Omarossa isn't crazy, she's just expressing what many African Americans face in corporate America daily. And if you don't believe me I can give plently personal examples.

She could do it in a more civilized way. That woman is a posterchild for the angry black woman stereotype.

It interesting, no one every faults the other chick for grabing Omarossa, telling her to shut up and being overally agressive, when Omorassa remained clam.

That was just one instance. But, what about all of the other instances when she acted arrogant and rude?

Guess what every strong black woman, no matter personality type is considered an angry black woman.

Did I say that? I said this was the issue with Omarosa, who clearly had a chip on her shoulder. I consider someone like Real World's Kameelah and even Coral on her good days to be a strong black woman. I'm sorry, Omarosa just doesn't fit that description.

I don't think I implied that you said that. My statements are my observations of being a strong African American woman in corporate America, hell in just being in American.
I have learned that if my white counter part and I make the same exact statement, she would be advocating, I would be protrayed as defensive, overly confident or too strong.

I also recal that Kameelah was said to have a major attitude by some in the past.

My point is that when an African American woman is strong because she knows the playing field is not level and we know we have to work harder we are deemed the angry black or the black woman with an attitude.

Also having worked in the NY commercial real estate field, I knowit to be male dominated and racist. I was asked questions by my white counterparts if my hair stood on top of my head if I didn't have it pulled back in the bun I was wearing at that time. I have witnessed the racist conversation. I work now with a coworker who's former company stated in writing that they do not sell to blacks.

I also believe in TV editing and the need for ratings so I really take what I see on tv with a grain of salt.

Trust me, as a Black woman...I know. Just because I said that doesn't mean I'm not Black.

Also, I was just stating my personal opinion.

She's not back yet -- apparently she's going to be back next week for some drama.

I'm bummed that Troy was fired because I think he's done a great job -- but then, I didn't want Kwame to be fired either. So far, I find Nick the least impressive of those who are left.

Nick acts like such a baby. He needs to go home soon. I still like Kwaume (sp?) and Amy best. Troy was such a cutie, I'm so sad to see him go!
What's this about Omarosa being back? I totally missed that.
