I don't know who she is but it looks sketchy despite her claims that she wasn't trying to do blackface. These folks kill me acting like blackface should be acceptable on Halloween. Why couldn't she be Diana Ross without color? Every Halloween thousands of Black people dress up like famous white folks and never think to make our skin white.
I wonder who she is too. Part of the current crop of something or others?
I’m embarrassed to admit I watched every episode of the real housewives of New York City…… And the Countess, as classy as she pretends to be, can we just as common as anyone else… And has an ego the size of the Atlantic. That being said, as horrified as I was when she made her entrance because I was afraid she was being diana ross, because she has mentioned before on the show how much she likes her, she was not in blackface at all. She always has that Tan and always looks like that in white dresses. She just thought if she put on a giant Afro and war something kind of slinky that she could be diana ross because she considers herself elegant and beautiful, but I do not believe she darkened her skin the slightest little bit or you can look up any episode of the show on YouTube and see her skin is always that tan …… She is also half Native American which helps gives her skin that beautiful color.
I would have never thought that she was Diana Ross and the fact that she keeps mentioning that she was Diana Ross meant it was a bad costume, she looks like a NOT very good drag queen dressed as Diana Ross.
She did nothing to make that wig look fabulous. Diana would never in her life put such a monstrosity on her head. That wig looks like hair that hasn't been washed in decades. Aside from that, this bitch is clueless...
Another racist trying to get her 15 minutes of fame, I see [[besides the Housewives trash).
I knew she was doing ross because the hair was so big and she had a microphone… And she has stated several times on the show how wonderful diana ross is… And she has attended her shows in New York City and at a benefit in the Hamptons… I don’t believe for a minute that she had any racist intentions or thoughts… She is also known to be quite a little tramp and has on occasion disappeared for the evening with men of color but that in itself I guess does not mean she is not a racist, I just do not believe that she is and she was certainly not doing black face. This can easily be proven by looking at any past episode and see that her skin tone has not changed in the slightest.
AndShe got her 15 minutes of fame years ago when she had a hit dance record, and obnoxious best-selling book called “class with the Countess “her high profile to force her a high profile marriage her second high profile divorce, her arrest… She’s been on page 6 nonstop for the last 10 years
aha - another one of those many that use a Ross connection for publicity
She looks more like Marge Simpson.
let me see if I've got this right, it's very insulting for some to dare see Diana Ross being portrayed as a black woman ..........Oh-kay :rolleyes:
.........:p:p:p:p
lmao !!!! only in ...... Snowflakeville !!!!
Clearly you do not have it right. Not even close. No one has said anything even hinting at that. Is pot legal where you are?
Let me get you ALL the way together:
There is a razor-thin line between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation. And even the suggestion of blackface is NEVER okay. Period.
And as for the “snowflake” shit, I’m not here for it. Why don’t you go play on Stormfront?
Sans I wouldn't even bother. To think, someone would rationalize blackface in a forum dedicated to the accomplishments, talents and music of Black people and an important enterprise in Black history [[not to mention general American history). I don't know this woman and I don't watch the show that she's on. Perhaps blackface wasn't her intention, perhaps it was. I don't know. But I know what box to click for anyone who thinks a "snowflake" is the only person who has a problem with blackface. As I said above, every Halloween Black folks everywhere dress up as some white person without ever whitening up their skin. Why do some white people think they can't do the same?
Preach my dear. All of the women on these housewives shows are nothing but hollering and classless and out of touch oportunists who want to be something but in reality there the lowest form of showbusiness and have zero self respect. Theyd need to be a bit more charitable and a bit more caring before id watch any of there silly shows.
Roberta while I agree with everything you say about those housewives [[unfortunately my partner watches them *sigh*) I do think this is being blown out of proportion. This woman frequently wears that makeup, I've seen it before on the shows and several Italian women in my old neighborhood when I lived in Bergen county wore it.
LuAnn is a fan of my pal, Cherry Vanilla [[Warhol/Bowie/Punk Rock, etc) she should have gone as Vanilla!!!
Yup. Oh there is never anything to talk about. Since I peeped what he was all about a couple months back I haven't responded to any of his responses to anything. The same for the other racist POS on here [[this dude is Black though), I don't bother with him. And the trolls. I just don't feed them. It's probably best to start using the block function.
Really, who gives a shixxx shoot? She's a white trash reality thing. Sold whatever 'soul' she had. Next?
Mmmhmm sans & RanRan, not only is it disrespectful, it is also incredibly dumb is it not? Makes no sense. Also, what is up with this "snowflake" nonsense!? I hate that.
it seems to me that if everyone was a so-called snowflake the world might be a better place :)
I was referring to another poster in the forum who I believe is Black but showed he definitely harbors a negative and nasty attitude where young Black people are concerned. Uncle Tom, racist, self hating ass muthafucka...whatever label, it applies to the person I was referencing. As for the person in this thread that you've referenced, in all honesty I assume he's white. I could be wrong about that.
Well there are people who are overly sensitive, which this "snowflake" bullshit term is supposed to describe, and overly sensitivity can be problematic for sure. But who- with any knowledge of US history- would think such a term applies to people who take issue with someone donning blackface? He's either an idiot or a troll. My guess is the latter with racist tacked on to the end of it.
