Couple splits after two weeks

After a short wedded romance, comedian and movie star Eddie Murphy has separated from his wife of two weeks, Tracey Edmonds.

Murphy’s representative released a statement to TMZ.com yesterday explaining the breakup:

"After much consideration and discussion, we have jointly decided that we will forego having a legal ceremony as it is not necessary to define our relationship further.

"While the recent symbolic union in Bora Bora was representative of our deep love, friendship and respect that we have for one another on a spiritual level, we have decided to remain friends."

Murphy was formally married to Nicole Mitchell in 1993. The two divorced in 2006. Tracey Edmonds is the former wife of super-producer and singer, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds.

Sorry, I forgot to include the offspring of wealthy blacks, not having black friends; not even rich black friends.

I personally have an inexhaustible hatred for elitist blacks, two generations removed from the projects, that look down on any person even remotely tanned a shade to dark.

I will always pray for their financial failure so that they are reminded that they do not have some kind of magical acceptance beyond the color of green: money. Don't lose it.

Don't blame Tracey for running to a "white boy" when every african american major entertainer, just about, marry almost exclusively white girls. What is a black woman to do when black men look at her as though she will contaminate them? Haven't you noticed that well known successful blacks don't even hang out together as though it would be some kind of signal of failure?

It is the craziest thing that I have ever seen and what a phenomena that blacks will never be as racially strong as other cultures.

It is a shame. We will not all get to the promise land together. We are going to be absorbed into the white culture and feel self satisfied as individuals while proudly showing contempt to our own completely diluted and denuded race.

I babble. I hope you got my drift.

My Lady friends, young and old tell me that Eddie is really Gay and will really never marry again. His relationships with Tracie and Mel B. is only a front.
But Tracie did just what we figured she would do and ran to a white Boy. God bless Vanessa Williams.
