vaffanculo Tiffanie.

For our Italian speaking friends you know what I just said.

After traveling the world several times over I laugh every time some idiot tries to tell me America is racist. Boofreakinhoo.

" I'm tired of loving a country that can't love me back"

I hear the making of a country song. You just can't say 'country' in a country song, that would be redundant, say instead 'woman'.

She needs to kiss my A$$. If she’s looking for respect, you have to earn that...

Touche!!

The only good things I can say about this writer is that she is a pretty good writer...and she put her money where her mouth is...and left this horrible country. The one that gave her an education.

Think she will vote absentee? Her ilk will vote 5 or 6 times for her. Bet her mom could kick her in the ass. All that work for a spoiled brat to leave.

"You guys have no respect for ghetto rap and gangsta culture, you expect blacks to behave like regular people... well, guess what?... after generations of welfare and entitlement we don't know how.... Because of your racist attitude toward me, I am taking this ball and I am leaving for a better country...."

"Just as soon as I can find one....."

This image makes more sense than this screed....

I’m seriously questioning some of the racist acts against her. Don’t sound realistic. Gives some names tiffanie. If those events were so traumatizing to you then sure you could remember some of these people. Surely you didn’t make these up, did you?

Funny that she identifies with Black Americans even though they in her owns words, ostracized her.

Bless her heart, Tiffany wants to be a .... VICTIM!

She’s not black enough in her own mind.

Shame on us Americans.

She was accepted, but her ebonic speaking, unwed, welfare sistahs and hoodie, gangsta brethren were not.

when you are part of a culture that believes that beat downs on whites by gangs of blacks - or even one black - are totally fine, and black flash mobs stealing and breaking stuff and stealing things is just part of the entitlements for having dark skin,

why do you find it so hard to understand why America doesn’t “love” you?

Miseducated, ending up being confused.

“A friend of mine posted on my Facebook page, “You made the right choice.” I think I did, too. “

Was that FB friend Trayvon’s dad?

She is a powerful writer and I felt the passion in her conflicted sociology. I understood her tightrope walk straddling cultures with no net

There was some of that, but most of her commentary was whining about self-selected recollections of bad, largely racist, things done to her in her young lifetime in America. She strikes me as completely unappreciative of what others have done for her: her mother who no doubt sacrificed greatly for her education, and pointedly unnamed teachers along the way who lent her a helping hand. She has the gall to pick out a few "racist" events, very mild ones, in her short life, and paint America as evil as a result.

She is not completely responsible for her selfishness. The socialist mindset in America's schools taught her to carry a chip on her shoulder. Obama was given all the advantages as well. He chose to resolve his "conflicted sociology" by becoming more black than the blacks, though not black himself. He became more radical than the radicals, etc. This gave him street cred and allowed him to Mau Mau honky, which continues to be his MO. This is a tough act for a white Arab!

This young lady needs to make the right choice and emphasize the positives, not the negatives. The left wants her to take the Obama route and whine on Salon. If it's not too late, she needs to do a 180 and get out of that mode. She's smart, so there is still a chance, however small.

Me too. I knew many girls from Trinidad and Tobago. They were indeed very pretty and worked hard in school. Funny that a smart girl such as this writer could draw such an erroneous conclusion based on her experience. Most of her problems seem to come from her not being a stereotype. That should make her happy, but instead she resents that there is a stereotype and that people don’t see her as one. Being raised in America, she will soon find that T AND T is like every other place in the world — full of stereotypes. The stereotypes may differ from place to place, but they exist all the same.
