Didn't this person also spend a couple years on MAD TV? Correct me if I'm wrong.-WikiMommy


Hey... I don't understand the reason for your reverting my revisions ... I think that they were all appropriate, but many were not even at all controversial .... Let me know your thoughts ....

It is stated in the article that Tracee is the daughter of Diana Ross and Robert Ellis Silberstein. It's no secret that Diana Ross is a black woman and that Robert Silberstein is Jewish, thus making the blatant reminder that Tracee herself is a black and Jewish a bit redundant and insulting to peoples intelligence. "Tracee Ellis Ross (born Tracee Joy Silberstein on October 29, 1972, in Los Angeles, California) is an American Black half-Jewish actress." sounds a bit gaudy and convoluted. Simply pointing out that she is an American actress is fine. — DtownG 03:03, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Whether it is a secret that Robert Silberstein is Jewish misses the point. Not everyone whose father is Jewish is Jewish. With most people, in fact, that is not the case, as Judaism follows the mother not the father, other than if people convert or follow the Reform approach to the issue. Plus, if you check the bios of all the other Jewish actors and actresses, you will see that this is the common approach on Wikipedia. So I think that your above statement as to redundancy and insult to people's intelligence is misplaced. Consequently, I am reverting it.--Epeefleche 22:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me Epeefleche, but there was nothing wrong with my edits. Yet it was you who came and reveresed them. You seem to have control issues. - 152.163.100.201 04:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I reverted his edits back to your version. He, however, continues to troll the article with his redundant and pointless revisions. DtownG 05:05, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Most of the material, confused by DtownG's constant reverts, has been put back in. The chart is especially very well done. Please let us know about anything else that has been lost in the confusion of the constant reverts, that is important, so that it can be put back in as well. Thanks. --Epeefleche 05:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
