I LOVE ME THIS MAN SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!

It’s quite telling really that a white man like him can have a black love interest in his video (or videos), whereas most of them rappers wouldn’t be caught dead with any sisters in their videos.

His leading lady is darker than what most brothas in the industry have in their videos nowadays. Much respect to him for that. That’s beautiful that she’s dark skinned and being romanced, and not having to subject herself to shake her ass in the video.

I LOVE ROBIN! And this song is BEAUTIFUL…. It takes you back to those REAL early love songs… Stevie, Whitney, You know REAL singing… And #8 I noticed that too. Most artist want cuban, anything light bright and almost white, it’s great to have a BEAUTIFUL darker complexed woman sometimes.

That was poppin’, I ain’t even gonna hate, well maybe just a little cause Jessica fynne hershey chocolate ass up in da vid. But I feel a lot of what other peeps were saying about most rapper’s videos only having like light skinned chicks in the videos, it is sad I’ll admit. This kind of reminds me of the Michael Jackson video with Naomi Cambel, who was a great choice to have in that video cause she was MAD sexy back then, not as much now though. Thats why we got Jessica though.

HOTTTNESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the fact that he used a dark skin female like Jessica who looks so much like me! LOVES IT!!!! and robin is too hot!
And to the people that are talking about rappers using light skinned females in videos, lets just ask ourselves the question; does Candy shop and PIMP show more class than the Sweetest Love???Hells no!

31.

Valenne

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

Humm, our light skin sisters are beautiful too! Lets not disrespect them but it makes us dark skinned feel good to see that someone love us! I know there are a lot of brothas that actually love our chocolate skin but its like the media and the people that are in the public eye are afraid or ashamed to showcase our beauty! So props to you ROBIN! btw, this song is beautiful too! I want to be in love too!

I’ve been a fan of Robin Thicke since ‘96 and also a huge fan of interracial relationships. I’m part African American/Costa-Rican and my husband is German. People are still ignorant at the fact of interracial dating but all we do is dust our shoulders off and keep it moving.

Love has no boundaries.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this video! So sweet, so swexy! BTW Robin album is great. It will probably take this one as long as it did “Evolution” to catch on to the masses. I got evolution 3 months before they would even play the music on the radio. Then he was EVERYWHERE!!! Good luck to him. He needs to go back on Oprah!

———————————————————————————————————————–

That is so wrong. Justin used a black girl in his first solo video- like i love you.
Jessica is pretty. Robin is slick.. Loves it. Nice song. UHMMM the video…I just wish they were not making out too much.. Just too much romance going on. Lol

@ Megan

Do me a favor. Can you name one black male r&b singer whose love interest in their video has been a white woman? Of all the brothas I’ve seen in these dumbass r&b songs singin’ in the rain in suede jackets and begging whorish women to take them back, I’ve NEVER ONCE seen a black man singing to a white woman. Not once, that I can remember. If you can, please enlighten me. I’ve seen black female r&b singers with white male love interests and white male “r&b” singers with the black woman, but never the black male with the white woman. But the black male is “so disrespectful”, lol. I guess now the black male doesn’t even have the right to choose what shade of black woman he wants while you applaud the black woman playing the whore to this cokehead descendant of slaveowners. Some of you black women kill me with that light skin/dark-skinned nonsense.

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

does someone have to marry a darskin to appreciate a darksin. u cant help who you fall inlove with some times. YES some people are vain but for the most part love knows NO boundaries. so again i ask

does his wife HAVE to be a dark skin for him to put a dark skin in his video?

i think he chose someone who he thought was BEAUTIFUL point blank

jessica white is THAT CHICK

Why do people always have to bring up the light skin, dark skin thing??? People really need to get a self esteem. Love yourself. I mean who are these rappers and singers to define who is beautiful and who isn’t.

Beautiful song, sexy singer, sexy model. LOL, he makes brothers look so stupid. It takes a white man, singing black music to put a sistah in his video - Damn shame. She 100% chocolate, she looks just like my mother when she was young. I almost forgot how beautiful all shades of black could be.

Great job!

man just reading these comments and seeing that video makes me want to cry (lol) i am a dark skin sista darker then jessica but i am beautiful but have been told by the dark skin men who i just love with a passion like Idris Elba Young Buck or Lance (Eva Pigford bf) that even tho i am beautiful they only like lite skin women so now i am dating a white man and whew u should see the stares that i get from guys who i know wouldnt even talk to me so its like why do u care! but anywho big up 2 Robin 4 putn her in his video and hopefully and especially with Obama getn in people will start to see that skin color is NOT or should NOT b a factor and that is so UNTRUE that lite skin women are prettier then dark skin women no disrespect to them but it irks me when some1 thinks that a woman is cute just cuz she lite skin long hair etc like u have to b lite skin to have long hair or pretty skin etc so oh well

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

lol these comments… I wish I had a funny face icon… hmmm I agree with your point Judah maybe not the delivery but the point… it’s that house negro thinking that the “different shades of black” is always part of the convo I doubt it will ever end.

Anyway.. I like R. Thicke voice all the same..lol.. I’m not to sure about his new cd I’m scared since I heard the snippets…

some of you chicks blow me. let a brotha have a white girl in a video or on his arm and it’s, “that’s how them rappers are, get rich and famous and forget about the sistas…” blah blah blah. but let it be a black girl who snatched herself a white man, and it’s, “once you go white, you know you done right!” STFU!!! it’s the same damn shyt, can’t you see? you don’t see white chicks bad-mouthing robin thicke because he likes a little color in his life. stop with the double standards and quit wasting your life worrying about who other people are seeing/screwing. if you were half as interested in your own life/relationships, you wouldn’t be sitting up in CL nagging and whining about other people. yall are some pathetic creatures.

Can we just enjoy the video and the music without being so critical of everything, it’s a good song and a lovely video i enjoy seeing lines being cross, it shows you how far we as people have come we still have some ways to go, but this is a start.

P.S. I love the CD, fav song is Dreamworld

I heard this song at the end of this past summer and I fell in love with it, just as I’ve loved Robin’s music for so long…he seems to be a beautiful person, his music displays that too….And the cd is the ish, along with last year’s cd too! His work is amazing and I hope he gets his just do to him…Grammy, anyone (although he doesn’t need that to solidify what he stands for, and that’s good music)
Also, I’ve read the comments and I am feeling what everyone is saying, escpecially #47…I am from the south and contrary to anyone else’s belief (with the “let it go and have confidence and self-esteem? Pls, I do….and that’s just half the battle), the color barrier isn’t as profound, but it still exist. And how about that, “You are a very beautiful CHOCOLATE girl/woman?” As to say, “if you were lighter, your features wouldn’t be hot?”
LMAO, now those people need to STFU

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

Ok, I love the vid. being a chick, i would have liked to see more Robin then Jessica, but taht is whatever. I have read the comments and I have this to say to those that say get over it and move on about the color situation. My husband is white and we have a beautiful little girl. One day a dark skinned lady asked me if i adopted her because she was too pretty to be my child. Mind you her features are all mine, but her skin is very light. And all she saw was the light!!! So it is hard to get over the dark/light thing until we can see beyond it as a whole. And to make matters worse, our men are now starting to see why we were trippin. And as for the R&B singer with a white leading chick.. Ryan Leslie” Diamond Girl”, Lil’ Wayne” Miss. Officer”. Not that I care because it is all gravy to me, but if one more brotha holding a white girls hand comes and tell me how I am diluting the race because I was suppose to wait on them to “finish” playing, I am going to scream!!!!

@JUDAH

HUN, A BETTER QUESTION WOULD BE, HOME MANY BLACK R&B SINGERS AND/OR RAPPERS HAVE YOU SEEN WITH DARK SKINNED “BLACK” WOMEN IN THEIR VIDEOS!???? I MEAN I’VE SEEN A BUNCH OF LIGHT SKINNED BLACK WOMEN, I’VE SEEN A BUNCH OF “MIXED” RACE WOMEN, TO THE POINT OF NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO DEFINE THEIR NATIONALITY….

LET’S KEEP IT REAL…THE LIGHT SKIN DARK SKIN ISSUE IS A REAL ISSUE, STOP TRYING TO DRESS IT UP AND PUSH IT ASIDE AS A ISSUE A FEW BLACK WOMEN HAVE, OR A FEW BLACK MEN HAVE…THIS ISSUE IS REAL, IT’S LONG STANDING, ITS PERVASIVE, ITS DIVISIVE, IT’S CORROSIVE AND IT RUNS DEEPPPP…..IT’S A HUGE IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, TO THE POINT WHERE IT’S ALMOST LIKE A DISEASE….IT’S TO THE POINT WHERE BLACK PEOPLE ARE WAY MORE PREJUDICE AGAINST OUR OWN RACE THAN ANY OTHER RACE COULD BE AGAINST US, AND IT’S THE POINT WHERE WE THINK MUCH LESS OF OURSELVES THAN OTHER RACE DO. WHY SOME BLACK PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME AND ACT SHOCKED, I DUNNO….

I WONT GET TOO DEEP INTO THIS BECAUSE I JUST DON’T FEEL LIKE THE GOING BACK AND FORTH TODAY…..

ON THE VIDEO, I LIKE IT…I THINK JESS WAS A GOOD CHOICE; SHE’S A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, AND PAULA, HIS WIFE, IS GORGEOUS AS WELL…JUST SHOWS YOU HOW SO MANY COLORS IN OUR RACE IS SO PRETTY…..

@JSCENE

Lol, why would that be a better question? Maybe because you can’t answer the one that I asked and to do so would be to condemn yourself and your moronic black-woman reasoning? If there are so many colors in our race that are “so pretty”, why is the light-skinned/dark-skinned issue an issue at all? No disrespect but due to the fact that black people have no self-knowledge and have been crafted in the image of white people, they must judge themselves by those standards and even when they try to act “pro-black” it’s usually according to some nonsense that they made up as opposed to anything legitimate. The far more divisive issue in the black community is the emotionally driven mindset and beliefs of the sisters and their attempts to dominate the black male psyche, which has led to these pussified black male mamas boys that cannot think their way out of a paper bag nor deduce what is going on around them. The same weak-minded, white woman worshipping black men that sisters complain about are the Frankensteins that were created in the black woman’s laboratory of emotionalism.

The end of the matter is that it is not the black woman’s business what shade of black woman a certain black man is with. She should have her mind more on why she is obsessed with vanity and how it has led to her adoration of the white man and his wicked society, her hatred of herself and her fellow black women, and her yearning to replace the white woman. As you admitted, the light-skinned/dark-skinned issue is certainly more of a hot button issue in the black community, especially amongst insecure black women, than any antipathy with the caucasian and that speaks more to the belief in the black community that the caucasian view of them has changed and that interracial brotherhood is possible. That’s a whole other topic. I’m not going to strive with you too much on this for the simple fact that you and I both know that you were checkmated from the start with the FACT that no black male r&b singer has ever had a white female love interest in his video. At least not of note. You couldn’t think of one so you resorted to a strawman tactic of flipping the argument to the b.s light-skinned/dark-skinned debate, which is not a debate, and furthermore it was only your pride that inspired you to start something that you can’t win. Proof of the inherent spiteful and vindictive nature of the sisters is that they will laud a white male with the black woman but villify a black male with a LIGHT-SKINNED black woman, not even a white woman, lol. I guess the light-skinned black women should shrivel up and die. I wonder what should happen to the light-skinned black men according to the dictates of some of these black women? Maybe it’s irrelevant because since the black male has become simple and weak, they are not viewed as a threat…..

thats why i love that our president has a real black wife on his arms!!! he is showing all these rappers like young jezzy,lil wayne,fabulous and young breg that you dont have to get a light skinned or mixed woman to prove that you have made it!! attention all black women stop buying young jezzy and lil wayne albums if they cant represent black beauty in videos!!! you black men need to look at our president to define what a real black man looks like

its cute that he used a BLACK girl because dark or light shes still black no matter what shade…why cant yall just appreciate that?? light skinned girls cant help that theyre in more videos theyre just following orders geesh its like when someone puts a dark skinned girl in their video you just gotta bash the light skinned girls but the worst part about it is its the blacks doing it cus the whites could care less either way

Judah all of that and you ain’t sayin’ a damn thing. It sounds to me like you have more of a problem with black women than anything else. Somebody did you dirty back in the day? You sound a mess!
