She did not audition for Dreamgirls

"In 2006 Riley auditioned unsuccessfully for the part of Effie White in Dreamgirls". According to this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBL3FhOdQ4k , at 2:40 Amber herself said it's a rumor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:388:E000:FC00:8457:3825:B6D0:11EC (talk) 13:49, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information and a pointer to its source. That sentence has been removed from the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:21, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whitney Tribute was coincidental

I read that it was coincidental that "I Will Always Love You" was aired 3 days after Whitney died. They had been planning it, and had obviously recorded it long before it aired. They dedicated the episode to Whitney Houston with a message at the end of the episode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.119.242.195 (talk) 23:46, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blackness

Moved commentary below from article space. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Attract and Repel ‖ 06:49, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to the "one-drop rule" [see wiki] which has historically structured U.S. definitions of race and esp. "blackness," any portion of African descent makes one "black" (or, today, "African American"). Despite our contemporary understanding of mixed-raced identity, it would be incorrect and at times even offensive to exclude someone with African American ancestry from the designation "African American." Particularly because most African-Americans are of mixed racial ancestry and yet still designate themselves (and are designated by others) as "African American." One's designation as "African American" is not determined by a quantum of "black" blood, i.e., one is not more "black" than another if one has more or more recent "black" ancestry. Neither is one more "black" if one's skin is darker than another who identifies as "black."

Therefore, Rycroft should be considered the *first* African-American winner of Dancing with the Stars and Amber Riley should the second African-American "celebrity" contestant to win "DWTS." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lweldon97 (talk • contribs) 5 December 2015
