heart transplant so I have much respect for the work he did and the hours he spent pouring over Medical Journals. One difference: Madiba is black and Dr Barnard was white. Madiba enrolled in home-study university and became a lawyer - all the whole sitting in Robben Island and Poolsmoor prison. I take ny hat off to him.
Dr Barnard was priveleged to be have funding provided for his medical degree.
Once Madiba was releasrd from prison, almost EVERY SINGLE black person believed that Mr. Mandela would find then jobs and luxury housing at the drop of the hat.
I am saying that this black and white issue has become waaaaay out of control.
My house has been broken into FIVE times, four while I was home! Luxkily I had Armed Response on my speed dial.I felt guilty…thought I was becoming a racist, but seriously, unless you live in Africa for an extended period of time, please just remember that it’s not always black and white.
Oh, BTW, I’m a white woman in my mid-twenties and my hubby was only here for one of the break-ins.
I say screw it all and have a “UNITED States of America” day.
Adrianne sweetheart… you NEED to learn a few things in life that might not have much to do w/ black history.. You need to always think twice before you do/say anything.
I happen to be african… To live in africa for a mere 5 months and say something this ignorant and unbelievably stupid is more of a reflection of you than anything else…
“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!”.
I lived in Africa for 19 years and the history, culture, tradition, beauty is immesurable. That said, there are many ugly things too.
Do NOT make judgement on africa based on remanants of colonization you chose to pick on your short visit. How dare you say “THAT is African”?
Educate yourself sista! That said…. I don’t think 1 month a year dedicated to black history is too much to ask. I don’t celebrate it, but it doesn’t affect me that it means something to someone else. Then why are there Xmas and all those religious holidays and yet all Americans are not Xtian? I don’t celebrate them either but you don’t hear muslims saying Xmas should be banned.
Learn to have differences in life instead of lighting a fire.
She should have stopped while she was still behind… An ass of herself - the picture is getting clearer the more she ’speaks’ ‘blogs’ - shut up all ready!
i see all the intellectual and educated, ahem, adults are back. showing their wisdom and high word usage. NOT! i see mostly childish potty mouths, who need to brush their teeth with tidy bowel. real adults can hold interesting debates, without using such vulgar words. see, here’s the thing. anyone can have their own opinion. doesn’t make them wrong and doesn’t make them right either. it is their own opinion and america has assured everyone, their right to have their own. i don’t take in to any consideration, comments with childish rants and raves. where i have to hold my nose, so i don’t have to deal with such potty mouth comments. and again, this is my opinion.
she’s an idiot. Africa in a continent not a country. How is South African history relevant for someone not from South Africa. It’s like saying all Americans should know Candian history because it’s part of North Americans. Moron shut-up.
magnus is a @sshole, ignore his racist ass! obviously he is one of those wimpy b*stards that hides behind his computer, and grins in the black man face! His true intentions are that of a racist! Adrianne didn’t have it right, she isn’t right, and magnus you are barking up the wrong tree, hick, you don’t want to start sh*t that your p*ssy ass is going to run from! I feel bad for the White people that are not racist, because this @sshole just set your race back a couple of years with his vile sh*t! I hate to break it to you MAGNUS, but not all white people are smart, and they can be dumb just like anyone else, another color, so dummy go back to the drawing board, and make sure that it is BLACK!
You children do realize? That using cuss words, doesn’t make you an adult. An adult can get a job and apartment. They meet someone and get married and have children. They pay their bills on time and put food in the cupboards. Clothes on their and their children’s backs. Have one or two cars parked in front of their house. They usually work nine to five and pick up a paycheck. Or, go to college and have a career. They go on vacations, after earning vacation pay and time. They send their children to school and teach them to be responsible adults. They make house, car, and insurance payments. Plus, they pay taxes, and or capital gains and house and property tax.
I gotta say, as a minority myself, I do agree with the jist of what she is saying. Sometimes focusing only on the differences that different races and cultures have, only causes more problems. By emphasizing how different you are because of your race only helps to reinforce racism because you are separating yourself from everyone else who is not of your race. I know that I certainly don’t want to focus on how different I am supposed to be because of my color. Sure, there are cultural things that I relate to but I don’t need it to play into EVERY aspect of my life. We are all people who bleed the same color and we have one planet that we need to share. If we looked at ourselves as global citizens the world would be a very different place.
you have to care magnus! I know that this is the only rise that you can get..ok now you can go to back to your cage like a good mutt!
and it isn’t just my month, it is EVERYBODY MONTH whether you like it, or not! Whereever you work at, you celebrate it! Now that is funny for a racist like you! This isn’t a problem, you are the problem to your own people! While others are trying to say that we shouldn’t have racism in the world, you are saying the opposite!
So I think that you are one twisted c*nt, and what you say hick really doesn’t amount to a hill of beans! Keep trucking!
By the way, even though I did just say that I agree with her overall argument, I have nothing against BET or Black History Month. The history of all the people who came to America should be taught and remembered. I just agree that we need to stop separating ourselves from each other so much and realise that underneath the skin color we are the same.

Nobody but black people even notice when it’s black history month anyway.
Your poverty stricken upbringing has nurtured you into a magnificent example of typical black America.
You like to ***** and barf out sound bites but when it comes down to it there isn’t a real thought in your head.
Black n proud…hell your name is even racist.
Why can’t you be proud of something else?
Answer: because you have nothing else. If you’re not proud to be black you’re just out of options.
Do yourself a favour and do something with your life that you can be proud of. Being proud of your race is a f*cking joke.
magnus
if only black people paid attention to BHM, we wouldn’t be having this discussion! BOY O BOY are you stupid!
White people are proverty stricken also, what about trailer trash, farmhands, hill billies, they are also proverty stricken, you are not making any sense…meth addict!
i don’t think mt name is racist, I am black and proud of my heritage, so you can shove it!
and you never asked me what I am proud of, How do you know that I am not proud of anything else? Your attempt to assume that I am not proud of anything else was totally off, so try again dummy!
You can’t tell me about myself, You are not a physic, you are not me, so you can save your typical white man speech, because you are a stupid jack@ss!
And of course a hick like you would say something like that, Because you have nothing to be proud of, you are a loner that has issues, why don’t you just kill yourself right now, and then it would be one less prick that we would have just walken over anyway! I know that you get walke dover constantly, your true colors came through over the cyber world! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOo at you! back to the cage now, stinkin mutt!
walked over…
piece of dog sh*t! You shouldn’t take pride in saying we done anything, you are a joke, and you are making your race sound like a joke!
does that MFA stands for MUTHAF*CKIN @SSHOLE? it should!
she’s such a dumbass… nobody would even be listening to what this ***** was saying if a BLACK WOMAN didn’t give her a career. it’s amazing.. but you know what, the 11 other months out of the year have holidays devoted to celebrating everyone else and all of our white presidents. hell black history month is even shared with two WHITE presidents. she needs to get over herself, and i mean even our MLK day in January is a CIVIL RIGHTS day for EVERY race.
41 N> couldn’t have said it better myself!! her stupidity just puts me at a loss of words.
this is like the divide between the blacks and whites regarding the OJ case. Majority of blacks said OJ innocent and cheered his verdict regarding the murder of his wife. A majority of whites looked like they were gob smacked when the verdict came down. They couldn’t bleive he got away with it. Regarding racism - I think the blacks keep it going much more than whites. Bet if you surveyed this board you would have a majority of blacks saying she is talking through her rear end and a majority of whites saying what she says has a lot of merit.

LMAO! What the HELL are you talking about??? Your post has nothing to do with this thread topic. And please, stop trying to preach. Get off your high horse, tuts, because adults can use cuss words and it doesn’t make them any less “adult”.
Africa’s history = Black History??? Um, no. She sounds dumber than she did yesterday. She needs to stop posting this crap before she makes a bigger fool out of herself (if that’s possible).
Oh my God, just shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I think she made a point there.
***** really needs to shut the **** up. She does not know what she is talking about.
Does she not know that its spelled “CHANNEL” and not “CHANEL”? Stupid ho!!
@Guyshia:

Watch and shut the **** up.
i totally get what she means…
to those who doesn’t…too bad!
she was just merely expressing her thoughts on her blog….not advocating them…just like how we always have this mind game with ourselves!
blog is a place where u can rant to yourself and to others who might want to share their views with the thinker….
