I think there is a legitimate difference in what happened to Frenchie and what happened to Antonella.

Frenchie posed nude for a porn website and got paid for it. What happened to Antonella was innocent. She had some sexy pictures taken of herself (none of them nude) to make a calender for her boyfriend. It was a private thing and someone got a hold of them without her knowledge or consent and leaked them to the public.

That is the difference and that is why she didn't deserve to get kicked off the show. Plus, if you've seen the photos (not the fake ones), they are nothing more than what you would find in Maxim, which is perfectly acceptable for many celebrities.

for that one guys information gina the one who said people don't want to see fat woman posing , he can put his opinon where the sun won't ever shine , woman are pretty small or large not everyone fits in cinderella's slipper , it is just plain mean to label woman beautiful only if there thin , woman come in many sizes shapes , and colors , us woman has enough stress to be thin to deal with we don't need some man's opinon telling us that we are less than nothing because we don't look the way he or others want us too ....not as thin as i would like but happy being me DEBBIE

Part 1

Well first of all, look at Miss America who basically was in the same situation; posing in sexually suggestive photos, drinking while under aged and other things, but Trump excused her derogative behavior, basically stating to society that as long as you are skinny, pretty, young and more of the Caucasian ethnicity, you can pretty much get away with quite a bit.

FYI: Let’s see exactly how much time Libby does.

Okay (I’m Caucasian) and it bothers me to see that there are people that are not color blind. We all bleed, eat, sleep, and pretty much have the same bodily functions as the next person. At least, that is how I thought human beings functioned. While we are condemning other ethnicities, must I point out that over 90% of our people (males) are serial killers between the ages of 13 and 65, and out of that 90% just over 14% are our women, so what makes our ethnicity the perfect dominate race?

Okay (I’m Native American) and I get tired of others telling me that I cannot accomplish something because my people are savages who cannot assimilate into mainstream society. I have learned to overcome my obstacles because my obstacles have made me stronger and I thank those obstacles for granting me the opportunity and wisdom through my ancestors to move forward from a negative/positive perspective

Okay (I am disabled), but why do you treat me differently because I may not be able to quite accomplish the things that you can? I may not be able to do what you do, but I still have a special gift that allows me to do things that you cannot do or that you do not

Part 3,

Okay, I am a human being that loves everyone regardless of their imperfections. I have compassion, feelings, love, understanding and a sense of wanting to belong not because of a lack of your differences and understanding but because I am one of God’s children and he sees no imperfections among us. In his eyes we are all the same with our fault. There is no such thing as a big sin or a little sin it is all the same in the end.

If we all thought like that we would be living in a dream world. Ignorance, stereotypes, a lack of understanding and compassion as well as some forms of jealousy are the real issues.

Human kind can be produced and a child will become a product of the human race, regardless to differences. If societies were color blind and could look beyond another’s differences and see that we are a bunch of people that are trying to make it, then we would probably be a better world. In reality it is all about control, people want to control other people. Democracy can only work if people let it work and it could be that racism is a form control. Now back to Frenchie and Antonella.

If Frenchie was a Vanessa Williams would she had been kicked off of American Idol? Frenchie was doing it to make money, Antonella was not, but regardless to why they did it why hasn’t Antonella been penalized.

We as human beings are stereotypical entities that have a long ways to go in order to overcome different forms of racism and discrimination.

What is acceptable to the minority may not be acceptable to the majority and vice versa.

I feel that this issue

Part 5,
...such support for comebacks?

Many Latin and Black men are portrayed as a thieves, drug dealers, or gangsters and if you have anything you are into some type of sports. What do you think minority women are portrayed as??????????????

Is it racism or does it have to do with the weight difference? The issue is that it has to do with a little bit of both. !" It is unfair to most of us that have an open widow of perception but what can we do unless we work as a whole?

Keepin’ the Faith

I didn't mention Fantasia because she was over-weight, it's because she's black, which kills the notion that "Amerian Idol" is racist.

And as for what jpapagan wrote, there are plenty of other ways to earn money besides posing nude. How about getting a real job?

Part 2, Gina why does this always do this to me right when I am getting into the mode?

minded). You need quick money fast, the jobs (even at McDonalds’) are not coming in quick enough, and you are NOT going to do anything ILLEGAL to obtain this money.

Are you willing to sleep in your car and stay in shelters with your 4 children?
Are you willing to go to Catholic Charities, the Salvation Army and other soup kitchens in order to feed your children or will you let your pride get in the way?

You are a male or female that is offered to make quick money or do something that you really do not want to do, but now you are a victim of circumstance, so what will you do other than pray?

Food for thought just give me your opinion and constructive criticism.

sorry but I never heard of either one, of course if I did know them or thier names then they would have to really be together...

not to mention that I just work too much and now thanks to labor unions for almost free!

ddain,
I am glad that you are not taking this personally because I did not want you to feel bad (SMILE)…

Now the problems that I am speaking of are not rare if you come from an environment such as I and others have come from. The synopsis that I am speaking of is a combination of a little bit of everything that I have observed or know of someone experiencing such situations and not necessarily in that order.

Charles S. Dutton did a special called “The Block” a few years back. Queen Latifah is doing a movie pertaining to such issues. “Bowling for Columbine”, “8 Mile,” “Claudine,” “Homeless to Harvard,” and “The Pursuit of Happyness” are all movies or Television specials whether fictionalized or not are based upon actual events that have actually happened to someone in the United States regardless to if you have personally experienced it or not. These are just few of many movies to speak of.

What I am talking about is not a financial Armageddon because crap happens regardless or not if you're keeping an eye on things in your financial life. Another person’s shoes are not tight on your feet. You cannot tell a person where to go if you have not been there, and you have no authority to say that a person shouldn't wind up in such a situation, especially if they (do or do not) have a steady job. Just because you are employed does not mean that everyone else is. For different reasons many people have real issues. I do not know you and I do not know if you are really a celebrity or not but use me as an example. Are you willing to give me a full time position with full be

It wasnt a race thing... DID you SEE those FRENCHY photos? Yuk. FAT doesnt sell and she was horrible looking compared to Antonella. And dont forget Antonella didnt do the photos for money. The crime here was who paid money to see Frenchy. Ahhhhhhhh

( and my promise not to attack fat people... I am not .. I am just talking about the difference)
