I just finished watching your show from today and as always I really enjoyed it! However, I feel very strongly that as a mutt I would not be doing myself or the rest of us who live in this melting pot we call the U.S justice if I dont voice my sadness of what I heard today, and have been hearing for months now. I voted for Barack Obama and am of course extremely proud to call him president. But not because he is "black" especially since he is not, he is actually a self proclaimed mutt! I voted for him because he is a strong and highly intelligent man that I believe with lead our country with his heart and brain not his wallet. I believe he truly cares about doing what is right for our country not what is easy. And he has great plans to fix the wrongs that has so far caused many of us to suffer. But I am so sick of hearing everyone say things like my president is black as if its some kind of racial reason he was voted in. If that is why black america voted for him then in my opinion they truly missed the real issue and are no better then any other race who didnt want to vote for him because they thought he was black. Yes his has brown skin and I agree we needed to see a change as the young man said on the show today someone that looks more like the rest of us is important. But President Obama is clearly very proud of his mixed heritage just like most of us mutts are! IF race must be constantly vocalized then we need to be vocalizing the fact that it is ok to embrace
 
Hi Tyra! My name is Tanisha. I'm watching your show right now about the beautiful 14 yr. old battling bone cancer. She's is an absolute inspiration. I'm 27 yrs. old and was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease almost 3 yrs. ago. It's nothing in comparison to her struggle but it has definitely been very difficult for me to deal with. I've lost a lot of friends that didn't know how to deal with me, the love of my life who couldn't handle a sick girlfriend and and my father to a heart attack. At one point I was so depressed but my amazing mom took care of me and got me back on my feet. During my depression from this sickness, I too cut off all of my hair to forget the sadness and heartache that my sickness seemed to have caused. I know now that it's all a state of mind. No matter what you're going through in life, a positive way of thinking usually makes it a lot easier to get through! I still have a lot to learn on how to cope with my disease but that 14 yr. old young lady truly inspired me today. Thank you! P.S. - I have looked up to you since I was 13 yrs. old. You're amazing!!! Love ya Tyra!
