Fired “Apprentice” Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth — hated by some of her fellow cast members — got plenty of love Thursday at Ebony magazine’s awards luncheon.

Manigault-Stallworth, a guest, received hugs, kisses and requests for photos at the fifth annual event, which honors outstanding women in marketing and communications.

GOOD ONE ROTFLAMO! Mind if I borrow that one!

[cyborg]

not in her little world...her future depends on a divided mentality. Folks like Omorosa can't handle the concept of one human race. She needs her bean counting.

[sport]

I would say yes.

I LOVE your tag line. My baby boy who is twenty years old and two hundred pounds of muscular body builder - but still MY baby just the same - had surgery today to remove all four wisdom teeth - they had to be sawed in half and cut out and his bloody mouth looks like the Houston light rail train of death ran over his head.... well, he would LOVE to be overmedicated tonight. He is in so much pain. His daddy just left to get him a FROSTY from Wendy's. He just looked in the pantry and said "Look at all that food that I CAN'T EAT!" and ALL the commercials on tv are for food tonight, Mexican restaurants.... he is moaning on the sofa!

But anyway, GREAT tag line.

I guess so, I had so many Cherokee and black ancestors that I lost count. So I stopped counting. I find them fascinating, but I don't whine about the past. The future is much brighter than the past! My great grandmother Mary Ann Burch Hargrove was 1/2 Cherokee, tall, statuesque, wore her jet black hair parted in middle, pulled straight back into a chignon, smoked a pipe, dipped snuff, played an accordian... Olive skin, blue eyes. I think it would have been heavenly to have known her. I assume she probably cussed like a sailor because her daughter, my grandmother did! How I adored HER!

And Rufus Hargrove, my ancestor who was a black slave, I can't wait to meet him in heaven! I love reading and hearing about my native American and black ancestors.

Well said.
PUHHHLEASE, lady. If you ask me, she's acting like a big sore loser. Isn't it convenient to scream racism when you don't like the outcome. So what if she was called a n--*? It's not something I would do, but it doesn't look like the person doing the firing did the name calling, so what is her claim? I don't watch the show regularly (I think I saw it twice) but wasn't the object of this game to be the only one to not get fired by the end of the season? Hmmmm I wonder had she won, would she be making these claims?

[cyborg]

That would go over the heads of people like her. They'd just harp and harp about the past. I encountered Omorosa types in college and believe me, they don't respect the diversity that you describe. That's why I'm a conservative not a milksop democrat.

[Enterprise]

I should have noticed that too. Suppose two people are applying for the same job. Neither is yet hired, but one applicant claims the other used a racial epithet. Now, because of an unproven allegation, is the person somehow more qualified for the job, or more likely to be hired?

[Enterprise]

"I've known plenty of women like her in business though."

Years ago I worked with a woman who basically got positions and jobs she applied for by threatening to sue for discrimination if she wasn't hired. I swear it is the truth! However, she got cancer and died quite young. I truly wish I could go back in time and try to talk her into having a different outlook.

Haha, the irony is so thick you can cut it with a karate chop.
Obviously, Trump made the right decision.

Where is this 'racist treatment' as posted in the article title? All I see is a former contestant may or may not have called her the 'n' word.

That isn't racist, wrong to have said it sure. But where is the racist act??

[Quester]

Yes, it is an ugly word that many blacks use on a regular basis ...

Fortunately, the majority of blacks don't.

Every race has their gutter-snipes.

[BlessedBeGod]

The wife and I where laughing because she was to ignorant to understand what the saying meant.

Oh, I think she knew what the saying meant. She was just trying to set that other woman off.

[Trillian]

Of course.. if you don't make the cut, cry racism.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Thanks. Give my best to your boy. He'll pull through ok. I'm a big guy who loves to eat too and I can sympathize with him. It must be awful.

[Bullish]

Three guesses who she is going to vote for.

The first two don't count.

OK, I'll take a stab at it.

She's going to write in Fidel Castro, right?

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Bumping your post - so true, so true.

I also heard on one of the shows that Ms. Omarosa does not have a PhD as she has claimed. Wonder if that's true?

Roll Call did an article about Omarosa. Unfortunately, that article isn't available online, but here's a summary of it that I found:

• Heard on the Hill: Former Gore staffer and fired candidate on "The Apprentice," Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth is contemplating a run for Congress or even 1600. However, she inflated her salary and her position with Gore in applying for another government job. Says one former top staffer, "You know the thing that bothers me the most about this is that we had a marvelous, committed, hard-working staff at the White House, and particularly in the VP’s office. Now, because of that stupid TV show, who is the American public going to remember as having been on that staff? Omarosa, who was neither committed nor hard-working, and certainly not marvelous." Omarosa, who is raising money for the DNC, replies, "I’m glad all of this stuff is coming out before I run for office."

Hilarious -- even the Gore people can't stand her!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

She has a website with a email address please, please send it to her

Hmmmm. I think I just might. I'll make up a spoof email return address just for this occasion.

I would def sue - could be a high profile slander/libel case with enough edge to win.
