who cares, got too many other things in the world to discuss rather than some crap that HAS BEEN for years, grow up, sing another song for once people. You all need a separate site for your races issues
SHE CUTE
Okay, I can’t take it.
1st that baby looks just like Babyface
2nd What about the BIGGEST example we have Barack & Michelle.
I am black through and through from the hood in Atlanta and I have been married to a gorgeous BLACK(chocolate)man for 14 years. I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion but come on people, your belief system is full of holes. Stop judging and be happy for people or better yet change what’s making you unhappy and be happy for yourselves. It’s 2009, New TOPIC PLEASE!!!!
Khemistry and Realist, you two make very good points and are right on…black men have a lot of self-hatred. For those who say who cares, they can date anyone whomever they want; that is not the point - and what I believe Khemistry and Realist are insinuating that there is something deeper going on here. What black men are doing…constantly choosing women that are not black is NOT normal. Science teaches us that like species gravitate towards like kind and Sociology teaches us that it is human nature to gravitate toward like kind. When you constantly have one group - in this case black men- who constantly go outside of themselves (i.e. their racial group) to find a mate, that is not normal behavior - THAT IS ABNORMAL. According to studies, black men are more likely to marry outside of their race than any other men; however, their interracial unions are also more likely to end in divorce. (note: white men married to asian women stay married the longest and white men married to black women stay married the second longest in terms of interracial relationships).
I work in the school system and I remember questioning why is it that in the cafeteria that although the students could sit anywhere they like for the most part the black kids sit together, the spanish-speaking kids sit together, the white kids sit together (note: you may have a few outlayers but they are not the norm when identified with the other groups). Why do the students of same race and/or cultural backgrounds tend to sit together? It’s human nature to gravitate towards like kind. If black men are constantly going outside of their racial group at disproportionate numbers to other groups of men and women, that is NOT NORMAL IT IS ABNORMAL.
How “normal” does this sound to you: a rich and famous black man gets married and folks are asking, “Is she black?” Does that sounds normal to you when he is black himself? With that said, when a celebrity white man gets married, how often do you, “Ask is she white?”
monica, my 21 year old son says 2 thumbs up to your post..you covered all the bases, and extremely well. You put correctly and intellectually, into words what is a major issue in the black race.
SAY IT TWICE Erica lol.
wow @ Ki …… but while it definitely seems like that even now I don’t have problems attracting black men of all shades and I’m brown skinned. It also seems that the black men that approach me mostly prefer dating black women.
I hope that women is not her mother. That’s the way Babyface got into his first marriage with the girl’s mother introduction. I do believe that Tracey was a golddigger and she and her mother worked sorta like Robin Givens and her mother. He seems such a nice type, I hope for him this will be a really good relationship.
Ha! I thought the first pic was of the granny holding the baby. Yikes Babyface! But then again he’s on the old side too. Cute kid old parents.
I RECALL BABYFACE HAVING A OLDER DAUGHTHER FROM HIS FIRST MARRIAGE SHE SHOULD BE IN HER TWENTIES,(MARRAIGE TO TRACEY WAS HIS SECOND MARRAIGE..AND I AGREE SHE WAS A GOLD DIGGER!!!!!!)
Wow…2009 and people are still fighting the same fighting…amazing.
I am a light skinned bi-racial woman. I was raised by a single father, a strong black man who instilled in me from birth to be proud of where I was coming from. He let me know from very young that I was going to have to overcome the racism of ignorant people and embrace my brown skin and thick lips and feel beautiful about whom I was and where my skin came from. I date men of all races not because I hate my skin or rather my father’s skin but because my father taught me to never settle for disrespect. Black men where I am from feel a need to be “black” enough, they have to ‘walk the walk” or “talk the talk” and that’s fine but when their step to me, they better come with respect. I don’t care how black or white your skin is or how straight or kinky your hair is, I demand respect from every man I date. Unfortunately for me, where I come from the majority of black men that approach me want to yell at me, or grab on me, or call me “Ma”… and I am not grown man’s mother. If I date a white man, it is not because his hair is straight but because he approached me with respect and treated to me with class, the same way my father does.
You are all soooooooooo silly. People who have celebrity are exposed to all kinds of diffrent people, so they have a large pool of choices. White men pick skinny girls under 25 with DD boobs. What can you do? That’s their choice. I’m well over 30 and a size B. My chances for one of those fellows are pretty slim. Life goes on. We choose who we want to be with for whatever reason. That’s our right. There is no secret code of devotion for the opposite sex just because they resemble you.
MONICA, KHEMISTRY, IGGLES and REALIST…you all are on point. I would like to add that if you notice it’s usually (far more than not) darker-skinned black men dating and marrying outside of their race.
I live in the DC Metro area and almost without fail anytime a black man achieves any type of success, they are off to the White, Asian and Latino women. They have no requirements for these women (i.e., they can be on welfare, fat and not very attractive) and the black men run them down. If you a black man dating or married to a black woman she has to be the perfect size 6 hair at least to her shoulders, brown but not too dark and must have what he has if not more.
I work where black men (more times than not) do not speak to black woman, will not hold the door but let a white woman be coming…they will wait 5 minutes to hold the door for her.
Everyone keeps saying: “Oh they can date whomever they choose” how many white celebrities, athletes or anyone in the media’s line of fire do you see with black women? How many white corporate CEO’s have black wives?
I don’t live in a vacuum, I know white men do marry black women but they are not the white guys you see on television or in magazines. Some are successful; some are wildly successful but having said that you rarely see white or Asian women in particular with a black that does not have some measurable success.
Lastly, yall know damn well Tiger Woods’ mixed-up (i’m speaking mentally) and confused self would not have considered a black woman, least of all a nanny…I’m going to go out on a limb and say she could have been Bill Gates wealthy, Halle Berry fine, smarter than Einstein…he wasn’t going to marry a black woman.
This is too much! Celebrities just make family after family, and havebaies after babies. What happen to the sacredness of marriage and the genuiness of family
@ fatima, i can name a few celebs: mick jagger, clint eastwood, george lucas, gabriel aubry of course :), de niro has always had a black woman, chris noth, jason lewis dated rosario dawson, i don’t know names of any ceos
The color complex thing IS really sad and I am new here but I have noticed it too. Nothing wrong with mixed children, and I am mixed, but when it’s a rarity to see a black child, there is a sad problem.
where to start. i love all races. i see beauty in all races. i’m a brown skinned mixed with chinese. my mother is part chinese part african and my father is african. i have managed to date interacially. but everyone has a point here.when it comes to love i think we should look beyond race. but honestly i think african men are drawn to lightskinned women whether they’re latino asian bi-racial white or indian because they want to have what the white man considers to be beautifulsexy or attractive.and they don’t realise it. now there are some white men who consider black women beautiful but all in all ads magazines movies tv.shows all promote the lighter skinned woman of any race more than a darkskinned african woman. indians discriminate within their own race as africans do since we come in varied shades. the lighter skinned indian shun the darker skinned ind and so too with some africans. within all of this money status and class play a key role but i’m not angry about that because we have come a long way and still have far to go. in the mean time i think dark skinned african women should embrace themselves, be happy with who they are, love their beautiful chocolate brown skins and ignore the african brothers who don’t see us or the other inter-racial brothers wo don’t think we’re attractive enough. we just need to continue to have class and brains and work harder at success. we’re great women too.denzel washington knows it. he honoured his beautiful wife paulette whom many have frowned upon and don’t acknowledge but mr. denzel does. and i admire hie fortitude. not feeling like he missed out on something having the whte wife of the asian wife etc. he pcked and he picked well.i’m proud of him. so let’s embrace the beautiful brown sisters, the white sisters and other races that our black men choose and love ourselves for who we are and not feel threatened or sour. it’s rough but i think if we reject those feelings of doubt as though we’re not good enough we’ll always feel we have to complain. all women are beautiful.
his baby is adorable.
i hope he’s happy this time around
NOBODY IS SAYING, THAT BLACK WOMEN OWN BLACK MEN, BUT THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH, PEOPLE SHOULD CHOOSE PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE, NOT JUST FOR THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN LIKE SOME PEOPLE DO.ALL SHADES OF COLOR CAN BE BEAUTIFUL, THEN AGAIN ALL SHADES OF COLOR CAN BE UGLY, SOME PEOPLE ACT LIKE ALL LONG HAIRED, LIGHT SKINED, OR INTERACIAL PEOPLE ARE BEAUTIFUL. IT’S YOUR FEATURES ON YOUR FACE MAKES YOU LOOK A CERTAIN WAY,NOT ONLY HAIR AND COLOR. I ONCE MEET A MAN, WHO SAIDIF HE SAW TWO WOMEN STANDING TOGETHER, AND ONE IS DARK AND OTHER IS LIGHT, HE WOULD CHOOSE THE LIGHT SKIN ONE FIRST EVEN IF THE DARKER WOMAN WAS PRETTIER, THEN IF THE LIGHT SKIN WOMAN REJECTED HIM, THEN HE WOULD MOVE ALONG TO THE DARK SKIN WOMAN.I’AM A MEDIUM BROWN SKIN SISTER, AND SOME PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE COMING FROM!
I love how everyone is wasting timE arguing over african american skin tones and what this man likes. The reality is..He has jumped ship! Shes not Black!! This is not about color complex lol, hes sick and tired of all of you!
Hello Everyone,
I think what upsets me about interracial dating is the hypocrisy of it, all of a sudden black men have so much in common with white women. I agree that it is self hatred that intrigues black men to white women they truly believe that dating white women opens doors they would not normally be privilaged to. I see black celeberity men making statements like ” I want a light skin girl or I prefer a latina” there is no regards to how that might make the young brown skin girl growing up feel. When I see black men with white women nowadays it simply makes me laugh because I know that he is not only lost but gone forever. With that being said black men continue to do your self hatred thing because it drawns sisters like me further away because I personally would not want to associate myself with someone that ignorant and if white women want our low self esteem, self hating, ignorant, and lost black men by all means take them because it leaves us with the real black men. PARTY ON!!LOL..
Wow! Really?? How dare anyone assume what their relationship is based on. Perhaps they just have the right chemistry and love each other.. It looks like Kenny is happy standing by his woman and baby.. and if you ask me, that is a real man. To call black men ignorant, with low self-esteem, because they didn’t chose YOU.. makes you the ignorant one.
This woman, Nicole Pantenburg, is indeed half-black, half-white. Her mother is black; her father Jewish. The woman pushing the baby carriage is most likely the nanny.
Wow, have known Nikki for years and she is not black or mixed. And the woman pushing the stroller is her mother.
Sense i actually took time to blog.. i hope someone reads this esp pertaining to white n black, racial mobo-jumbo,how can you not agree with those who said its based on love! which is all that matters, how could you not AGREE?? esp those who say they r dark skinned r mixed r whtever, look within your own family, i guarantee, if you have siblings…some r lighter, darker, farer, diff eyes, from here and there…
Would you be mad that your lighter skinned sister/brother/cousin get chose over you or would (s)he be excluded from you ignorance based on relation???
if you all honestly think about it, no one is a ONE particular race, been this way for as long as we can read in history books, we have light skinned men/wmen do the our ancestors dipping and dapping, no just on todays’ men, the bigger picture is who you want to be with n love, not who we blog about want to be with, their minds are evidently made up! if you dont like to go outside ya race DONT!!!
We judge others and expect not to receive this type of treatment later in life…. lol whats funny is we turn these famlies into a spectacle, they have children, feelings and a life…they R only people n yet we break our necks just to see them even if is thru pictures….the things people say, SMH!!!!
