Look, I’m not going to pretend I don’t get a lot of stories and videos from TMZ, so I am saying the following with a small dose of hypocrisy.
TMZ sucks.
Exhibit A: this post about Eve.
The posts are usually written properly, but, suddenly, since they’re discussing a black person, the writers revert to “black speak” and describe a paparazzi shot of the rapper at a hair salon as a photo of Eve “caught getting her hair did on Tuesday. Oh no they di’int!”
When you lack creativity, racial stereotypes are always a great writing tool to fall back on.

Well at least this shows that Eve’s hair is clean unlike some other non-black celebs that look like they have lice or some shit.
I don’t even click links to TMZ anymore. They are IDIOTS. Eve looks very pretty and we all wash our hair. How is this remotely embarrassing?
Whenever a I see a black face on TMZ, I can guarantee the posts will be racist, and dumb.
I don’t even go to TMZ anymore because of things like that.
in all honesty, TMZ is disrespectful to EVERYONE! not just black people! i do visit their blog and they “cross tha line” daily!! also, just because it is a white site doesnt mean there arent black people working there, because there are! i watch the show(tmz) and they are pretty upfront about everything! there was a emailer who worte to them ” why do you only ask white celebs about other white celebs, and black celebs about other balck celebs?” for them to even air tht question makes me think that they arent exactly racist, but more TACTLESS.
yes i’m black. lol
also (lol)
the photo is filed under beauty, i could see if it were filed under ‘hott mess’ or ‘ghetto fabulous’ or something like that. it clearly says it ABOVE the caption of the photo!
FILED UNDER: paparazzi photo and BEAUTY!!
I GUESS NO ONE SAW THAT.
Uh, Dana, they are always rude but the racist crap with people of color is so unnecessary. She is at a spa presumably coming from a steam room which would explain her head covered.
Do you work for TMZ?? Of course being a gossip site, everyone gets dissed, but they pull out all the stereotypes when it comes to black people, and the racism of the posters there is blistering.
Btw, them filing that pic of Eve under “beauty”, was clearly them being IRONIC.
The racist shit seems to be reserved for Black and Hispanic women. The racist comments from visitors is generally for all minorities.
if you seek you shall find! if you think its racist (weither it is or not) then it IS! they say the nastiest things about everyone! from britney spears to paris hilton and all the other little white girls in between! they very rarely even post thing about black ppl (now THAT’s racist imo) there ARE black ppl working for TMZ and most likely, a black person wrote that blog. either way, i feel like you all are seeing what you want to see! you all act like black ppl are the only one s offended by TMZ! i feel like we make everything a “black” issue when it’s not. they offend everyone! so what would you have them do, treat everyone like crap except black ppl? thats would be kinda suspect to me! they are an EOE offender, everyone gets it! but if yall want to be angry about nonsense, go right ahead. i just try not to label everything as being rascist just because it’s about a black person! so what do you call it when they talk shit about white ppl? is that racist too?
