Kelis wasn’t too happy about a personal letter she received directly from animal rights organization PETA.  Never one to bite her tongue, she decided to respond…

“Good morning all!

Ok, so you’re gonna love this. The other day I got a personalized letter from PETA! Lol so after some thought I’ve decided to write one back. Goes a little something like this:

Nia Long, “Wearing Fur Is Like Slavery”

There is no humane way to kill anything, let me start there. It’s unfortunate but it’s part of life. With that being said, I would eat pterodactyl if you found some and you told me it was meaty and delicious. And after doing a very minimal amount of research……. I found out that the founder Ingrid Newkirk is completely batty. I had a feeling but she far exceeded my expectations. I mean certifiably insane! Lol this chicks will is nuts, google it – it’s a riot! Beyond the fact that I think she’s a diabetic, which means she needs insulin, which is taken from lab pigs (I know this because my sister happens to be in veterinary school), which would be completely hypocritical. It’s like don’t abuse animals unless it can help me…”


I feel very strongly about a lot of things such as the sweatshops that spin cotton and the blood on their hands. Btw it’s not just the look of fur. It’s warm as hell and feels glorious, ever rubbed faux fur on your body? Nothing luxurious about that. Then the letter proceeded to name artist and designers who don’t wear real fur. Great! More for me! I don’t judge them, don’t judge me.

Even PETA Understands Obama Killing A Fly!

If I started wearing endangered animals like polar bear or orangutan then talk to me. (Which btw for the record I would not – I do believe in the preservation of endangered species) But the minks and chinchilla that quite honestly are rodents and if weren’t in the form of a coat I would demand they be put to death anyway are not an issue to me.

Will T.I. Go Naked For PETA?!

The death of high fashion. Ugh.

I eat meat, and in fact my mouth salivates as I type the word meat! And the paint throwing that’s just ridiculous! What if I was hurling Loubitons and Pierre Hardy’s at every sad poorly dressed person on the street? As right as I may be it’s just fanatical and crazy. And people have the right to feel as they please. What about art? Survival of the fittest. Natural selection? No let’s just let all the rodents run free and over take our cities. Oh wait they have, NY and LA in particular are infested! Why don’t u save them all from scavenging on the streets and ruining my evening strolls, take them home. Make them pets! Get off my back! Pun intended!

    Kelis… Baby doll you don’t have to defend yourself against haters. Follow Jesus and “turn the other cheek”… them just mad because you make the fur look good. God said that man has “dominion over the beast of the earth”… to hell with the PETA!!!

    Thats right Kelis! I’m with you!

    I’m with Kelis on this one. They care more about a damn beast than they do about another human being. Michael Vick fights dogs and gets 2 years while a guy by the name of Sean Bell gets murdered in cold blood and no one gets not even a minute in prison?? WTF IS THAT!!!!???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DINFAM0US/ DINFAM0US

    This is one of those strange things about this country. Seems like they care more about animals more than humans. I am almost sure most PETA supporters are not black.
    We don’t got out of our way to kill the animals but one its hits the stores its fear game.
    Another thing… PETA knows better than to throw paint on the average black man/ Spanish dude…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/petiteAlicious/ petiteAlicious

    Oh no she didn’t! lol damn. Reading her letter and reading some of these comments makes me feel sick…not because of the main issue at hand, but the underlining issue. How can my brothers and sisters be so ignorant and foolish! Arg! It sounded like a child wrote this letter…someone who is uneducated and who has no direction. To me killing is wrong no matter if its an animal or human…and for those bring God into this issue…God made all living things! Now we must kill to survive (eating plants and animals), but you don’t need a “glorious” fur coat to do so and we don’t need to kill more then we have too! Come on people grow a brain and use it wisely! For example: reality check! If you think human life is so important how have you helped Haiti today? Have you donated, volunteered, gave our time?

    This letter is SUPER FUNNY! lol I think it was fairly well written regarding the hypocrasies of society and how PETA helps to perpetuate such hypocrasy. I’m down wit the animal rights. I’m not down with obnoxious,radical, fanatical attempts to impose your self righteousness on others. Simple as that. You throw blood on me while I’m wearing my expensive sheepskin bomber and I’m shootin yo ass. Ask about it.

    Wow! To be honest, I just think the Kelis letter to PETA is hilarious! LoL!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MsDiane777/ MsDiane777

    I’m with Kelis, you are saying what alot of people want to say,PETA, need to STOP, everyone and anyone that want to wear fur should have the right to. It is offensive to tell someone they shouldn’t wear it just as it is to tell them they should.
    Speak for us Kelis

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaramelHoneyBun33/ CaramelHoneyBun33

    actually @petite, Kelis was very educated on the topic, she knew the founder of PETA to be a diabetic and what insulin is made from, etc… well more than what me and u knew about the subject i’m sure, kelis may not be a clone (cause shes herself and not trying to be what everyone else wants her to be) she was quite on point here and halirious with it, now that takes skillz

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PokerFace21/ PokerFace21

    The only killing I am concered with is the killing of HUMAN BEINGS. I am not concerned about animals because I know in fact that jesus was a meat eater. The fact that we care so much about animal rights is obsured to me. What about Human Rights? Racial discrimination still happends today. If not publically then privately. I would prefer saving a humans life over a animals anyday. Lets get real. There are soliders over in iraq dying, do you think they care about Animal rights when they are fighting a war to save human lives. PETA needs to get over themselves. Kelis right. Fack PETA.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TXLexi1/ TXLexi1

    Way to go Kelis. The arrogance of PETA and its minions. Just when did we outlaw individual rights? If you don’t think like the crowd, dress like the crowd, believe like the crowd, then you’re somehow subversive.

    Your sensibilites are just that…yours.

    Death is the final chapter in this thing called life. U want to see all these PETA freaks give up their diamonds, oriental rugs, their filets, their insulin, thier gaming consoles, etc… because there is something objectionable in the making/marketing of it all.

    This same group didn’t have the decency to ask permission of the First Lady before slapping her up on a billboard as an endorsement of their cause. So who listens to them.

    @petiteAlicious. Respect the bible more than to use it as a club. If you know the Word, perhaps you remember:

    “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to DIE;… A time to KILL, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up…A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace….”And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the fruits of their labour, it is the gift of God. (Excerpt from Ecclesiastes 3) Peace and Blessings.

    wow. kelis letter was funny. but, she made some valid points. when referring to rodents in ny and la and how peta should do somethin about it, i mean, im from ny and to be going out at night, you never know when a rat would pop out of nowhere. lol. i mean even at the subway stations, you see rats. its crazy and nasty and PETA should do something about it if they just gonna complain about ppl wearing fur. like the paint throwing? what good is that serving for their cause? they don’t make any sense to me.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/smack_u_silly/ smack_u_silly

    i swear, ignorant black coon says some silly shyt, and others agree with her.

    yes, there IS a ‘humane’ way of killing an animal (or human for that matter). that’s why there are people that want to die instead of suffernig pain of cancer, etc.

    fur is different from food, and folks know that. there is no need to wear fur today. now, if you TRULY love fur, YOU do the trapping, the drowning of the animal, cut it up and wear the shyt. i forgot, the very fools wearing fur nowadays are the same ones that don’t have the stomach for it.

    food is food. nature has animals killing animals for food. but no need for fur. period. in today’s society, it’s merely a status symbol (thankfully, one that is ever more moronic).

    one thing to eat an animal for food…another to kill it JUST for its pelt; and to drown it because you don’t want to mess up the fur. or trap it and let it slowly bleed to death in the winter.

    anyone who agrees with kelis and her ilk is beyond moronic.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jhollins/ jhollins

    F@*CK PETA!! Seriously the paint throwing…they just haven’t found the right person! If you choose to wear fur that’s your right and no crazy arrogant ass animal terrorists (not activists) should have the right to force their views on you. I don’t rock fur because I don’t like the look of it. I love animals but I DESPISE PETA! To me they’re no better that any other extremist group. Believe what you want but when you try and force it down my throat, then we’re going to have problems.

    wow….i never pegged kelis to be this damn ignorant!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sef_ali/ sef_ali

    I kinda agree with smack_u_silly under me…beat me to the punch…

    I eat meat, and so do other animals in the wild….But for some damn fur to look cute? C’mon now…plus it could be WAY more humane…

    I saw a doc**entary of how fur is removed from an animal while it’s STILL ALIVE, and it aint pretty!! They basically ripped the animals ENTIRE fur off in one piece from its back side to its nose, which was the most GRUESOME part because you could actually see and HEAR the fibers of flesh being torn from the animals body and THEN the animal just lays there convulsing, and gargling and gagging on its on blood!!

    Basically, just imagine how it would feel to have your entire scalp and face ripped from your skull in one piece…just so some pompous diva wannabe can look flashy!!

    Anybody that supports the right to wear fur should see that, then let’s see if you think it’s OK…

    Oh yeah, for you people quoting the bible, that dumb ass book also was the basis for rejecting heliocentrism, it condones slavery and genocide, and says that the universe is supposedly only 6,000 years old…

    So I guess yall agree with the primitive morons who wrote those fairy tales that the Earth is the center of the solar system (and the universe), and slavery and genocide is OK if some fictional JEWISH deity supposedly said it was, and I guess yall didn’t know that dinosaurs died MILLIONS of years ago (ever heard of fossil fuels?), and that diamonds are formed over MILLIONS of years, and considering the fact the our expanding universe has TRILLIONS of stars with IMMEASURABLE distances between them that are ever increasing, it is logically impossible for THAT many stars to have expanded THAT DAMN FAR in just 6,000 years !!!

    Did you people just skip grammar school and go to some dumb ass church??? If you flipped thru the pages of any average elementary school science text book with your thumb in 60 seconds you would see more formulas, equations, and scientific empirical data about the universe than you EVER would spending a lifetime reading a book of fairy tales about talking snakes and what not, but doesn’t even have the periodic table of elements or a basic molecular diagram water, H2O…SMH

    I don’t see the problem here,, they took 130 million dollars from michael vick for backing a dog fighting ring, and the chinese made 130 million killing dogs and cats to serve in their restaurants in the ghettos for life times not one PETA or animal rights rep stopped them, hell dogs and cats don’t even walk down the street chinese restaurants are on they avoid them at all costs, don’t get me wrong i have a cat and i love my cat i will kill for my cat. but let me buy a fur coat for someone i love and someone throw red paint on it, i bet you they would experience a blood shortage real quick unless they can pay me what i paid for the fur.. see its simple the moral of this story is stop the chinese from serving animals as a delicacy, and the population will return…

    you ask rhetorical questions like ‘who cares what i say?’ when YOU cared enough to answer, and one other person agreed.

    still jiggshining and buckdancing for change on street corners, are you? well, your work at the local glory holes will soon get you enough money to pay half the rent in your mama’s basement.

    ‘kimchi’? damn, you’re stupid AND derivative. i expected more…no, take that back…i expected JUST THAT from you. by the way, after your prison rape, did the prison doctor put you in protective custody, or did you beg to be put back in the general population?

    you ‘doubt’? in order for you to ‘doubt’ you have to have a brain, and we both know the wizard was fresh out of ‘brains’ when you asked for one.

    now, since you’re in no position to give orders to anyone, and you take them from EVERYONE:

    shut the fucc up, zipcoon, and softshoe to ‘by the light of the silvery moon’.

    i agree, PETA and others should NOT throw paint on people and their furs. that’s invading their space, it’s an assault, and worst of all…that fur is LIKELY insured and the folks can simply get another fur coat. that simply REWARDS the very industry they’re fighting against.

    Funny how fur is bad but leather is good. Funny how fur is bad but diamonds are good to wear. Just as much as every one tells Christians to look in the mirror when we speak truth about homosexuality and other immoral lifestyles, PETA activists and all those who support them need to check themselves and their closets and their jewerly boxes. No matter how you try to rationalize your actions, we all have some checking to do before we speak about some one else.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/smack_u_silly/ smack_u_silly

    2theworld, though PETA folks would disagree with me, leather isn’t as bad because you eat the cow, you drink the milk, you use the hoof to make gelatin.

    in short, you’re using the whole cow. and cows USUALLY are killed quickly with a bullet to their heads; not drowned, or skinned alive.

    BIG DIFFERENCE.

    jewelry boxes? hey, blood diamonds suck, that’s why countries like russia and canada let you KNOW the diamonds don’t come from some country that uses slave labor to get them.

    homosexuality? people are born with their sexuality, so says most respected studies. no real study says you choose your sexuality. i don’t remember choosing being straight, and nothing can ‘make me gay’. did YOU choose to be straight?

    morality is subjective. belching in western culure is considered rude, but in many eastern societies, it’s considered a compliment to the chef.

    PETA had every right to write kelis’ ignorant azz, and she had every right to respond, even as ignorantly as she did.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chictatious1/ chictatious1

    peta is a hostile organization, they act as if they are a hostile gang, they team up against someone by having personal attacks that are irrelevant to them, invade others privacy and enforce their personal view amongst people. a great example is how they invaded the rights of the first lady, but displaying her as a peta icon unwillingly. peta in my opinion is a group of immature people trying to find a purpose or forcefully establishing there well being as if others care. everyone one or being is some form of a predator and has its place in the food chain. i guarantee some of the peta followers wear make up, take some form of a diet supplement, has a form of protein substitution, wear clothes from some kind of animal or subsequently utilizing something on a daily bases with traces of animal unknowingly. i suggest find a new hobby and stop forcing you views on others. if you and what you represent is true and geniune you would not have to be so aggressive nor hostile to prove a point.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/do_uremember_me/ do_uremember_me

    some people are really ignorant. For one insulin does not come from pigs, her sister needs to drop out form school and claimed she learned that and as far as the fur, animals are killed inhumanely to get that skin. PETA fights for that and how the other animals are treated when killed to be our food. It’s so inhumane. It would be nice for people to feel the pain that they give to animals and how they make them suffers, its ridiculous.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rep404/ rep404

    …Like watching two dumb asses argue. Peta vs Nas’s babymoms.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mfrazier_1999/ mfrazier_1999

    For some of you who dont know insulin comes from 3 places 1 human which is the lastest form 2 Pigs which is still used and 3 Beef which the united states discontinued using years agao. So yes kelis is right. Peta is wrong you never have the right to throw paint on ppl because you dont agree with them. i once saw a peta rep arguing with a vegetarian, whom told the peta rep that plants have lives too. I started laughing as they were making salads.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/smack_u_silly/ smack_u_silly

    do_u_remember_me:

    you and precious few others see the point: fur is an absolute WASTE of time, money and effort, and is merely a cruel way to treat animals.

    there’s no logical defense of wearing fur now. if one must have the fur look, ‘fake furs’ look like the real thing, are warmer and less expensive. so to get a ‘real sable’ means the person is:

    wasteful;
    stupid;
    colder;
    on piss azzed piece of cowardly shyt

    again, if someone likes fur THAT MUCH, they should be forced to track, trap, kill and skin the animals themselves…and then eat the meat so as not to waste.

    though i dont agree with PETA throwing paint on the fools that buy/wear furs, they mean well.

    to mfrazier…really, PETA said ‘plants have feelings, too?’

    was this on film, or did you ‘just see it’?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dibrasworld/ dibrasworld

    I think Kelis is completely bent! I became a vegetarian in response to the inhumane treatment of animals raised in factory farms. I am not opposed to people eating meat and I serve meat to guests but am diligent about serving only humanely raised and healthy meat. Most factory farms raise animals under the most inhumane conditions imaginable, then pumped them full of hormones and antibiotics which are harmful for human consumption. By the time they reach slaughter, many of them are sick, injured or even dead but are still process as food. Even the enzymes secreted by animals under severe stress at slaughter diminishes the quality of the meat. Just because something is meaty and delicious does not mean it is good for you. Not every animal used for food is treated in this manner. It just takes a little research to find healthy and humane sources if you prefer to eat meat. No doubt, PETA extremists, like any other extremists, are crazy. Although PETA is not my only source, it has been a good source of education and support for me when going veggie. A little education never hurt anyone.

    Insulin:
    Insulin production from animal pancreases was widespread for decades, but very few patients today rely on insulin from animal sources, largely because few pharmaceutical companies sell it anymore. Biosynthetic “human” insulin is now manufactured for widespread clinical use using genetic engineering techniques using recombinant DNA technology. ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_therapy

    Protein:
    Every whole food contains protein! Carrots contain it, celery contains it. We do not have to restrict ourselves to nuts, seeds, and beans when thinking about protein. We certainly do not need to focus on animal products. The protein consumed from a balanced plant-based diet appears to be plenty. Many of us have been conditioned to worry about specific nutrients, such as protein. If we just consume the foods the human body is designed for, we don’t have to worry about the nutrients and we should experience optimal health. Most “meat-eaters” actually get too much protein, which can lead to osteoporosis among other health problems. ref: http://soystache.com/sources_of_protein.htm
    For other extensive nutrition tables/info: http://www.soystache.com/sources_of_protein.htm#Source

    You say “minks and chinchilla that quite honestly are rodents and if weren’t in the form of a coat I would demand they be put to death anyway are not an issue to me.”

    Many are actually domesticated cats and dogs that have been stolen, they are not all farmed “rodents”. Check out this video on the Chinese Fur Industry [where most fur comes from]. It has extremely graphic images that some people may find distressing: http://tinyurl.com/4qzmxj

    $55,000 or whatever in child and spousal support?

    Admit it, you’re no less crazy than PETA!…. I LOVE IT LMAO

    I’m not a PETA “nut”, but feeding rodents to grow fur and wear seems like a waste of food that could be better spend on poor people. Maybe you should step back from the fanatics that run the campaign and consider whether there is anything valid about what they have to say – sometimes there just might be.

    Kelis is beyond hope, sorry ’bout that Nas, but you picked the wrong golddigger to link up with. A real shame she doesn’t have the talent to support her own spending fix – she’s got all the looks of a junkie, just on cash instead of drugs (as far as I know).

    Peace

    I love her!!!! Some celebs are too quick to jump on every bandwagon just to get publicity! BTW who is Nia Long anymore..she has been saying a lot lately…she needs to go work on her career. I love what the brother blues1980 said….Abortion ..ok …killing an animal for its fur that you WEAR!!!??? punishable by death? Get over it..i dont see these groups helping to irradicate Aids or rushing to Haiti…Kelis you got a new fan!!

    I hate commenting amongst the ignorant. In response to the comment about “using fur to make clothes long ago”…they also used every other part of the animal for food, tools, and other living necessities never letting any of the animal go to waste. NEXT. The coat is U.G.L.Y. anyway so she might as well gather up some of the rats she was speaking of and make a coat out of them. ALSO They breed and raise these animals just to kill them, it is not like there is an infestation of Mink running about. AGAIN Has anyone really studied the process of slaughtering these animals to make a coat? A mink is the size of a squirrel. It takes 40 to make 1 coat. They hang them upside down with fish hooks in their skin and cut it off of them while they are alive. Then they leave the animal to crawl around crying hysterically in pain until it dies on its own. Explain YOURself to God at the gate, cuz I sure as hell couldn’t think up an excuse as to why THAT was necessary to survive. Ignorant Mortals.

    Also..There is an infestation of humans on the planet but you don’t see anyone hanging them from their feet by the hundreds ALIVE and slicing their skin off to make clothes. Kelis is trash.

    The fact is that organizations can’t have their hands in every cookie jar. I don’t agree with the way Kelis expressed hereself in the letter. Let me state this, however. The Vegetarian lifestyle is deprivatory nutrition. I understand there is a moral issue at hand here. The meat we eat is dead already. The controversy in this matter will always exist. I do not like the way animals are tortured. I cannot take the same stance as PETA because they are extremists. If I am not mistaken animals faced harm in the Bible. I do wonder why PETA doesn’t have anything to say when cannibalism is practiced on the human body. We, as humans, are classified as mammals or higher intelligence animals. PETA seems to be lashing out on black people…Kanye West, Kelis, Micheal Vick. Could it be said that PETA could have racist intent?

    Good for her. F**k PETA and most activist groups in general.

    They all seem to follow the same path. Sooner or later, they devolve into a group of rabidly angry and irrational, self righteous individuals who think that anyone who’s not on their side is either in the wrong, or just an enemy.

    Honestly the letter ust shows the lack of intelligence that some people posses. For Kelis to write a letter in such poor taste makes you kind of wonder how much time does she have on her hands to sound so ignorant. Although she does make some good points. The fact that the fur is not produced from endangered animals is a good thing. Chins as I call them are one of the main animals that are “farmed” for their fur. This practice has been going on for years. My question is usually how come they cant just shave the animals like sheeps hum. On the side of PETA it is time that someone “artfully” using education puts them in their place not everyone has the same views as them and to impose your views and beleifes on another in such a brutal way and publically is just as wrong. They need to focus their energy on saving the animals they care so much about team up with other groups who care about animals. I really think that Kelis could have made a great point but to sound like a school yard bully really makes me SMH big time. For those who think that she really stuck it to PETA need to really think did she or did she really make you not see the good points she was making with her ignorance and poor choice of words. There are other people looking at her response and she just flushed another opportunity to shine down the drain. She has joined the fools table. Again

    As far as the comments about her child support the time she took to write that tasteless letter she could have been looking for a job to help support her child. Maybe she should sell her furs. Humm what a jab huh.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kaikai7/ kaikai7

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion ,but I do think that the folks at PETA are as crazy as those anti abortion people. I happen to wear and love fur. I wish that there was a way to get the fur without harming the animal but that is not always the case! I also eat meat, and we all know that those hamburgers and steaks ,barbeque chicken we enjoy comes at a price! I am waiting for one of those Peta folks to pour paint on me in NYC so that I can pull put a can of “whip azz ” on them and I am so serious it’s not funny! I thought that her reply was very funny in a sarcastic kind of way, but then again it all comes down to where you stand on this issue.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CHINKYDIAMONDII/ CHINKYDIAMONDII

    Gigi_ambition, it would be great if they could just shave the animals, however if they did they would have to weave the fur to make a garment and fur staple length just isn’t long enough to spin. Sheeps wool is long and tends to cling to other strand around it which make it ideal for industrial production. Bottom line the fur must stay attached to the skin….it’s a shame with all the technology we have we haven’t found a way to do this yet…. btw I don’t have any issues with people who wear fur or with those opposed.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GiGi_Ambition/ GiGi_Ambition

    Thanks that i knew but you knew that already too just wish others would be prompted to research and really share valuable information instead of looking like fools. I dont care where you stand it is how you stand. and it seems like alot of people and sinking and sinking really low. Shameful

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/lilmisswitesheep/ lilmisswitesheep

    LMAOOO i love animals but Kelis slayed them in that letter!! nothing like a smartass to put a smile on my face!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Fly098/ Fly098

    @ GiGi Ambition…..Yes.. the letter was written a little “hood” however the information she provides, she obviously researched. Not only that…Just because she responded that way doesn’t mean the girl is not educated. She didn’t cuss them out but you and I both know that White People in these organizations are over the top and they don’t get it until you have to act up and let the monkeys out on them! She didn’t ask them to send her the letter. Who are they to chastize her for wearing anyhing?! Not only that, these organizations like PETA and Planned Parenthood were started by satanist and people that are behind NWO agendas. YOU need to do your research. Even God in the Bible made clothes for Adam and Eve out of an animal skins when He kicked them out of the Garden. Read your Bible! I agree that she could have had better choice of words and that she could have really, really stuck it to them by being more sophisticated than they are, but I’m thinking she wrote the letter out of frustration and because she felt pushed in a corner. Oh. And it’s POSSESS not POSSES. You Black Anglo Saxons kill me with this “Education Makes Me Superior” mindset. You’re no better than whites when you play that card. I believe in having class and sophistication but a degree doesn’t give you that. Food for thought! You do the dishes!

    I myself do not wear fur and wish there were other alternatives. I don’t like fur because, for the most part, the rest of the animal is not used (for meat, etc), which I feel is wasteful. Also, the way fur (and meat) are acquired is pretty torturous for the animal (I believe in quick and humane slaughtering). I also think that fur is too ostentatious for my taste.

    That said, Kelis made some very good points. I think she is very intelligent and was very astute in her response. Still, I think fur looks better on the animal.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GiGi_Ambition/ GiGi_Ambition

    Lol the fact that most people are focused on the eating meat part just shows that no one really pays attention. The organizations’ main focus it the inhumane treatment of animals. This means the way that they are killed in order to get the fur etc. That is fine if you do no like certain animals but to be and sound so well dumb just shows how far you have come. Not far at all.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GiGi_Ambition/ GiGi_Ambition

    And in response to Fly098- It seems that you really didn’t read what I said. And you are basically doing what you are accusing me of doing. Now that fact that she did not use “curse words” does not give her the pass in saying that she stuck it to them. And look closely at what I said about PETA

    -”On the side of PETA it is time that someone “artfully” using education puts them in their place not everyone has the same views as them and to impose your views and beleifes on another in such a brutal way and publically is just as wrong. They need to focus their energy on saving the animals they care so much about team up with other groups who care about animals”

    If you would have read that you would not have responded the way you did

    “She didn’t cuss them out but you and I both know that White People in these organizations are over the top and they don’t get it until you have to act up and let the monkeys out on them! She didn’t ask them to send her the letter. Who are they to chastize her for wearing anyhing?! Not only that, these organizations like PETA and Planned Parenthood were started by satanist and people that are behind NWO agendas. ”

    I mean come on are YOU serious. And there are African Americans that are with in the PETA organization as well so come off the point the finger at the White man horse ok really. I stand by the fact that she could have made the same points that some of us are making on this blog in a more educated way. Lets be honest if we are going for an interview do you think we talk the way that we do on this blog no we do not. If that was a writting sample we as well as Kelis would fail. I dont care if she is in the lime light it is how you use it and that was a poor display of education. As far as research… I have done it. As far as the whole

    –“Education Makes Me Superior” you couldn’t be more correct and you know why.. If you and I graduated from the same classes with the same honors and you wrote that letter and I wrote one that removed the text that was in poor judgement who do you think people would pay attention to more. Not you. But one thing you must understand that it is our intelligence that sets you apart. Smart is good. But intelligence is out of the ball park. And Excuse me but I know my Bible well you ave not said anything new and even if no one knew of the Bible history shows the use of animal fur to stay warm in harsh weather so what are you really trying to say. And again excuse me but “Acting like monkeys” no African Americans will not be labeled as that and will not refer to anything like that… Do not continue the disrespect we have come to far to look back on something of that nature. Thank you
