hey Lauren, you should make your name your link to your “girl in yellow”.
-Claps- Agree 100&-
um to Fuzzy bear and anonymous, I am not replying as fast as you may because unlike you, I don’t spend my life on the computer waiting for replys from someone I don’t know. It’s not because I don’t know what I’m talking about.
Fuzzy Bear, you said that she “hides” that she is part black, so what if she did?! Maybe she knows nothing about her black culture. Have you ever thought that maybe her biracial parent was raised by a white person? Maybe she has no connection with her black ancestry. That’s why I don’t understand why you’re making a big deal out of her race, it’s her business.
She doesn’t look black so if she doesn’t want to state that first, she doesn’t have to.
Now don’t even bother replying because I won’t see it. It will be pointless, just like this argument.

Sad but true,and only when there careers were over did they say anything,or when someone founded out.
That’s sad that they had to lie for their careers
