Gratuitous Keanu post
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
While the rest of you have been discussing totally trivial matters like Eurocentric education and government corruption, I’ve been pondering this vastly more important question:
Why is Keanu Reeves splish-splashing with a topless China Chow?
And what are the racial implications of this self-professed “white boy” possibly dating a fellow multiracial Asian?
Cause you know, if he wants to explore his multiracial identity, I can totally help him with that.

Just take pictures, Carmen. Lots and lots of pictures. I think you need to explore his multiracial identity at great length.

Imagine the conversations!
Carmen: “Do feminists who address race and racism run the risk of diluting feminism? What is it about Michelle Obama that many Americans find so threatening? Will white people be able to overcome their fear of racial retribution from a black president?”
Keanu: “Whoa…”
Latoya: “In a nutshell KBR, like a few other companies, were responsible for providing needed on the ground services in Iraq. In order to get these kinds of contracts, you have to bid for them and show your pricing and an estimated cost for the full job. The government then evaluates these bids and selects the one that will get the job done and save taxpayers the most money. (In theory, that is.) After the contract is awarded, the contractors must submit invoices to be paid. If the invoices are accurate, the payment is processed – if the invoice is incorrect or for a higher amount, the government can stop services and investigate why this is happening. Unfortunately, that’s not quite what happened.”
Keanu: “Whoa…”

LOL @ Minotaar.
Well, if Carmen gets a hold of him, I think his mouth will be too busy to talk
@superchunk12 –
Well, we could try to be equal opportunity objectifiers…but where’s the fun in that?

@ superchuck12–friend, you ain’t seen nothing yet.:-D
@ Minotaar–nuh-uhn, don’t let that “whoa” fool you. I heard Keanu has given a spanking to anyone challenging him to a game of chess.

Seeing Keanu never fails to make me smile! Thank you, I needed that. I don’t know if him playing around with China Chow means much, though. I’ve seen a photo with him hanging out with Lucy Liu and that never amounted to anything. Keanu has also professed to being stunned by Janet Jackson’s beauty, but he’s still a self-professed white boy who usually goes for short-term relationships with white girls, so oh well.

One of the reasons why I love this blog so much is the unabashed Keanu admiration. I suppose as a Black woman people find it odd that I heart him sooo much but oh well! I actually saw him once up close. He has very porcelain skin and is even better looking in person than on film.

OMG- that sort of reminds me of something I saw on “The Family Guy” a few nights ago. Peter has Peter-erotica read on tape by Betty White: “The hot chick–she was Italian…or maybe some type of Spanish?”

Nope, friend, not at all. Fine is fine, and Keanu is one fine-ass man.

I don’t even know if that was supposed to sound dirty, but it did.

He refers to himself as a “bougeois white boy” in an early interview…I’ve always wondered why…
