I wish I could hear for myself but my speakers are down still and I'm still too darn lazy to put them back up. Anyway, looks interesting. I thought I'd share.

Commentary

What if Anna Nicole Smith Had Been Black?

Would the postmortem saga of Anna Nicole Smith be such a saga if she had been African American?

hell no it wouldnt...especially being that she would have been a black slut and golddigger who used men for money....yet people have all of this sympathy for anna.

me personally...i have sympathy for anyone who died (thats excluding the fact that they had thousands of people killed) even anna because i think she had a hard life even as a child.....but im just saying how she would have been percieved if she were a black woman who lived the EXACT same life.

I haven't listened to your link Tonya because I'm checking e-mails and I'm getting back in my bed, but the real reason that this story blew up the way that it did is because Anna Nicole was already in the news with the babydaddy DNA test drama, the man in the Bahamas wanting to put her out of the house, she just had that baby girl and her son just died. And of course you had the dead billionaire husband litigation at the Supreme Court. And then she suddenly died. If she hadn't been in the current news - if it had been a couple of years since we heard about her - her death would have been a simple news report and the media would have moved right on along.

Tonya,

If Anna Nicole Smith were Black, you would NOT have known/cared enuff about her to concern yourself with creating this thread.

Anna Nicole's lurid story has all the incredients of a sleazy B-movie. That's one reason why it grabs headlines. It's hard to tell if all of this attention would be given to her were she black because Anna Nicole has no counterpart among black celebs.
