Precisely the image they strive to project but you can’t call them what they are!
Cheers sir!
Reeeeaaaaally?
geee, not racist at all
of course, i’m trying to imagine any white republican saying ‘white girls rock!’ or ‘white kids rock!’ ... and the absolute, nonstop outrage there would be
classless twat
Oh for pity sake. Nobody “rocks”.
Just be the person God wants you to be. Black, white, who cares.
That’s what I thought you are a racial hypocrite. You can’t believe too much in ‘colorblindness’ if you advocate that it is OK for groups to be racial I don’t care what the reason is. By it’s very nature arguing that one group can advocate for themselves but not another blows so called colorblindness out the window as a big lie. ALL races can come up with a reason why it is a good idea to advocate for special treatment. This is exactly why it has never worked but by force. That is exactly why we have race relations where they are. The Black Caucus, the Hispanics Caucus, affirmative action, the black this, the black that. I can have special race groups and you can’t because...
A group that really "rocked" would celebrate people who had made great intellectual achievements. Where are the inventors, entrepreneurs, and scientists? If they think that some idiot actors represent the goal, they'll just be a bunch of rocks.
When an embarrassed King flubbed a line, Obama gave her a hug and then jokingly rubbed her back. The actress and director then shouted with glee, "I've got Mrs. Obama pumping me up! which is nothing like she'll do for me later."

I’d throw all of that out.
But the government enforces all kinds of racial groups and bad social policies that put these young girls at a significant disadvantage.
This is about as harmless a race-conscious effort as there is out there. It still wouldn’t be my approach, but I’m not going to condemn what is an effort in this environment to help a group that we, as a government, put at a significant disadvantage.
(BTW, that disadvantage, again, is around family formation. Those same girls get a significant advantage in areas such as college admissions.)
Well, at least this young lady is not guilty.
Think of what the Drive by media would write if Laura Bush said, “White Girls Rock”
You do know that a black girl can also be hispanic/latina, don’t you? But, I agree that it was a racist comment.
” honoring trailblazing women of color from Ferguson”
Of course. A black girl can also be Indian, Caucasian, any race. It doesn't change the fact that she held up black girls as somehow superior to others. I think of her as referring to those of African descent when she refers to black. If I didn't think that way I would've said what about girls of other color.
I don’t fault them at all; it rings hollow when they do so then tell a bunch of other black females (who don’t do that) how beautiful they are.
I agree with you on it ringing hollow to do any of those sorts of events. If anything, it probably backfires that you’ve got to have a special rally to tell you you’re beautiful for being black—by delivering the underlying message that many people apparently don’t see it that way.
But this is a troubled population and I’m not going to fault those reaching out the best way they can figure out how, when I personally am not making similar or other efforts myself. Sometimes attention alone can have a positive affect.
The quote I see from Michelle is actually all-inclusive, not specific to black girls—though the event, obviously, is for black girls.
I have no issue with the message; our government already treats them as mentally incapacitated (see affirmative action), and they obviously aren’t going to make it without extraordinary assistance.
You’re missing the point completely.
No, blacks girls “twerk”, like pole dancers at a strip club.
