Adrianne 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.”

That’s why there’s a thing called, “Think before you say” You dumb ****. I think you need to learn it, live it and love it. The things that come out of your mouth make you look like an idiot. I remember you when you were on America’s next top model…didn’t like you then and especially don’t like you now.

@Point: Totally agree with you!
I live in a country where it’s perfectly okay to celebrate our diversity. We celebrate everything - the Indian Diwali Festival of Lights, the Chinese Lantern Festival, Scottish Festival, the Maori and Pacific Island Festival, Latina Festival, the Taste of Africa Festival, Night of the Poms (English Festival), Jambalaya Festival (African), Festival of Irish Culture (centred around St Patricks Day), FrenchFest etc etc…although we’re all proudly unique in our cultures and way of life, we are still one nation under God! We enjoy and have a taste of the cuisine, fashion, music, art, languages, customs and traditions that each culture has brought to our country. We embrace the diversity as it has enriched our lives (and our pantries)! We like our multicultural country…we’re one people…just different colours that’s all! Peace…
hey guess what!

God DAMN you’re f*cking stupid.
No wonder all you have to be proud of is your race (which makes you a genuine RACIST!!!!!!!).
Just like the month you love so much.
Hence this whole session of me making you look like a f*cking tool.
so should we cancel hispanic heritage month as well?
stupid *****.
She needs to just shut up and read some books and try to educate herself. He grammar is atrocious, she knows nothing about history and doesn’t her computer at least have spell-check? I might forgive her all that if I thought she was just dumb but there is dumb and there is stupid! She is really stupid and she IS racist! And oh yeah-I’m white and very ashamed to even read a rant like that! What a *****. Trailer trash!!
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what she’s saying, I’ve read the 2 comments that she made, and some of the comments made by the readers here and on her MySpace, and honestly I don’t see the problem is or why it has generated such rage towards her comment…
I think she actually has a good point, and I say this maybe from a more objective point of view because I don’t live in the US anymore. I´ve traveled a lot, and I have never been in a country where racism is so palpable as it is in the United States.Racism starts when you signal someone else as “different”, even when you’re doing it presumably for the good reasons, the simple fact that you’re separating people, categorizing them, is racist, because by doing so, you’re denying that we are all equals. And I think that was her point, maybe with a bad example, but a valide point after all, because once you’ve live outside the US, and have seen that those categorizations are not often found in other countries, you realize why most americas are often called racists, no matter their colors or features.
well magnus it should stand for muthaf*ckin @sshole! that is what you are, and that name fits you well!
blah blah blah
yeah, i know that you are jealous of my race, and that is all that you can say..Ok we get it..some beautiful black woman..broke your scrawny heart, well GOOD FOR HER! So now you are bitter as they come, babe go suck on hog malls..because your sh*t stink!
and you are a tool! dumb@ss! I hope that you don’t think that you sound highly educated, because I hate to break it to you, you sound like the dumb white trash that you are! NEXT!
Magnus, you’re the tool. You thought only black ppl were poverty stricken, how foolish are you?
Stupid ass *****! It is Robben Island and not Robin Island and visiting the cell where Nelson Mandela was held, doesn’t teach you **** about Africa. This girl should be put away for being stupid and ignorant.
People, people you all need to calm down. First of all one should not be degraded based on the level of education. Whether or not she graduated college she has the right to speak her mind, afterall, we have free speech in this country. Secondly, whether she was able to state her opinions properly or not, the bottom line is, she’s only stating that seperation should not exists between all americans, whether you are white, black, asian, hispanics or whatever the color of your skin is. In our country the seperation exists because we choose to divide our races. Why do we need to say someone is black african american, asian america, mexican american? Seriously, if you are born in the U.S. or have been naturalized then you are american and the United States is your country and home.Period.
The jokes on all of you people responding to her (including me). That you are actually taking her seriously enough to respond. Next week she’ll talk about religion and we will all have another heated discussion about that because we all know her opinion matters.
It is naive to say “we are all the same under the skin” when racism is MIND SET. It is LEARNED, it is PASSED DOWN, and in many cases, it is ACCEPTABLE. Adrienne, and others, can say they want America to be united all they want but it does not change what this country was founded upon. The same way a house will fall apart if built on sand, America was founded off the backs of minorities who were torn down and abused, mentally, physically, sexually and emotionally to justify why whites treated us all like less than dogs.
If you are anti-racist, practice it and pass THAT down to your children and grandchildren, preach it and live it, but don’t make statements like the ignorant and naive ones Adrienne made, statements born from her white privilege (which she was because if she had gone further in her modeling career, she would have received many, many, many more assignments and opportunities than minority models–a problem that was why Tyra founded ANTM!!), a privilege that allows her to walk into a store and not be tailed or given a snooty look. A privilege that allows her husband to drive practically anywhere he chooses without fear of police pulling him over because he is black or latino. A privilege that allows her to live in a penthouse and not assumed to be the maid by the doorman. A privilege that allows all of the white Presidential candidates to be treated like men and not like a “black candidate” the way Barack Obama is.
My main issue with her is that she stirred to the pot of “who had it worse”, which is a common tactic of bigots, whether they are aware of it or not (which she doesn’t seem to be considering the idiotic statement that she dated a black guy and two black girls e.e).

Sorry but it still sounds like the first time to me, the young person is clearly not understanding that we know that the problem still exists and that other countries are quite different, I lived in Germany 8 years and I loved it and except for the concept that some white americans gave the Germans it was great. They said (white americans)black people had tails and were painted black for war times or something like that. Clearly you have to walk in someone shoes to understand what they go thru in life. Pray for her to receive some Godly guidance in the future.
Education is a prerequisite. We can in no way equate the injustices in Africa to what has happened to African Americans here in the United States. The United States has its own rich history of injustices toward individuals of color. Namely: Black or African-Americans. I will not forget. Nor will anyone of color. As in my first post, if any individual of color or otherwise feel that they are not being properly heard. Speak up. Let your voice be heard. We have a presidential election coming up. Now is the time to express yourselves. Becoming active in causes that celebrate and bring equality for all individuals.
Listening or reading Ms. Curry’s thoughts and opinions is an example of the ignorance and mis-education that still exists.
I just can’t believe this woman. Let her go tell Univision that there shouldn’t be Univsion for Latinos, go tell Zee TV, that they shouldn’t be on for Asians. What an ignorant ***** who speaks through her ass.
Well…..I actually know where she´s coming from.
Now please don´t act like saints here…..

24.7% of Black people in America live in poverty. That’s the highest percentage by race of any first world country anywhere. So you are the f*cking tool you stupid c*nt.

It’s nice to see the other side of the coin though when I see some stupid white woman shoot her mouth off.
It’s also fun to poke the cage with you stupid pr*cks. It’s okay for me to do it too because it’s a part of Northern culture. lol
