Her comments made complete sense in the interview. she never said she was not black she just simply stated that she is not AA but that she is American. Her roots come from a number of things just like America is "melting pot" of races. She is tired of being labeled AA and wants to be known as an American and that doesn't make here any less black than she already is. I think it is ignorance on our behalf to go to such lengths to tear down her beliefs and feelings.

On top of that, black people are so quick to beat her down for not claiming to be an AA yet they certainly don't do a thing to help better the image of al AA. Maybe we should talk about that instead...
