DAYS: Kola Boof blasts NBC Pres. Kevin Reilly

[EricaKane4life]

WOW!

DID ANYONE NOTICE HER COMMENTS ABOUT "MICHAEL RICHARDS"???

BLACKS WERE UPSET THAT SHE DEFENDED HIM.

THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING:

Syracuse Adams:

O.K., let’s talk about Michael Richards and the radio listeners who were upset that you defended him using the “N” word.

[s.W.S.N.B.N.]:

I didn’t defend him using the “N” word. What I said is that as a Black woman and mother of black sons, I’m more offended by the blatant colorism on BET and the self-hatred that causes black rappers and black male media figures to demonize, disrespect, disallow and lie on black women—yet they have the nerve to castigate Michael Richards and demand that I should be more disgusted by Michael Richards than I am by Michael Jackson, Montel Williams, color struck whining ass Taye Diggs or Ward Connerly. What Michael Richards did in that comedy club didn’t bother me one bit, because I’m not a “N”—the word doesn’t describe me, and I can relate to being out of control and cursing people out and using the wrong language to do so. Richards was wrong, but this nation went overboard in punishing him, and that’s my honest opinion, because if we really had respect for the humanity of black people, we’d cancel BET and stop supporting these self-hating black men who really do hate and undermine black people.

Syracuse Adams:

Do black women writers hate black men?

[s.W.S.N.B.N.]:

No—black men hate their damned selves. We’re just angry because we’re so disappointed in the destruction black men bring to black culture, and then blame it on the white man. It’s tiresome as hell, but the only man I’ve ever loved is black and I’m grateful for our two sons. The real problem in African-American culture is the colorist hatred that black men have for black women and children, but because of sexism, that fact goes overlooked.

Oh, thanks! I think Darlene Conley looks so queenly and glam in that pic, so that's why I chose it. Her passing has been in the back of my mind all week -- to me, she embodied B&B as much as Stephanie Flannery does. I will miss what she brought to Daytime because she was unlike any other character on the soaps. Kinda like what [s.W.S.N.B.N.] is proposing for Daytime, really.

It still stuns me to think that somebody who is viewed as so markedly "different" actually represents returning to Daytime what it has lost over the past decade! I'm not really concerned with Ms. Boof's past, I just love what she's saying about Daytime and the erudite, forceful, no BS manner in which she is saying it. Plus, Days those few months she wrote some of it was Must-See. Like, overnight, the show leapt forward in intelligence, consistency and entertainment.

Having said that, those books you mentioned have got me really intrigued! I am off to search for them on Amazon right now.

ETA: I think [!@#$%^&*] would be phenom in Hogan's writing team at days but, failing that, she would do wonders at OLTL, AMC, GH, GL, ATWT -- even B&B.

I would be willing to give her chance, but her unstability kills me. I do give her a WORD on her comments toward that joke known as BET. However, I disagree with her notion on Michael Richards. It was more than just the "N" word for me. But that's another issue all together, so yeah...GO [!@#$%^&*]! Whoo.

[Ponz]

JESUS! This woman is MENTAL!

But I love her!!!

Dear Kevin and Jeff.

Put this in your pipe and smoke it!

Love,

Ponz

Count me in on the totally agree with BET notion. BET is a JOKE.

Instead of developing original programming for the network, the show continues to perpetuate stereotypes and the "N" word as well.

[!@#$%^&*] should try to pitch a soap to cable television. MyNetworkTV or FOX could use a daytime lineup.

[!@#$%^&*] is mad at NBC because, like a lot of us who watches DAYS or have watched DAYS in the past, this show is a part of us. It's a part of our childhood, part of our teenaged years, part of our adulthood. We remember stuff like "One Stormy Night," "Buried Alive," "Possession," etc. I wouldn't even LIKE soaps if DAYS hadn't introduce me to the genre. Even though I don't tune in every day, something would just be WEIRD about daytime if DAYS was over.

I'd just love to meet this woman. She seems SO passionate about soaps and about daytime. We NEED people like Burton Armus, [s.W.S.N.B.N.] and Christian McLauglin in daytime. Each and every one of these folks have stories about how daytime inspired them to be writers, or at least the latter two. Christian McLaughlin describes on his website(in great detail) how he mimmicked Morgan Fairchild's Jennifer Pace falling through a glass door on SEARCH FOR TOMORROW in his bedroom on his bed. LOL. THESE are the kind of people I want in daytime. People who care enough about the genre to share these stories, what they mean to them, and KNOW that they can provide the entertainment.

Maybe Boof will get a development deal with NewsCorp's FOX or MyNetworkTV, CW, or even something on another cabler.

Daytime isn't looking for people who want to write soaps, sadly.

[EricaKane4life]

LMFAO!!!!

Whoo???

You are so crazy Dru. LOL

[Q Steph]

She has huge ovaries.

Hey EricaKanefan4life, does [!@#$%^&*] interact with her fans? I want her to know about my petition to be on Oprah. I think we'd be a genesis of creativity. I like her vision of storytelling. It's similar to mine. I need to attract her attention. I'm also trying to birth my own soap opera but one baby step at a time.

[DrewH]

How is this woman aloud to make such threats like this and get away with it?

[Gray Bunny]

If GL wants to remain true to its roots, they'll grow some balls and hire THIS WOMAN to help continue GL's legacy. This is the modern-day Irna Phillips. It's been 70 years and the world of technology & entertainment has completely changed. We need someone to revamp, revolutionize, revitalize this genre. Want some buzz, GL? Hire [s.W.S.N.B.N.]!!!

[aMLCproduction]

LMAO. I love Koola though. I think Daytime needs her and everything she sad she is right on every leve.

[EricaKane4life]

Koola!?

LOL!!!!!!!!

People really dog her name, but that was cute.

[Im-n-a-whirl]

Ya think, lady?! Brash as she may be, she seems to speak for the masses with those comments!

[EricaKane4life]

DEIDRE HALL was not happy with [s.W.S.N.B.N.]'s comments.

I found this posted on the GUEST BOOK at [s.W.S.N.B.N.]'s web site.

Comments: Nothing you ever say is pretty. I've read your posts on a board where you have your own forum - and found you to be one of the most nasty, disgusting, racist, lying pools of vomit I've ever had the misfortune to come across. I thank God that Days and NBC didn't hire your sorry untalented ass and I hope I never hear your name again. Bye [!@#$%^&*]! Don't let the sanity hit you in the ass on the way out... Cathleen Jean Paradis Deidre Hall's Fan Club President *Deidre Hall asked me to post this.

[KLN]

That would be CJ from the "Marlena & Friends" board.

I sincerely doubt that Deidre told CJ to call [!@#$%^&*] a nasty, disgusting, racist lying pool of vomit. I mean, I could be wrong... but something here makes me REALLY doubt it.

I wonder if Deidre knows about this?

[Im-n-a-whirl]

I thought Deidre's official site was called Marlena.com?
