DJIMON HOUNSOU FOR CALVIN KLEIN
Thursday, July 19, 2007
Check out Kimora’s man, Djimon Hounson in the new Calvin Klein Steel underwear campaign. The shots were reportedly taken in the Hollywood Hills.
The Oscar-nominee told the New York Post:
“I regularly watch how much, when and what I eat. It really becomes a daily journey. You just have to do it - get up, eat something, go to the gym - so you can burn as much as you can and look lean. It’s pretty challenging.” [SOURCE]
He did a good job, because he looks good.

This man is so sexy-has always been from day one-
I’m going to try and be optimistic but something tells me that all of the posts won’t be as flattering-CL prove me wrong please
Not saying that everyone has to agree that he is attractive that is of course one’s opinion, what I am curious to see if some comments will be derogatory.

Calvin Klein is featuring a Black Man in their ad’s.
That’s incredible.
People should consider THAT, before making Racist dumb comments about The Brother’s Skin Tone.

Sexy is more of an aura than a person’s actual appearance- (I also consider him attractive as well)
I’ll be the first to admit I’m a bit ethnocentric-anything or anyone that reminds me of Africa makes my chest swell-you can’t deny our beauty-the same things white america claim they deplore (dark skin, big lips, big noses, chiseled faces, big butts, & hips etc) they are intrigued by-white men and women are fascinated by us-& we all know a white woman would knock us over for a piece of this man-
Some Black folks don’t even recognize the power of their beauty-it’s no mistake they chose this man for their add-he is definitelly a walking fantasy
purrrrrfffeeecccctttioon-alright kitty settle down:)

He’s got a great physique, though not quite my cup of tea.
I’m surprised Calvin Klein used him–it’s about time. Now if only he’d use more black runway models, maybe I’d consider purchasing his products….

DAMN YOU AINT SLAVES NO MO AND SOME OF YALL STILL CARRYINT OUT MASTERS PLAN
DIVIDE AND CONQUER-
SOME OF YALL CAN’T BE UP ON YOUR AFRICAN/AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY-
SOME OF YOU ARE SO DISPLACED AND BAMBOOZLED THAT ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES YOUR TRUE AFRICAN HERITAGE YOU MOCK OR RIDICULE-& I KNOW YALL DON’T CARE WHAT I THINK YOU SHOULDN’T BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED FOR THE SELF-HATRED YOU CONVEY TO OTHERS WHEN YOU MAKE -RACIST- STATEMENTS IN REGARDS TO THIS MAN’S COMPLEXION
WHAT MAKES YOU ANY BETTER THAN THE KLU KLUX KLAN OR THE SLAVE OWNERS? TO ME YOU ARE ONE IN THE SAME-WORDS LIKE THOSE SCARRED MANY OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND FOR YOU TO USE THEM EVEN IN A JOKING MANNER IS A DISGRACE TO EVERY PERSON WHO FOUGHT FOR US TO HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS AND EQUAL TREATMENT-ESPECIALLY AFRICANS & AFRICAN-AMERICANS-YOU ARE TRULY A POOR REPRESENTATION OF OUR RACE
I KNOW YOUR BLACK BECAUSE WE ARE USUALLY THE BIGGEST CULPRIT OF RACISM-
@CLIFF & BASHY BOO-NO PUN INTENDED BUT SOMEONE SHOULD PULL YOUR COAT TAIL

I don’t care what people say…i am a light skinned female who happens to think that there is nothing sexier than seeing a strong, dark skinned man. No hate against the light skinned brothas but i prefer my coffee strong and black. And honestly it is not about the skin color but the aura of the person that’s in that skin.
He looks strong, confident and comfortable with himself. That goes beyond color and physical fitness. But hey i think Seal is sexy because that’s what he projects outwardly and they both seem to be beautiful people.

He is a gorgeous man, I hate that the most beautiful of our men insist on dating light/or mixed women- Or women who are of another race, but it is what it is. How interesting is it that black men are so set on dating women that do not look like their mothers? Where is our sense of family, the desire to continue our family lines?
I can’t wait until black people start loving themselves.

It’s not just Djimon’s smooth, silky, “I eat right” skin and his amazingly sculpted body along with that breath taking smile that makes him so so magically delicious - although all of that is…umph!!! It’s his regalness. It’s the way he stands and walks and speaks and just…ooh! He’s the type of man that will keep you watching and wondering “what’s on his mind?” I watch this man and get lost in my thoughts of possibilities. Now that’s SUPER sexy! Take notes fellas, this is how you get it done!!
And all of you young sisters that can’t appreciate Djimon’s undeniable beauty - keep living, you’ll see.

what I said didn’t describe you, no need to get your panties in a bunch.
I have nothing against men his compexion, my first boyfriend was a dark skinned man. The guy I dated for a brief stint not too long ago was a black guyanese man Djimon’s complexion & I think ole boy is gorgeous. Djimon’s body is AMAZING. The photography is FANTASTIC. He’s a great actor. But not attractive to me, two tears in a bucket….

Djimon is one handsome specimen. Though he may not fit the typical description of what many deem attractive, there is no doubt this man oozes SEEXXXY. The way he carries himself, his persona, his talent, and not too mention his sculpted mandingo body (lol) all contribute to his sexiness.

complexndope: I’m not trying to pick a fight with you, but I find your statement is offensive.
Why in the world would a black woman saying that a black man is attractive be considered Politically Correct ? ??
What is wrong with a Black Woman being attracted to a Black Man ???
Is it because he’s African
or
Is it because he’s dark skinned,
that you feel people are going out of their way to offer kudos.

…..My point is (And I’m sure you know this) is that African Men/Woman and/or Dark Skinned Men or Woman are Just as Beautiful as any of the other hues of Blackness.
Should We (As a People) go out of our way to recognize Beauty in our Race ?
I think so.
because,
as a race, we were taught to think that Black=Ugly…
That’s why we should Rejoice when a member of our tribe appears on mainstream magazines.
Doesn’t having Djimon Hounsou appear in a Calvin Klein ad make you feel proud.

No disrespect, but, APPARENTLY. You didn’t read my latest statement about the men I have dated. Then CLEARLY you would see, that I have no problem with men his complexion nor with Africans. (Dated one also.). I said HE! (as in singular, as in Djimon) is not attractive and that often, as #81 also stated people tend to give kudos just to appear black empowered, especially on a site where you get jumped on for not appearing to be such.
I gave kudos to his acting, to his body, to those amazing photos up there. Don’t sit there & say I’m not proud. Don’t insinuate me not thinking black men are beautiful, etc & so on.

I realy wasn’t speaking about Djimon in general…I had an issue with the statement itself.

In defense of complexndope, I do not think that she was being offensive in her statements. Though she does not personally think Djimon is sexy doesnt mean she finds all dark skin men attractive. Her preference is her preference and all we can do is respect it…on another note, when can we as black people get over this colorism issue? i find it funny yet disturbing when black people say he/she is handsome/pretty for “a dark skin person” as it is an anomaly to find someone who is both dark and attractive. Seriously we need to get over this issue (***disclaimer: I know the colorism issue is not specific to Black people***)

Much respect to Damon and CK for putting together a very striking, yet classy photospread.
Hopefully, this is the beginning of an ‘additional career’ (serious modeling) for Damon. Looks great, especially for his age: 43yrs old.
Tyson Beckford ‘kicked the door down’. Damon, following, will ‘represent’ just as well. A very classy, composed, and articulate African brother.

I SO AGREE WITH YOU, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID EARLIER, I’VE READ A FEW ARTICLES AND LISTENED TO SOME OF THE THINGS HE HAD TO SAY, AND I (MY OPINION) DETECTED SOME ISSUES WITH THIS COLOR/RACE THERE!
AND USUALLY WHEN PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES ABOUT THEIR RACE, YOU WON’T EVER SEE THEM WITH SOMEONE THAT LOOK LIKE THEM.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, AND THAT WHY I DON’T KISS NO ONE ASS! ESPECIALLY THE DON CHEADLES, VING RHAMES, AND NOW HIS ASS, WHO GET ACCLAIM FROM BLACK FEMALE FANS, AND THEY MARRY THE LIGHTEST BLACK WOMAN THEY CAN FIND, OR JUST SWITCH RACES PERIOD. I’M NOT AGAINST SOMEONE MARRYING OUT OF THEIR RACE (PERSONAL CHOICE), BUT WHEN YOU DELIBERATELY PICK ANOTHER RACE CAUSE YOU THINK IT’S BETTER THAN YOUR OWN, THEN THAT’S WHERE THE PROBLEM COMES IN. SELF HATE IS A BITCH, AND ALOT OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING CELEBS SUFFER FROM THIS PROBLEM.
I’M DEFINITELY NOT CRITICIZING THE SISTERS ON HERE WHO ARE GIVING THEIR OPINION THAT THIS MAN IS A GOOD LOOKING MAN, BUT I SWEAR, ALL THE MEN THAT GET THEIR CHECKS BECAUSE BLACK WOMEN GO SEE THEIR MOVIES AND SUPPORT THEM, CAN KISS MY ASS. SOME MEN ARE MORE OPEN ABOUT THEIR PREFERENCE VERBALLY LIKE WESLEY SNIPES, AND THEN THERE’S THE SNEAKY ONES THAT JUST SAY IT WITH THEIR PARTNERS SKIN COMPLEXION.

Now don’t get me wrong…I completely understand her saying she does not find him attractive..because we all have our preferences in men/women. However, to make a stament like that was derrogatory to all who find this man attractive..as well as the man himself.

He is sooooooooooo goergous. This is the epitomy of a beautiful human being. The richness of his skin is undeniably sexy. How can any woman find him unattractive.
Listen ladies, if you are attracted to a man for the right reasons, it won’t matter how dark his skin is. The man is absolutly georgous! And he has an amazing talent, and he speaks more than one language, and he has a voice to die for. He is a total package. Congrats to Kimora, but I really don’t see the connection with them. She seems so superficial and he seems a lot deeper than her. I don’t get it.
And Bill, you are so right, people will loose their minds when they see these pics but the white women will be fantasizing about him, wishing they could have him. As a matter of fact, I am sure he gets hit on my more white women than any other race.
They know whats good. The women are not intimidated by someone like him. They want him just as bad as any Black woman. Maybe even more because of the idea of being with such a beautiful, strong looking man.
But the modeling industry knows who he is because modeling is where he started in Paris. They know he is awesome. It is just my opinion, but I do not think that he and Kimora will last. I think he will follow the trend of many African men who end up with White women. We have to remember that he did not grow up in the US so he is probably more open to dating other races besides Black women. I would not be surprised if he ended up with someone like Seal has.
It is sooooooo common in Europe. African man - White (European woman)
No matter what, any woman would love to have him holding her at night.

@174 I did read her statement. How is her statement UNCOUTH??? Forget it. You will never understand where I’m going with this.
I did NOT attack “those who spoke out against her ‘ignorance.’” People are entitled to their opinions. I just said that you were REACHING with using the word UNCOUTH. I didn’t say that I disagreed with you or Complexndope. You can’t in one breath reserve the right to your opinion & take that right away from someone else in the next. So, you decide to say we are both of low social status & moral character because you have a problem with something we wrote on a blog?

WESTERN SOCIETY AND WHITE PEOPLE IN GENERAL HAVE SUCCEEDED IN BRAINWASHING US AFRICAN-AMERICAN. I COULDN’T CARE LESS WHETHER ONE FINDS THIS MAN ATTRACTIVE OR NOT, WHAT I AM TRULY SAD ABOUT IS WHEN I READ COMMENTS SAYING (I paraphrase): “THOSE WHO SAY THAT HE IS ATTRACTIVE ARE HYPOCRITES OR JUST BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT.” FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CANT UNDERSTAND THAT TYPE OF THINKING. IN THIS VIRTUAL WORLD THAT IS THE INTERNET, WHY WOULD ANYONE STATE THAT THIS MAN IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOT MEAN IT?
NO WONDER WE ARE NOT RESPECTED BY ANYONE AND ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF SOCIETY. WE MOST OF THE TIME MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE FEATURES IDENTICAL TO THAT OF OUR ANCESTORS AND MOST OF US DON’T FIND A BLACK PERSON ATTRACTIVE UNLESS THEY ARE LIGHT-SKINNED, HAVE LONG HAIR (FAKE OR NOT) ETC. (I USED TO BE GUILTY OF THAT TOO WHEN I WAS 11).
FOR THE RECORD, I FIND HIM ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE I THINK HE IS BEAUTIFUL, WELL-SPOKEN, TALENTED, CARRIES HIMSELF WITH DIGNITY, AND I LIKE HOW HE HAS STRUGGLED AND WORKED EXTREMELY HARD TO GET TO WHERE HE IS TODAY. BEAUTY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SKIN COLOR OR FACIAL FEATURES (IMO). RATHER, I THINK IT’S ABOUT THE COMPLETE PACKAGE. IF THIS MAN WAS DUMB, LAZY (ETC…) AND HAD A TERRIBLE PERSONALITY, I WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT FIND HIM BEAUTIFUL. BUT I THINK HE IS GREAT AND I LOVE HIS SMOOTHNESS.
BLACK PEOPLE, STOP DEPLORING WHITE RACISM AND TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR. READ SOME BOOKS ABOUT AFRICA AND YOUR HERITAGE. LEARN TO LOVE AND RESPECT YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE YOU CRY ABOUT OTHERS NOT GIVING YOU PROPS, MOVIE ROLES, MODELING CONTRACTS ETC.
SALAM,

and i forgot to say: THANK YOU TO CALVIN KLEIN for giving him that opportunity. it’s long overdue!
we can criticize whites and calvin klein all we want, but when i open black magazines or watch BET, it’s EXTREMELY rare that I see a DARK SKIN model/news anchor/V-jay etc…everybody is usually light-skinned, long hair, and is closest to white as possible. that’s the truth. I hate racism coming from whites and others, but it doesn’t bother me because my own brothers/sisters in America hate themselves.
I am extremely light skinned but I pray and hope the man i am going to fall in love with and marry will be as dark as Djimon so our kids can be as chocolate as possible. screw what the world thinks is beautiful!

another thing i think we as african-american women could do to elevate ourselves is to STOP reinforcing others stereotypes of our men. Everytime the beauty of a black man (specially an African one) is discussed, the first thought that come to people’s mind is his penis and how he must be “packing” and terms like “mandigo” etc. are used. This man (Djimon) as well as MANY black men out there have much more going for them than just the size of their “packages”. When people talk about fine white men (i.e. Brad Pitt, George Clooney etc.) or fine light-skinned men, they usually talk about their features and RARELY make comments about how they must be “packing”. But as soon as a dark African is shown, his penis size is mentionned. Let’s stop that people. That ain’t cute!
Dark Skin men can be beautiful, smart, have nice eyes, nice lips etc….if they happen to be “packing” (and God knows that not all of them are), then GREAT!!!!
Okay, I’ll get off my soapbox for the night. All I want is for us black people to start loving and respecting ourselves and not fall prey to the divide/conquer mentality others exercise on us. We are beautiful in our own right and don’t need others to validate that undeniable fact or to try our darndest to look like others in order to be considered beautiful. Work with what God gave you, carry yourself with dignity, love yourself…..the rest will follow.

@victoria….wow! That has to be the best post I’ve ever read on any site. girl, you speak the truth and I applaud you.
I am Freshman in college now (go to a mostly white school in Connecticut) and I met this one dark skinned Haitian there and I have learned so much about race from talking to him. The brother is fine and if I had a secret crush on him from day one (but I have a boyfriend). White and Asian girls go nuts over him…they all absolutely love him and are always trying to hook up with him. Black girls on the other hand (the ones I have talked to) don’t find him attractive because he is too dark (I swear one of them said that…another one said: “imagine how dark our kids would be…I would hate that!”. I couldn’ t stop shaking my head when I heard that. The guy did everything to get with one of the black girls the first month at school and no one would holla back. they made fun of his features, accent and so forth. Now that the white and asian girls are all over him and that he is dating a white girl, the black girls are all hating and talking about how he is a sellout.
I just don’t get us black people! What I also don’t get is how most of us prefer light-skin yet we hate on those of us who date and marry white people (which will result in us having light-skined kids). The people we have on TV that are considered beautiful by the mainstream are all mixed (halle berry comes to mind) and our men love them.
Anyway, I could go on and on about this issue because it makes me so sad and I am so ashamed that my brothers and sisters are still hung up on that color issue. White people see ALL OF US (whether we look like Halle or we look like Whoopy Goldberg) as BLACK. But we see and refer to another as “light skinned”, “dark skinned” “African looking”, “Mandingo” etc…what a shame!
Kudos to Victoria. This is a sad situation, but I am at least happy to know that they are some people who have successfully fought the brainwashing!

Victoria,
I hear ya, but think about this. White and Black people have been steriotyping the Black man and his penis since forever. Black people have been so programed to think that their only value is to their sexual abilities. You are correct that we as women need to stop looking at the penis as the defining traite of a Black man. There are so many more wonderful levels to the Black man but unfortunately, the media and the government have been constant conspirators of sexualizing the Black race into, male and female. Just look at the movies that come out that are marketed towards the Black community. And, Black people just eat that shyt up without realizing that they have bought into the grand mind job. We truly believe that who we are is linked directly to how big our man’s penis is out how sexy the black woman can look in a video. It is really sad that I was thinking the same thing that so many people focussed on what he “appears” to have. To say that he is packing just on a photo alone is one more example of how this society thinks that the African man has a large penis. He might very well be but that is neither here nor there because the rest of us can only speculate. Like I said he is a total package and it is sad to see so many people only focus on what he must be able to do in the bed with Kimora.
The entire world has this view of the Black man so the whole of the world would have to decondition themselves the see the Black man as more than just a sexual creature.

l liked your post too. I was kind of mentioning that too when I said that Di will probably end up with someone who is not African-American because men like him are viewed as unattractive because of the color of his skin, whereas, women of other races will find him extremely exotic. That is not to say that other races of women don’t steriotype as well, but in my experience, Black American women usually don’t like extremely dark men let alone an African man born in Africa. In my travels I noticed that African men are the object of desire for many cultures other than in America. We hate our roots so much but when it comes to sex, well, sisters will lay it out there for a big …..!
And, another thing, Black men from other countries know a thing or two about us and our history, sometimes more so than we do of ourselves.

“White people see ALL OF US (whether we look like Halle or we look like Whoopy Goldberg) as BLACK.”
That’s God’s truth right there! Thanks for reminding us sister….we are just dumb negroes who have been brainwashed and have become racist against our own people……. we have been put down and disrespected so much and have been so affected by slavery, jim crows……that we take it out on one others today. everything you and that lady victoria said is the truth. I hate white racism but to be completely honest, I am much more bothered by black racism and all the things black do to each other (black on black crime, black men deserting their women and kids, the ghettoness, the bling-bling, the eccentric weaves, the rims in the cars etc…)
and that person who said that Calvin Klein should be thanked is right. I have personnally NEVER seen a dark-skinned women or men with genuine African features (except for Akon maybe) featured as a model in a black magazine, TV show, as a news anchor, video vjay, etc…NEVER! Let’s wash our own laundry first before we talk about others.
thank you to you sister and to victoria
PS: Oy yeah, Djimon is fine as hell! If society wasn’t as messed up, this man would be talked about as the next James Bond or be mentionned as a sex symbol in the same category as brad pitt, clooney, affleck, david beckam and the usual suspects *yawn*

I have always found this man handsome and beautiful. And it has absolutely nothing to do with his body or skin color. I just love his presence, smile (especially in that janet jackson video) and his aura. he seems so polished, distinguished, kind, and gentle. I don’t know what it is. he just got it and I think kimora is one lucky girl. I guess the only thing I don’t like about him is the fact that he is dating such a girl. he can do so much better. but I am sure that most black women in hollywood wouldn’t go for him…I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up with a white girl.
Check out how sweet and articulate he sounds here (this is such a great departure from most of our public black men who talk all ghetto and stuff: http://www.youtube.com/wa...;mode=related&search=
and here as well:

Bellissimo,
I am light complexioned but to me if a man has a good ora then he can be the finest man in the world but not about his features. I personally find his African features to be so beautiful because ! chose to embrace what is beautiful about the African/Black culture. I refuse to believe what the media tries to tell us. We should know ourselves better than anyone no matter what shade of brown we come in. We just don’t know our value because we have been brainwashed to think we have to have long straight blond hair, thin facial features, and light eyes to be considered beautiful.
There is so much hatred between Black people. I refuse to buy into it. People should look past the exterior and look at the charachter of a man.
I saw Amistad about 2 years ago for the second time and I found his presence to be to be so awesome and it really did not have anything to do with his skin tone. He just has it! I really can’t put a finger on it eigther, he is just it!
I loooooved him in the Gladiator and Blood Diamonds! The man is just awesome.

I guess the brother has bills to pay but I just wish he could say NO to stereotypical roles that hollywood keeps throwing at him (Blood Diamond, Gladiator etc…he always play the same character). I would love to see him cast in a James bond movie (WHY the hell not????), a doctor, a romantic comedy (I guess he did Beauty shop but that was not oscar worthy) and the same role Brad Pitt get.
and also I don’t need to see him in his briefs and all oiled up to think that he is Fine. The man is FINE because he is simply beautiful and he has what many men lack: a great presence. Being able to speak many languages and being smart and dignfy helps also….oh yeah he has a great smile as well….I could go on and on about the things that make him fine and not mentionned how he appears to have a large manhood and all thos corny stereotypes.
You go Djimon. May God bless him to have an ever better hollywood career. You make us all proud……BUT PLEASE stay away from the likes of Cameron and Kimora.

An interesting and ‘real’ observation:
1. Black male leads (Denzel, Jamie, Wesley, Freeman, Tyson, Damon, 50 Cent) and images in Hollywood / music are ‘almost’ all chocolate or close to…
BUT….
2. Black female leads (Halle, Beyonce, Rihanna, Keyes, BET show hosts) and images in Hollywood / music are ‘almost’ all light-skinned or close to.
Synopsis: Mainstream believes that dark Black men are attractive. Mainstream believes that light-skinned Black women are attractive.
Truth: Throw away what the mainstream feeds you. Its not by us, and not good for us.

@mjb and belissimo THANK YOU. i have been saying that for years. the reason why black men like djimon end up with white women is b/c they are pursued by white women (or women of other races) more. we always complain about how there are no more “good men” b/c they have chosen women of other races. though there are black men who are shun black women, there are those who don’t care about race. however, if you’re own race isn’t attracted to you, you’re going to search for love somewhere else. i think this man is beautiful but i KNOW that NONE of my black friends would find him attractive. actually no black girl i have ever met would find him attractive. i even had a girl straight out tell me that she preferred light-skinned men and thought dark-skinned men were ugly. most of the women that are running after him are probably not dark-skinned black girls therefore he probably won’t end up with one (like the haitian boy mjb was talking about). we shouldn’t be upset at him, we should be upset atsome of the young black girls today who think that attractive equals ghetto, hood, too baggy pants, belligerence etc. i can’t tell you how many times i’ve seen a poised cute dark-skinned boy “discarded” for a wannabe thug regardless of color (which also brings in the issue of inner beauty, something that our society forgets about though they superficially praise it) and of course the poised boy ended up with a white chick. i guess what i’m trying to say is that ppl need to stop criticizing him for dating a light-skinned chick when many black women don’t even want him b/c they think he’s too dark. let him be with someone who loves him
end note: HE IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL!

I will applaud some of you women on your stunning admission. I have also been previewed to the black-on-black stereotypes in college. I had friends from Senegal, who were dark as Djimon…and their women were fair complexion or of mix decent. It seems like, every race of women were chasing after these guys, except black women. Is it is something they know about that black women don’t know?
Now, I have no issue with personal preferences. But, I do have issues when majority of black men and black women typecast beauty to fit a certain mold.
If you understood how much power your dark skin carries, many of you would try to find the darkest person to mate with. Dark melanin is the dominant allele…is supersedes every other complexion. Do you know that white America is trying to come up with a pill that will enhance the melanin production in white people? White America knows that white skin is weaker and that if you travel through the world, white is the minority. Go to middle east, Go to India, go to brazil, go to Japan, go to south America, go the Africa, almost the entire world consist of people with some degree of darker melanin. You are feared! If you mate a black person with a white person, the offspring will no longer be white…that is fucking power. And white America knows that.

Please inform me, how I don’t know about my race. A majority of the dudes I have dated/crushed on, have been dark skinned males. I’ve dated someone the SAME COMPLEXION as Djimon. My mother and my sister are dark skinned. I have no special preference when it comes to race or complexion. I find this ONE GUY unattractive & now I don’t know about my race. Get fucking real. If that’s the case those who diss Tameka know not about their race.
(That’s another point, black women are so quick to diss & bring other black women down….yet put black men [no matter how they look or act] on this unreachable pedestal…well I’m sorry…I’m not about to be beneath anyone)
A good number of these motherfuckers in here were dissing this man in every other post. Now the man is in his drawers & people are hooting & hollaring.
Truth of the matter: Could PC have been the wrong term to use?, maybe. But the real is: people yearn to be accepted & fit in, whether it’s online or not. That’s a reality. You can tell by the little cliques of people who laugh at & cosign everything their counterparts say. As I stated before, whenever someone doesn’t give a black man/person their props they are automatically labeled as “ashamed of their race”, “not knowing of their culture”, and “whitewashed”. Then people start switching up here to avoid conflict & confrontation among people like yourself.
Me, I’m not scared to stick to my opinions & statements. I’m also not afraid to express them. The funny thing is: YOU yourself, understood where I drew my statement from; yet I’m STILL “uncouth” to you.

@complexndope there are some parts to your argument that i don’t agree with.
1. you said black women are so quick to put each other down and put black men on a pedestal. that’s a general statement that shouldn’t be made b/c most of the black girls i know have problems with the way a lot of black men act. a lot of black women are always talking about how there is a shortage of “good” black men. i’ve even seen those types of conversations on tv so i don’t think black men are put on a pedestal. are women quicker to criticize other women than they do for men? yes, but that’s the human nature. white women do the same. even men are quicker to criticize other men than they do women. you don’t know how many times guy friends of mine have been upset at me for stating that some guy was cute.
2. i’m not sure where you’re statement about ppl being called “whitewashed” b/c they don’t like some black guy comes from. i’m stated on several occasions that the football guy that was with kim kardashian was nothing special but i never got called out on it. i think kelly rowland looks average but i never got called out on that. ppl might disagree and tell me i’m wrong but i’ve never been called white-washed. it depends on how you say things. if someones says that djimon is too dark for his/her tastes, then i’ll be like “oh so what? you have a problem with dark skin? you’re whitewashed”. i think the reason why ppl might be upset with your statement is b/c you made a general statement about political correctness as if no one can possibly find this man attractive, that it must be that ppl want to be PC (i know you weren’t talking about everyone but the fact that you made the statement at all shows that it’s hard for you to believe that he’s wanted by many women). you said that many ppl on here talking about how good he looks are the same ones clowning him. that’s kind of true but you forgot that ppl can change their views, we’re fickle like that. when i first saw him in the janet vid and the michael vid, i thought he was ugly but when i saw a clip of him in that latifah movie, i thought he was so sexy and his speech was so perfect. i’ve changed in the way i look at men and maybe there are ppl on here that have gone through the same change

Dayum, dayum, double dayum!!!!!!!!!!! we would look so good together tangled up in the sheets, that beautiful dark skin against my beautiful caramel skin, yummmmmmmmmmmm. I would let that brotha fugg me til I couldn’t walk and when I did manage to walk, it would be bowlegged. The Lord didn’t make anything more beautiful than a brotha like that, where can I find one like that?

brother has always been fine and ggod looking since amistad. Some people don’t recognize beauty when they see it. Color or origin has nothing to do with it. I just wish I was in Kamora shoes.

How sad to read the comments - especially from “Bailey” about what “white Americans deplore”. You sound like an educated person, but to make a claim about what we deplore is no different than us making stereotypical comments about you. Please refrain from lumping all white people in to a big pot of hatred and racism. We, like every other race, have differing opinions that are all our own, due to how we were raised, the culture around us and our life experiences. There is almost always a wall between me and my black friends, which I know I don’t build. It’s because of this attitude that deep down, we’re (whites) all the same.
If that were the case, Obama would never have gotten to where he is now because he sure didn’t get there strictly with the help of the black community.
Please think, just a little, before you post such generalizations.
