Yeah I knew she is adopted. And other sites say that by genetics she is 1/4 black.

But none of that is important. What is important is that she identifies with Lionel Richie and his wife, and they are her true parents. And most of all, she says she is black.

Anyway…this is a silly discussion, really. I guess we could argue more clearly that Naomi Campbell didn’t get the sentencing Foxy got.

Fendi bag stilletto shoes? What is it with you foxy? Grow up or maybe this jail sentence will make you grow up. Sometimes thats what it takes because thats what it took for me to think about my actions. You just can’t go around thinking because you was a celeb you can do this or maybe you just haven’t run up on the right person. I’m a Black Afro American and the skin don’t matter you deserve whatever the judge offers to you and that goes for anybody pregnant or not!

I know that she considers herself to be black (I heard her say that on Tyra) but she still isn’t lol.

I’m guessing that most of the people on that site do not realize that Nicole is adopted.

C – In a really tacky interview by Norm Macdonald, she claimed she is black. http://gothamist.com/2003/12/02/nicole_richie_is_black.php

She is NOT pregnant. She’s only pretending because she thought that would lessen her jail time and it backfired! Just wait and see…..

Emily,
Nicole is not black. She is of Black Creole, and Mexican decent.

I am not sure of Foxy’s past (wikipedia is not a reliable source btw) but I do think that her punishment is a bit harsh.

About weddings – I have two acquaintances who were married several years ago while the groom was (and still is) incarcerated. The only way they could get married was by proxy – someone else had to stand in as the groom during the ceremony. There’s some legal work involved in the documentation, obviously.

I don’t know if this is how it works in all jails.

anonyomus, i really doubt that they will let her our for her wedding. They dont let criminals out on holidays, their birthdays, for funerals even. I think that the point of jail is punishment. I think she may have to reschedule her wedding!

WHile it is sad she will have to possibly give birth in jail, it is also sad that 3 women were viciously assulted by Foxy.

I hate when people say don’t bring race into it. You can’t hide from the fact that black Americans get proportionally longer and harsher sentences than whites for the same crimes. It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. There have been many studies, although I don’t think it takes a study to see that there is a problem. Anyway I agree with everyone who says the sentence is too harsh. Good luck to her and I hope she comes out of this stronger.
