honestly just seems like the typical "im not black im Cherokee " thing that was becoming very popular back then

She was a black woman trying to break into a very anti black business

It's understandable

And a lot of white people did the same things to hide their black ancestry and explain seemingly nonwhite features in their family as well. And still do.

Black people catch a lot of shit for playing those games but sue ellen and BOB are def out here claiming their  skin is browner and hair is coarser cuz of their mystical cherokee grandma.

When in reality it's because of relations between their white and black ancestors.

Did I ask your ass to make logic so soon into the conversation?


L0NZ.

The synchronicity that just happened as I was reading "Holly Robinson Peete"

That shit is so weird. The moment I laid eyes on it, some commercial airing on the Steve Harvey show said her name. I had to decide to click into BSource, come to this thread, and the rate of my reading had to make it so to where my eyes would be on her name as the commercial said it. Shook.

This happens like once a week.
