As you know, journalists of The Hollywood Celebrities blog always tell the truth and we are going to tell you this is a bunch of foolishness in the 21st century, 2013.   Allegedly, some African Americans or bi-racial ones donot want to identify with being called, 'black.'  So, what makes these American Idol Contestants think they will prove it was racism when they were disqualified on the show? Just look at these photos, do you think they live there lives as black men in their personal lives?

There are too many black families no longer married to the same race, not just with white people, but also intermarrying other races.  It's just like saying give me my 40 acres and a mule, please.  Therefore, it is very unfair to identify with being black, just when you think you are going to get some money, allegedly.  Also, it is very unfair to suddenly allegedly accuse the producers of being racist, when things did not go their way.  We bet, any other time, some of these nine men who look like the ones we reveal to you, may not even identify with being black and any other time, they probably try to pass for being white, like many others in American history.  Even the darker ones may avoid being identified as 'black', we've seen it time and time again.  Sorry folks, but the truth is, some African Americans who look like them, do not check 'black' on their applications and many of them avoid having black babies, allegedly.

 

Now we do not know who came up with this complaint, but we want to be honest with you, we think some of these contestants are probably being black when it is convenient.   Of course, we do not know them personally, so we are not making any judgement, just an opinion.   However, in this age when many African Americans are not identifying with their roots, it has been much harder to prove racism, in most cases.

We wonder can any of these contestants sing?  If not, they can't put it on the fact that they were disqualified because of their race.   However, we want you to seriously think about what we said, because all shades of some black men, like some black women avoid identifying with being black.   We suppose this hurts God when many African Americans may not have liked who He created them to be.  We are not necessarily saying these men, but many other African Americans in Hollywood or trying to go there have made an effort to avoid being black.  

In conclusion, if any of these nine contestants do identify with being black, well that's just wonderful, because it would be so unfair to all of a sudden just claim it, because the feel they were mistreated as a contestant by the producers of American Idol.

Rapper Nicki Minaj Sees Herself As an Image of Jesus?

Nicki Minaj has been promoting her upcoming new album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up, and now has a new single called 'Freedom'.

This new track shows her comparing herself to Jesus Christ. Now we can't believe this either but these hip hoppers think they can say and do what they want. They think they can manipulate people into thinking their are so spiritually guided yet they are the total opposite. They have no respect for God or their fans. They only care about the dollar bills and measuring up to their other millionaire peers. They are portrayed as a menace to society....
