She used every A-list to z-list celeb to get her show moving yet its still stuck on 12 MIDNIGHT on BET. She started off more reserve but her true shell has come out. She shaded Lil Kim, Nicki, Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Christina and now Miley, I wouldn't be bother y'all. That comment was unwarranted and offensive to black people. Miley is doing her, I don't see black people acting like that...Let Miley be Miley and she will find the light as she is still growing up.

I'm sorry, but you can't seriously say that "yo-yo" and "saggy pants" is the defining characteristic of a black culture. This was a messed up message.

No, they're not defining characteristics of black culture. I think Wendy finds them offensive because they represent caricatures of black culture. Think of the blackface minstrel shows in the early 20th century.

Yeah, I definitely agree with Wendy on her point that Miley has been using these caricatures as "accessories". But whenever anybody says "Miley is trying to be black", it just leaves a bad taste.

I hate playing word games, but the correct way to say it IMO is to say Miley is trying to hard to be part of the urban music crowd.

Wendy's right and she didn't even say it in a mean way. Sad that some people will never understand it.

Exactly what I wanted to say but I honestly would have gotten a WP for phrasing it in a shady way.
Wendy is MORE than right but obviously people will find everything to drag her about except the words she stated which were tastefully stated and factual (even the audience understood the parallels she was trying to make).
You guys needs to take off your stan glasses for 5 minutes and actually understand what she's saying.

Actually her show comes on NBC in the daytime then re airs on BET at midnight.

But I agree with everything you said.
