Wendy Williams had said
““I must say to you, he was on BET. His speech was very poignant. On the other hand, I would be really offended if there was a school that was known as a historically white college. We have historically Black colleges. What if there was the National Organization for White People, only? There’s the NAACP.”
You already know that she received a lot of backlash. Wendy decieded to clarify what she said, here it is
“On yesterday’s show, a lot of you all misinterpreted some of the things I was saying regarding Black, Black schools being Black in the world, being a human being. So I will clarify again then if you misconstrued and I’ll be back tomorrow to clarify again.”
“Be very clear, I find nothing wrong with historically Black colleges. My father graduated from Lincoln, which is a Black college. My brother graduated from Virginia State, but my thought in my mind was, and what I said to you is, ‘how would I feel if I was applying to colleges and that they were historically white was part of the marquee?'”
“Now, I understand historically Black organizations and universities have been around because we as Black people were not allowed to go to your schools, drink out of your fountains, ride in the front of the bus, sit at your countertops. In 2016, racism is still alive and, well, very much so. I have to say in light of the two police shootings in Baton Rouge and Minnesota, stuff is still going on in 2016, I don’t know when it will stop.”
“The best I can say as a regular woman observing the world like we all are, is it starts in the four walls we call home. If we can teach our children better and educate ourselves more as adults to the multitude of racists around the world as well as religious groups, then we’d all be better as a society.”
“For the record, no I am not a Stacey Dash and for the record, I am a very mighty, proud Black woman. Hopefully you got what I said and will not screw up my words like you always do, and read me for filth on the worldwide web.”
Really Wendy! You are mighty, black, and proud… And obviously speaking out the side of your mouth. I think you woke up and realized you are still on the back of the bus. Otherwise you would not be trying to clarify what was already clear in your first comment. Stay black and proud but keep it real. Now you may take several seats.
