Essence reader calls cover model a white supremacist

Posted by James, 11 Jan

essence on reggie bushThe February issue of Essence Magazine: Black Men, Love & Relationships, has Reggie Bush, the NFL player who is in an interracial relationship with Kim Kardashian. The main focus for this issue is celebrating Black love. Having Reggie on the cover really aroused a flood of seething comments from readers just because he is dating a non-black woman and the magazine targets Black women.

Here one of those comments:

“Why is there a white supremacist on the cover of Essence magazine? Because any person who thinks white women are better is indeed a white supremacists. Having this man on the cover is beyond offensive to me as an African American woman. He is just another crude reminder of all the black men who perpetuate racism against black women, by rejecting them and showing the utmost disrespect by choosing to date non-black women”

So, what is so wrong with celebrating the committed and loving interracial relationship of this Black man? Assuming the issue was about Black women, love and relationships and Halle Berry was on the cover that’s celebrating Black love, would we have seen the same reaction?

    All these 'educated' opinions posted are still opinions. But since most of the women in this post are classifying all black men into one group, I want to ask all women one question. Why are you being hypocrites? For all this huffing and puffing in outrage about black men and their choices being a symptom of a deeper dysfunction, you will sacrifice your preference of Black men in a heartbeat for the promise of security and stability in a relationship. Out loud, Sistas say Black, Black, Black, but if a well to do White man expresses a SERIOUS interest in you, you would SERIOUSLY consider it. I'm reminded of Dennis Rodman and his response to Black women's criticism of his choice to date White women. He stated that when he was in high school and college, every black woman turned him down and talked bad to and about him, and refused to date him. In fact, the only women who expressed any interest in him when he was broke was White women. But as soon as he became rich and famous, these same Black women came out the woodwork wanting to date him. His response to that was that Black women can keep on calling him ugly and ridiculing him because if you though he wasn't good enough for you when he was broke, having money shouldn't change that. So he will keep dating White women and Black women can keep kissing his ass. Regardless of what you think of Dennis Rodman, his words ring true and many Black men can relate to his thinking. Look at a typical (not every) Black woman's profile on a dating site and you will usually find a list of demands. If you aint this...if you dont have that....blah, blah, blah. I applaud you on your success, but I as a Black man should not be made to feel like am at a job interview or on the witness stand when I am on a date with you. I end my diatribe by stating that it is RIDICULOUS to interpret a person's personal choices in dating as being a statement of their race pride or lack thereof. It's just simply their choice.

    Hey 12cuddle. (Waving) Listen Kim K was doing her thing "before meeting Reggie Bush". Karrine Superhead had a hard life and had to "depend" on men to take care of her. A big difference here. However, she got ahead in life makes me respect her survival instinct but she is a 'damaged woman". Eddie Winslow from Family Matters even said she was crazy. See, I don't knock Karrine that much because they all deserve each other. The rich black men that fucked her while they were "married". It takes some skill to keep rich black men coming "back". She is cute but she there are many black women that are cute. She managed to "stand out" among the competition in "music videos and rap groupies". Like Eddie Winslow said " You knew she was a snake but you still went and played with it. Now your shocked it bit you". The funny thing is rich black men STILL FUCK HER. See, when black women say men are attracted to sluts. I can believe it. Even Bill Mahr (white guy) from HBO wanted the "slut". He almost 'wifed her". For the record, Karrine is an intelligent girl, articulate and can even 'act". I saw her in that movie with Vin Diseal. He played a cop wanting revenge for the death of his girlfriend from drug lords. She was Larenz tate "wife" in the movie. That is why I don't understand why she a slut! Amazing.

    I can agree with you to a certain extent....but with the sex tape she didn't put it out there to make $, that happened behind her back without her knowledge, whereas Korrin Stephans (whom i am assuming your talking about) put her business out there for the world to see and to make $ at other people's expense. No one knew she would prob expose them like that....whereas Kim i don't think she woke up one morning and said hey lets make a video of us in an intimate moment and then sell it. If the video made her a lil more popular then so be it, we can't prevent that nor knock her for folks liking her. Karrin isn't doing so bad, she still has a second book, got married etc. Kim phucked one guy in a video, Karrin talks about ALL the men she phucked etc. There is a big difference to me. I guess it is what it is.

    nah...lol the sex tape made her famous, she might of had some money because her daddy was an attorney. The point of that was that she has done some questionable stuff and it has made her famous and placed on the A-list a black woman does it and she gets no love. Peace and love won't change the fact that the two are treated and viewed differently in this country even after having done some of the same things. I KNOW, reggie bush wouldn't have taken the Video Vixen home to mom.

    i'm just not into assumptions....we can't assume anything about what $ she has or had prior to the sex tape. None of us live their lives now or then....that would be like me saying something about you and you thinking "woman you don't know me or my life"......some stuff have come after but none of us know what was in the works prior....if nothing was then so be it, either way i don't care about that stuff. But folks act (not necessarily you) act like they know everyones life. Life in general is tough, dating is tough so why add extra shyt to our lives and make it tougher. (general statement)

    MULATTO is an archaic word, it was applied to people who are mixed and designed to attack the humanity of the person. It means half one animal half another animal in spanish and when applied to a human it is an insult. The word suggests you are half aniaal and not a whole human being. Just like the n word, designed to tear down a person's humanity. Don't call people mulattos it is a racial slur coming from racist spanish people that invented it to make fun of "mixed" people.

    I totally agree with you bigeyes31! Halle did state that. She also in "America" alot of Mulattoes identify themselves as Black and some don't. Have you ever pondered or question of what is Black in America? Look at the groups stated in my response. A lot of Latinos(Spanish,m Portuguese, French) who are born here and have visible African features don't even identify as "Black", just because they don't speak English or have a Latin last name. Ridiculous eh.

    Okay then Halle Berry herself must be subscribing to the one drop then because she has said out her own mouth that she is biracial but identifies as black. I agree with what you are saying to a degree but race DOES matter in this country,not in heaven but in this country.

    YES!!!!!! You are awesome 12cuddlewith!! Finally a well deserved and justified response, stated soooo beautiful/.eloquently!. I hope of you read this post and use critical thinking before attacking. Life is too short, God wont turn a person away to enter the pearly gates based on color, mix or race; the same with the devil, he will gladly take anyone. In short, all the bickering is irrelevant in the scheme of life. Besides Halle Berry is Mulatto/multi-racial, she is not "Black", to some in America maybe, the uneducated and the one who subscribe the archaic 1 drop rule, and only if you speak English. Apparently it doesnt apply to Spanish, Portuguese or Middle Eastern people. Race,its all political in America. We rally are 1 race with a very few degrees of separation!

    LOL, Okay you have bumped your head and slung a pole. Nobody knew who Kim Kardashian was until she did the sex tape, the reality show and the businsess came AFTER THAT. She might have wanted to start a business regardless but the infamy and the money that followed help put her on her way. Please...,lol, the same way the "tell-all" book the Video Vixxen put her in the bigger spot-light. EVERYBODY knows that.

    Again, i havent seen anyone comment on the article or what they saw or anything that was in the magazine....everyone ran quick to make an opinion and a judgement.....without taking a look at it but because he is a black man who dates out of his race....and this is what i still dont understand if EVERYONE is on a interracial dating site then why isn't everyone open then and why are folks so damn judgemental.......people are too quick to make judgements and tell others what they have to do with their life. If Halle wants to date a white man so be it then.....why is it anyones problem....no one phucking him or her.......or is that what the problem is cause Halle wouldnt want ya. Now as i don't agree with a black man generalizing what he doesn't like in a black woman yeah it is annoying and yeah from what i have heard it is painful but for every black man that downs ya there is another man who won't and will love you and appreciate you like you should.......but my question is why do black women think its all peaches and cream on our end either.....we all still deal with the issues of a man....whether he cheats, lies, play games, won't commit, lives with his momma, or whatever goes with a relatiohship, or even if its a good relationship black women experience it to......the same shyt he doing to you you best beleive he is doing to another.....no matter what race she is........but as of today, no one on here dictates my life....no one pushed me out of their vagina, no one is paying my bills and where in the book of life it says i have to date who everyone else thinks i should date. No one is in charge of me but myself, if i want to succeed in life....how can i do it..i have to make it happen....if i want a new car...who pays for it....i do.....if i want to date a single black man....whose decision is it......MINE! If everyone on here wants to freeking complain then don't be on an interracial dating site, and if your on this site to start bs with people....get a freeking life.....I don't mind talking and sharing opinions and what not but some of these comments are straight bs..... And by the way Kim K is successful regardless of the sex tape....she was up and around before it....no one ever wants to look at the big picture but yet just point fingers...NO ONE knows where she would be regardless....she has a successful business amongst other things.

    Diversity. That's why I respect The Hughes Brothers. They started with 'Menace 2 Society', but went on to do 'Dead Presidents', 'New York, I Love You', and 'Book of Eli'. Let's not forget Halle's role as a crackhead in 'Jungle Fever'. I only liked her in the 'X-Men' movies and 'Boomerang'. Denzel's Oscar for best supporting actor in 'Glory' cemented his career, in my opinion. That's when his name became synonymous with "fine black man". No award for 'Man on Fire'? 'John Q' (even though I hated that movie)? I'm not a Tyler Perry fan (because of the dress), but I liked 'Why Did I Get Married' because it dealt with some REAL marital issues, not some superficial, "black" relationship problems. I don't like the demonizing of successful black women either, but I really hate when a black man is overly demonized like all of Michael Beach's characters (Waiting to Exhale, Soul Food, First Sunday). The kind of character that in real life would have gotten his butt kicked a long time ago, but we're forced to watch is antics for the sake of the storylines. And he seems like he'd be a cool guy if it wasn't for the type casting. Black actors and actresses have it hard unless we play the roles THEY want us to play. A strung-out black woman or another black man that can't be trusted. Many of them need to examine whether the roles they're accepting are really important enough and have the potential to make or break our image as a whole. Even Dave Chappelle said no to $50 million and then flew to Africa.

    Tyler Perry Number 1 needs to stop wearing a dress! Number 2 stop demonizing successful black women. He seems to have a dislike for Professional black women. He makes them look "evil". Number 3 Include more white characters and Hispanic characters. Other than that, he is a good story teller.

    Yeah How could I forget my favorite movie Boomerang!Awesome comedy and I like losing Isiah as well,just forgot to mention them. Yeah Dorthy Dandrige it is sad that she ended up like that but then again she was our black Maryln Monroe who we all know had a checkered, freak past but look how she is still upheld as an icon by white folks, so I think if she can be forgiven,surely Dorthy Dandrige can.You have to look at the times,back in those days you had to go through the white power structure to get anywhere.Who owned the radio stations, the record companies? She must have felt like she had to make deals with devil,so to speak. I love Denzel but I didn't like Training Day and still have never finished it. I mean if he is going to be given an oscar for being a "thug", I think American Gangster should have been the one, frankly I saw better acting. I saw "Precious", I mean I don't hate it but I was more impressed with Monique. The only thing I'll say is that we don't recognize the Precious' in our communities because many of them don't physically look like precious.Many of them keep a smile on their pretty faces but are hurting inside. So, yes they do exist. I like the fact that Tyler Perry is doing the best can,employing black actresses and actors. I think he needs to change up his style;I'm tired of all the sap,lol. Overall though I like him.

    Dear Big Eyes It is a damn shame Halle Berry got the Oscar for Monster's ball. Denzel won one for Training day the same night. Denzel was gracious enough to let Halle bask in her glory. I admire Denzel for that. Denzel won for being a 'crooked cop". I do knock Halle Berry but the attraction to the "thug side" of life made Denzel's career "take off". I personally think "Training day" really cemented his career. Monster's Ball did the "reverse for Halle Berry". Kerry Washington is a great actress but in comparison to Halle "hell no". Halle Berry just never got the recognition and she will never get after that "Monster's ball" fiasco. Black actresses have it hard, face it. If he wasn't for Tyler Perry giving them exposure, man I can't even say that. Black actresses are STILL hardly getting roles. Now would Monster's Ball been better for Halle without the "graphic scene", hmmm maybe. Halle was great in "Losing Isiah", "Boomerang"(underrated performance for a comedy). Dorthy Dandrige, how ironic. The singer that got used by white men and end died alone. I won't even get into "Precious". I get mixed reactions about that movie. Some black women like the movie and some "hate" it. Yes, "Precious" black women do exist. Amazing.

    I don't agree that reggie bush is a white supremacist but I wonder if Kim kardashian was a black woman whose claim to fame was a sex tape would he still be seen in public with her. He would treat her like the skank she is,sleep with her, keep her far away from his money and his momma. For instance, I haven't seen ANY man place the "video vixen" on their arm in public recently,lol. Now she was once associated with Bill Maher(been a fan of his shows since Politically Incorrect btw,lol) but that fizzled REAL fast, go figure. I figure Essence magazine is just like all the other black owned and run franchises....BET is anything but black. White men own that and look at the images it portrays on a constant basis to our black boys and girls. Black hair care products with the exception of 2-3 are still black owned and manufactured. I don't care who reggie bush dates;I just wish he would be consistent when it comes to picking women of value. I have to agree with L. Queens once again, if you got a point, you gotta a point. Halle Berry wins an oscar for riding a white man like a whore because he gave her a couple of rides to the store,lol Man get outta here.The same whole white man is the hero type stuff. Wow, I thank GOD I have good strong black (five)biological brothers to keep me balanced,lol. No oscar for Dorthy Dandrige, no oscar for Gothica, yeah keep thinking "eros, philia" and "philios" love will conquer all when it comes to white portral of the black woman...imagination and utopia. Peace from the unassimilated.

    Essence puts Halle Berry on the cover and she is married to a "freeloading washed up white man model". She got two babies, her daughter and that white boy that she "pampers" too. But Reggie Bush is a white supremacist?????????? He don't freeload off his woman and he has a decent career. What the fuck is wrong those black women editors up at Essence? No wonder these black magazines are going bankrupt. How about they put Halle Berry back on the cover f Essence when she was 2 dollar hooker in the movie "Monster's Ball". Her acting career hasn't been the same since she did that movie.

    @Topdeck_23 I think what Bri is saying is that black women are put down more for the choices we make then white women. I haven't seen a single white guy on this topic put down Kim Kardashian because she is with Reggie Bush. And quite frankly you probably won't. That what's disappointing about our people; we can't even stick up for one another about the choices we make for ourselves. We contanstly have to put each other down.

    Bri, I apologise you have taken offense to my comments and opinion. I definitely have not forgotten history, and i cant pretend I know how it feels to walk in a black woman or black man shoes and what they go through each day as I have only ever had glimpses into that from the abuse ive received by both black and whites for dating a man of colour. What I can say is that i dont want to see the history you talk of continue its path of destruction and devistation, and unless we all come together and stop the separation in races... this will never get any better. I dont recall mentioning I know the thoughts of every black man, however I do put forward the argument that 'could he actually have fallen for personality, etc...something other then skin colour. As black men may put down and degrade some black women, white men can also do the same to white women. Abuse verbal and physical happens to black women... and yet again also to white woman. Why one case is more important than another? Although I understand the argument of minorities and majorities in races, but on a case to case basis it isnt acceptible for any man to do this to any female, no matter what race. I am here only to put my opinion across, and my opinion is love one another, black, white, male, female, whatever it be. I respect your views may be different to mine.

    @fatooti I'm sure you are ONLY offended by being called or identified as black,but the question is: Do you get as upset if you are mistaken for white or do you just let them "slide" with that??? Another thing "who" identifies you as black, whites, blacks, hispanics? Who? ( this is not a rhetorical question either)In white america's eyes you are everything and anything but white. The end.

    @ Topdeck_23...I can't believe how naive some people are. The Black community is full of Black men who degrade Black women and put others on a pedestal so unless you talk to every single Black male in an interracial relationship you cannot really say for a fact whether or not it's love or prejudice. Have you missed the whole history of this country to date? Did everyday of your life prior to now just disappear....maybe by way of selective amnesia..or maybe you're not a minority..but popular media and popular opinion has been teaching Blacks that they are inferior for centuries...so therefore when certain Black men date out you don't know whether or not they're just doing it because they feel their own women are somehow less attractive, less deserving, and less worthy. I love how you can quote what you want but conveniently skipped over the commentary from Black men that was negative about Black women..there are a few here who were so kind as to provide lists on reasons why no one, including Black men, want to date Black women...so I guess when a man like that only approaches women who aren't Black society calls it love, right? What you're really saying is as long as Black women are the ones being dogged in a public forum society will cease to give a damn...if White women were thrown to the wayside and expressed issues with the hypocrisy that made it that way the whole world would listen. Only about 30% of Black women are married...if we complain it's because we're sick of society treating us like untouchables and making excuses for Black men who validate all the negative images painted of us. There are dozens of Black men who are in interracial relationships because they exclusively date ONLY non-Black women...how are they not the ones who are making things about race? Many Black men pick their partners based on color alone and nothing else..every interracial relationship with a Black man isn't someone who just fell into love and it happened to be with someone of another race...some intentionally planned for it to be that way, open your eyes

    And we wonder why there is racism in the world? Because people actually support this readers comments and 'understand' it. Quote: "Because any person who thinks white women are better is indeed a white supremacists." Why does dating a white woman mean any race is better then another... could he actually have fallen in love with a personality and interests rather then ones colour of skin? Colour is the only thing that separates us...we are all built the same inside, im sick of hearing black, white and all other colour issues... we are a race... 'the human race'... people need to get over it... and just as i would not support a white woman saying 'our men' dating a woman of colour, i dont support a black woman saying 'our men' dating a white woman! There is no such thing as 'our men', the Lord put all men on this earth to interact with all women. Why do these people think they are larger then God to make his decisions on who should fall in love with who? I think its great that they put someone like Reggie on the front cover. He shows that he is open to the world and all that is in it and maybe a few people could learn from that. And if this magazine is targeted to black women, im sure there are many that believe love is love...whether that is same race, interracial or more.. so let this magazine continue to bring all together as one.

    feel how u want on the subject but dont put others down for whom they love. Love is Love . I think you really cant understand it until it happens to you. Never been happier. Just live and let live.

    Dear Pastry I apologize if you were offended. You said this "i love my beautiful chocolate skin, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, my breasts. There is No self hating here. You are dead wrong for what youve said, people are here to make connections and find love…..why are you here?" I am here because I like your chocolate skin, thighs, lips, eyes and breasts. I hope that answered your question.

    That's just he dumbest sh*t I've ever heard. Basically what you are trying to do is justify you own racial hatered. Sit down and shut the hell up. It's men like you who make women in general want to give up on men. You not only hate on your own women but other races as well because of you own insecurities. If you had high self-esteem about yourself, you wouldn't care who black women dated. It seems to me the issue is YOU can't find a black woman who would put up with your behind so therefore you get on here trash talking because you are jealous that the black women you think you are entitled to are dating and marrying white men. Truth is, if you were all that and a bag of chips, you wouldn't be putting down your sistas Period. No woman I know black or white would put up with your crap and that's the truth of the situation. So, while you busy on here trying to put us down for dating outside of our race, you need to take that time to look yourself in the mirror and fix yourself. We have a saying too; When you point a finger the other four point right back at you. Keep that in mind the next time your decide to open your mouth.

    Thank you Lilly I think some people don't want to face the tough questions concerning interracial relationships. My cousin married Euro Trash from Germany while he was in the army. The "piggly wrinkled faced" white girl was horrible to look at it. My cousin looks similar to Reggie Bush at the time. He was a military workout "nut". My other cousin (not related to him), use to have a crush on him back in the day. She couldn't understand what he saw in this woman. Anyway, long story short, she put him in prison for 9 months just to get a green card to end up living with a fellow wrinkled face white man in the rich part of Long Island New York with HIS CHILD. The charges were eventually dropped for alleged domestic abuse. The judge was like sorry a veteran had to go through this. The moral of the story. Never think the grass is just automatically greener on the other side. Again my comment about Tameka and Shaniya with different kids by different fathers. I hardly see white men chasing them. They are not chasing the "Precious" black women of the world either. Let's cut out the nonesense immediately right now. Fenway makes good points. I am glad you put the smack down on these hypocritical black women. They want their hand in the white man's "pockets" and the black man's pens in their vagina. It just ain't going to work that way. I like Sherri's comments too. She focuses on her relationship. Most sellout black women "like to get out of their lane" even with a white boyfriend. Man look for that NEW blog Album. BLOG LEGEND, YOU WILL NEVER BE ONE Featured singles. "My sellout bullets whistle like" FT Mrs Kitty "I sent a sellout black girl hater postcards from PARADISE". " Dating Recession don't bother me" " Blog Street Hall of Fame" " Sellout black girl global economy" " Different day , Different sellout shit" " Mama said never trust a sellout black one" I am gone.

    Why does it seem to me that Americans are so hung up about race/colour. The colour of ones skin only accounts for some 2% of who they are does it matter? I am Arab like my grandparents before me, but since my family migrated to the west people have always tried to brand as as 'black' - which is what our phenotype is and we have alway fought against this, since our language culture is Arab. My question is this what does 'black' mean? To me it means nothing and its insulting (my opinion). We are all more closely related than some of us care to admit.

    Wow...why is he a white supremacist because he's in a relationship with a woman (Kim) who is NOT black? This is the dumbest thing i've read in a while.Yes i'm a black woman,i think the problem within the black community is acceptance.A lot of blacks are not capable or able to accept interracial relationships.My boyfriend is white and we've been together for a year and a half...love is color-blind and has no boundaries.Black women seem to think that if a black man is successful and marries or is dating a white woman;he's a sell-out or he's only dating a white woman because he can't handle a "real" and "strong" SISTA....Please stop this madness and ignorance.Oh and stop thinking that white women are taking or stealing all the "good" black men away from them.

    I continue to be amazed at the responses this topic generates. What amazes me is the responses from people who 1) CHOOSE to take offense to another person's choice that has nothing to do with them, and 2) Their decision to speak as if they are the authority and their personal beliefs and opinions as if they are fact and universal, objective truth. Did anyone read the article? The subtitle alone makes the majority of these opinions moot. If it's titled, "Black Men, Love & Relationships", then how can anyone state that Reggie Bush's choice of who he loves and dates should not be included? he is Black isn't he? Makes sense when you consider that we live in a multi-cultural, multi-racial country. Who a person chooses to date is their choice, regardless of the rationale. It is their right and it's really nobody's business but theirs. Those who have reacted strongly and have stooped to dehumanizing and disparaging Black men because of their choice have really played their hand. I apologize for the experiences you went through, but it doesn't meant that Reggie Bush is a 'white supremacist' nor does it mean that Tiger Woods has a disease. Sorry to burst your bubble, but your opinion is NOT their reality. Not to mention, if Black men choose White women, so what? I still have to get up every day and either go to work or look for it, I still have to pay my bills and eat.... In other words, I have a life and I choose to just focus on my and my choices because in the end, it's the only thing I can control anyway.

    Comment by Mr Laurelton Queens on 28 January 2010: Let me address the Jay “Shawn” coward V1ktor. Go sing down, down, down, the sky is falling down. How are you racist if you choose to stay within your race? Your momma stayed in her race and your daddy. Are they racist? I don’t see you heading to the projects to date “Shameka and her fatherless 2 or 3 kids. Oh, but they will argue you down on a damn public board. But none of these people are nowhere near the black community where “the majority of black women” reside. Your lucky Bill Gates ain’t invent computer screen where you can go upside somebody head. I am tired of black women getting used by these cowards." You hit the nail on the head man. White men are never seen going to the ghetto or black neighborhoods to seriously date black women but they are online looking for action. White men will go the largest ghetto in the world (Russia) and they will marry any white woman they can find there! But they claim they don't want black women because black women are "too ghetto." LOL White men don't go near real black women living in the ghetto and trying hard to survive and raise their children alone! White men are phony! They only really want rich or famous black women only so they can use them!

    I don't believe that we belong to anyone but ourselves and God. My point being is I don't see white men go out in public and diss their women like I see a lot of brothas do. If you keep on meeting these certain type of women you describe then maybe it's you. I've always been into white men since I was a kid so no you didn't drive me towards white men, but a lot of black women are being driven that way because they are sick of the attitudes of some black men. I think the problem with both men and women is they don't find a partner that is evenly yoked for them no matter what race they are. And why should black women continue to hold themselves from dating men outside of race because some people don't approve. A good man period is hard to find and if you find someone who suits you, race shouldn't matter.

    "These sellout black women are really sad and pathetic. Don’t get mad because white women are getting booty and breasts now."... "Change your damn attitude. Stop overeating and calling yourself “thick”. Leave black men out of your mouth".... ..."You nappy headed black women should be ashamed of yourself. Go smoke some more “Reggie Bush”... Laurelton these are your hurtful words. Youre angry for some reason and its people like you who need to disappear. this venom that youre posting is the same poison that will eat you alive.I love and prefer white men because im ATTRACTED to them this has nothing to do with a low self esteem or self loathing. i love my beautiful chocolate skin, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, my breasts. There is No self hating here. You are dead wrong for what youve said, people are here to make connections and find love.....why are you here?

    Mr.Queens lol, i saw your comment about Kim K being a black woman because of her body. How shallow!! really, her booty is fake. two big breast dont have anything to do with it. Any body can have them, if you didnt know you can also get surgery for them. Kim is curvy but it doesnt make her black. see a picture of her a couple of years back and she is just as flat as any other white girl. No one grows a booty in a year or two, trust me Kimmy had some surgery done! lol, you should ask her if she sees herself as black and she will tell you hell no. black men are pathetic, they try to write any girl off as black to justify liking/dating her. Skinny black girl with no breast or butt? oh your a white girl! white girl with breast and butt? oh your a black girl!!

    Dear Bama You are a lovely young lady. My ex girlfriend looked like you. I never said all black women have attitudes and are overweight. However, for some black women to have an attitude and to 'demand" certain men to conform to their standards of "dating" is hypocritical. You have a list on what you want in a man. But you don't live up to those same standards. That goes for white men too. I have certainly heard black women say they would never date a broke white boy. Perhaps a white man that works in the blue collar field. If I am wrong, please show me! Because I haven't seen it! Nobody says educated black women should lower their standards. However, a degree ALONE will not get you Brad Pitt nor Denzel Washington. A degree ALONE will not get you a ring. I told people from before I wasn't going to hold back in 2010. I never get the credit I deserve. I will tell you why that happens. If it wasn't for black men like me, more white men would be TAKING advantage of you. We just basically "weed" out the white men that would be with you regardless of the tough scrutiny. Things get hard, white men run off. Sellout black women have said this. I do my homework on black women. Black women can follow their hearts concerning interracial dating. But if they are going to bash black men. I got a serious problem with that. I am different than other men. I am student of the 48 Laws of Power. I just want to cripple the sellout black girl movement, primarily their leaders. If I let them breathe , they will get up and want to fight black men again. Black women belong with black men. You think a white man JUMPS FOR JOY seeing his white sister with a black men! If he says " I am okay with it". He is a damn liar. I ain't saying he is racist but he sure is not happy with it. But when I feel the same way. It's oh "put the guns away please". I am just expressing my opinion about it like anybody else. But please don't say black men stop you from dating a white man. If white man are not interested. Get a backbone and confront them. You have a nice day.

    Oh really??? “Armenia’s strategic location between two continents has subjected it to invasions by many peoples, including the Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Mongols, Persians, Ottoman Turks and Russians.” Arabs and Mongols fall under "white". You explain it to me since you make black men "look good". What exactly falls "under white"? It can be a "broad definition". How about Caucasian. Definition a. Anthropology Of or being a human racial classification distinguished especially by very light to brown skin pigmentation and straight to wavy or curly hair, and including peoples indigenous to Europe, northern Africa, western Asia, and India. See Usage Note at race1. b. Of or relating to a racial group having white skin, especially one of European origin; white. 2. Of or relating to the Caucasus region or its peoples, languages, or cultures. 3. Of or relating to a group of three language families spoken in the region of the Caucasus mountains, including Chechen, Abkhaz, and the Kartvelian languages. What derogatory comments about black women? There are some black women with kids by different fathers. Is it a big secret? I normally don't do this. But I invite you to my blog. Right now, you are lashing out for some reason. You can review my latest " commentary" on my New Blog Album "THANK ME LATER". http://www.mrlaureltonqueens.blogspot.com/
