How did Tina Turner fly under the radar?

I think most Black folks have a bit of "coon" in them

Some more than others. I believe White people are the most attracted to (and interested in) the type of Black folks that are extremely self-loathing and pro-White because they appeal to the narcissistic nature of Whites

I mean, if you're raised a insecure and naracisstic culture like White Americans are, what can be more secure than to sing the praises of a person of color that hate's themselves? A Black person who loves themselves and doesn't think of White people as superior will never have a ginormous White following... never

I don't see how this is shocking, her whole lifestyle is anti-black imo. She has always been like this. It is just in her time and when she made her comeback we admired people for their talent. Today you all judge more than just talent if your favorite celebrity says one thing wrong folks get all "oh no she/he didn't" instead of just enjoying their talent.....Tina is right about one thing white people are the ones who brought most of her music and put her on the map. She was serious about doing rock and roll. She had lived out loud with her love of all things white....I am surprised to find that she has so little NA dna, because she looks like she has more NA in her than white. I think Tina should order another test, lol. Anyway she needed the white folks to help her because with just the black audience there was already to much competition...People say what they want about Aunt Re Re, but she is a soul sister and she stays true to her Detroit self and the white folks and black folks still love and respect her. No matter how bad the outfits get,  Queen Aretha!

she looks really indian to me

She looks Black and White to me, which is what she is. I don't even think we know what a part Indian person looks like, since everyone claims to be part Indian and most people are not.
