Why are you comparing apples and oranges here? And why go out of your way to defend Marissa; she put herself in the public eye and is now under scrutiny by other black writers and bloggers. If you want to complain about a black woman being "trashed", go complain to the black writers and bloggers calling her out and stop worrying about what people here have to say. -_-
