I hate to say this...but outside of NY City and the media...most Americans probably wouldn’t recognize her if she walked into a gas station or department store. And if you asked one hundred teenagers to name one big hit from her...I’d bet on only ten percent being able to do it.

It seems like a lot of celebrities are coming out these days and telling people to stop referring to them as homosexuals.

There ya go.

Biracial, poor, open-minded mom leads Mariah to:

1. Not have a discriminatory policy of who she is friends with (that is a lie).

2. conclude if two people want to marry, guy-guy, girl-girl, whatever whatever, that’s just super.

Everyone has a discriminatory policy of who they are friends with. Nobody is friends with everybody. All the serial murderers in California, are they Mariah’s friends? The child rapists, best buds? How about the embezzlers and all the people in the music business that made Mariah feel like she was an “outsider”? All those people hanging out at Mariah’s house all the time?

My God the woman doesn’t know what words mean. Discrimination is used every day to make choices. It isn’t a bad thing automatically. Discrimination based on STUPID REASONS is not to be applauded. Discrimination based on good, sound, logical reasons is well worthy of admiration.

She sounds reasonably intelligent. If those are her own words, two thumbs up.

I’m a Mariah fan and have never heard this rumor.

It’s her twenty-years running biracial obsession that irritates the hell out of me. Big effing deal! I’m biracial, so what? Or do you only get to make a big production of it if you’ve got a little black shoe polish on your pedigree?

All I know is that Mariah Carey had a great start in 1990 with her debut album, sang a great Christmas song, then decided she was black and spent the next decade making hip-hop videos, rolling with the homeys and wearing god-awful hooker outfits before she had her memorable meltdown.

“Ever since I was a little girl, my mother was very open-minded and had many different types of friends, so being gay never seemed wrong or strange to me.

I have gay friends too, but sodomy is a sin.

I don't care if she is running around with a pair of velcro gloves.

I don't understand everyone’s fascination with celebrity proclivities.

Everybody should be able to do what they want to do and be in the pursuit of happiness,” she said.

Ummm, no. There are limits to what you can do. Generally right up to the point where your pursuit of happiness impacts someone else's. Unless your the federal government, then you can confiscate my property in order to reward someone else. (but that is a different rant)

Hey Miriah, if someone wants to wear sheets and burn crosses - that makes them happy - how's that with you? If someone wants to profile passengers at the airport - how's that with you? If preserving the definition of Marriage as a union between a man and a woman makes someone happy - how's that with you?

Rules.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

What else is she going to say. The gays run the entertainment industry, and if you don’t toe the party line, your career is over.

She was blessed with an incredible voice, and she has used it very well. To say she not made good personal choices (her marriage to the much older Mattola, her gangsta ho rebellion years, the ‘rose petals and doves because I am a Diva! phase) but she seems to have normalized and softened during her marriage to Nick Cannon (who is like ten years younger). Cannon, from seeing his interactions on AGT, seems sane, normal and kind...and I think he was/is the saving grace of Mariah.
