@luva, you're ignorant. She never pandered to one particular race for hits. She has always stated her love of urban culture since the early days of her career. You're quote is taken out of context, she was explaining why she sides more with her black ethnicity. If "white fame" was what she was after and what worked for her why would she abandon that for "black fame"? You're gonna have to work harder if you think you're about to school me on Mariah; I have a PhD in Careyology. How she chooses to identify is her business. So is she considers herself blk, bi-racial, white, or latina it is her prerogative. As long as people still break a sweat over you as well as spend tine and money on you you still matter-which you clearly prove. What do you mean she doesn't know anything about being black? What does that even mean? An ethnicity/race is not the same as a culture, which is why people like Eminem exist. It would behoove you to take an introductory sociology course at your local community college. You're showing the limits of your education on this post.
