“I Don’t Have Slavery in My Family” - Karrine Steffans

If there were an award for ditsy broads, Karrine Steffans just proved she’d be first in line to receive one.
Who is Karrine Steffans?  she is an American author, most notably of the Vixen series of books. She has worked as an actress and as a hip hop model, having appeared in more than 20 music videos.
In an interview at Bay Area’s 106 KMEL, Superhead made it clear that her head is really not all that super after all.
Steffans separated herself from us jacked-brained, shameful Black Americans because she’s from the Caribbean, where she and “a lot of islanders” did not experience slavery.

While it’s true that some Black folks in the islands (South America, Central America, and the States for that matter) didn’t go through the hells of slavery, I guess she didn’t get the memo that her native St. Thomas did in fact witness shackles and chains. And it was a Caribbean island (Hispaniola, or modern day Haiti and Dominican Republic) that saw the first shipment of slaves decades before a Black prisoner ever touched the soil of North America. (Oh.)

The former video vixen even went as far as saying she doesn’t have “African-American struggles.”   The African Americans did not like her respond here is what some said:

Let’s just hope we don’t see any books on history or psychology from Ms. Not-So-Super-Brain in the near future—clearly, that would be a tragedy.
