Gabrielle Union Continues Tirade Against Black Bloggers

Gabrielle Union continues her tirade against Black bloggers, this time in Vibe magazine. I really don't mind Gabby having her say, but her big upping Perez Hilton saying he doesn't EVER talk bad about Latinos is a flat out lie. Perez regularly dogs out Jessica Alba, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin and others....


Here's what she said to Vibe: “If you look at what Perez [Hilton] does - and I don’t advocate for Perez, you know, he can write hurtful things about a lot of people - but what he does as a man of color, as a Latino, is he never dogs Latinos, ever. He actually breaks artists on his website. They can go from “Who the hell is that?” to Number One on iTunes in a day, just from what he says. So he’s trying to uplift his own people. I mean, he dogs everybody else, but as a man of color, I applaud you. I can’t dog you for not dogging your own people. He never says anything negative about Latinos, ever, and I just wish that we had more of that kind of “raise up” mentality and pulled each other up instead of dragging each other down. Especially like… If I got arrested, say whatever you want to say. If I had kids and left them in the car while I partied, or I got out of cabs showing all my private parts, you have every right to dog me. If I came out and dogged my own people, kill me in your blogs. But don’t make things up! I do enough, and if you really got spies everywhere you’d know what I was doing, you wouldn’t have to make things up. And if you don’t know your facts, then just don’t print them.”
