Honestly #65. I believe people like YOU are the problem.

You overanalyze why someone finds love (or lust) outside of their race. Maybe that’s YOUR OWN insecurity that you feel you aren’t good enough. Not mine. I could care less. It’s not stopping my heart from beating. I know someone is out there for me (whether white, black, yellow, or purple).

@ 44 I dont even know why you even acknowledged 38’s comment. That’s got to be about the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard. Like you said your complection is not the determining factor in how light or dark your offspring come out.

He must still be in middle school, because he definitely sounds like a child that knows nothing about heredity, and genes. I guess. There’s some dumb asses on here sometimes. He’s definitely on a self-hating Berg tip.

Since the whole theme on this site is to point out what folks are doing wrong here goes:

First off, I see someone at CL is now on the LA LA tip… heres a little tip: BAD CHOICE FOR A FEATURE PIC. She was an MTV Video Jock…she isnt anyone spectacularly famous. Why is she on here and who really cares about her other than you guys anydamnway???

La las ill fitting outfit looks sloppy, her boobs look saggy. In a couple of pics she looks like shes trying to slick scratch her cha cha(maybe shes uncomfortable in the hideous outfit) and the fake smile is soooo tired. Carmelo looks good but those braids are played out. Not cute at all. Grow up and cut your hair. Wanna be a man? Look like one. Tocarra needs to tone down the makeup. She looks like a clown everywhere I see her lately. Tichina looks country(as always…an obvious graduate of the Golden Brooks school of fashion). And Lisa Leslie should NOT have worn sandals.

HOWEVER…..
Braylon Whatshisface sure looks yummy…if only I were a few years younger. LOL.

Life is too short to hate on someone else’s preference. Black women should open up to the possiblity of falling for a nonblack man. I’m attracted to nonblack men, so I can’t hate on these athletes who date the women they choose. Let, these men do them, I bet if Naomi Campbell walked into the a locker room with all these black men who are so crazy about bi-racial or nonblack women, would fall over themselves over her.

Poster #81, I think the problem is we don’t analyze ENOUGH. Say what you will and only care about yourself, but there is nothing you can say that will make me believe all of those women in those pictures being light skinned is a coincidence. There is nothing you can say that will make me believe the high rates of athletes with non-black or very light skinned partners, is just a coincidence.

I am past that, “Oh why don’t we just all get along and love each other because the only thing that matters is love” crap. We have some serious issues in the black community that need to be addressed. I am not against interracial love despite what some my think, but 70% of interracial relationships involving Blacks, the male is Black, and only 30 % are black women is crazy? That is dramatic.

Black people using “preference” is just a scapegoat. Many of you same folks would have chosen the white doll and would have never asked yourselves why. Many of you apparently just chalked it up as “preference”.

Look at it this way…successful, highly paid black athletes only make up a tiny percentage of the whole black community. In the bigger picture, despite interracial relationships and marriages which I’m cool with, most marriages are STILL between black women and black men, or at least black babies born per year outnumber biracial black/white babies. We’re still gonna be here regardless.

I have a preference for nonblack men, because that’s who I’m attracted to, so I don’t care who these men date. I, wouldn’t look twice at them , even if I knew they were millionaire athletes.

Candace Parker & Nicole Murphy(who btw, why don’t u lose ur last name? huh?) look beautiful. Braylon Edwards apparently didn’t realize that this isn’ t the BET awards, coming up in there lookin all G’d up. & wat the hell is Lala wearing?

92.

Woop a.k.a. I hate haters... does that make me a hater?

Thursday, July 17, 2008 /

Oh my days… i just wanted to say that everyone looked nice, and then reading some of your comments, the interracial dating thing pops up with people’s preferences…light skinned, chocolate, dark chocolate.

Yung Berg (dont even know who he is )is a peanut head with his daft comments. He should just keep his ghetto mouth shut

I noticed that in the States, anyone who looks black is considered black, whether you’re half or a quarter (aka Alicia Keys, Halle Berry but in the UK, they’re considered mixed race like Leona Lewis. hmmm ( Brits used to say half caste which was quite offensive)..I digress.

Now let me play devil’s advocate for a minute. Would you females be this upset if Freddy Adu were to show up with a light,bright, close to white? He looks like the type that black females dissed up and down back in the day. But now that he has some dollars, he is a “catch”. Not their “catch” but a catch, that looks good only on paper. I just thought I’d ask.

Love LaLa’s titties

95.

LMAO @ THIS POST

Thursday, July 17, 2008 /

I think La La looks pretty, and although I am not a fan of her man Carmelo…he looks nice as well I guess. LOL!!

I love the Beckhams…especially David…yummy.

I know he just won a championship…but Paul Pierce looks a damn fool with those white shoes on, i’m sorry. LOL!

..but on the other other hand, the other champ K.G and his wife look G.Q. They look great.

I’ve saved the best for last….BRAYLON EDWARDS is fine as all hell. He better work!!

Looks like good times were had by all…next!!

@92, it’s probably the lasting impact of the One Drop Rule here in the States. I got West Indian family in the UK and they tell me that race mixing is rampant in the UK (mostly black men and white women according to stats), and is generally more accepted. The whole idea of being called biracial in the UK is the norm.

Eddie Murphy’s wife is not attractive to me at all. She resembles a man! And no I am not hating at all. She has a nice body but her masculine face has got to go! LOL LOL. I do think that La La is an attractive woman but that skirt needs to go. It remind me of an ostrich and she should have worn a bra to push her cleavage up!

And as far as the light vs. dark issue is concerned, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am a darker complexion woman myself. Some folks just have their preferences when it comes to what they find attractive. It might be someone light or dark.

I will admit that Hollywood (acting, singing, sports, etc) tends to give roles more to the lighter complexion folks. Hell, the “darker the berry the sweeter the juice. Black is beautiful and comes in all different shades!!

braylon edwards is FINE…he should have worn dress shoes though.
melo needs to take the cornrows out… not a teenager anymore.
Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker…the dynamic duo on the court, but look very nice.

@98 He looks like the type,i’m not surprised. I’m just surprise he didn’t show up with one at the awards. He looks like he got no play back in the day. But a white woman in college found his dark skin to be exotic.

VelvetJ>>>educate! You are 100% on point. This “preference” mess is B.S. A person can preference their way out of a great relationship. It’s called colorism, aka brainwashing, but nevertheless, whatever floats their boat. Whether they were with white, black, etc., they wouldn’t be with me, so more power to them.

Everyone looks decent.

Ok..why do I see Tichina Arnold Everywhere? Didn’t I read in the May 2008 Essence Magazine, and she said she had a MAN/BEAU that worked for the NBA? Why is she at the Espy Awards ALONE if she has a BEAU that works for the NBA??? The NBA season is over. Where is her BEAU????

I am tired of the skin color debate as the be all end all issue. If you ever get a chance to attend a “hollywood” red carpet event (ie. oscars, grammys, emmys etc..) you will understand the pictures don’t begin to speak to the issue we are discussing. The ESPY awards, honor stand out athleticism. These athletes make tons of money, but the people who pay them throw the parties. If I see one more picture of the Beckhams I’m going to just spit. Hollywood is just an allusion. Its a dream you don’t have to buy.

I have had many foreigners speak of Beckham’s mediocre talent in comparison to many foreign soccer players, known and unknown. But if we were to believe all that the American press says and show, he is about the nearest thing to a deity on American soil.

Same perspective for black athletes and white women, only this time, “Hollywood” snaps a picture, creates an image that shows everything except “gold digging” in action. (and successful gold digging requires a “pass” to get into the party.)
