Before his big break, this black male celebrity contemplated on being a male escort or a male stripper to supplement his income, he settled for escort and serviced some of wealthiest women on the East Coast.
He updated his gigolo attire with the extra money. In the evenings, he was often draped in custom made Italian suits and expensive silk shirts and shoes.
One of the women he serviced was affiliated with the entertainment industry, she put him on!
He was able to quit his day job and his escort gig.
A lot of rich women were sad he removed himself from their elite circuit. They still speak of him fondly and reminisce on how he treated them special and made them feel young by showering them with attention. His lovemaking skills also received high marks.
He's had his share of women and he's broken a lot of hearts along the way. One ex-girlfriend swears he has a non-fatal sexual disease but she may be disgruntled because he dumped her and we've never heard this rumor from anyone else.
He's always on the make and a good looking woman doesn't stand a chance around him.
It's been reported, when he first got into the entertainment industry, he came with a "conquest" list and he has checked off every woman on that list.
Women continue to swoon over him and he's made good investments over the years.
Not only is he sexy but he's also rich. Reply to this

OJ's problem is that he is just too damn cocky and so he made it easy for them... This case was justice for Nicole and Ron and had nothing to do with what actually happened in Vegas... the other thing that blows my mind is the sentencing range.. 5 years to life ??? that's crazy.... I mean I have heard of 10-15... 25-life..or just life but 5 to life??? and who are we kidding I think 5 years is a death sentence for him... and since he was taken into custody immediately after the trial I'm guessing the judge denied any motions for bail pending an appeal...which almost never happens in a celebrity case... let this be a lesson to Black men..

Hi Lit! I'm a big fan of your posts. I missed the discussion yesterday about OJ but they've been gunning for him since he beat that criminal trial.
Unfortunately, like many black athletes who attend 'SC (Univ of So Cal), OJ forgot his place. He thought making millions with his endorsements, hanging out with rich alumni and marrying Nicole made him 'honorary'. It did until OJ turned up dead.
He used to come to campus and wouldn't so much as even look in a black woman's direction. He had Nicole on his arm. He would ignore the black students on campus unless they were athletes. Back then, Marcus Allen was his protege.
I can't say I feel sorry for him. He should have just gone somewhere and sat his stupid self down. This is only about retribution for Nicole and Ron Goldman, plain and simple. OJ was never too bright.
I hate to make it all about race but it is. Nothing changes the fact that OJ is a black man. We will never be accepted no matter how educated or talented and any of us who think that because of our wealth, status and other accoutrements of success that we will be "one of them", it just isn't going to happen.

O/T I went out with a group of people last night, in which none of us are American and we all went to a Mexican restaurant after a movie. There were two Egyptian guys in our group and they spent the whole time talking about how they couldn't stand Latinos. They complained about the music being played in the restaurant, their culture, everything. Mind you, based on physical appearance, they didn't look any different from Latinos themselves and my friend alerted them to that. The guys started ganging up on her, she argued back and eventually they apologized for ganging up on her and her people. Only problem with that was she's actually Persian, not Mexican. She's also been mistaken for Indian, Armenian, Brazilian, you name it. Either way, the Egyptians didn't hide their dislike for Latinos and other minorities.
Then, one of them moved on to talk about African Americans, and that was when I had to shut him down. I said that the things African Americans are going through now, is a result of centuries of racial prejudice and discrimination. This was in response to him, saying that African Americans are always complaining about being victims of slavery. I was not having it. Later, he said that he didn't have a problem with me, because I'm not African American. I'm thinking, either way, I'm still black, and he would have felt the same way towards me if I was some random black person, coming in contact with him on different terms.
It's amazing that people from other countries come to America, and look down on other minorities. Even now, I don't hang with really hang with other International students, because of some of the prejudices they have towards Africans and people of African descent. Reply to this

Hello Kay. Attitudes such as these all are the result of lack of knowledge and suppressed history. As I have said before, Black people are the originsl people of this planet, and ALL colored peoples, not limited to some whites have Black DNA, but because od centuries of brainwashing and suppressed knowledge by the Aryan peoples, these facts are not known. Funny how two Egyptians would complain about 'Latinos' since many Latinos are of Arab, African, and 'Amerindian' descent. Many of the Conquistadors were Arab Muslim converts to Christianity, and were mercenaries for the Catholic Church. And as we all know the original Egyptians were jet Ebony Black, and not Arab. And IMHO the terms African-American and Native American make no sense either because it is well known in the Anthropology Community that Blacks were here in the Americas(see Olmecs, Black Darienites, Black Californians, Washitaws, Naragansetts,etc.) before some Native Tribes were established as we know them today. Blacks had kingdoms in what are now modern Asia, the Middle East, Europe, India, The Americas, The Pacific. So yes ALL colored peoples have our blood but are in denial due to their Blancophiliac/Negrophobic tendencies.
The world has a Love/Hate relationship with African/Black people. The Love comes is for our, intelligence, survival, ageless beauty, and resilience. The hate is fear, jealousy, and on behalf of other colord peoples; the knowledge that they would not exist if it weren't for us.
Everyone can hate on Black women, but yet it is every man of another ethnicities' fantasy to sleep with a black woman. Why do women of other ethnicities(particularly White women), throw themselves at Black men, if they are such louts? Why do women of other ethnicities go out of their way to have the body parts and features that Black women have naturally,if we are so unattractive. And why do we always get that jealous envied stare from women of other ethnicities(especially white women)?? If we are so uneducated and unintelligent, why suppress our knowledge, and call us 'racist' if we pull away from the accepted and try to get it back????
I see and experience attitudes like this all the time here in Philly, and I pay it no mind, because I know what the deal really is. I laugh and keep right on moving. Reply to this

I have a different view of all that. There are many people of African/Ethiopian heritage in my immediate area, and most don't care too much for American born blacks. From my conversations with a few, they see american born blacks as lazy, forever playing the victim card, unmotivated, promiscuous, violent and enabling of each others shortcomigs. It's not that they think they are "white" or want to be white. They just don't want to be lumped in the same group with the American black, as they see themselves and their communities as a complete polar opposite of the American black. I think instead of letting ourselves be defensive and writing them off as "people who just don't understand the Black American experience", we should take the time to really have a discussion and see why they feel that way. You might be surprised by what you hear. I think it's because they are mostly exposed to negative images and stereotypes of the American Black that are assumed as fact all over the world.

That's true Fashionista. I have heard of many Blacks born in Africa and the Caribbean that do not like American Blacs for that same reason. They see them as being too American or White.
However, these are the types of attitudes that keep us divided as a people. IMO, there are negative stereotypes about us as people that all ethnicities of non-black people have due to Aryan-supremacy. To further discriminate and be stereotypical against each other speaks volumes, and it is not going to help us any further. To me a Black person from Africa or the Caribbean stereotyping Blacks from America is just like Black American Men stereotyping Black American Women.
When it comes to Black Americans the world sees us as voilent, arrogant, boastful, promiscuous, lazy, dumb, etc. when in truth that is in ALL ethicities that have been Americanized. When it comes to Black Africans they are seen as warlike, heathenish, godless, voilent, malnutritioned, and diseased, even though it is Europeans, Aryan Arabs, Ashkenazi Jews, etc. are completely responsible for what has gone on and is still going on in Africa. And on top of all that those are NOT the only images that can be shown of Africa.
I actually have had people of all ethnicities ask me if I was from another country, because to them I seem 'different' from most American Blacks. Then I tell them, you have not met or conversated with ALL American Blacks so do not generalize all as being the same. Reply to this

Fashionista and Philly Poet I agree with your comments.
Sometimes I think some minorities really think they are better than other people. Philly just I like you I keep it moving they are not worth it.
As for being Americanized I would like to comment on that.
Over the years my island has become very Americanized. It has had a real negative on the country especially the younger generation. In addition to the fact that white people see us as a serious threat, but some of our people do not realize their full potential and fall right into their trap. Well some may beg to differ, but this is my opinion.
Ask anyone about Bermuda in the last say 20 years the island has totally changed. Before the island was safe you could get a ride with anyone from east to west with anyone because everyone was cool it was like a real community vibe. Not anymore would not even consider it.
They had a tech school that trained many of our trademen we had many successful carpenters, masons, painters.
Now this is what they did.
So they saw the black men excelling they all had their own businesses, built their own home, had a boat, car, etc. I’m convinced this is what they did, they stopped the ganja from coming to the island and flooded it with cocaine and heroin. So you know the rest right?.. Not all, but most of the successful trademen got caught up. It’s so sad. To this day it is so hard to find a local trademen from that era on island that does not get high.
They shut down the tech school, so the island was no longer training new trademen because we all know not everyone is academic.
They changed our education system from British to the US system.
BET is probably one of the major culprits in exposing negative images and stereotypes of the American black in my opinion because so many of the young people on the island are influenced by these music videos and the American lifestyle.
Tourism numbers are continuing to drop. This lady I know she stopped coming here because it was becoming too Americanized and she was coming here for over 30 yrs.
We are so lost culturally.
At present, we have 16 yr olds committing murders, a young man got murdered for his chain the thing is it had a jesus/cross pendant the boy was a good youth and his parents were due to take him away to start university in the US the next day.
The graduation rates are at the lowest rates ever.
I just thought I would share as I have seen the effects of Americanization first hand. It is by far not the only reason for the problems, but it has had an effect for sure.

But she also used to say that the bottom rail would come to the top. And I belive that we are seeing that now.
My friend from Jamaica was telling me how organic and fresh everything(fruit, vegetables, fish) in the country is so fresh, yet many of the young people want to consume American products, and we all know how many hormones, addictives, MSG, Aspartame, PCB, is in aot of this crap here. I do not believe that alot od 'organic' products here in the US are really organic.
Yes we are culturally out of touch, more that any other culture 'ethnicity' on Earth. We really need to get back to our own and stop adopting the cultures of people who look down on us and do not really care about us. It is fine to admire and respect ALL cultures of course, but YOUR culture is what gives you and identity and partly guarantess YOUR survival as a people. There is an old Nubian/Kushite saying that goes: "IT IS DISHONORABLE TO BECOME EXTINCT". We need to have our own and not include anyone else, that is how alot of our movements get screwed up: Look what happened to the NAACP and eventually the Civil Rights Movement. They all started out and beneficial to us, then they just began to not benefit us at all in many ways.
Black people are the most feared people on this planet for a reason, and that is why most do not want us to reconnect with our culture, because they know how powerful we would be if we had it again. Why are we the only people that are labeled 'racist' by Whites when we pull away from the accepted and reconnect with our own culture?? Why did slavemasters make it a point to convert ALL Africans into Christianity and make it a mandatory law that Africans not be allowed to participate and hold their own religious ceremonies, then brainwash later generations against it???

Why do you think that the children in the 3rd grade called ItIsWhatItIs an "African booty scratcher"?

It is called running away from yourself ... where ever you go, there you are. There is more than enough adopting of the same attitudes of the dominant culture for all people of color world wide.
Second, I don't know if you have ever heard news on America broadcast outside of American, but when I did here these broadcasts they were very different than how it is broadcast in America and if it is propaganda, the broadcasts I heard were not particularly flattering to America, so to say that foreigners coming to America have rose colored glasses on when it comes to this "democracy" may not speak to the broad range of those than come to America.

My post was referring to the opposite dynamic of some "Africans,Caribbeans,Koreans,etc" perceptions of Amer. blacks.
What you just described is the "American Blacks" negative view on Africa.Our ancestors were force fed negative propaganda through jewish hollywood,racist christianity and history books.Malcolm X talked about this back in 1964,when he went to Africa.Maybe you misunderstood the intent of my post,i'm well aware of the brainwashing & demonizationdone to our ancestors here in regards to Africa.
-Broadcasts I'm curious where did these broadcasts take place?Were they in a pro-muslim anti zionist part of the country.There is no question in these parts they hate America. Reply to this

Okay, thanks for the clarification. Your post made it seems that the draw toward the dominant culture was one way.
No, it was not a pro-Muslim anti Zionist part of the country. It was in a place that by most American's standards would be see as benign. The point that I want to make is this, as a child I was taught that every other nation delivers propaganda to its citizens, particularly when dealing with the US and I believed it. When I was older and able to make decisions for myself I took a look at the way the US is viewed outside of the US and decided that there is more than enough propaganda to go around to ALL nations. When I actually listened to the news and saw the perspective that was taken from an outside nation about events within the US is was eye opening. I would recommend that everyone who gets a chance to view the news internationally do so. So no, I don't believe that a great number of educated individuals coming to the US expecting all things rosy in the US.
One final note, in your previous post you stated that most people coming to the US are coming from the bottom rung of the social/economic points of their home countries. This may be true, but that does not mean that these people come to the US unintelligent because one of the ways that the US has flourished as it has so far is it has acted as the most prestigious universities do and skim the cream off of the top of other nations, especially nonwhite people. One good example of this would be Barack Obama's father, whose father was a domestic servant to the British. Obama's father won a scholarship to the University of Hawaii and eventually went on to Harvard. Reply to this

See, that's the F'ed up part. The older cats, the ones that are supposed to be mentors etc, are actually telling the younger ones don't date or marry a black woman. How the hell can you justify passing your ignorance and shortcomings as a man down along the line? I'm telling you... a real tide is going to come where more and more blackwomen are going to start looking for Mr. Right elsewhere and drop the notion of holding out for that one black man. And when that happens, everyone be prepared to hear the "why are our sisters betraying us, come back my black queen and leave that white devil alone rhetoric in full force.

I think that tide you spoke of is already happening. I know more than a few black women who date black and outside their race. And when I am available, I keep my options open. "Equal Opportunity Dating" is what I call it jokingly, but the reason why as far as the women I know is because either the black men aren't interested in them, have something wrong with them, or are too wrapped up in the Hip Hop and/or Thug mentality. So why limit yourself to one pool of men when there could be something more in another race? Reply to this

Thanks to Nique for the tip about the issue I had with my person email, it worked. What's up PJSMOMMY, I am fine now and how are you?
I got to add that most of our Black men are successful because of their BLACK MOTHER/SISTER. I use to help my brothers with their homework, even in college. Look at the entertainment world alone, most of the black men in sports/movies/music,etc are there due to their black mothers. Yes the black mother that held down a job or two to provide for you and your siblings. The same one who came home to cook a meal/or two so you are fed. The same one who get worried sick when you not feeling well. And the same black mother who sacrifice her own health for the sake of taking care of family and home. Most black women don't have the options white women have. If you take a wealthy person out of their enviorment and put them in rural area and asked them to survive, can they? My point is, God designed us specificly to possess certain qualities. Most black women are homemakers/providers, and its not by choice. So by nature, we are out of our element. Yes we maintain and are successful but its still not a part of GOD's given natural make-up. If I was born in the Major race, I wouldn't have an attitude? at times either. I would always have a smile planted on my face, but unfortunately at times as a minority woman I don't. And its have absolutely nothing to do with having an attitude, but due to stressfuel issues. There are quite a few BLACK Women I know personally that are going to school(full-time), working full-time job and raising children. I am one of them. So if my attitude is not pleasant ALL of the time it has absolutely nothing to do with me being a black woman.
Take a moment and walk in OUR SHOES. Most people will view us quite differently if so.
Imperfect man have no clue on what TRUE BEAUTY IS. Most of these people are followers. They don't want to think for themselves. There use to be a time where having big lips and butt was not the IN thing. Now look at this society. How does it make sense to put what another race NATURALLY have on someone who dont' naturally have it, and title it as being a PERFECT example of BEAUTY. LOL!!! LOL! Yes confused,imperfect humans. SMDH! LOL! STFU! Due to pride/ego most of these BLACk men that date YT women are not going to express the issues they are having with them. And they do have issues cause they are not PERFECT. So they are going to save face. They think we're are going to say, you ask for it. Now look, the grass was so green on the other side. LOL! So stop thinking that we don't know.
My comments are for the ones who fit the profile. I wouldn't dare put all black men in this scenario. I have a black father was/is a very good father/provider as well as 2 brother whom are as well. But I have an uncle who told me and my sister to not marry a black man. I get into that story later. Reply to this

I also think black is beautiful, but saying it and feeling it is two different things. I feel like being black sometimes is a curse. I mean look at how our men disrespect us by hooking up with white women and constantly preaching how unattractive and undesirable we are. I was at a fast food establishment and happen to be eating lunch and saw three professional looking black men with white women on their arms. I tried my best to ignore them, but deep down this hurts my soul. Because it is one less available man that another sister could of had. There is already a shortage to began with.
BTW, I am married to a very nice man, but has some serious credit issues. Go figure, I guess we have to compromise somewhere. Reply to this

My friend Neiman was after big money all night, they even went into a room together, came out minutes later, can we say rejection. So many beautiful girls in L.A., even gorgeous ones get rejected, being faithful is rare, but that was the reason for this rejection I hear. Reply to this

I doubt it is Boris. Maybe Genuine, but i just don't think so. His wife is saved and i dont think she would tolerate her hubby escorting or skrippin'. And Boris' daughter is fighting an illness and him & his wife are busy doing fundraisers to aid in finding a cure. SO again, mu guess is Shemar with a close runner up to Ray J...cuz he's rich just being Brandy's brother and he is a male whore who has "conquered" many women like Whitney Houston to Kim Kardasian & Lil' Kim.

The only issues any black women on this board have w/interracial dating is when the people in the relationship fit these scenarios:
1. black man who dislikes black women and that is why he dates outside his race 2. non black woman who feels she is "above/better" than a black woman and that entitles her to steal black men. 3. non black women who feels any children she has with a black man will not be black. 4. non black women who date black men to use them as they are "easier tricks" than white men.

no dear women can be extremely insecure. do not trivialize and generalize black women. OKAY.
my oldest sister does not want to date men outside her ethnicity. however, she does not tell others what to do. if she did then that would be racist...

First of all honey, no one said anything about IR dating. The topic of this thread is about the stereotypes of African/Black people by other people of color. And if we want to make a big deal about anything it's our business. I'm not trying to start anything, but your comment is a little off.
First of all I personally have no problem with IR, I have been in them, what I have a problem with is the fact that many IR couples are not together for love, but for fantasy, and I have a problem that there are Black Men/Black Women who REFUSE to date and say that they hate the other when they have Black parents.
And I doubt that you get dirty looks from Black women, because most Black women in case you do know. Have some of the highest self-esteems on record and we are getting our educations, because there are more of us in college and with degrees than our Black Men unfortunately. If anything we get looks of envy or jealousy from women of other ethnicities(particularly White Women)because they envy OUR strength, confidence, resilience, courage, intelligence, and yes our beauty. And if we were so unattractive, why do women of other ethnicities go out of ther way to have body parts, and skin tones that we are naturally born with??? Why do so many men of other ethnicities have fantasies of being with a Black Woman. Why did I have several 'Latino Men' from various countries told me they loved my huge Afro when I had it and now they love my locs???
I myself consider 'Latinos' to be our bretheren, but so many have negative attituds towards Blacks. And it has been made clear by women on this board and through ones that I have known personally, that many 'Latino' women have just as much of a dislike towards Black Women as White Women do.
And for the recorn I do love myself and most of the women on here love them selves too, and do not need anyone to tell us to. We have our own monies, investments, businesses, degrees, law firms, etc. and have NOTHING to be jealous about. When truth comes down to it we can get anyone we want, and have the admiration, respect of many even if they do not admit to it... Reply to this

Hi Miseducated, I know that you probably didn't want to come off as judgmental or bashing Black women...but you did ? Even with the Peace & Blessings at the end it still came off as so.
1. Black women aren't at all considered the least attractive. Many who won't date them openly, lust after them, and WILL creep in the dark.
2. There are MANY Black women that have an education, and are getting one ? There are many right here on PR, myself included ?
3. Many of us ARE taking care of home and we LOVE ourselves as well as others. This isn't any disrespect to you at all. I just respectfully disagree with your analysis of us "ladies of color"... It's not fair OR correct to say that all Black women are thus and so ♣ Reply to this

SMH, I was talking about my experience and where I come from. If your life different more power to you. I am not saying all black women are this way what I am saying is from my experience/my point of view. If you took offense to my comment I apologize but these are my thoughts/experiences. I live in an urban area, work a white collar corporate job and do things for my community as a whole. My partner is a strong man (he is black) with morals and a wonderful upbringing (both parents black parents). My point is this love comes from within. I teach my daughter to have respect for herself, have respect for others no matter the race/color/religion. Racial mixing has nothing to do with preservation of culture. Preservation of culture is taught by parents that want to teach their children about the history of their ethnicity.
If you are from anywhere/ or your family originates from anywhere that was touched by colonialism then you yourself have a 70% chance of being a product of racial mixing. What’s the matter with your life if seeing people of two different races in love bother you?
(The quote about black women not wanting to date outside their race was from one of my many close girl friends) I/We teach my children about their ethnicities. We read, watch documentaries and learn together. My comment was sincere. I am just so tired of both blacks/whites making it a big deal. I love who I love, we don't judge anyone else, we pay our taxes, take care of our children, and are not on welfare (welfare consists of mostly whites). I am proud to be with a man that respects me, takes care of our children, and is a good person so what if he is black? Doesn't really matter much to me. Reply to this

So is this why B forgot the first few words to the second verse of Flaws and All in Bermuda? I guess when you have 70 songs rolling around in your head you could forget anything. Her background was quick on their feet. I sure would like to talk to her about her "ALL GIRL BAND".
Flames here, flames there, flames everywhere. It's a wonder the Island didn't catch on fire. From the Whispers to Keys in L sharp. Jesus have mercy on all of their souls. The dust in peoples eyes was soooo thick all the vacuums in house keeping were broke. No cut cards or anything. Just HOW YOOOU DOIN everywhere?!!!!
It was not as enjoyable as last year. A and B brought all of the youngins out. Even loud a$$ Vanessa Simmons. MY DAD doe,dope rae me, SHUTUUUUP doe,dope ra me. She's cute though. My neck still hurts from it all. I'll just say anytime female advances make Grandma go to her room and drink, then it's time to find another port and I don't mean Taylor. And why do Bi men think they can not be spotted? When the men weren't bitting they were trying to play the switch game. NOT!!!! All they need is 1 Grand Marnier. WHAT MAN DRINKS GM?

At the last minute I got a ticket to B..like 1hr and a half before the show.
I thought B's night was the most enjoyable I guess I had too much cocktails did not catch her missing the words to that song.
Her all female band was off the hook weren't they. They are definitely something to talk about.
Where the concert was u could sit outside and hear it loud and clear. That's what I did for Alicia's night. She was doing so much talking all I was thinking of was PR and the talk about Alicia being a pimp.

You are simply regurgitating the lies that have been taught to you.
These lies help you feel better about yourself when you know that at your core, deep in that quiet place in your mind where you think no one else can see--you truly admire and envy the beauty of black women.
Your men have also confused you because they taught you--and the women who bore you, that they didn't find the black woman attractive so that you wouldn't notice when they disappeared to go find their black female victims and mistresses. The loved the black woman so much that they spent much of the 1600's-1900's lightening up the race with their indiscretions.
So you--and women like you, desperately cling to what you know to be falsehood because it is truly, all that you have to keep you alive.
Know this...every OUNCE of beauty that you believe you have, every curve, every full lip, every full lock of hair, every single OUNCE of your so-called beauty was donated to you from an African female ancestor. These are not the rantings of an "uneducated" woman, this is knowledge that can be verified and documented. You owe your existence to us. You owe everything that you hold "feminine", "alluring" and "beautiful" to us. The DNA of a black woman who looks just like most of the women on this board courses through your veins and the veins of all of your cohorts.

You sound somewhat ignorant, and it's a pity. With statements like "...so what if he is black? Doesn't really matter much to me...", you show a surprising lack of respect for the very person you're with. If you're going to insist on being a bigot, you should at least have the integrity to admit that. Back-peddling makes you look even weaker.
If I were you, I'd look a little more beneath the surface, as you seem to have insecurities about black women (and possibly men), that even you are unaware of. I'm not black by the way, but I have real love for black men AND women. They have a soul and spirituality that I admire and can relate to.
It would serve you well to have more respect for yourself and others. See that you are raising a child who is of colour as well. She is blessed, don't let your ignorance get in the way of raising a beautiful young woman who does not see colour lines, as that's a very superficial, uninformed way to live.
By the way, although I'm not black, my skin is. And there's never been a day when I thought I was unattractive. God has blessed me too, sister. Love yourself, and everything else will follow.
And if you insist on holding to an over-simplified, negative outlook like this, that's certainly your prerogative. But be sure to keep that to yourself. Not everyone feels like they need to be of a lighter skin tone to have a sanctified experience on earth.

Very well put Lit, We as AA men know that beautiful and intelligent AA women are more desireable across the racial board (you included) and I think for a long time AA men were intimidated by that. I've heard so many excuses as to why we as men could not step up. Those excuses have run out and we now realize that we control our own destiny (up to a point). Love has no color yes I do agree to that, but like you said, it takes someone with a similiar background to able to understand the struggles of our culture. Latino's may be able to sympathize with our struggle, they will never be able to truly know what it is like to be oppressed. I mean they have their own country(s) that they can go back to at anytime.

Sweetheart, I am not making threats towards you...I don't even know you but, what I do know is this: As a black man, if I went to a mostly Caucasian website talking about how white women need to take care of their homes and love themselves b/c black men are taking them away from white men, I would be cursed out, called all types of names and probably banned from the site. All I'm saying is that you made some good points (not really) but you did not choose your words carefully.
There are many educated AA women in America and on this site. It is they who have held the brothas down over the years and now we are becoming more responsible and educated. Like I stated above, I just got back from Dallas, and I was so proud to see and meet so many educated brothas and sistas. And it is stereotypes like yours that keep the myths alive about us. I dare not speak on Latino culture b/c I am not an expert, nor do I have the genetic make up to do so.
So with all of that, you cannot throw stones and a glass house. Espescially if that house is protected by a group of strong individuals who can come together and educate those who are ignorant about the dealings with AA culture. So don't take this as a diss, just think of it as an educational experience. Thanks.... Reply to this

I think miseducatedchik is reflecting on a very common phrase that has echoed in our Black culture that “good Black men are hard to find” when she states: . .”There are still a lot of black women who think their only dating option is black men. Black women unfortunately are extremely insecure . . . So as black men branch out to other races many black women think their dating options are getting smaller.” [Being a Black man, I’ll admit this is even more a fact today than before especially among the younger generation with all the negative influences, vices, incarceration rates, and media propaganda and music influencing their behavior.]
If I’m write miseducatedchik was merely expressing the idea of all people seeing each other through God’s eyes and stepping over the barriers to love a mate of one’s choice – whether inter-racial or not. [Though, she may be stepping on eggshells in choosing her words.] Reply to this

I am going to post this to you again...because you need to read it. You are confused. You don't even realize that your initial post assumed that you were in a position to "educate" black women when, in reality, you are as much a victim of the "miseducation" as anyone. If you really care about your daughter...you'll read what I'm saying and ask yourself some questions. God knows the last thing we need is another confused, self-hating, woman of color in the world--and your daughter WILL BE a woman of color.
You are simply regurgitating the lies that have been taught to you.
These lies help you feel better about yourself when you know that at your core, deep in that quiet place in your mind where you think no one else can see--you truly admire and envy the beauty of black women.
Your men have also confused you because they taught you--and the women who bore you, that they didn't find the black woman attractive so that you wouldn't notice when they disappeared to go find their black female victims and mistresses. The loved the black woman so much that they spent much of the 1600's-1900's lightening up the race with their indiscretions.
So you--and women like you, desperately cling to what you know to be falsehood because it is truly, all that you have to keep you alive.
Know this...every OUNCE of beauty that you believe you have, every curve, every full lip, every full lock of hair, every single OUNCE of your so-called beauty was donated to you from an African female ancestor. These are not the rantings of an "uneducated" woman, this is knowledge that can be verified and documented. You owe your existence to us. You owe everything that you hold "feminine", "alluring" and "beautiful" to us. The DNA of a black woman who looks just like most of the women on this board courses through your veins and the veins of all of your cohorts.

Hello Fam! Hope everyone's weekend was abso-freakin-lutely fantabulous! I'm working from home today, so I had to sneak in and try to catch up on comments. My first guess reading the B.I. was Philip Michael Thomas. I remember reading about him and his sugar mamas...escorting can't be much different. My mother had the hugest crush on him back in the day. I spent 1/2 the day yesterday watching Miami Vice season 1 on Netflix. Neither he nor Don Johnson could act, but they were pretty, so that's all that matters! Anyone else notice how they used to gaze into each other's eyes? Hmmm...
Please Hammer don't hurt him! What the heck is going on with the trolls these days? At least they know how to name themselves to warn us of their buffoonery. SMH Mis-educated indeed! Can we get some trolls with more up to date colloquialisms (slang for you trolls)? Did she call us hommies? WTF are hommies? Anyway, I can't take those posts seriously because I don't argue with children or adults with child-like minds.
Happy Belated Birthday SheKnows and Queensallday! I was crazy busy this weekend, so I only had time to lurk. Hope you both had blessed days and got everything your hearts desire!

Your post was ethnocentric, arrogant, and, quite frankly, ignorant. It was ignorant because you didn't "educate" yourself about the possible reactions before posting it. You didn't KNOW.

I don't want to make a general statement, but the school's numbers prove it.. many have scores below normal (and below african american children). I attended a parent/teacher/volunteer "meet and greet" and out of the 40 students between the 2 classes in which I volunteer, about 20 are hispanic/latino and only 2 parents showed up..i repeat 2. For the rest of the students, ALL of their parents came. Also, my mother has been an educator for years in the public school system and there has been a recent increase in Latino/hispanic students...she's in administration now and she talks about how disheartening it is when they have to begin to LOOK and contact parents about latino/hispanic children who do not show up for school even after 2 weeks of school starting. yes that troll has it twisted...they have a LONG way to go.

I feel that the urban youth is not represented the rite way in all aspects of the urban culture. As you can see it says miseducated not uneducated, what we teach our children today about their ethnicity, life, culture and morals are lasting impression.

As for your original topic of interracial dating, I have no problem with two people being in love and committing to one another...that's beautiful. I have a distinct dislike for anyone who puts down members of their own race and pretends that women/men of another race are superior to their own. I have two biracial siblings as well as a number of biracial relatives, whom I love dearly. To say interracial dating should not occur would say that I regret my place in this world as well as those whom I love.
I hope for your childrens' sake you will broaden your horizons and learn more about people in general, and black people specifically so that they grow up to be better educated than you. Your limited knowledge speaks volumes and I would hope you would take the opportunity to correct that before you begin your thesis because it would suck if you were unable to complete your degree. Then you would be one more uneducated woman in your community. Reply to this

I agree the Troll O'Day has had enough attention. I wanted to bypass it, but she was working my last nerve.

It is a testament to black beauty, how women of nearly all other races want to change their appearance in some way to look like a black (while speaking negatively about black women.) If they are not risking skin cancer to tan as dark as possible, they want larger lips or bigger butts, they hate black women, but they want a black man, and all the while they think we are too stupid to see what they are doing. Since when does anyone want to look like what they say they hate? We as a race of people have hatred and injustice heaped on us daily, by people who turn around and steal everything they can from us and our culture and then try to say they invented it. I've noticed since I have been on this board someone is always coming on here using race to bait people, and it is sad, if you don't like this board don't come on here.

Hi All, I think Shemar Moore is the high priced STD. Evidence: He did hit Hwood with a bang. Women of all ages and all races found/find him attractive, even when his teeth were less than perfect. That flaw never kept him off the lists of Hwood Hunks. He has an all around nice guy persona which definitely puts women at ease and allows him to put his Stud Skills to the test. Although the photo showed him as less than packing, being a grower is a probable option. I know for a fact that being well endowed does not equal being a good lover. Even if Shemar is average size, it is how he uses it that can dictate the pleasure factor.He definitely dresses much better than he used to and I do recall some discussion about him possibly having the disease that causes the blisters, Ouch!

Just because you nonblack women have a master in hoeology and a PhD sucking dick know this the black men you love are the ones real black women don't want. You see we want men, not boys, we don't have time for insecurity and any man that puts black women down is doing so because he can't handle or relate to one. The black men who are checking for you are the men who don’t want a strong women. They want a door mat and you fit the bill.

I see we have someone who is on some bullsh*t with us again. I hope everyone has a safe weekend.
O/T I am considering taking my son out of school because of a situation that has occured they want to suspend my son for a total of 10 days. That is 10 days where he is not in school just at home like a bump on a log. he was suspended for a pushing incident with another student no blows were thrown and when the teacher asked them to stop they did. I know I would have to pick up a n djob to pay for private school, the cheapest one I have seen is aroudn $400/month but I am contemplating waiting until the end of the quarter to do so. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Reply to this

10 days is ridiculous for pushing, and you said that they stopped when he teacher told them to. What did they do to the other child? Have you thought about homeschooling? I'm sorry you and your son were put through this. I would definately complain to the school administration. You could take him out now while it is still fairly early and put him in another school until the end of the year, then possibly consider homeschooling or a Montessori School, if there are any still in existence.

Is there more to the incident that would warrant a 10 day suspension? Prior to removing your son from the school, please take full control of the situation by demanding a full account with the Principal, Teacher and Guidance Counselor. Ask for the School Guidelines for Suspension policies and ask that a review be conducted with the School board to determine the legitimacy of a 10 day suspension for a non violent offense. Be prepared to defend your stance with facts, noting your sons accomplishments and reasons a 10 day out of school suspension would be Extremenly detrimental to his education. Question your son thoroughly and honestly about what may have generated the behavior. Be prepared to learn maybe some not so pleasant facts, just in case. Bottom line whether your son goes to a public or private institution there will be incidents that require discipline and making the most of your sons educational process. Unfortunat4ly if your son is a black male he has to learn that his mistakes will almost always be judged more harshly in either situation. Good Luck Reply to this

Before his big break, this black male celebrity contemplated on being a male escort or a male stripper to supplement his income, he settled for escort and serviced some of wealthiest women on the East Coast.
He updated his gigolo attire with the extra money. In the evenings, he was often draped in custom made Italian suits and expensive silk shirts and shoes.
One of the women he serviced was affiliated with the entertainment industry, she put him on!
He was able to quit his day job and his escort gig.
A lot of rich women were sad he removed himself from their elite circuit. They still speak of him fondly and reminisce on how he treated them special and made them feel young by showering them with attention. His lovemaking skills also received high marks.
He's had his share of women and he's broken a lot of hearts along the way. One ex-girlfriend swears he has a non-fatal sexual disease but she may be disgruntled because he dumped her and we've never heard this rumor from anyone else.
He's always on the make and a good looking woman doesn't stand a chance around him.
It's been reported, when he first got into the entertainment industry, he came with a "conquest" list and he has checked off every woman on that list.
Women continue to swoon over him and he's made good investments over the years.
Not only is he sexy but he's also rich.

What about the gorgeous Blair Underwood? I only guess him because if I were going to hire a gigolo, it would be Blair. Mmmmmmmmmmm. I swear if anybody tells me that man is gay...

I wouldnt say Ginuwine because the BI said he tried to decide if he wanted to be a dancer OR escort ....he choose escort. As far as I know Ginuwine was a male dancer (still does parties last I heard) so I think that X's him out. Not to mention the fact that it says this person is rich.

Ginuwine got a bad record contract deal and can barely float. Plus, he was dealing with a lot of babymama drama. Not to mention that Timberland moved on to producing hits for white artists like Justin T, Nelly Furtado and Pussycatdolls.
Reply to this
From my understanding of things Ginuwine has 6 kids so Im sure he does have some baby momma drama going on. As far as his label goes. He did get a not so great contract but I know last year he sued a company for a fake contract. He signed then found out the company didnt exist.(2 million was what he sued for I think) Before that I think alot of his issue was he wanted to charge WAY TO MUCH for shows. Last time I checked thats really where artists see there $$ is by doing shows.
Reply to this
wow...6 kids. and yes I did hear about that bad contract. Too bad these artist aren't wise enough to recognize a "stinky" deal.

The plays are not really advertised, but more so word of mouth if you are into the church.
The plays are aimed more to teens. The play that I went to was about abortion ( I cried). There are held at high schools. The play that I went to was held at Central High School.

Well, I give them props. At least they ain't to Hollywood to stay on their hustle and find projects to keep them busy. It could be worse.

Lit, welcome back and ignore the trouble-makers, we wanted your insight on the OJ case.
Reply to this
I think OJ was clearly set up....entrapment at its finest...first of all how many people do you know that just ride around with tape recorders on them ??? I mean unless you're a snitch chances are you do not keep a tape recorder in your back pocket... Then it was just all too much of a conincidence for me... he happened to be in Vegas for a wedding... the collectors that had stolen from him happen to be there too...and then the guy who knows all happens to be there in the mix... OJ's problem is that he is just too damn cocky and so he made it easy for them... This case was justice for Nicole and Ron and had nothing to do with what actually happened in Vegas... the other thing that blows my mind is the sentencing range.. 5 years to life ??? that's crazy.... I mean I have heard of 10-15... 25-life..or just life but 5 to life??? and who are we kidding I think 5 years is a death sentence for him... and since he was taken into custody immediately after the trial I'm guessing the judge denied any motions for bail pending an appeal...which almost never happens in a celebrity case... let this be a lesson to Black men.. You can marry white women... you can hang at the Country Club and they may even invite you over for dinner...but in the back of their mind you're still a n****... OJ apparently forgot the rules of the game... Wesley too

BMF is still operating in Los Angeles, underground, the ones who didn't get indicted. They are still moving major weight. Meech and his brother will be almost 70 when they get out, they are under Fed law, straight time.

That is a big misconception which is promulgated by the FEDS..it's straight time because they don't parole..instead you do 1 for 2...every day in the pen counts as 2 days on your sentence... I'd bet money that in 10 to 15 years Meech will be at a Federal Halfway House

Reply to this
Hi Lit! I'm a big fan of your posts. I missed the discussion yesterday about OJ but they've been gunning for him since he beat that criminal trial.
Unfortunately, like many black athletes who attend 'SC (Univ of So Cal), OJ forgot his place. He thought making millions with his endorsements, hanging out with rich alumni and marrying Nicole made him 'honorary'. It did until OJ turned up dead.
He used to come to campus and wouldn't so much as even look in a black woman's direction. He had Nicole on his arm. He would ignore the black students on campus unless they were athletes. Back then, Marcus Allen was his protege.
I can't say I feel sorry for him. He should have just gone somewhere and sat his stupid self down. This is only about retribution for Nicole and Ron Goldman, plain and simple. OJ was never too bright.
I hate to make it all about race but it is. Nothing changes the fact that OJ is a black man. We will never be accepted no matter how educated or talented and any of us who think that because of our wealth, status and other accoutrements of success that we will be "one of them", it just isn't going to happen.
Reply to this
The only think black about OJ is his skin color. He's been smelling himself since he graduated high school. That fool used the black community when he was on the verge of going to jail for murdering his white woman and her beau (with Kato, I don't care what nobody says but Kato is full of it, he was slashing and grabbing right along with da Juice), showing up in south central with a dashiki on, but as soon as he was cleared he went right back to his "if its white then it's all right" lifestyle, while druggin and clubbing it up with his white women when he wasn't going upside their heads. Yeah, he was set up... so what. Honestly i'm surprised it took 13 years to tag him.

I just don't see Shemar for this. I think the money woman affiliated with entertainment was Denise Rich. AS for the man of the night, still running a couple of options. Maybe it's just me, but I sure as hell don't see him as someone sexy enough to sell it like that... to women. And the person in the BI is rich.

My guess is Blair Underwood. I mean look at him. He's handsome, women swoon over him, he dresses well. He's well endowed looking, he's an actor, director, and producer and thusly, rich and have been known to travel throughout the globe (now with his family sometime in tow). In addition, alot of shows that he has been on, New Adventures of Old Christine and Dirty Sexy Money for examples, has him linked to white women. So, Blair Underwood is my guess although the others are good guesses but I don't think that they are necessarily RICH.

He was my first thought, too. I know I've heard male persuasion escort rumors about him before. I'm not sure if this is Blair, though, because the BI makes me think (and I could be wrong and probably am

yeah,it took me a moment to get into Blair as well (but it just fell into place thinking about some of things stated in the Blind Item). I think that I was stuck on that pompador hair style he had during his L.A Law days...let alone his gaunt appearance in Crush Groove opposite of Sheila E..but hey,Set It Off changed that.

Speaking of goodlooking brothers I know that I have already commented on the Phillips case in which I pondered as to why the fine ones always seem to have bouts with mental issues;however in relevance to Shemar Moore, why is it that he is always attracted to seemingly unattractive women (aside from Halle Berry and Nia Long of course)? Is that a trend? because I have noticed that in a lot of fairly attractive men who aside from the ones with mental health issues have a tendeny of doing.

Boy this was up early!
-Shemar Moore was my first thought only because he was on the front page but like SG77 said, his grill is jacked up and yes Lit I heard he was part of the "committee." The person is this BI sounds like someone who is physically attractive and stands out among others.
-And I guess my Wayne Williams theroy was crushed...lol. Since I've lived here I've never really taken the time to sit and read about it--mainly because I know that I would be obsessed with it..haha (just my nature).I have so many links to still read and 2 books so my opinion may change.

I say na to the Rock. The BI stated :
Before his big break, this black male celebrity contemplated on being a male escort or a male stripper to supplement his income, he settled for escort and serviced some of wealthiest women on the East Coast.
AND ALSO THAT-
He was able to quit his day job and his escort gig.
If The Rock was homeless Im doubting he had said day job!!
Reply to this
It's possible to have a job and still be homeless. Trust me, I know. Btw, The Rock was a former football player before wrestling.

I apologize your absolutely right it is possible to be homeless and have a job. However I doubt this is the case here as I just dont see a homeless person buying italian suits and keeping them in pristine condition for all these "dates". I could be wrong though*wonders*

I hope it's okay I post from my mom's house. Anywho Pres, I'm keeping my mouth shut. Mum's the word on Tyler's guest list. Have you heard that supposedly he's engaged to Taraji P. Henson? I wonder who wears the lace thong in that relationship?
Reply to this
Tyker couldn't find a better beard that her? I always found it intersting the that Taraji's character role are always loud mouthed, ghetto black women. Is she really like that in real life? or are these just the roles offered to her and she just acts the part.
Reply to this
ive read that too. I find it hard to believe they ever dated. But do you think she was the "psycho" ex he's always talking about? Let's not be too hard on Taraji because her or her stan always seem to come here in her defense..lol..yea yea, we know Ms. Hensen is a Howard alum..yadda yadda yadda but she has some serious ghetto tendencies. Good actress though

Taraji is nice, funny and ghetto as hell! She is a REALLY talented actress, when people see what she does in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" with Brad Pitt that comes out in Dec. she'll start to get her due.
Reply to this
I/m sure I am going to be accused of hating later for saying this but I am who I am and I say what I think... I hope that she can show some depth in this new movie...my problem with her is that she always plays the same kind of character...She doesn't even changer her voice... It's like she's playing herself...but that's just my opinion
Reply to this
I agree. "Talk to me", "Hustle and Flow", "Smoking Aces", etc..different movie, same character.

Hustle and Flow... god how I hated that movie. I don't give a damn how many accolades or awards the film won, it was still a glorified sraight to DVD film that got lucky and had a damn good PR team.
Reply to this
Yeah, I watched half of Hustle & Flow and couldn't see what they hype was all about. I really didn't get it.
Plus I had just read all the Insiders saying Mr. Howard was a card-carrying member of the tiny-pee-pee crew and had a bad attitude on top of that, so maybe that was why I couldn't get into it.

I have to agree. That's what Nia Long and Gabrielle Union do, too.

I am a little biased towards Taraji! I really like her as a person, she is really cool and perfessional. I think this movie might change our mind about her Lit!
Gabrielle screws for roles and can't act.
Reply to this
Alright, I'll lay off her until I see the new movie you mentioned.
However, I still say that Nia Long and Gabrielle "F**k for Free" Union play the same character, no matter what the script says.
Gabrielle's most convincing role was in Two Can Play That Game, but judging from what was said here, she was just playing herself.

Hello All,
Must comment on Gabrielle Union because I don't want to start the hate but when it's there...
I think she looks like a chipmunk. I don't think she is that great of an actress and she made me sick in Daddy's Little Girls, I only watched it for Idris.

Correct, work. I hear Taraji is very sweet and she's drumming up Oscar talk along with another talented sista, Viola Davis, for the upcoming Doubt.
Reply to this
You're right Viola DAvis is really a GOOD actress. Few people remember that she is a Tony Award winning actress! Can't remmeber the name of the Broadway play, but she won a Tony for her role. If you look closely, you'll notice that she appears in a lot of televison dramas as a Guest Star.

Taraji sounds like the subject of an old BI about an actress "well known in the black community" that always gets the "same, typical roles". Does anyone remember this BI, I think at the time, I guessed Vivica.
Reply to this
I believe that relationship, like many others in hollywood, is a farce.
Maybe its more so business. As long as she goes along with the game, she gets roles. So when "Madea goes to Africa" comes out, best believe she will get a nice role.

No idea. I put him in the don't ask, don't tell category. Any man being intimate with another man is suspect to me, acting or not. It was too real to me, but he seemed real with women too. He's probably bisexual, unless someone has info on his preference that we don't know about.
Reply to this
Jensen....
Nice guy & awesome lover but has personal race issues, does not consider himself black. Feels like he has an equal amount of everything in him so he shouldn't have to label himself. last I knew he a white girlfriend that he's had off and on for years and they have a young child. Alot of the men & women in front and behind the scenes had crushes on him, he's very nice and respectful. 2nd season, I was told that he was tricked by a post op at a party while he was pissy drunk. The F'd up part of this is cast & crew members were at the party as well and knew that the girl was post op, but let him go with he/she anyway because they thought this was funny...since they couldn't have him. Needless to say he was notified later & supposedly was mortified......this was a little while ago, who knows now....My take on him at this point is this I think that he may be like blair, he might flirt & who knows ?possibly sleep with a man for career advancement, but I feel he prefers women.

Hello Kay,

I went out with a group of people last night, in which none of us are American and we all went to a Mexican restaurant after a movie. There were two Egyptian guys in our group and they spent the whole time talking about how they couldn't stand Latinos. They complained about the music being played in the restaurant, their culture, everything. Mind you, based on physical appearance, they didn't look any different from Latinos themselves and my friend alerted them to that. The guys started ganging up on her, she argued back and eventually they apologized for ganging up on her and her people. Only problem with that was she's actually Persian, not Mexican. She's also been mistaken for Indian, Armenian, Brazilian, you name it. Either way, the Egyptians didn't hide their dislike for Latinos and other minorities.
Then, one of them moved on to talk about African Americans, and that was when I had to shut him down. I said that the things African Americans are going through now, is a result of centuries of racial prejudice and discrimination. This was in response to him, saying that African Americans are always complaining about being victims of slavery. I was not having it. Later, he said that he didn't have a problem with me, because I'm not African American. I'm thinking, either way, I'm still black, and he would have felt the same way towards me if I was some random black person, coming in contact with him on different terms.
It's amazing that people from other countries come to America, and look down on other minorities. Even now, I don't hang with really hang with other International students, because of some of the prejudices they have towards Africans and people of African descent.
Reply to this
Yeah I think it's ridiculous how racist the world still is. It's a cultural thing that goes wayyyyy back. ex: Lighter skin=pure & Darker skin=dirty. And I never understood why people like for example some Asians... Hispanics... etc. come to America and act as though they are not minorities and are better than black people. They are in the same boat as us black people if not worse in some cases. They choose to go to the "white" side and look down on blacks. Like I said...it's historical & cultural factors that cause people to act the way they do. Even with that said though...discrimination is wrong. Even if it's passed down.
Reply to this
They are accepted by Whites as White. I remember a show on Dr. Phil where a racist White man wouldn't accept his Mexican nephew-in-law. The boards were flooded with writers insisting that Mexicans are just White Spanish speakers...huh? The majority of Mexicanos I know are predominantely Aztec descent and very dark and non-White. They usually have Afro mixtures an a few with White spanish blood. It's really sickening to see fellow Asian women kiss White asses and talk down on other minorities. East Asians think they are better than SE Asians. My Chinese neighbor says she is seen as White while married to her White husband. She says Chinese/White is not interracial but Black/White marriage is. Bullshyte I say. Pure unadulterated Bull.
Reply to this
Hello Kay. Attitudes such as these all are the result of lack of knowledge and suppressed history. As I have said before, Black people are the originsl people of this planet, and ALL colored peoples, not limited to some whites have Black DNA, but because od centuries of brainwashing and suppressed knowledge by the Aryan peoples, these facts are not known. Funny how two Egyptians would complain about 'Latinos' since many Latinos are of Arab, African, and 'Amerindian' descent. Many of the Conquistadors were Arab Muslim converts to Christianity, and were mercenaries for the Catholic Church. And as we all know the original Egyptians were jet Ebony Black, and not Arab. And IMHO the terms African-American and Native American make no sense either because it is well known in the Anthropology Community that Blacks were here in the Americas(see Olmecs, Black Darienites, Black Californians, Washitaws, Naragansetts,etc.) before some Native Tribes were established as we know them today. Blacks had kingdoms in what are now modern Asia, the Middle East, Europe, India, The Americas, The Pacific. So yes ALL colored peoples have our blood but are in denial due to their Blancophiliac/Negrophobic tendencies.
The world has a Love/Hate relationship with African/Black people. The Love comes is for our, intelligence, survival, ageless beauty, and resilience. The hate is fear, jealousy, and on behalf of other colord peoples; the knowledge that they would not exist if it weren't for us.
Everyone can hate on Black women, but yet it is every man of another ethnicities' fantasy to sleep with a black woman. Why do women of other ethnicities(particularly White women), throw themselves at Black men, if they are such louts? Why do women of other ethnicities go out of their way to have the body parts and features that Black women have naturally,if we are so unattractive. And why do we always get that jealous envied stare from women of other ethnicities(especially white women)?? If we are so uneducated and unintelligent, why suppress our knowledge, and call us 'racist' if we pull away from the accepted and try to get it back????
I see and experience attitudes like this all the time here in Philly, and I pay it no mind, because I know what the deal really is. I laugh and keep right on moving.

I agree with everything that you have said. I think that it is fear. The things that we have accomplished in a short amount of time. The civil rights movement was in the 60's and it is 2008.
You are also correct in they want what we have: shape, tan, lips. Just imagine what our men could be if they stopped feeding into downfalls (drugs, women, etc.). If this would happen as a race we would regin supreme.

Thanks for dropping that knowledge philly. It bothers me to see other non whites looking down on other races. Everyone, no matter what race are victims in a world that is built on the priviledges of "whiteness". It's seen as a standard of power, sucess, beauty and hapiness. It is only until we move beyond this eurocetric mentality and towards a neutral base that accomadate people of all races and culture.
Reply to this
I have a different view of all that. There are many people of African/Ethiopian heritage in my immediate area, and most don't care too much for American born blacks. From my conversations with a few, they see american born blacks as lazy, forever playing the victim card, unmotivated, promiscuous, violent and enabling of each others shortcomigs. It's not that they think they are "white" or want to be white. They just don't want to be lumped in the same group with the American black, as they see themselves and their communities as a complete polar opposite of the American black. I think instead of letting ourselves be defensive and writing them off as "people who just don't understand the Black American experience", we should take the time to really have a discussion and see why they feel that way. You might be surprised by what you hear. I think it's because they are mostly exposed to negative images and stereotypes of the American Black that are assumed as fact all over the world.
Reply to this
Yup. Your last sentence sums it all. Even now, when I talk to my fam back home, they tell me to be careful of Akatas(Black Americans). The same way the 3rd graders used to call me an African booty scratcher when we first moved to America. That's all they see on Discovery Channel, a bunch of Africans running around buck naked and scratching their yansh. They asked me all kinds of stupid questions.
Reply to this
That's funny. My mom and I were recently talking after the last breakup I shared with you all. She never wanted me to date white when I did. After dating a fellow African I told her may be I should just give up on trying to marry someone from my country to please her. I'll just meet a nice african american man. She told me "NO! They are even worse than the mzungus (white folks)" For an educated woman, she still believes in the stereotypes or one example that is then generalized. Sometimes there's just no winning with her....SIGH

Fashionista many Carribeans share that same mentality. They know they are Black and prideful of where they come from but loathed to be lumped together with Black Americans. Its a "Them" and "Us" thing really translating to better than mind set. We as Blacks have got a lot of work to do. Its not enough to pat ourselves on the back and dismiss everyone else as envious. We can't just read about it, hear about or wish for it we've got to be about it. And we need to broaden our horizons to reach each other. Carribean blacks have gotten taunted by Black Americans for being different, Afro-latinos or latinos period can't bring themselves to acknowledge or accept their blackness, black phlipinos, middle easterners want us to 'understand' they are dark NOT black. We're a bunch of cats in a bag
Reply to this
That's true Fashionista. I have heard of many Blacks born in Africa and the Caribbean that do not like American Blacs for that same reason. They see them as being too American or White.
However, these are the types of attitudes that keep us divided as a people. IMO, there are negative stereotypes about us as people that all ethnicities of non-black people have due to Aryan-supremacy. To further discriminate and be stereotypical against each other speaks volumes, and it is not going to help us any further. To me a Black person from Africa or the Caribbean stereotyping Blacks from America is just like Black American Men stereotyping Black American Women.
When it comes to Black Americans the world sees us as voilent, arrogant, boastful, promiscuous, lazy, dumb, etc. when in truth that is in ALL ethicities that have been Americanized. When it comes to Black Africans they are seen as warlike, heathenish, godless, voilent, malnutritioned, and diseased, even though it is Europeans, Aryan Arabs, Ashkenazi Jews, etc. are completely responsible for what has gone on and is still going on in Africa. And on top of all that those are NOT the only images that can be shown of Africa.
I actually have had people of all ethnicities ask me if I was from another country, because to them I seem 'different' from most American Blacks. Then I tell them, you have not met or conversated with ALL American Blacks so do not generalize all as being the same.

Sorry to go O/T so soon, but I really do not have a clue about the BI today.
Fashionista and Philly Poet I agree with your comments.
Sometimes I think some minorities really think they are better than other people. Philly just I like you I keep it moving they are not worth it.
As for being Americanized I would like to comment on that.
Over the years my island has become very Americanized. It has had a real negative on the country especially the younger generation. In addition to the fact that white people see us as a serious threat, but some of our people do not realize their full potential and fall right into their trap. Well some may beg to differ, but this is my opinion.
Ask anyone about Bermuda in the last say 20 years the island has totally changed. Before the island was safe you could get a ride with anyone from east to west with anyone because everyone was cool it was like a real community vibe. Not anymore would not even consider it.
They had a tech school that trained many of our trademen we had many successful carpenters, masons, painters.
Now this is what they did.
So they saw the black men excelling they all had their own businesses, built their own home, had a boat, car, etc. I’m convinced this is what they did, they stopped the ganja from coming to the island and flooded it with cocaine and heroin. So you know the rest right?.. Not all, but most of the successful trademen got caught up. It’s so sad. To this day it is so hard to find a local trademen from that era on island that does not get high.
They shut down the tech school, so the island was no longer training new trademen because we all know not everyone is academic.
They changed our education system from British to the US system.
BET is probably one of the major culprits in exposing negative images and stereotypes of the American black in my opinion because so many of the young people on the island are influenced by these music videos and the American lifestyle.
Tourism numbers are continuing to drop. This lady I know she stopped coming here because it was becoming too Americanized and she was coming here for over 30 yrs.
We are so lost culturally.
At present, we have 16 yr olds committing murders, a young man got murdered for his chain the thing is it had a jesus/cross pendant the boy was a good youth and his parents were due to take him away to start university in the US the next day.
The graduation rates are at the lowest rates ever.
I just thought I would share as I have seen the effects of Americanization first hand. It is by far not the only reason for the problems, but it has had an effect for sure.
Philly Poet I love your posts, love the knowledge you drop.

Greeneyz I wish for the love of God that our men would stop falling into the 'Aryan Trap'. My grnadmother would say that her mother used to tell her that if Black people stopped following so much in the White Man's footsteps, we would rule the world, because we did at one time. But she also used to say that the bottom rail would come to the top. And I belive that we are seeing that now.
My friend from Jamaica was telling me how organic and fresh everything(fruit, vegetables, fish) in the country is so fresh, yet many of the young people want to consume American products, and we all know how many hormones, addictives, MSG, Aspartame, PCB, is in aot of this crap here. I do not believe that alot od 'organic' products here in the US are really organic.
Yes we are culturally out of touch, more that any other culture 'ethnicity' on Earth. We really need to get back to our own and stop adopting the cultures of people who look down on us and do not really care about us. It is fine to admire and respect ALL cultures of course, but YOUR culture is what gives you and identity and partly guarantess YOUR survival as a people. There is an old Nubian/Kushite saying that goes: "IT IS DISHONORABLE TO BECOME EXTINCT". We need to have our own and not include anyone else, that is how alot of our movements get screwed up: Look what happened to the NAACP and eventually the Civil Rights Movement. They all started out and beneficial to us, then they just began to not benefit us at all in many ways.
Black people are the most feared people on this planet for a reason, and that is why most do not want us to reconnect with our culture, because they know how powerful we would be if we had it again. Why are we the only people that are labeled 'racist' by Whites when we pull away from the accepted and reconnect with our own culture?? Why did slavemasters make it a point to convert ALL Africans into Christianity and make it a mandatory law that Africans not be allowed to participate and hold their own religious ceremonies, then brainwash later generations against it??? We need to begin asking ourselves these questions.

What’s the big deal with interracial couples? Interracial coupling has been around for centuries. People are just more accepting and open to it. I find that black women/people have more of a problem with me dating black men then white women/people. I am Latin (Puerto Rican & Italian) I find that I get more no this bytch didn’t looks from black women. I say this ladies of color/because I am one myself. Stop it. Get an education take care of home and love yourself. There are still a lot of black women who think their only dating option is black men. Black women unfortunately are extremely insecure because in many places especially America, black women are considered the least attractive of the races.(Not by me I think black women are fly) So as black men branch out to other races many black women think their dating options are getting smaller. I try not to take their comments to heart and just realize it stems from their own pain. Value yourself and take pride in your community and it would not be so much of an issue. I know this might sound harsh but it is the solid truth. My daughter is bi racial and the cutest thing around and I am not just saying this because she is my child, she is.
I grew up in the hood/all I ever knew were minorities whether they maybe black, latin, asian, middle eastern descent. The lack of integrity people have for themselves is horrid. Ladies of all colors get it together. Love is blind and colorless hommies.

I agree. You like who you like, so what's wrong with only being attracted to black men if you're a black women? You'd never hear people question a white women for only dating white men. People need to do what makes them happy (and doesn't hurt anybody) without having to justify it to anyone.
As far as the poster who said (forgive me; I'm too lazy to scroll up to see who said it) they have found black women have the most problem with a white woman dating a black man..Where I'm sure there are black women out there who will grit on a black man/white woman being together, most of us couldn't care less. I've found that some of the white women who assume we (black women) spend our existence giving a darn who they date are LOOKING for somebody to react. I'm not saying that is the case of the previous poster..just speaking from my experience.
Reply to this
I don't think people have issues with interracial couples in general, well at least I don't. However, I DO have issues with black people who date exclusively outside of their race and talk down about their female/male counterparts and play into that self hate illness that seems to be running rampand right now. I hope you didn't mean it that way, but your remark about black women getting an education, taking care of home and loving oneself spoke a lot about what we as black women are dealing with. Your repeating that same excuse given by a number of black men given to their white/off black companions. "They" aren't educated. "They" don't know how to take care of themselves or their man. Yes, there are black women who hate on Black men and wouldn't dare be seen near one, but at the same time you rarely hear of them attempting to make it it's own damn movement. We do take pride in ourselves and our community love, and as such for many black women only a black man will do.

Im a flight attendant, pretty cute, if i may say so.

If u walked with a black man in front of me and my girls, u would be surprised because we would smile and keep going... why? Because it would not stop anything in our life.. I didnt know that black women are the least attractive of all the races, who opinion is that?

Okay, I have to disagree with your post. First, as far as adopting the same attitudes of the dominate culture ... Why do you think that the children in the 3rd grade called ItIsWhatItIs an "African booty scratcher"? Because these children, as young as they were, did not want to be associated with Africa because in American dominant society Africa is seen as an uneducated and uncivilized continent lacking in first world technology and innovation. It is called running away from yourself ... where ever you go, there you are. There is more than enough adopting of the same attitudes of the dominant culture for all people of color world wide.
Second, I don't know if you have ever heard news on America broadcast outside of American, but when I did here these broadcasts they were very different than how it is broadcast in America and if it is propaganda, the broadcasts I heard were not particularly flattering to America, so to say that foreigners coming to America have rose colored glasses on when it comes to this "democracy" may not speak to the broad range of those than come to America.

"Why do you think that the children in the 3rd grade called ItIsWhatItIs an "African booty scratcher"?"
My post was referring to the opposite dynamic of some "Africans,Caribbeans,Koreans,etc" perceptions of Amer. blacks.
What you just described is the "American Blacks" negative view on Africa.Our ancestors were force fed negative propaganda through jewish hollywood,racist christianity and history books.Malcolm X talked about this back in 1964,when he went to Africa.Maybe you misunderstood the intent of my post,i'm well aware of the brainwashing & demonizationdone to our ancestors here in regards to Africa.
-Broadcasts
I'm curious where did these broadcasts take place?Were they in a pro-muslim anti zionist part of the country.There is no question in these parts they hate America.
Reply to this
Okay, thanks for the clarification. Your post made it seems that the draw toward the dominant culture was one way.
No, it was not a pro-Muslim anti Zionist part of the country. It was in a place that by most American's standards would be see as benign. The point that I want to make is this, as a child I was taught that every other nation delivers propaganda to its citizens, particularly when dealing with the US and I believed it. When I was older and able to make decisions for myself I took a look at the way the US is viewed outside of the US and decided that there is more than enough propaganda to go around to ALL nations. When I actually listened to the news and saw the perspective that was taken from an outside nation about events within the US is was eye opening. I would recommend that everyone who gets a chance to view the news internationally do so. So no, I don't believe that a great number of educated individuals coming to the US expecting all things rosy in the US.
One final note, in your previous post you stated that most people coming to the US are coming from the bottom rung of the social/economic points of their home countries. This may be true, but that does not mean that these people come to the US unintelligent because one of the ways that the US has flourished as it has so far is it has acted as the most prestigious universities do and skim the cream off of the top of other nations, especially nonwhite people. One good example of this would be Barack Obama's father, whose father was a domestic servant to the British. Obama's father won a scholarship to the University of Hawaii and eventually went on to Harvard.

Just to further clarify.When I say 'bottom of the totem pole" I'm strickly referring to their economic status not their intellect.Many Africans can speak several different languages,I'm sure the younger generation takes education more seriously than some of ours take it.

Always thought how Boule' Arthur Ashe got aids was bit suspicious.I'm not saying he was gay.Just that perhaps he may of been purposely given tainted blood.
Just a thought.

I heard the same theory.

Me too. My cousin used to date Arthur back in the day (my family is from Richmond) and she had a lot to say about his getting tainted blood and subsequent death. She has since married and is a retired teacher and always spoke fondly of him and his family.

I don't know if this is Philip Michael Thomas but I know he was a gigolo between acting gigs and Dionne Warwick was one of his biggest paying customers. When he was starving, he used his looks to shack up with ugly women glad to have a pretty man, they fed and clothed him, when a part came along, he dumped them. Philip has 11 kids, only one boy, 10 girls.

Sounds like a good match.

Okay, this is completely wrong. Philip has 5 boys, not 1 and he has 6 girls. The rest of your post sounds legitimate though. I just wanted to set the record straight.

How about that actor Leon?
Reply to this
Leon is a good guess and I can assume he is Bi because he defended DL men in an interview about his role in the film cover. I know he has a child with that model cynthia bailey and he was married to her but I heard he's been spotted with real fem acting guys lately.
Reply to this
Leon played the DL role a little too good in Cover! This BI fits his character in Waiting to Exhale..and a few other movies now that I think of it!
Reply to this
HBomb, I can't remember who, but somebody once posted they seen Leon kissing another dude outside in front of everyone ?
I've heard myself that Leon is arrogant as hell....Harry Lennox who was in the 5-hertbeats, used to teach at my siblings school.I met him and he seemed very nice...They ALL came to the school to promote the 5-Heartbeats, and different ones told me that Leon was the most stand-offish...
Reply to this
kissing another dude? Wow..but you guys are right, he really fell into that role in Cover.

I know right...Either he's just a DAMN good actor, OR it was art imitating life
Reply to this
Leon is one of the most conceited men I've ever met. He is super stuck on himself and always looking in a mirror. He's best friends with Denzel, wonder why Denzel want help him out and give him roles in some of his films, maybe he thinks Leon being younger will show him up. Denzel and Lenny Kravitz own several businesses across the country together.

Funny you said that about Denzel helping Leon. Shoot...I always wondered why Bob Johnson didn't help him out ? It was posted right here on PR that they are all good friends ??? Bob was CEO of BET and a billionaire. I know that him and Denzel can pull some strings to help Leon. But, then again maybe they have ? Also, maybe Leon's attitude is costing him acting jobs, because I heard that nobody likes to work with him. Some of the DJ's on WGCI, here in Chicago was talking about Leon's rep out in Hollywood.

Good evening, PR crew! This may seem a little out of left field, but what about 50? I say this because the BI says East Coast and that he's done well with investments. We know Em & Dre produced his first major album, but maybe a woman in the industry was the one who passed his demo to them. IDK, just throwing it out there.
Reply to this
I personally dig 50, I think his physique and his business sence are a few aspects that make him sexy, however...i dont think the majority of women would agree...and judging from his based on real life events movie...about how he got hii start, he was more into selling drugs..then dancing or being a make whore...

P Dyse- I haave to share some info. A good friend of mine worked in AR for a major record company and 50Cent caused major lustful thoughts whenever he rolled thru the offices. From women 8-80, of all stations in life and all ethnicities. From what I was told 50 has major SWAGGER and his photos and videos don't do him justice. According to my friend he exudes straight sex appeal and is a gentleman to boot. She says he puts his focus on whomever he is talking to like she is the last and the sexiest woman on earth and that he is NOTHING like his thug portrayals. He also remembers birthdays, anniversies and things like that...So there are quite a few women who find 50 irresistible.

Just to chime in on 50......I'll put a paper bag on that head of his, b/c IMO that body is defintely banging. He's sculpted just like my favorite amusement park ride, the double loop

50 is sexy squared. It is in his smile. He smiles with his eyes. And it is also in his charm. Watch 50 in interviews. Not 106 and Fart etc. But interviews like The View etc That dude will charm Babs panties off.
I have always found men who can smile with their eyes as well being charming sexy.
I'd put it on 50. Then again from what Miss GS said he 'll probably be the one putting it on me.

Wow so you really think it's appropriate to call Toni Braxton a hoe?? So are we to understand that you have had only one sexual partner your entire life ??? And she's a hoe but his ass hasn't had a job in years , so what name do you have for him ??? and he didn't leave Mint Condition...he got sent home... SMH

I noticed that also. I only call someone a H when they deliberately seduce a friend or loved ones partner with malicious intent. Any other time 2 consenting adults decide to do what they do, then it is what 2 consenting adults decide to do. Their decision and their consequences to face. I think of Kim K and Supahead type women as "disposables".

Good Morning Lit:
I have been lurking for a bit, and I have major respect for you. I don't know what happened with you and some other peeps earlier on here. But since this is a public forum, I call it like I see it as well. Keri chose to leave IMO because he was tired of the hard grind that MINT had to keep up to be visible, and he thought Toni's stacks were a little longer. These are my opinions until otherwise proven not to be the truth. No harm in free expression, right.

Gregory Abbott has a P.hD he could fall back on anytime, he's a genius and was a professor at U.C. Berkeley. His goal was to record one standard that would be played over and over so he could get publishing throughout his life. He accomplished that with shake you down. His sister was married to Robert DeNiro at one time. Gregory and Freda Payne had one son when they were married, Gregory, Jr. but you never hear anything about him.

Almost all rappers come from single family homes and hate women but a friend broke it down for me. This society is so racist, the only power black men have is over their women.
Reply to this
I think a lot of men have anger issues and tend to strike out at the closet victim, their women. We know that just as many White Atheletes, White Entertainers and White Politicians commit domestic violence. It just seems as usual when a black man does it, the portrayal is that much more negative and much more maginifed. It goes back to that whole "blacks as animals" thought process.
Reply to this
Could it be that something traumatic happened to them while they were children and they feel like their mother knew about it and didn't do anything to stop it or defend them???
I've heard of a person who raped a number of women and spent a good amount of time in jail for it. He said it was because he and his mom would get physically and mentally abused as a child and his mom did nothing to stop it and never left and he felt like she should have done something to protect him. That was how he "acted out." I'm no psychologist, so I'm speculating.

See, that's the F'ed up part. The older cats, the ones that are supposed to be mentors etc, are actually telling the younger ones don't date or marry a black woman. How the hell can you justify passing your ignorance and shortcomings as a man down along the line? I'm telling you... a real tide is going to come where more and more blackwomen are going to start looking for Mr. Right elsewhere and drop the notion of holding out for that one black man. And when that happens, everyone be prepared to hear the "why are our sisters betraying us, come back my black queen and leave that white devil alone rhetoric in full force. We are the only culture that treats our male/female counterparts like dress pants, meaning whatever shade or cut is in fashion that's the one everyone wants.
Reply to this
I think that tide you spoke of is already happening. I know more than a few black women who date black and outside their race. And when I am available, I keep my options open. "Equal Opportunity Dating" is what I call it jokingly, but the reason why as far as the women I know is because either the black men aren't interested in them, have something wrong with them, or are too wrapped up in the Hip Hop and/or Thug mentality. So why limit yourself to one pool of men when there could be something more in another race?

Hey Sheknows, Had a fun weekend I see.
Thanks to Nique for the tip about the issue I had with my person email, it worked. What's up PJSMOMMY, I am fine now and how are you?
I got to add that most of our Black men are successful because of their BLACK MOTHER/SISTER. I use to help my brothers with their homework, even in college. Look at the entertainment world alone, most of the black men in sports/movies/music,etc are there due to their black mothers. Yes the black mother that held down a job or two to provide for you and your siblings. The same one who came home to cook a meal/or two so you are fed. The same one who get worried sick when you not feeling well. And the same black mother who sacrifice her own health for the sake of taking care of family and home. Most black women don't have the options white women have. If you take a wealthy person out of their enviorment and put them in rural area and asked them to survive, can they? My point is, God designed us specificly to possess certain qualities. Most black women are homemakers/providers, and its not by choice. So by nature, we are out of our element. Yes we maintain and are successful but its still not a part of GOD's given natural make-up. If I was born in the Major race, I wouldn't have an attitude? at times either. I would always have a smile planted on my face, but unfortunately at times as a minority woman I don't. And its have absolutely nothing to do with having an attitude, but due to stressfuel issues. There are quite a few BLACK Women I know personally that are going to school(full-time), working full-time job and raising children. I am one of them. So if my attitude is not pleasant ALL of the time it has absolutely nothing to do with me being a black woman.
Take a moment and walk in OUR SHOES. Most people will view us quite differently if so.
Imperfect man have no clue on what TRUE BEAUTY IS. Most of these people are followers. They don't want to think for themselves. There use to be a time where having big lips and butt was not the IN thing. Now look at this society. How does it make sense to put what another race NATURALLY have on someone who dont' naturally have it, and title it as being a PERFECT example of BEAUTY. LOL!!! LOL! Yes confused,imperfect humans. SMDH! LOL! STFU! Due to pride/ego most of these BLACk men that date YT women are not going to express the issues they are having with them. And they do have issues cause they are not PERFECT. So they are going to save face. They think we're are going to say, you ask for it. Now look, the grass was so green on the other side. LOL! So stop thinking that we don't know.
My comments are for the ones who fit the profile. I wouldn't dare put all black men in this scenario. I have a black father was/is a very good father/provider as well as 2 brother whom are as well. But I have an uncle who told me and my sister to not marry a black man. I get into that story later.
Reply to this
I also think black is beautiful, but saying it and feeling it is two different things. I feel like being black sometimes is a curse. I mean look at how our men disrespect us by hooking up with white women and constantly preaching how unattractive and undesirable we are. I was at a fast food establishment and happen to be eating lunch and saw three professional looking black men with white women on their arms. I tried my best to ignore them, but deep down this hurts my soul. Because it is one less available man that another sister could of had. There is already a shortage to began with.
BTW, I am married to a very nice man, but has some serious credit issues. Go figure, I guess we have to compromise somewhere.

I heard when Ginuwine was stripping, he did party favors on the side with women who threw money at him. Ginuwine is fine all over, his biggest mistake was sleeping with superhead. He's broke, 5 kids a messed up record deal that didn't exist and he had a vasectomy. His best friend Tyrese is another one who has blisters like Jason Kidd. He's like an alley cat who got around. They vacation together and whore around together away from their women.

Hi BP. So did Tyrese marry the mother of his child?

I doubt it, he was supposed to but never heard nothing about any wedding. Tyrese is real private, until he got rough with her, nobody knew he even had a gf expecting a child.

yes that's true--now that you say that. he's always been very quiet about his personal life

Reply to this
Ryan Cameron, a radio DJ here in Atlanta, mentioned something about Janet Jackson having Vertigo. It's supposed to be some sort of illness that affects your equilibrium. I don't know how true this is, but I have known a couple of coworkers to suffer from it. If it is true, then she's really not in any shape to walk to the bathroom let alone give a concert.

Ryan got that off a message board from someone claiming to be her brother Randy Jackson. Hasn't been confirmed if it really was Randy. Questionable journalism.

Hello everyone. I hope all is well...I believe this is Blair Underwood. I've read on here where he had a "Sugar Daddy" before he made it in the business. And I've met his parents in Virginia and they said they supported Blair by selling Amway products. But I'm thinking he did more than his parents knew about.

You are right. Latifah is a very big spender with the ladies, especially blonde white women. She's with someone named Jeaneatte but she loves blondes. Alicia is also a big spender with the ladies and Missy Elliott is just a mark to be had. Debbie Allen is interesting and Jasmine Guy is back to dipping and dabbling.

Hello AfterDark, Is it true that Debbie Allen turned out most of the girls on A Different World? I've heard that like forever...
Reply to this
They were already turned out and she let Gene Anthony Ray drive her Jag all over Hollywood. He went overseas to male prostitute when funds dried up and he lived with a gay porn star. He got into coke bad and was living on a park bench before he died from a stroke brought on by AIDS. A shell of himself.

I remember before I even truly knew what a lesbian was that King Latifah was fighting with Whitney Houston over that white actress from Top Gun, Kelly Mcgillis. And that was in in the damn 80s! Latifah is always in the bungalows at the beverly Hills Hotel with model looking chicks, black and white. When that lesbian bar "peanuts" was hot back in the day in LA, Latifah, Jasmine Guy, Debbie Allen and Jada were notorious for being in there looking for some action. Missy Elliot loves little tiny asain chicks.
Reply to this
Kelly hates blacks because two black men raped her back in the day. I heard her and Jody Foster screwed each other everyday on the set of the accused. Peanuts was notorious. Beautiful lesbians with Keenan trying to score three ways, wild and crazy.

When keenan was married he owned a seperate house a few doors up from his main residence where he would throw the craziest wildeest freakiest parties in LA. He would have threesomes, orgies, whatever up in that place. I hope who ever bough that place after he was done with it called in a priest to do an exorcism. they did sick sh## in there!

I have never really thought Nicole Murphy was as pretty as they made her out to be. I know she was once a model but there's something about her face maybe her cheeks,chin forehead when she has a hair cut short or pulled back off her face she looks like maybe she could be a tranny. We all know she's not but she does have hard features.
Maybe that's what attracted Eddie.

I noticed the same thing about Jada. Her face looks very chisled. I can see she has gotten work done. It looks good enough to take a 2nd or 3rd look but her face looks obviously different. Glad I wasnt the only one who noticed.
Reply to this
I have to say, Jada has become quite *clears throat*... manly in her appearance. I have seen several candid shots and she was so sharp and angular in the face. But if you look at her body is is all muscle, and what happens to women especially as they get older and remain that thin and muscular they look harder in the face because they dont have good old natural body fat to smooth those creasings and lines out.... *returns to lurk position*

Good morning darling, recovering from that party. Miss Sable was the standout again, sometimes I wish I wasn't the best looking woman in the room, but what can a girl do? When you are born beautiful.

The gorgeous one wore Versace lingerie. I was looking too sexy. St. Tropez was not the only thing in demand darling, the celebrities and money people were also in demand. My friend Neiman was after big money all night, they even went into a room together, came out minutes later, can we say rejection. So many beautiful girls in L.A., even gorgeous ones get rejected, being faithful is rare, but that was the reason for this rejection I hear.

shocker to who? Her acting is O-Tay - Jodie is one of the best - excellent actress
Reply to this
I wasn't referring to Jodie's win being a shocker, but Kelly's exclusion from the Best Supp. Actress category. (Although Jodie faced some very stiff competition from Sigourney Weaver and Glenn Close that year). In fact, the entire line-up that year('88) for Best Actress was in top form.

The story I heard was Whitney and Jody Foster fighting over Kelly McGillis. I knew someone who went to the girl parties and always used to talk about Whitney being at them.This was back when Whitney was everywhere: BB (before Bobby), she was A-list.
At the time, I don't think Queen Latifah was big enough to be in that particular girl circle. Back in the 80s she was still doing that Flava Unit thing. She was known only in the black community then.

Regarding Queen Latifah, that means even women like blondes once they get famous, lol. Also I'm surprised about Jasmine Guy being bi but not Debbie Allen (although I was before).

Props up top to the poster who said BMF is still operating. True, I really do think the front page was about the black syndicate still working underground was them. The Maserati was the giveaway, I heard the ones who didn't get indicted are rolling around in Benz's and Maserati's on the low. When they had Blu Davenci's brothers funeral out here, BMF had so many beautiful members, the funeral looked like an open call for a modeling agency. Meech started out respecting women and then they became bitches and ho's. His brother hated that he couldn't let go of the high profile, said it would be their downfall and he was right. Feds had a hard on for them when they put up that sign in the ATL, the world is ours and they didn't stop until they brought them down.

Shemar Moore popped into my mind as i was reading this, simply because he is very georgous and women do swoon to him. Next he has dated some top notch chicks in his day like Toni Braxton & Halle Berry--thus the "conquest list". So my guess is Shemar.
I doubt it is Boris. Maybe Genuine, but i just don't think so. His wife is saved and i dont think she would tolerate her hubby escorting or skrippin'. And Boris' daughter is fighting an illness and him & his wife are busy doing fundraisers to aid in finding a cure. SO again, mu guess is Shemar with a close runner up to Ray J...cuz he's rich just being Brandy's brother and he is a male whore who has "conquered" many women like Whitney Houston to Kim Kardasian & Lil' Kim. So it could be him too.

In regards to this BI, I thought Blair Undies, oops I meant Underwood. But, from what I am reading I am not too sure. I don't like Shemar for this BI. I used to think that man oozed Zexyness, but, since he did Soul Train, all I think now is corniness. So, all in all I have no clue whom this could be.

Let me make sure I have this right, Faith Evans didn't know Pac was signed to Death Row and she didn't know Big was cheating on her for two years with Kim? WTF. The entire world knew both things, was she in a drug haze?

Hey Soul Train **waving**
My sentiments exactly, yes I believe she's still in that same drug haze.
Reply to this
Faith not knowing that Pac was on Death Row? Yeah, right, nobody's believing that one. Everyone knew when he signed with them, even if you didn't follow Pac like that.
Her not knowing that Big was cheating with Kim for 2 years. Probable. She seems to be one of those girls who doesn't ask not one single question of her man or go against anything that he says thinking that is the way to keep a happy home. Depending on how she was raised, she may not even know what real love and partnership is suppose to look like, since kids do learn that from their parents and tend to repeat that in their adult lives. Just my un-professional opinion.

Hey Deanna, I so agree with your post. Her Pac memories sound like pure BS. And although I find it hard to believe it took Faith 2 years to figure out Kim was the side chick, I can believe that based on how she was introduced and him trying to get her to mentor Kim to the biz that she may not have picked up on it right away.
But she still seems delusional about most of the things she's writing and I totally believe it's all about a check!

I just know a few women who got into relationships and all of us friends knew that dude wasn't right and was trying to tell her, but either they never questioned their man or they questioned and believed his words. After time, of course, blatant stuff happened. Some left the man. Some stayed based on their rank in his life.
All I can say is that it's all crazy. Whatever 2 adults want to do is fine with me. Just don't try to dress up a turd and try to convince me it's a Snickers. I'd prefer if people were to say, "this is the arrangement we came up with and we both have an understanding."

It's like everyone has stated on PR before Faith is trying to change history and playing the victim. This book should be listed in the Fiction section of the book stores instead of autobiography. Big treated all of his side pieces like trash, but not her. He didn't respect her either if he's blatantly cheating on her; asking her to help Kim workout; other women calling at the house; and the list goes on and on. Her bullish detactor didn't start to go off with lil kim until later? My Faith lie detector is screaming bullsh*t!!

Phillpoet and Bayou,
What’s the big deal with interracial couples? Interracial coupling has been around for centuries. People are just more accepting and open to it. I find that black women/people have more of a problem with me dating black men then white women/people. I am Latin (Puerto Rican & Italian) I find that I get more no this bytch didn’t looks from black women. I say this ladies of color/because I am one myself. Stop it. Get an education take care of home and love yourself. There are still a lot of black women who think their only dating option is black men. Black women unfortunately are extremely insecure because in many places especially America, black women are considered the least attractive of the races.(Not by me I think black women are fly) So as black men branch out to other races many black women think their dating options are getting smaller. I try not to take their comments to heart and just realize it stems from their own pain. Value yourself and take pride in your community and it would not be so much of an issue. I know this might sound harsh but it is the solid truth. My daughter is bi racial and the cutest thing around and I am not just saying this because she is my child, she is.
I grew up in the hood/all I ever knew were minorities whether they maybe black, latin, asian, middle eastern descent. The lack of integrity people have for themselves is horrid. Ladies of all colors get it together. Love is blind and colorless hommies.
Peace and Blessings

Ok, granted I did not see the post you are referring to, but I am a Black women and trust me when I tell you I don't want to date outside my race.. Yes Latinos and white men are after me. That is good you found love and happniess. Don't catgorize all women of color from your experince. If I catgorize all latino women from my experince. I would think all latino women are drug out whores..

Hi Deanna, girl notice like the other night a troller came in to open a flood gate. This one comes in thinking she knows black women
She does have some self hating going on, one thing we sisters don't have is self hating. I guess since she has bi-racial kids and is with a black man she now think she know what and how black women think.

The only issues any black women on this board have w/interracial dating is when the people in the relationship fit these scenarios:
1. black man who dislikes black women and that is why he dates outside his race
2. non black woman who feels she is "above/better" than a black woman and that entitles her to steal black men.
3. non black women who feels any children she has with a black man will not be black.
4. non black women who date black men to use them as they are "easier tricks" than white men.
The overall tone of your email is a bit off putting to say the least. You signed peace and blessings but it just doesn't ring sincere.

You think Black women are fly... IS that why you came on here and told us to get an education and love ourselves... so in your opinion being stupid and self hating is fly?? You are no better than these "Back women" that your are complaining about... First of all how dare you assume that Black women are uneducated... do you know Philly and Bayou ?? Based on past conversations, I know that both have AT LEAST been to college...neither have ever said anything that leads me to believe that they don't love themselves...
And as far as these so called "bitch I know you didn't looks" you PERCEIVE from Black women...how do you know that it is not about YOU and your personality as opposed to who you're dating... Based on this post I have a feeling I might give you that same look and I don't give a damn who you're dating...
My problem with people like you and Kim Kardashian is that you seem to think that Black women envy you or want to be you ... NEWSLASH... I don't never have and never will... and then you pretend to know what the F*** we deal with on a daily basis... How dare you think that you are in a position to tell us how we should feel or how we should deal with our damn community... You have so much advice for us... what have you done other than make a bi-racial daughter ??? What impact have you had on your community???

How dare you speak of my child in a condencing tone like that. I do not feel like I am any better than you never once in my post did I say that. You are twisting my words. As for the looks, you don't know me well enough to even look @ me that way. I just don't go out of my way to hurt people. I never said Philly and Bayou were uneducated, please re-read the post, I was speaking about women from my area. Not only black women/white as well. I also stated women of all colors,.
Reply to this
Since your competence in written English obviously leaves much to be desired, I will share this with you gently. Your post WAS directed to Philly and Bayou. You referenced women from your area in regards to how they look. The "stop it" and "get an education" remarks were embedded in such a way as it appears you are still speaking to them. You know what you did - just acknowledge and feel free to back your way S-L-O-W-L-Y out of the room
Reply to this
I think the bottom line is this: You used some broad statements in your original comment that are not well-received, to put it lightly. You cannot now try to back-peddle & say that you were speaking about women in your area now.
Broad statements from YOUR comment:
(1) "I find that black women/people have more of a problem with me dating black men then white women/people."
(2) "I find that I get more no this bytch didn’t looks from black women."
(3) "Get an education take care of home and love yourself." (in reference to Black Women who you say give you certain looks.
(4) "There are still a lot of black women who think their only dating option is black men."
(5) "Black women unfortunately are extremely insecure because in many places especially America, black women are considered the least attractive of the races."
(6) "(Not by me I think black women are fly)" <--sad attempt to take yourself out of your own opinion and deemed insincere.
(7) "I try not to take their comments to heart and just realize it stems from their own pain."
(8) "Value yourself and take pride in your community and it would not be so much of an issue."

no dear women can be extremely insecure. do not trivialize and generalize black women. OKAY.
my oldest sister does not want to date men outside her ethnicity. however, she does not tell others what to do. if she did then that would be racist...
and by the way DO NOT LECTURE another ethnic group of women. stay in your lane.
sincerely,

Woooow. Black women need to get an education take care of home and love themselves oh and don't let me remind you black women to stop being extremely insecure.
Young lady and I know you are, you have a lot to learn about black women and I pray this is not coming from that black man that was birthed by an un-educated and extremely insecure black woman. One day "other" races will stop assuming that "they" know what's wrong with us. As far as I'm concerned shugga I'M JUST FINE!!!! So what happened? Tired of being mistreated by "your" on men or did you find yourself in the un-educated and insecure column of your race?

I take offense to your entire tirade. How dare you come on a black site owned by an African American woman and berate black women. Being married to a black man does not make you black. Our experiences are totally different. I would never lecture a Latino person on how they should feel. Do not characterize us by what you see on BET or the local news. Have you taken a national poll on the dating habits of African American women? If not, then do not group us all in the same category with your one black female friend.
In your response below you mentioned that you have a white collared corporate job; live in an urban area; have worked in your community; married to a strong black man with a wonderful upbringing. What do you want?...a biscuit? Maybe you are the one who is insecure. A last point..you mentioned that your daughter is "biracial and the cutest thing around." Is she cute because she's biracial or because she was created from the love you and your husband have for each other? No need to answer that question. Maybe next time before you comment on the thoughts and feelings of black people you will think twice.
Reply to this
First of all honey, no one said anything about IR dating. The topic of this thread is about the stereotypes of African/Black people by other people of color. And if we want to make a big deal about anything it's our business. I'm not trying to start anything, but your comment is a little off.
First of all I personally have no problem with IR, I have been in them, what I have a problem with is the fact that many IR couples are not together for love, but for fantasy, and I have a problem that there are Black Men/Black Women who REFUSE to date and say that they hate the other when they have Black parents.
And I doubt that you get dirty looks from Black women, because most Black women in case you do know. Have some of the highest self-esteems on record and we are getting our educations, because there are more of us in college and with degrees than our Black Men unfortunately. If anything we get looks of envy or jealousy from women of other ethnicities(particularly White Women)because they envy OUR strength, confidence, resilience, courage, intelligence, and yes our beauty. And if we were so unattractive, why do women of other ethnicities go out of ther way to have body parts, and skin tones that we are naturally born with??? Why do so many men of other ethnicities have fantasies of being with a Black Woman. Why did I have several 'Latino Men' from various countries told me they loved my huge Afro when I had it and now they love my locs???
I myself consider 'Latinos' to be our bretheren, but so many have negative attituds towards Blacks. And it has been made clear by women on this board and through ones that I have known personally, that many 'Latino' women have just as much of a dislike towards Black Women as White Women do.
And for the recorn I do love myself and most of the women on here love them selves too, and do not need anyone to tell us to. We have our own monies, investments, businesses, degrees, law firms, etc. and have NOTHING to be jealous about. When truth comes down to it we can get anyone we want, and have the admiration, respect of many even if they do not admit to it...

How can we hate ourselves when we have 2 babies to teach about thier culture. Our children have been taught that they are both black and latino. And it does irritate me when Latinos talk negatively about blacks. I am like HELLLLOOOO who do you think your ancestors are. I do believe there is a reason why the powers that be want blacks and latinos to be divided . Come on now it's not that hard to see why they would want that.

I have never once said that or felt that. I do not sit there and look for people's reaction to us as a couple/family. I am living in the south now and have got enough looks from Whites just being Latin. I am just confused about your post and why you totally took it the wrong way when I was agreeing with you and just giving a postive perspective from someone in an interraccial relationship who DOES NOT THINK LIKE THAT.

Reply to this
Hi Miseducated, I know that you probably didn't want to come off as judgmental or bashing Black women...but you did ? Even with the Peace & Blessings at the end it still came off as so.
1. Black women aren't at all considered the least attractive. Many who won't date them openly, lust after them, and WILL creep in the dark.
2. There are MANY Black women that have an education, and are getting one ? There are many right here on PR, myself included ?
3. Many of us ARE taking care of home and we LOVE ourselves as well as others.
This isn't any disrespect to you at all. I just respectfully disagree with your analysis of us "ladies of color"... It's not fair OR correct to say that all Black women are thus and so ♣

Reply to this
SMH, I was talking about my experience and where I come from. If your life different more power to you. I am not saying all black women are this way what I am saying is from my experience/my point of view. If you took offense to my comment I apologize but these are my thoughts/experiences. I live in an urban area, work a white collar corporate job and do things for my community as a whole. My partner is a strong man (he is black) with morals and a wonderful upbringing (both parents black parents). My point is this love comes from within. I teach my daughter to have respect for herself, have respect for others no matter the race/color/religion. Racial mixing has nothing to do with preservation of culture. Preservation of culture is taught by parents that want to teach their children about the history of their ethnicity.
If you are from anywhere/ or your family originates from anywhere that was touched by colonialism then you yourself have a 70% chance of being a product of racial mixing. What’s the matter with your life if seeing people of two different races in love bother you?
(The quote about black women not wanting to date outside their race was from one of my many close girl friends) I/We teach my children about their ethnicities. We read, watch documentaries and learn together. My comment was sincere. I am just so tired of both blacks/whites making it a big deal. I love who I love, we don't judge anyone else, we pay our taxes, take care of our children, and are not on welfare (welfare consists of mostly whites). I am proud to be with a man that respects me, takes care of our children, and is a good person so what if he is black? Doesn't really matter much to me.

your partner ?? So he hasn't wifed you yet even though you've given him this beautiful biracial daughter... you work in corporate America... but you don't want to tell us what your job is... you grew up in the hood so you know all about the Black experience... you are light brown (funny so am I ...and I'm still Black) and you know what every Black woman needs to do to be happy... because we are so INSECURE and the LEAST ATTRACTIVE of all women... don't worry we understood you the first time... I just think you are wrong as two left shoes... but maybe you should just put all your sage advice into an eye opening and thought provoking book... *calls friends (Black white and latino) so uh I have a book to burn.. you all bring the wine and the marshmallows... and when we're done we'll go see about getting us an education *

So is this why B forgot the first few words to the second verse of Flaws and All in Bermuda? I guess when you have 70 songs rolling around in your head you could forget anything. Her background was quick on their feet. I sure would like to talk to her about her "ALL GIRL BAND".
Flames here, flames there, flames everywhere. It's a wonder the Island didn't catch on fire. From the Whispers to Keys in L sharp. Jesus have mercy on all of their souls. The dust in peoples eyes was soooo thick all the vacuums in house keeping were broke. No cut cards or anything. Just HOW YOOOU DOIN everywhere?!!!!
It was not as enjoyable as last year. A and B brought all of the youngins out. Even loud a$$ Vanessa Simmons. MY DAD doe,dope rae me, SHUTUUUUP doe,dope ra me. She's cute though. My neck still hurts from it all. I'll just say anytime female advances make Grandma go to her room and drink, then it's time to find another port and I don't mean Taylor. And why do Bi men think they can not be spotted? When the men weren't bitting they were trying to play the switch game. NOT!!!! All they need is 1 Grand Marnier. WHAT MAN DRINKS GM?

Hey Grandma2x!!.. Welcome back.
At the last minute I got a ticket to B..like 1hr and a half before the show.
I thought B's night was the most enjoyable I guess I had too much cocktails did not catch her missing the words to that song.
Her all female band was off the hook weren't they. They are definitely something to talk about.
Where the concert was u could sit outside and hear it loud and clear. That's what I did for Alicia's night. She was doing so much talking all I was thinking of was PR and the talk about Alicia being a pimp. I can totally believe it and my niece was like as much as she tries to dress up she still comes across masculine. Alicia bored my life tho.. her and Solange.

Hey Greeneyez. Beys show was very good, a shorter version of her tour. I quess since Jay wasn't getting a check he didn't show up.

Poor, poor, confused,silly female.
You are simply regurgitating the lies that have been taught to you.
These lies help you feel better about yourself when you know that at your core, deep in that quiet place in your mind where you think no one else can see--you truly admire and envy the beauty of black women.
Your men have also confused you because they taught you--and the women who bore you, that they didn't find the black woman attractive so that you wouldn't notice when they disappeared to go find their black female victims and mistresses. The loved the black woman so much that they spent much of the 1600's-1900's lightening up the race with their indiscretions.
So you--and women like you, desperately cling to what you know to be falsehood because it is truly, all that you have to keep you alive.
Know this...every OUNCE of beauty that you believe you have, every curve, every full lip, every full lock of hair, every single OUNCE of your so-called beauty was donated to you from an African female ancestor. These are not the rantings of an "uneducated" woman, this is knowledge that can be verified and documented. You owe your existence to us. You owe everything that you hold "feminine", "alluring" and "beautiful" to us. The DNA of a black woman who looks just like most of the women on this board courses through your veins and the veins of all of your cohorts.
Poor, confused, silly, female. I feel sorry for you.

Doesn't really matter much to me...", you show a surprising lack of respect for the very person you're with. If you're going to insist on being a bigot, you should at least have the integrity to admit that. Back-peddling makes you look even weaker.
If I were you, I'd look a little more beneath the surface, as you seem to have insecurities about black women (and possibly men), that even you are unaware of. I'm not black by the way, but I have real love for black men AND women. They have a soul and spirituality that I admire and can relate to.
It would serve you well to have more respect for yourself and others. See that you are raising a child who is of colour as well. She is blessed, don't let your ignorance get in the way of raising a beautiful young woman who does not see colour lines, as that's a very superficial, uninformed way to live.
By the way, although I'm not black, my skin is. And there's never been a day when I thought I was unattractive. God has blessed me too, sister. Love yourself, and everything else will follow.
And if you insist on holding to an over-simplified, negative outlook like this, that's certainly your prerogative. But be sure to keep that to yourself. Not everyone feels like they need to be of a lighter skin tone to have a sanctified experience on earth.
Blessings,
She

Hey you! I'm good thanks for asking. How was your weekend? I just got back from Dallas, I had to go to a wedding. I see someone has pissed off the ladies today. I'm just going to sit this one out and let you ladies (Lit, don't hurt 'em hammer!!) take care of her. LOL

Um you also have a different language because that posts was not in any English that I speak.. and if you have a prblem with litigating direct it to her... because as much as I love love love Black men... I don't have to hide behind one... I handle litigating's business just fine... sorry I know you are not used to dealing with an educated Black woman that LOVES herself but welcome to Panache !!

Lit, I'm wondering why if she grew up in the hood, she didn't understand the "Please, Hammer, don't hurt 'em" reference to MC Hammer circa early 90s. Instead, she read that as a threat?! SMH.

Clearly she's trying to provoke and "stir the pot" by saying such things under the guise of her opinion that was originally broad and encompassed ALL black women, and then she tried to "take it back" and reference only the black women she allegedly grew up around.
Unfortunately, these aren't the type of comments that can be ignored as easily as say something immature from someone like Khloe Kardashian, so she'll just keep getting verbally beat down until Spymaster or Amber bans her.
Clearly she doesn't know when to stop replying.

Very well put Lit, We as AA men know that beautiful and intelligent AA women are more desireable across the racial board (you included) and I think for a long time AA men were intimidated by that. I've heard so many excuses as to why we as men could not step up. Those excuses have run out and we now realize that we control our own destiny (up to a point). Love has no color yes I do agree to that, but like you said, it takes someone with a similiar background to able to understand the struggles of our culture. Latino's may be able to sympathize with our struggle, they will never be able to truly know what it is like to be oppressed. I mean they have their own country(s) that they can go back to at anytime. Last time I checked we did not have that luxury.
Reply to this
Sweetheart, I am not making threats towards you...I don't even know you but, what I do know is this: As a black man, if I went to a mostly Caucasian website talking about how white women need to take care of their homes and love themselves b/c black men are taking them away from white men, I would be cursed out, called all types of names and probably banned from the site. All I'm saying is that you made some good points (not really) but you did not choose your words carefully.
There are many educated AA women in America and on this site. It is they who have held the brothas down over the years and now we are becoming more responsible and educated. Like I stated above, I just got back from Dallas, and I was so proud to see and meet so many educated brothas and sistas. And it is stereotypes like yours that keep the myths alive about us. I dare not speak on Latino culture b/c I am not an expert, nor do I have the genetic make up to do so.
So with all of that, you cannot throw stones and a glass house. Espescially if that house is protected by a group of strong individuals who can come together and educate those who are ignorant about the dealings with AA culture. So don't take this as a diss, just think of it as an educational experience. Thanks....

Obviously your experience with Black people is very limited. Why are you telling us to get an education and take care of our home? We can say the same thing about your racial group. All I see is people of your ethnicity coming here illegally, but I know that is a limited view. I know that there are educated Latino's just as there are educated Blacks. I have two Bachelor's, one in Human Resources and the other in Accounting. Wouldn't you take offence to someone telling you that you are uneducated, especially since we don't know you? I see that you cleaned your initial statement up, but wow, think about what your saying before making statements like that.

When I say black women (I am not saying all I am saying the people I have come in corner with) As in Fly yes there are gorgoues black women out there its a shame main stream media doesn't see it as that much. There are intelligent black women as well I.E. this board. Now for you that have taken offense I think you took my comments too harsh. I live in a prodominate black area, where we chose to raise our children. There is ignorance all around us so don't tell me I don't have the rite to feel the way I do. My children are black yes, but they also know that color does not make you who you are. You do. I do much for my community as a whole. I am involved in voter registration, food banks and teach my children to know that people are people no matter what.

Did this BI ever get solved? Not to go off the topic interracial dating but you know, it got way too heavy in here and I really like when the posters go off on tangents that educate people and not put them down.
So my guess is never right but I am going with sexy Shemar with the missing tooth.
Reply to this
I don't think we ever reached a consensus...I'm so confused as to where this topic of interracial dating even came from...I thought that BI was over a week old!
Reply to this
I think miseducatedchik is reflecting on a very common phrase that has echoed in our Black culture that “good Black men are hard to find” when she states: . .”There are still a lot of black women who think their only dating option is black men. Black women unfortunately are extremely insecure . . . So as black men branch out to other races many black women think their dating options are getting smaller.” [Being a Black man, I’ll admit this is even more a fact today than before especially among the younger generation with all the negative influences, vices, incarceration rates, and media propaganda and music influencing their behavior.]
If I’m write miseducatedchik was merely expressing the idea of all people seeing each other through God’s eyes and stepping over the barriers to love a mate of one’s choice – whether inter-racial or not. [Though, she may be stepping on eggshells in choosing her words.]
Reply to this
While I definitely understand the sentiment behing that small snippet of her statement..I'm sorry I just don't care to discuss or read of this type of discussion here. I have always gottent the impression via lurking that the board was more light-hearted and while sometimes serious topics/issues may arise I just don't see this board as a forum for this type of commentary...but hey that's just me...I come here for entertainment purposes...perhaps some come to disect the fiber and essence of human relations...

I'm been posting on this site since there was a link to click on and post and let me just say that when people come in here with the type of comments like miseducated-whatever her handle was, they are dealt with the same way it was dealt with today. If it carries on too long, Myra will have Spymaster/Amber ban the person who started the confusion to begin with. But usually the discussion goes on.

I am going to post this to you again...because you need to read it. You are confused. You don't even realize that your initial post assumed that you were in a position to "educate" black women when, in reality, you are as much a victim of the "miseducation" as anyone. If you really care about your daughter...you'll read what I'm saying and ask yourself some questions. God knows the last thing we need is another confused, self-hating, woman of color in the world--and your daughter WILL BE a woman of color.

You are simply regurgitating the lies that have been taught to you.
These lies help you feel better about yourself when you know that at your core, deep in that quiet place in your mind where you think no one else can see--you truly admire and envy the beauty of black women.
Your men have also confused you because they taught you--and the women who bore you, that they didn't find the black woman attractive so that you wouldn't notice when they disappeared to go find their black female victims and mistresses. The loved the black woman so much that they spent much of the 1600's-1900's lightening up the race with their indiscretions.
So you--and women like you, desperately cling to what you know to be falsehood because it is truly, all that you have to keep you alive.
Know this...every OUNCE of beauty that you believe you have, every curve, every full lip, every full lock of hair, every single OUNCE of your so-called beauty was donated to you from an African female ancestor. These are not the rantings of an "uneducated" woman, this is knowledge that can be verified and documented. You owe your existence to us. You owe everything that you hold "feminine", "alluring" and "beautiful" to us. The DNA of a black woman who looks just like most of the women on this board courses through your veins and the veins of all of your cohorts.
Poor, confused, silly, female. I feel sorry for you.

Hello Fam! Hope everyone's weekend was abso-freakin-lutely fantabulous! I'm working from home today, so I had to sneak in and try to catch up on comments.
My first guess reading the B.I. was Philip Michael Thomas. I remember reading about him and his sugar mamas...escorting can't be much different. My mother had the hugest crush on him back in the day. I spent 1/2 the day yesterday watching Miami Vice season 1 on Netflix. Neither he nor Don Johnson could act, but they were pretty, so that's all that matters! Anyone else notice how they used to gaze into each other's eyes? Hmmm...
Please Hammer don't hurt him!

When you are writing your "thesis" take out some time to speak with a highly respected anthropology scholar and ask them to talk to you about understanding the culture that you are seeking to study and "respecting" the people of it.
You don't "get it". You don't understand that the reason people were offended by your post is that you presumed some superior understanding and then purported to "teach" them/us things we already know and that you cannot--no matter how many black men you sleep with or bear children to--CANNOT ever understand on the level that we understand.
Your post was ethnocentric, arrogant, and, quite frankly, ignorant. It was ignorant because you didn't "educate" yourself about the possible reactions before posting it. You didn't KNOW. Ignorance is the absence of knowledge.
Don't run off and feel sorry for yourself--if you are sincere, take what people are saying and try to learn from it.

Im sorry "mis-educated" --Im not sure what planet you are on, but my ancestors were taken away and brought here--we were denied our basic rights one being an education. But we prevailed. I don't know of ANY other race (didn't you say you were Italian and Hispanic?) that was willing to sacrifice, fight, and risk lives for a basic right to read and be educated despite ALL the hardships. I don't know of ANY other minority who decided to take it upon themselves (including YOURS) to build with THEIR BARE hands institutions of higher education for OUR future: Tuskegee(*waves to all my fellow undergrad alum), Howard, Spelman, Morehouse, Grambling, Clark, Morris-Brown, Florida A&M, Alabama A&M, Alabama State, Lane, Jackson State, Delaware State, Albany State, Ft Valley, Kentucky State, Southern A&M, N.

yes and there are so many more! So many...I don't think there is a "Historically Latino/Hispanic College or Univeristy" is there? I don't think so. as Bayou Cutie put it (boy she was on fire eh?..lol), other minorities tend to think they are above us. As far as education is concerned, I volunteer at an elementary school and MANY of the latino/hispanic children are struggling with the basics. The teachers talk about how difficult it is because of the mobility of many of their families. I don't want to make a general statement, but the school's numbers prove it.. many have scores below normal (and below african american children). I attended a parent/teacher/volunteer "meet and greet" and out of the 40 students between the 2 classes in which I volunteer, about 20 are hispanic/latino and only 2 parents showed up..i repeat 2. For the rest of the students, ALL of their parents came. Also, my mother has been an educator for years in the public school system and there has been a recent increase in Latino/hispanic students...she's in administration now and she talks about how disheartening it is when they have to begin to LOOK and contact parents about latino/hispanic children who do not show up for school even after 2 weeks of school starting. yes that troll has it twisted...they have a LONG way to go. Build a college or university and then come back and talk to me...

Miseducatedchik- My username
I feel that the urban youth is not represented the rite way in all aspects of the urban culture. As you can see it says miseducated not uneducated, what we teach our children today about their ethnicity, life, culture and morals are lasting impression. Women as a whole need to make all men accountable for raising our children the rite way. (Again let me clarify myself and say some)
I firmly believe that the only way out of the ghetto is a strong sense of self, determination, family and an education.

You keep talking about "the ghetto". No I didn't grow up in "the ghet-to". I liked hanging in the "the ghet-to" because that's where my people were. There always seemed to be a lot of pride and proud people in "the ghet-to". Because "we" have adapted, made due with what we had and all the while wanted the best, made sacraficies and told our children to keep their heads up despite what was going on "the ghet-to" was home. I'm just saying this to you to ask will you not tell your children where and what you came from? Is your ghetto the same as "our" ghetto? Because there are some pride filled people in "our ghet-to" and they don't forget where and what they came from.
Yes, all the things you said will get you out of the ghetto but it will never change where you came from.
I would quote Donnie Hathaway lyrics to the Ghetto but there aren't any.

He updated his gigolo attire with the extra money. In the evenings, he was often draped in custom made Italian suits and expensive silk shirts and shoes.
Philip Michael Thomas or Steve Harvey

Steve Harvey? No I just can't see him being an escort. I thought escorts were well spoken and wordly? Steve does not represent either of these qualifications...LOL!!

Deanna and Sheknows, I was just asked what was sooo funny. And I gave them the "no this bitch didn't look". Just kidding.
NOT THE VELCRO-PADDED TOUPEE!!!!!!
He really thinks he's the answer to it all with his bottom lip hanging to his belt. Do not speak to him and not acknowledge Mrs. Harvey. When I saw this happen, I turned and order another drink. Give him a minute. His stank attitude is going to be his downfall. Mark my word.

I haven't heard anything from Steve Harvey since his show went into repeats until Bernie Mac died, then he was all sorts of talkative. Yeah, dude is not the business.

I was done until I kept receiving emails in regards to the thread. Sorry If I dont copy, paste everything into word, I just express my thoughts. I just don't understand why it is ok for people to be disrespectful on here when all I was stating was MY EXPERIENCE as a whole in MY COMMUNITY. I was not mocking people as you are me, I was not acting immature, like many of you are, or threating me like a couple of you have done thus far. This is my point people love knows no color, knows no bonds. Like I said before these are my thoughts. Ladies, that spoke with respect on the issue thank you, I will be using your text in my thesis, as for the others, I feel no need to get juenville with you. You just proved my point as educated as you can be is as foolish as you seem. Stay blessed. Have a great day all.

"Ladies, that spoke with respect on the issue thank you, I will be using your text in my thesis"
Umm, sweetie, that's plagiarism. Don't try to get an A off of the intelligent black women on this site. I'm pretty sure no one has or will give you permission to use their intellectual property in your weak @ss thesis! I can't speak for everyone, but I would never want my words associated with anything your illiterate tail would attempt to publish. SMDH
You have a lot of nerve coming in here purporting to be a woman of color empathizing with black women while spitting in our faces. My mother did not raise a fool, nor an uneducated self-loathing bytch. I have the utmost respect for myself and anyone else who earns it and I am well educated. As for your original topic of interracial dating, I have no problem with two people being in love and committing to one another...that's beautiful. I have a distinct dislike for anyone who puts down members of their own race and pretends that women/men of another race are superior to their own. I have two biracial siblings as well as a number of biracial relatives, whom I love dearly. To say interracial dating should not occur would say that I regret my place in this world as well as those whom I love.
I hope for your childrens' sake you will broaden your horizons and learn more about people in general, and black people specifically so that they grow up to be better educated than you. Your limited knowledge speaks volumes and I would hope you would take the opportunity to correct that before you begin your thesis because it would suck if you were unable to complete your degree. Then you would be one more uneducated woman in your community.

And here's where you are transparent: you said "I was done until I kept receiving emails in regards to the thread." So basically what you're telling us is that you put a check mark in the box that says "Subscribe to this entry" when you posted your original comment that sparked all of this drama so that you could see the responses. Then you try to play us by saying "I kept receiving emails" so that's why I returned. PAAA-LEEAAASSSEEE! Those of us who have been faithful to this board since the beginning see through the bull that is your constant rants.

Personally I am insulted by your posts! And I am sure many others are as well, which is why you are being unceremoniously shut down! Just because you lay up with a black man and have seen black women walking past you on the sidewalk does not equate to you knowing what black women need.
How can you come to this site and post this shyt and not expect to be jumped on! If you really were aware and knew what black women needed you would know that we don’t need your shi**y comments.
You may be educated (MAYBE) but it is clear that you lack what we black women have in abundance…..COMMON SENSE!

Our lesson for today: This is what happens when we tellthe truth, and those whom do not want to hear it or see it are around. Miseducated directed her comments towards Bayou Cutie and I because we were discussing Black Culture and self-determination in a thread above, funny thing about it is: WE WERE NOT EVEN DISCUSSING IR..... Go figure. Unknowingly, she has just clarified everything that we discussed in that thread. I believe that she just got hot in the collar by what we were saying and decided to make an attempt to throw the vibrations off by twisting the conversation way out of context. But thats okay, we just definately know now that PANACHEREPORT IS THE BEST AND BADDEST SITE AROUND

@miseducatedchik, I try to ignore people like you but you have made it hard. You picked the right name because you are miseducated. The only country in the world that tries to act like black women are not beautiful is the U.S. Black women are loved overseas. I can get more dates than you over there especially in Italy. You don't even have to have Beyonce and Halle looks. Trust me, black women aren't mad. That's your insecurity and fear of the black women.

It is a testament to black beauty, how women of nearly all other races want to change their appearance in some way to look like a black (while speaking negatively about black women.) If they are not risking skin cancer to tan as dark as possible, they want larger lips or bigger butts, they hate black women, but they want a black man, and all the while they think we are too stupid to see what they are doing. Since when does anyone want to look like what they say they hate? We as a race of people have hatred and injustice heaped on us daily, by people who turn around and steal everything they can from us and our culture and then try to say they invented it. I've noticed since I have been on this board someone is always coming on here using race to bait people, and it is sad, if you don't like this board don't come on here. Black people have been fighting off racial prejudice for centuries, and know it when they see it, and know exactly how to handle it!!!

Hello Everybody. Just let me go down my list and then I'm back to lurking.
LIT: I miss it when you're not here and I hope you never consider not posting for long periods of time. I know you know more than most of us that the trolls can be tedious and irritating as they always single you out and its not easy bypassing and ignoring their comments but we always know how it ends - the right boot to the azz never fails to get them gone.
Miseducated: there is nothing that I can add that has not alredy been said. Well maybe there is - know your audience before you start speaking. Instead of coming on this board where "education and self -love" is in abundance, try reading some of the posts and get the climate of the room before you start messing with the thermostat - You put your foot so far in your mouth on this one you can tie you shoes through your azz.
Grandma: how did I get in the corner and I wasn't even here? guilty and sentenced before the crime is committed - that's some minority report type shyt and I demand a recount! Roll those little balls again!
To the outlaws of PR: Not mentioning any names - and yes - you all know who you are - I miss you all!!! Hope I can get back in soon.

I can second the statement that it is only here in the US,that black women are treated as dirt(told we are not attractive etc).I can attest to that personally.I was never one to consider myself a true raven beauty until I went to Italy(even though my brother says I'm crazy,he's been fighting guys 4 years about his little tomboyish sister).I was at the Colliseum when an Asian gentleman walked up to me & told me he had to let me know how beautiful he thought I was(and we all know they have a thing about personal space,well he was all in mine)In Venice,I was told several times that they(the guys) were looking for me at the Planet the night before,and actually had a few waiting outside of the MonteCarlo(my hotel).While in Europe the women openly stare(hell was going to hit a 9 yr old in the throat the way she was gawking and looking me up and down{reminiscent of the 2 yr old in Bernie Mac's comedy skit,thank God for my cousin I was truly going to bust it to the white meat).
Lastly on this subject,for ALL women that think WE (Black Women) are envious,jealous,or whatever word you want to use,think about this civilization began in Africa(no they ORIGINALLY didn't look like Charlize Theron{eventhough she is a beautiful lady}.With that being said the original woman(EVE) was a black woman.The most beautiful woman to have ever lived according to forklore Cleopatra was a black woman.We have No NEED TO BE JEALOUS.It's just here in America with Madison AVE. telling you that the European woman is the one to be envied when in actuality it's the Black Woman.Please buy the ORINIGAL EVE,a DVD made by the Discovery Channel, it explains the migration out of Africa and traced through DNA the path of Eve.It explains how we are all from her (a Black Woman.
Now more importantly please tell me JENSEN ATWOOD is not gay.He's so cute.And what about the guy that plays Ricky?(both of these dudes are on Noah's Arc)I know Darryl is but come on Please say they all aren't gay

Hi All,
I think Shemar Moore is the high priced STD. Evidence: He did hit Hwood with a bang. Women of all ages and all races found/find him attractive, even when his teeth were less than perfect. That flaw never kept him off the lists of Hwood Hunks. He has an all around nice guy persona which definitely puts women at ease and allows him to put his Stud Skills to the test. Although the photo showed him as less than packing, being a grower is a probable option. I know for a fact that being well endowed does not equal being a good lover. Even if Shemar is average size, it is how he uses it that can dictate the pleasure factor.He definitely dresses much better than he used to and I do recall some discussion about him possibly having the disease that causes the blisters, Ouch!

Just because you nonblack women have a master in hoeology and a PhD sucking dick know this the black men you love are the ones real black women don't want. You see we want men, not boys, we don't have time for insecurity and any man that puts black women down is doing so because he can't handle or relate to one. The black men who are checking for you are the men who don’t want a strong women. They want a door mat and you fit the bill.

Hi all. Longtime lurker here. I have a question for the insiders and people in the industry. I live in a small city but I get approached alot about acting and modeling. I've finally garnered an interest and wanted to get some advice from the panache family about getting into acting the RIGHT way. Any info is welcomed.. Thanks in advance~

Darling, for modeling, if they ask you for money up front, leave, legitimate agenices don't ask for payment. For acting, go to a drama bookstore and get "contact" books. This will tell you who the real players are in the industry, not the cons and it also has their contact information.

First of all, I'm mad her mama let her go to the beach in a bikini like this at age 14 if her body was that developed. I was in a D-cup by the 8th Grade, but you betta believe my mom was not going to let me dress like an adult even if I could fill out some adult clothes. I was still a child!
Second, I could care less if she paid money to get what God gave me, from what I can see (& read) her attitude still stinks.

For every picture that she has posted to deny her plastic surgery to her nose, butt and breasts: A million other sites have posted pics that PROVE she has had it. There is even a website run by a plastic surgeon, where he tells exactly what procedure a star has had. He point out the tell tale signs, details how you can see the scars, and the after effects. I can not think of the site name but he busted out Kim K, Tyra Banks and Selma Hayek to name a few. This surgeon even has some of the stars original audition pics to support their transformations. It is very entertaining.

and didn't she admit to having plastic surgery earlier this year..she had lipo to get rid of the cellulite on her thighs..remember the Valentine's day calendar that was supposed to be for Reggie but then she leaked over the entire internet ??? Girly I need you to pick a story and stick to it... I also need you to agree to never where my dress out in public again *hands Khloe a doughnut... there's 2 more in itfor you if you can keep your sister inside for a week*

okay I just went to see the picture... um aren't her eyebrows arched in that picture?? I did not get my eyebrows arched at 14... I think she's 18 in that pic and it was probably taken about 2 weeks after her breast enlargement... You can tell by looking at the mom that family is definitely not anti-plastic surgery

thank you Deanna... you just made me enough money to go buy a dress... that chick told a mutual friend she was in a 4 and I was like ain't no damn way..maybe now because she has lost weight since she was on DWTS but I know she was in an 8 before...we were the same size.. whooo hooo!!!
Reply to this
correction... I'm naturally larger up top.. but I knew that heifer's hips weere as big as mine and I haven't been in a size 4 college... been an 8 since law school and so was she...she might be a 6 now because of DWTS.. 4 my ass
Reply to this
She's no darn 4! With all those silcone hips, she's an 8! I'm NATURALLY larger on bottom (see that, Kim, Natural) and I'm an 8 in pants due to hips and a**. In dresses, I can pull off a 6 due to being pear-shaped (smaller up top than on bottom).
Somebody smack this broad back into reality. She's trippin' on something for sure.

I know you didn't mean to be nice to her. Did you watch DWTS? There's no way she lost even 10 pounds with the standing she did half the time.
Reply to this
Yep! And judging from the practicing they showed before the performance, doesn't look like Kim even broke into a sweat.

Dayum!! Khloe needs to stay outta PR or that girl is going to have a HUGE complex to go with that HUGE head of hers...Lit, you are too funny!
Reply to this
Wow! I hate that Chyna...uuummm..Khloe won't be joining us anymore. I wanted to ask her how does she keep her penis from showing when she's in a bathing suit...when she tucks it does she use duct tape, scotch tape, or an ace bandage. Dang! My question will never be answered now.

I honestly don't think that she was 14 when that photo was taken.

It looks like she's since had the bridge of her nose narrowed, but that's just me.
Reply to this
i agree. she may have had implants, then had them removed as well. Did you see that this 'story' made it to the front page of ABC NEWS.com?

good Afternoon,
I see we have someone who is on some bullsh*t with us again. I hope everyone has a safe weekend.
O/T
I am considering taking my son out of school because of a situation that has occured they want to suspend my son for a total of 10 days. That is 10 days where he is not in school just at home like a bump on a log. he was suspended for a pushing incident with another student no blows were thrown and when the teacher asked them to stop they did. I know I would have to pick up a n djob to pay for private school, the cheapest one I have seen is aroudn $400/month but I am contemplating waiting until the end of the quarter to do so. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Reply to this
10 days is ridiculous for pushing, and you said that they stopped when he teacher told them to. What did they do to the other child? Have you thought about homeschooling? I'm sorry you and your son were put through this. I would definately complain to the school administration. You could take him out now while it is still fairly early and put him in another school until the end of the year, then possibly consider homeschooling or a Montessori School, if there are any still in existence.

Is there more to the incident that would warrant a 10 day suspension? Prior to removing your son from the school, please take full control of the situation by demanding a full account with the Principal, Teacher and Guidance Counselor. Ask for the School Guidelines for Suspension policies and ask that a review be conducted with the School board to determine the legitimacy of a 10 day suspension for a non violent offense. Be prepared to defend your stance with facts, noting your sons accomplishments and reasons a 10 day out of school suspension would be Extremenly detrimental to his education. Question your son thoroughly and honestly about what may have generated the behavior. Be prepared to learn maybe some not so pleasant facts, just in case.
Bottom line whether your son goes to a public or private institution there will be incidents that require discipline and making the most of your sons educational process. Unfortunat4ly if your son is a black male he has to learn that his mistakes will almost always be judged more harshly in either situation.
Good Luck

I am looking at Montessori schools as we speak. Thanks for responding.
Why are these "persons" coming on here cuasing disruption. Even though I lurk most days, I enjoy eveyone posting even when it is a difference of opinion. I just don't like it when we have someone is ignorant and uncouthed who comes on here spitting hate. If hate is what you come to speak on go to SR.com.
Thanks everyone have a great day, will go back t lurk mode via my phone.

Okay my ego has taken a severe beating.. my friend just emailed me a photo of Foxy Brown's birthday party and she is wearing my Herve Leger dress... first Kim K and now Foxy Brown I have no choice but to burn the dress in effigy (look it up mis educated... I don't get paid to teach) and now I have to question my own class and taste... I will be in the corner contemplating.... I was planning to show that dress off this weekend.. this is a sad sad day
Reply to this
Sad indeed, but are you sure Kim's and Foxy's were not Lerve Heger dresses? Don't sweat it - do them one better as I know only you can do - no time to get sad - we're still celebrating towards the birthday.........

*takes kleenex and cries* thank you all.. the thing is I consider myself to be so classy and have this great fashion sense and I consider these 2 ladies to be so not.. and well I mean they're just not classy *cries*

*holding Lit's hand*... You're class cannot be denied. We can see it in cyberspace. I know it's disheartening. It's like see a drug dealer driving your new Jag (that you worked soooo hard for) thru the hood. I know...*pats Lit's hand*... It has nothing to do with your taste. Wear the dress anyway. Everybody will forget about them once they see you in it..*looking around for the support team*....
Reply to this
I'm here - dry your eyes. BFF is right you can buy just about anything but you can't buy class - which we all know they have none of. It's true - you might see a hoody rat (Khloe's lingo) with a LV that she probably got at Sue Ling's and using it as a diaper bag. They bought not for style or class - just because it had a name.

Lit I think you should keep the dress.And then do your own "Who's hotter?" like People magazine..lol
