Check out the cover for the October issue of Essence Magazine featuring actors/models Boris Kodjoe, Blair Underwood and Lance Gross speaking about their love for black women. The issue hit stands in a couple of weeks.
I ABSOLUTELY love me some BORIS KODJOE! He is so so so… FINE and has a great personality! I have his pics all on my computer so I can see him everyday. He sure has a lucky wife because I’m sure he’s a true blessing from god! If I could only get my hands on him just once… the things I’d do! lol…
You know what Essence, SIT THE FU*K DOWN! As good as these men look, I still don’t want to buy your magazine anymore. Damn, how many times are yall gonna recycle the what Black men want story?!!
@ CARLO_GOZZI THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH FOCUSING ON “BLACK” MEN.
WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS GET THEIR PANTIES IN A BUNCH WHEN THE FOCUS IS ON “BLACK” MEN OR “BLACK” LOVE? BLACK MEN & WOMEN ARE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN MANY WAYS BUT WE STILL HAVE OUR OWN SET OF ISSUES THAT ARE UNIQUE & SPECIFIC TO ONLY US. LET THESE BROTHERS HAVE THEIR MOMENT.
I ALWAYS LMAO WHEN SOMEONE SAYS BORIS ISN’T SEXY. YOU KNOW DAMN WELL IF YOU SAW HIM ON THE STREET YOU WOULD BE BREAKING YOUR NECK TRYING TO GET AT HIM. NOT TO MENTION I’M SURE HE LOOKS A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN ANY MAN YOU HAVE EVER DATED. SO STFU.
I am black, you are white.
I am coffee, you are milk.
We will always complement each other.

I have subscription to Essence for the first time, and I beginning to love reading that magazine, I purchase my first one with Jada about discussing about loving her body in the July issue and it was great!! Then I brought the Janet cover in Aug and loved it also, so I ordered it from Canada… Can’t wait to read this issue!!! Black Love is a beautiful thing!!!
#29.. all the other magazines focuses on ‘MEN’ and it usually isn’t about black men… u want to read about ‘MEN’ buy a Cosmo….leave Essence alone…geez
I don’t know if one magazine issue could cover this topic…
anywayz… loving the beautiful shades of my people on this cover…
@rolls eyes white mags have the same type of covers so idk what you’re complaining about. men in general think that the world owes them something, doesn’t matter what race they are and there are plenty of white men who wouldn’t date black women (yes it’s worse when a black man neglects black women but still it shows that both can have color issues) so the fact that you overlook their flaws but can’t overlook a black man’s flaws shows that you’re just as bad as the black men who only date white women because “black women have attitudes or never paid them attention blah blah”
Boris and Blair…YAAAS!!! Lance…no. They all have been in Winston Jerome movies (*snicker* loves The Boondocks) but Lance has that long term taint. Plus he’s just corny in general…Should have put Idris in his place.
I think black women take these ”what makes black men happy and faithful” themes a little more personal than their white counterparts only because the media always perpetuates the negative stereotypes of black women. So, when black women see these titles, it almost reaffirms that black women are the problem, only it reaffirms it from a black man’s perspective.
I love the cover. I wish they could have black men that are in the 20/30 age range, but this will suffice for now.

Finally some men speaking about their love of black women instead of bashing and telling everything that is wrong with black women.
I ALWAYS LMAO WHEN SOMEONE SAYS BORIS ISN’T SEXY. YOU KNOW DAMN WELL IF YOU SAW HIM ON THE STREET YOU WOULD BE BREAKING YOUR NECK TRYING TO GET AT HIM. NOT TO MENTION I’M SURE HE LOOKS A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN ANY MAN YOU HAVE EVER DATED. SO STFU.
