Am I racist? I guess you could make a case that I am. Costner talks about Whitney Houston. I never found her attractive but she was not a cow either like Michelle Obama. Just by saying that, I would be called a racist.
Halle Berry - gorgeous woman. Michelle Obama - a cow. Joy Villa - just saw her but nice looking woman. Whoopi Goldberg - a cow. Rita Moreno - back in the day, a knockout. Queen Lahtafi - a cow. To each their own. There are nice looking black women and not so nice looking black women. Same with any race. And for women, the same goes concerning men.
To me, it has never been about race - it has always been culture. I do not believe in superior or inferior races but superior and inferior cultures.
I didn’t expect it, as I had read Dreams early in 2008, when Hillary was still the presumptive Dem nominee. I can truly say, nothing that happened over the next 8 years surprised me, based on that book. Horrified, yes, but surprised, no. The man simply isn’t a cultural American in my sense of the word. He mostly didn’t grow up here, and his influences were not of the heartland American experience.
Nevertheless, I hoped it might happen, as the media narrative pushed it. But I darn sure didn’t expect it.
Rita Moreno is Puerto Rican and not a mestizo, mulatto, nor black one.
