I watched, It was great!
I think a question should be possed like>>> For plenty years women of many back grounds including women from African countries, when looking for a male prospect, they look at how can this man provide for a new family, yes they looked at material wealth. Now in the hood that is seen as being a gold digger, something negative!!!! So LOL!!! What is so wrong with wantning a better partnership. BM/ BW need to stop severely bashing each other and making these stereotypes of ourselves. So can we also bring back that traditional requirement for a union, plz!!!
I do not know what to say...I think they were feeling like the black women on essense blog when they found out that hot actor was married to a white woman...lol! Also perhaps he was one of the hot ones...
Some people stare at couples when they do not match in attractiveness as well... However...he is super hot so I wonder if that could be a factor as well....LOL! Women are strange but what is funny you never hear white men vocalizing their disgust of white women as black men. There are plenty gold digger white women out there but rarely you hear white men saying white women are gold diggers...lol! crazy though. Who would willingly marry someonee with nothing positive happening in their life, ?? Black women, lol, so come again with gold digger talk...
I had a discussion with family about homosexuality and that is why I used it there. I know this forum is not for that so it makes no sense to even go more into it.
LOL! okay! All I am saying is when it comes to those situations of dysfunction I will always be "????" in my head when it comes to both situations. I cannot tell people who does not want to do the traditional thing to do it, this is about the family above. It is up to them to grow out of it or just do it. However I refuse to have all black people viewed in that way. There needs to be more of the opposite of that on tv, in the media, to balance it out.
@GetMeOutofBlackistan @MaxineI understand...This is all the reason why Christelyn needs to be louder each day since she is in the public realm and we here have an obligation as well. I am not going to be stereotyped, I just think as people get to know me they realize that I am not a stereotype.
okay yes I can daance...lol and can do a booty shake that does no mean a thing..lol!
I know this video is ridiculous and the story is a little crazy...I totally agree! however some remarks are crazy as well...I am sorry but all the crazy Black people can be on tv but there needs to be more the regular old doing good black people on tv with out all the drama.
I know there are studies out there and people are trying to normalize homosexuallity. I for one am not judging anyone or hatng anyone I, my opinion, which belongs to me, just think it is dysfunctional, regardless of what you say. Look at the definition of dysfuntional. I believe there are all types of people in the world, some might have some abnormalities, using different parts of the brain than others. Perhaps I might have some to myself but those things make us all different. At the end of the day somethings are just logical and with time, we realized that the human race can have defects which is not the norm like conjoined twins.
Call it what you will...
There really nEEEEEEDDDDDs to be more positive, forget positive, just normal, down to earth, I just do not know how to describe it. Just more of that type of Black people out in the spot light. It is not so much about their chose of life style it is being soooooo proud of it! Just live it as crazy as it may seem. It seems like the negative perceptions of both Black and White people is taking over the media, "Jersy shore, all the red neck shows, Love and basketall Atlanta, etc" There is no lower any community can go at this point.
I am not even going to watch the clipping....
LOL!!! You must be new!:-D...lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This blog is for those that think there is another way, besides the lunatic antics taking place which is mentioned above.
It is for many that think there is a right way to do somethings.
... It is dysfunctional and weird!!!
I am sorry but who are we to look down on their life style! As stupid as it may seem they are incharge of their destiny. However I think there is a need for a balance in black perceptions and very strong perceptions on different sides. Not all Black people choose this life. And this is why we must push even more for Christleyn to do well!!! I believe as a public figure she represents a different BW from even Michele Obama. I think It is important to realize not every BW will choose the route many on here will choose!
I do not want to be the one to say DAaaaH!!!...However there are many dysfunctional things that happen in this world!!! Unlike many who think a gay marriage should be normalize, hence the new comedy coming called, "The new Normal". This is the same. In the Black community it is considered normal but it is dysfunctional as hell, same with gay marriages, polygamy...etc. What is not part of the norm is dysfunctional... I do not know if a discussion can change that. There are women out there that think if there is no drama in there life, they will die of boredom...lol...That is there drama. Everyone around them want more for them but they want the drama. The best we can do for them is expose them to another option, which is what this whole website is about. Through the articles about love and interracial experiences. If they do not like seeing BW/ WW/ rainbeau relationships well, move on to the next.
I do not get the surprise in the article though. There are many things we might think are nasty but it is not me to judge and look down on others especially like all the dysfunctional thinks I mentioned above. That is just my opinion!
The fact that most women on here might end up having biracial daughters...I wonder if the skin color is the real issue and all that comes with it? There will be times where coming together with women similar to yourself is important, example dark skin black women, brown skin women and light skin women, though we are all "black" we all have different issues and treated differently in the Black community. I think we just group with who we have things in common with. Example I want to know how to do my hair I look at women on youtube that look like me in complexion and see what type of hair they have and decide if that is what I want. It is not that plain cut anymore, just like the "race" check box is not that clear cut anymore. There will be biracial kids being raised here and they are neither black or white!
@VictoriaAntoine @oneofthegirls Black love is an American thing. African women who can, date out more than American Black women so, if they want black love they can get it there but they will still be seeing mix relationships coming out from there.
@toichennellI wonder what was Essence true intensions of the article? I think they were successful!!!! Bravo!!!!!! Essence!!!!!! great job, to bring all the lonely troubled BW who date BM only to say something! To prove a point that, I think I should comment to show not all Black women are like that!....I think they want to show a stereotype that all Black women are this.
I think you wrote that well! It is up to the individual to know their value. Society can think what they want but when I pass by full of confidence with someone into me and they are not black, they will realize the studies do not relate to all! People feel that way bc of personal experience and how they respond to revolutions in society.
I think everything you expressed about BW is nothing new to me and many people here. We know this and I think our job to society is to show it is not true change the perception. Whether it is just a few. So I do not worry about it really it. We must know the perceptions and be proud about who you date. I will laugh and feel sorry at all who need a psychologist to deal with their color issues.
