TERRENCE HOWARD COVERS ESSENCE
Thursday, March 15, 2007

In April’s issue, though Howard recently said he and his ex-wife are happy together (dismissing rumors of him seeing Naomi Campbell) - he stated in Essence’s interview that he had to let his ex-wife Lori go after all the cheating, and drunk nights he put her through before their divorce. Apparently, he tried to hook Lori back up with her high school sweetheart…
He also addressed dating in Hollywood & dating White Women as stated on Essence’s website:
He talks about breakup drama, celeb crushes (“I tried to talk to Halle for a bit. Didn’t call me back. Tried to talk to Gabrielle Union. Didn’t call me back, either.”), the kind of woman he prefers (“I’ve heard it said that I only date White women. The only woman I really love is my wife, and she happens to be White. Who gives a damn? A lot of Black women get upset. You know, the fact is, we are human beings.”).

Terrence is good looking; But not in that i would date him way…He’s a little off at times in more ways then one. I don’t think he is gay, just aware of his looks.The picture looks enhanced, his face has pock marks; but he is still good looking to me anyways.
I agree sometimes celebs piss me off with race/relationships; I have many friends in IR’S.
But one thing i can’t stand; is when they feel like they have to justify everything to everyone; after a while it seems like they aren’t even together except for looks.
Why can’t you do you? Why do you have to explain your reasons for doing so? Why do you have to but a whole race down; no matter the color? but especially when you the same color.
#49 Lmao!!! But I agree.

T.H. should just date Naomi. At least she could knock some dam since in his azz!..L.M.A.O..But naw, all jokes aside-Man, I cannot believe the words comming out of this brotha’s mouth? I think he really needs some intense counseling and therapy. And to use Black women “rejected” me, as a cop out to date white women is just plain stupid! If he wanna date Naomi, date her, if he wants to date a white women, do it, just be a real nigga about your business….Damn T.H.!

70. I think a lot of them do.
Black folks, since our people arrived in this country, have seen white women being put on pedestals and them being the standard of beauty.
Black men saw these white girls in pornos, seen the big time, white rich men with white girls on their arms, and they see them all over tv. So I understand why a lot of these brothers lust after white girls or anything close to them(i.e. spanish, asian, etc). They’ve saw and been told all their life that we Black women aren’t beautiful.
Brothers know that this is wrong in a sense and to me are, for a lack of a better word, ashamed of this attraction cause it is very taboo to say you don’t “like black” and you are black . That’s why fools like him make up excuses (black women are this and that) so they feel like they’ve got good reason to lust and go after white women.
If more brothers admitted that they just don’t find black women physically attractive and stop putting us down I would respect them more. Cause attitudes, crazy, overweight, arrogance and other foolish stereotypes about black women I hear coming out these ignorant brothers mouths, don’t discriminate!
It’s not fair to judge a demographic of people and you haven’t even experienced another demographic fully.

#78….And the rest of you. It appears that the majority of Black women (at least on this board) have NO CLUE what goes on in the minds of Black men.
For example #78’s post was mostly incorrect!
Instead of coming to short-sighted and wrong-headed conclusions for ‘this and that’, I suggest that you simply ASK some brothers…even on this and other boards.

No dumb ass those are his real eyes.
Who cares if he’s married to a white woman, if other black women share as much hatred as they apparently do for Terrance then why should he have to be married to one (yes I am a black woman). He does not have to marry a black woman to be black. Its 2007 people! Not 1865.

I love Terrence Howard as an actor. I think he has a Marlon Brando quality about him.
I think Terrence is just “going through” as we say. He’s trying to figure out who he is as a man, an actor, etc. and he is confused. Not to mention the fact that his mother is battling cancer!!! Today is the 3rd anniversary of my grandfather’s passing from colon cancer and I still remember the day like it was yesterday and want to cry!! We miss him dearly!! So I can only imagine what Terrence is going through for his mother.
I don’t like the way he has treated his wife…I don’t care what race she is. Wrong is wrong!!! She sounds like a good woman who loved him enough to put up with him and all his ‘craziness’ all these years. If they are meant to be together, then hopefully they can work things out and be a family. If not, I hope he REALLY let’s her go this time so she can be happy and I hope Terrence gets himself together so God can send him his true soul mate.

81. I have asked a lot of brothers actually. I’m in college and we have this discussion a lot in certain classes and others have agreed that this may be true.
Just a lot of brother’s aren’t conscience of their attraction. Why do you think a lot of brothers like lighter skinned women?
And you can’t say it’s most incorrect if you can’t disprove my opinon on the situation.

I NEVER FOUND HIM ATTRACTIVE TO BEGIN WITH. I FOUND HIS CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE “THE BEST MAN” SEDUCTIVE AS HELL. I WOULD SAY I’M OVER THE BLACK MAN/WHITE WOMAN THING BUT I WAS NEVER ON IT. I COULD CARE LESS WHO A LOT OF OUR MEN DATE. DO YOU. I JUST FIND IT A LITTLE EMBARASSING TO BLACK WOMEN WHEN THEY PARADE THEM AROUND ACTING LIKE THE DON’T HAVE ANY LOVE FOR THE BLACK WOMAN IN GENERAL. THERE’S PLENTY OF BLACK MEN THAT I PAS UP ON THE REGULAR. IF THEY BECAME FAMOUS AND GOT CASPER TOMORROW, I WOULDN’T GIVE A HOT DAMN. AND I DON’T HONESTLY SEE MYSELF ENDING UP WITH A BLACK MAN ANYWAY.

Black women are beautiful, smart and sexy!
They are not hung up on Black men dating white women.
Hell, the crap that some wonderful sistas go through repeatedly with disrespectful brothas will probably lead them to start tipping more in a garden of white lilies. Just don’t go for no broke ass backup dancers!
Black women (and I think women in general) usually are committed to one man and go through hell and back to make it work once they are fixed on that special one. But when the final straw comes, which often takes a lot, that’s it. They are done with the shit. That’s when the take no shit attitude kicks in because they sometimes feel that they put too much into making the shit work and realize the level of reciprocity was never there and refuse to deal with that again. So, they form a checklist of what they won’t take, as opposed to being “blind” to love.
Brothas who date white, asian, hispanic, etc. women because they feel black women have the three A’s, Anger, Arrogance, and Attitude, need to realize this is probably (and most likely) the result of continued disrespectful treatment by multiple brothas. A lot of Black men are NOT taught to respect women and their first relations tend to be women of similar race.
Let’s get real, white women are not as passive as portrayed either. They are not all a like, so I don’t want to sound stereotypical. But ain’t it funny, after being so smiley nice Mary Ann White Gurl, when they decide it’s time to go, they do clean the brothas’ clocks, considering what they brought to the relationships in terms of $$$$$ that the same brothas accuse sistas of being golddiggers over. (O.J., Montel, Lionel, Kobe’s white chic wanted her payday, and on and on).
Also, damn near everybody of African descent throughout the Americas can trace some non-African blood somewhere in their family tree. We need to stop acting like it makes us special, since most of us today are not in contact with any aspect of this foreign, I mean, exotic, I mean other blood. White people will deny through their teeth that they have anything other than white ancestry, although we know DNA tests will finally tell a completely different story. Why in the hell do you think that you only hear and read about Black folks doing those genealogy tests.
I’m Black and I’m proud damnit! And if you identify biracial, mixed, other, Asian, Hispanic, White you should be proud too!

Love knows no color. I worked in the Santa Monica and Venice areas of So. Cal for 20yrs., and there’s alot of race mixing. You sisters and brothers who like the “yellow” people better recognize: Somewhere in there recent past is a parent who is not directly out of Nigeria.
I forgot which one it is, but one of Terrence’s parents is white, Haile’s mom is white. What, are they just supposed to forget about that part of their heritage? You folks better live and forget the dumb shit. Bush is trying take everything away from everybody but the top 1%, and we trip off of little shit!

Terrence Howard is a closet HOMO who married that mess of a wife to be his beard!! If he loved her, they wouldn’t have divorced twice and he wouldn’t be dating women all over the place.
terrence wants DICKS, not chicks!! Naiomi was a front.
These black men need to stop bashing black women.
I am starting a HIT LIST with IGNORANT black males with complexes and when they show their colors, I will remember to boycott their projeects.
I don’t care who Terrence is married to, but I care that he decides for no apparent reason to talk down on black females. That HomoCreep Taye Diggs will feel the wrath of Black women soon enough. Wesley already got his comeupins… These CLOWNS need to understand that we MAKETH and we will damn well TAKETH away!!
Did y’all notice that as soon as BLACK men gain power in sports or in Hollywood, their tongues gets loose then they start badmouthing black females?
Ironic that Bill Maher, Robby DeNiro, Oliver Stone, George Lucas, Gabriel Aubrey, etc don’t go around bad mouthing white women when they date black females..
I love how they marry half these broke ass groupies, then take ish about there not being any black women for them to date.. LOL
Meanwhile, Black women are taking over the college campuses, 3 to 1 and in some cases 4 to 1. What are the excuses now??
I don’t care if they like white women, but don’t bash us to get an excuse for your choices.
IT is SAD what these black men do - just sad!!
I feel really hurt about this!

Ok, i’ve read enough–To the posters that keep calling Black women insecure, jealous and all this other negative shyt, yall are the dumbest black and “other X” Mutha#uckas on the planet.
This conversation hasn’t come up b/c blck women want the dark meat LEFTOVERS such as Terence/Tiki/Tiger.
This conversation has arisen for the millionth time b/c so-called negroes like this metrosexual DL fag Terence consistently come outta there mouth DOWNING black women iN PUBLIC!
Enough is enough! I’m sick of Black women being at the bottom of the G%DDAM food chain.
That means we have to empower ourselves and stop depending on some of these insensitive, SELFISH sons of b!tches to mate with us, marry us, compliment us.
I HAVE YET to hear any other race of “MEN” talk shyt about their own MOTHER the way black men talk Shyt about black women.
So again, I say go duck in a corner and F#ck off to the disillusioned assholes on here who completely miss the mark–the REAL point.

I’ve seen Terrence Howard in person many of times. He lives near the Plymouth Meeting Mall in Pennsylvania not far from Philly. He sometimes frequent the Movie Theater there as well. Well, trust me he looks better on this Essence magazine. When you see him in person there is nothing striking about him. I am 5″7 he is about 5″8. He is not tall.

CAFF,
I think the sistas are not necessarily insecure, but hate the fact that T.H. and others attempt to stereotype Black women, and says by default they have no other choice but to date white women. I think the best thing is not for them to get their hackles in bunch, but merely ignore these men. But, by Black men putting stuff like that out there, continues to foster a contradictory stereotype of Black women as bitchy mad women. In truth, sisters are some lovin’ and supportivecreatures seeking love in return…from black men. We have to remember, those that feel ill will have experienced some less than positive experiences with brothers.
Caff, I gotta agree with you on a level regarding the chic that bleaches her face. But it is deeper than that. Visually, some aspect of Whiteness is reaffirmed everyday on television and in the media. Look at the proliferation of Black women wearin’ contacts and extendo hair and wigs. Let’s not mention the garrish elastic surgery and skin lightening that seems to be taking hold of some black female celebs even AFTER they made it big with their ‘old’ Black faces. Yes, they are free to do what they want, but shit, they need to be workin’ on the inside. They have been brainwashed into saying “Oh it just let’s me change my style.” or “Everybody in Hollywood is doing it, even white girls.” But the truth is the black women with the hair thing aren’t in Hollywood and outside of that group, white women are not doing all that. We need to have a greater sense of pride in our Blackness with all the “hilarity” with how the mix of genes come out. We put down dark women and those with no visible trace of European ancestry as ugly, even when they’ve shown talent in face of an onslaught of faked out, no talent so called beauties (ex. Fantasia vs. Spear Britney!).
Black women are not getting the respect they deserve and quite naturally are upset. However, the stats show that for the Black race, sisters are holdin’ it down…if alone.

Caff, no race insecurities here. I could care less who black men date. Who they date doesn’t concern my life whatsoever.
Anyway, I don’t know why some black men feel every sistah is indignant when it comes to IR relations - some are, some aren’t. Whateva. I think sistahs get tired of being blamed for why black men date outside their race. We are sick and tired of being put down. People who generalize are ignorant. Just like someone else said - if that’s your thing, do it, but quit using black women as an excuse. This crap about black women are this and black women are that is bogus. Next!!!

I agree. As strong and powerful as us black women are, we are still women. And need to feel that we are beautiful…that’s just in our nature.
Like I said before, we aren’t the standard. That’s why we do the things we do to ourselves cosmestically like hair extentions, perms, etc to keep up with what we assume men like.
So when we see Black men agree with that standard it touches that insecurity and to some of us, it says that we aren’t beautiful. It’s a sadness we have that eventually turns to anger. Not for all of us, but a great number.
That’s just being real. I mean it’s cool to want to get along and be “we are the world” with these other folks, but we need to fix this self-hate and unacceptance of each other first. It’s hurting our race. It really saddens me.

Truthie and Megan,
Speak!! What do we do? In fustration we result to name callin’; it’s easy, get’s a laugh and distorts/changes the issue. But the issues remains unresolved.
Black men a) don’t care and/or b) don’t realize the damage they sometimes inflict not just on a person, but their entire future approach to life. We definitely need to be encouraging and move beyond the fake ass standard of white woman beauty that’s been around forever. It seems that in the late sixties and seventies we were moving towards this “Black is beautiful” concept (and it still is!), but they got over on us, I think when they introduced the gheri curl. Sounds silly, but once they started telling people that they could have “bouncy” curls, it seemed like the pendulum started swinging back. Hey, Black people should enjoy a variety of “looks” and people should love, date and f#@k who the f#@k they want. But it is an extreme disservice to sisters to be classified as Black B#$%es, when Black men cheat and play around on them. This “papa was a rolling stone” phenom is still going on.
Ironically, Black women have curves, bumps and grooves, but it was originally the White girls getting fatty poon poon lips, tits, and asses. You were there before credit went to Ms. JLo. So, sisters whether acknowledged or not, you have been the inspiration for Sally Ann White.

Wow. Leave it to good old Terrence to say something to turn this into a race issue.
I don’t think most Black women care when a Black man dates a white, asian, or latino woman. I think BW become offended when BM act like they have something “better”. If you as a BM want a white woman and you love her, so be it, but you don’t have to downgrade the women of your own race in the process!!!
It’s sad b/c all of this is the remnants of the treatment our ancestors received during slavery. Slavery wounded us as a people and we have yet to recover. We’re still dealing with the residue. We’re never going to get anywhere as a race economically, socially, or politically as long as we continue to devour each other and look to other races(i.e. whites) to validate us.
Black Labor, White Wealth by Dr. Claude Anderson is an excellent book on the history of Blacks economic status in this country and how we came to be where we are as a people.

Maybe it’s about falling in love with someone no matter the color of their skin! Does it really matter? I dont think TH is cute at all…In fact I dont see his talent. Maybe that is what he prefers (Women of other races)! I am Jamaican and I can care less who black men date! If I like him Black or White ,yellow, purple. Then I just like him! It’s not a crime. Falling in love is all about who treats you right, who makes you cry for the right reasons and not the wrong. Who listen to your every word even if they dont always understand, someone who can show you the greatest love you have ever known. Last time I checked you didn’t have to be a certain race to do that.

Interesting topic, but the fact is we all live in a society made to make us feel insecure. There isn’t a person alive without at least one insecurity. So coming down on anyone for finding another human being who loves them for them because it makes YOU feel insecure is petty. If seeing a black man with a white woman triggers some deep down insecurity, then perhaps you should find the closest asian-owned beauty supply store and indulge in some hydroquinne. Not fitting the standard image of what’s attractive is someting we all have to deal with. BTW, 15 I hope you were joking because you need to take a long ass look at lil kim and reavaluate your priorities.

And from what I heard some Africans were purple. I have seen some examples and to me they just have very dark skin. Maybe I shouldn’t have directly said it like that. My Ethnic Background is African-Jamaican and whatever else is in my Blood line. I wouldn’t call myself just black. Just like some races wouldn’t classify themselves like everyone else would exp( Asians). I have known alot of ppl of different races who mos def tell you their back ground. I guess it’s apart of who some of us are. Growing up Everyone in school would claim their Great Grandmother was from the South (Alabama or Virginia .exc). I guess it doesn’t really matter as long as you aren’t ashamed of who you are.

Terrance Howard…I love this man. I been watching him since ‘Sparks’ on BET. I’ve met him personally, and I am a black woman. He is the nicest, most humble man I ever met. He is so breathtaking in person. Also, he is one of the few black men that I believe did not fall into that Hollywood stigma of running to the other race just because of status. I know for a fact that he adores black women too. Now, on the other hand, Taye Diggs…fraudulent, self-hating on yo own race mutha’…

@119 I totally agree. Black women need to open their eyes and realize what’s really going on. Don’t feed into that BS. Just because one man (regardless of color) feels that you are not his cup of tea, 10 more will. As I said before, Black men are not the Second Coming. Don’t limit yourself, you got options too.
As for Terrence, he could’ve put himself on the cover of Cosmo with those statements, LOL

Than maybe next time he should say what he means because he didn’t say some or many,he generalized his statement.

I guess bottom line is that this IR dating/marrying thing is not going anywhere, whether you agree with it or not… People are gonna date who they want to date… People can get mad, but what good is it doing??? The only thing getting mad accomplishes, is making you all worked up and disappointed, and for what??? Do you honestly think that cussing and fussing and putting one another down is gonna make these people stop doing what they are doing???
I say let folks date who they want to, they are gonna do it anyway. As long as you have a strong black or whatever race, man or woman in your life, why should you care who Terrence or any other famous or non-famous black person dates??? I’m single but I know God has a strong black man out there for me, so I don’t care about these other folks…
I also co-sign with #109, when are we gonna love ourselves enough to not let this sort of thing bother us???

Damn I missed it, I’ve been on this site off and on all day while at work-soon as I leave yall posted something that really sparked some interesting dialogue. Just my luck-
Anyhow, my opinion on the subject is date who you want, just leave me the hell out of it. I don’t get mad or jealous @ a black man dating a white woman.
But what I do have a problem with is black men & the white women who date them that act like I’m upset that they are together. I have enough real life shit to be concerned with like bills, my family, keeping my job. Shit their being together doesn’t affect my day-to-day life in any way. More power to them-
You see it all the time they look at you all prepared for you to have some reaction to them being together. You would swear up and down that they think they took the last black man alive! Hell terrance howard aint the last piece of black dick-there’s plenty black men out here for us black women.
I’m a black woman and the only love I’ve known from a man has been a black man, so hell I aint mad at you for wanting to experience what I have had all my life. My daddy, brothers, uncles, son, x-boyfriends, husband etc. are all black men! Hello-I am not, have not, and will not ever be deprived of love from a black man, there are plenty of brothers who love black women without apology.
I guess many of you missed the point about terrance cheating on his beautiful, devoted, white wife. This has very little to do with race and more to do with terrance’s own personal deamons.

Caff– Since when does being passionate about an issue mean I’m smoking something?
You don’t know me you bloody anus, so how do you figure I have race issues?
Seriously– Like I said, I knew a stupid punkass “brotha” like you would come at me w/ some backwards logic like u did.
I could give ten sh!ts about who you “brothas” choose to mate with–just quit making excuses for it by bringing black women down in the process.
I MYSELF am in a great relationship with a WHITE man.
Funny enough, its JEALOUS black “men” like YOU who give me disgusted, dirty looks when I’m in public with him.
I see you like to call women B!tches too– that explains everything about your ignorant ass, cuz you CAME from one.

@89 See that’s the same ignorant B.S,the black community can do w/o! How can you say you’ll likely not end up with a Brotha,but in the same breath,berate fellow blk ppl,who exclaim their identity:being everything other than black?
Would not your children be mixed,if that were the case..would not your apparent ‘Pro-blackness’,leave them with a loss of identity,and feelings of self-reproach?..Consequently what many ‘blk’ kids are experiencing today;being not blk enough for the blk kids,nor white enough for the white ones,evidenced by many, such as Mariah Carey…and we all know how crazy that broad is!

People, you can pounder about “Its 2007 and all that lil mess you talking,” just know that race/color issue isn’t going anywhere.It will ALWAYS be an issue.It’s life!Deal with it.It won’t go away.Why haven’t there been a black president than if its 2007,you know what I mean?So I can say its 2007 and we still seeing no change.Whoa!Big deal right?Pshhh.The black community issue is Lack of Self-Love and Self-Respect.Just because they turned you down Terrence thats them,not black women.You got issues honey, solve them chile.

as much as i love black women i hope i don’t ever meet some of the ones who have commented negatively on this thread…their ignorance and insults speak volumes to their character as a person
my advise to these women: you have one life to live - choose or loose!
