In my earlier post I pointed out the fact that TV personality and mega-millionaire Nick Cannon disrespected a sister based on her African features rather than her actions.
Nick Cannon is more fortunate than most celebs in that he is an A-list celebrity while the others can only hope to be. The reason Beyonce (who reads all the blogs) doesn’t respond to the hate is because she’s above all that. So is Jay Z and other A-list artists who have reached the pinnacle of their careers and feel no need to respond.
Once you reach a certain level of success you don’t go backwards. Nick Cannon is supposed to be above this sort of pettiness. If it were Bow Wow or Trey Song, I could understand since they are nobodies. Would he attack Perez Hilton in this manner?
As I’ve said before, that picture of Natasha is not ugly nor unattractive. This leads me to believe that Nick Cannon dissed this woman simply because she doesn’t have the Anglo-Saxon features that he and other pompous, simple minded, self-hating black men like him and Eddie Murphy prefer to showcase as a source of pride. That is an insult to me and any black woman who has ever supported his career.
Loyal reader Dania B. agrees:
I just wanted to let u know that this is one of the first times that I can say I agree with you. Some guys seem to have a preference and in return they down the women who don’t meet their preference. It is one thing to not be attracted to a certain type but to disrespect or talk bad about them is not cool. Nick’s comments were uncalled for and just show his immaturity. Thanks for posting his foolishness it really opened my eyes of what is out there in this crazy world!
