Her oldest son is cute. The twins hmmm I can’t decide if they look like her or the dad but I think it’s the dad cause of the eyes. Isn’t it funny how even though they’re both light one has lighter features overall vs. the other. They’re cute babies doesn’t look like they were having a good day though.
Her son is kinda fine for a young whipper-snapper!
Wow…her eldest is a very looking young man. I’ve never seen a pic of him!
I seen one pic of her son from a distance. Happy to see them all together.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a real picture of Oliver. I still pictured him as a little boy in my mind. He’s a nice looking young man.
Beautiful family. Oliver has grown up!
Oliver is a handsome young man!
her son oliver is very handsome. He reminds me of Tyler Perry a little
Go’on girl! You look marv, and with an 18 year old, very good looking son. Nice fam.
Beautiful fam
Finally we see the son lol. Handsome
Oliver is such a handsome boy!
Oliver is cute!!!
No matter how hard i try, GArcelle dude just does not look right he always look like he just woke up and threw something on. his eyes are always droopy well ma dude just dont be looking right. Has nothing to do cause he white or nothing he never be looking fresh
WHAT????
Beautiful family…Garcelle has three handsome sons.
it’s nice seeing thme all together
Yes, I am at it again!! What is up with the sisters??? Can’t find a good brother??? Well, the eldest son is a handsome black man!! I hope that he continues to keep his confidence in being black, since his mom went and procreated with a sleezy looking white man…Okay I’ll be back…
That’s another thing, why is it that a black brother gets with a somewhat pretty white girl, but the black sister has to settle for some white reject….Well, Bradd Pitt is taken????
No, I’ll stay there.. cause black people need to know that the plantation still exists…. Where are the fields; our jobs, the media, OUR MINDS!!!! Since when did we get to good for one another???
Trust when I tell you that I’m not prejudice, just aware and informed!! Together that makes a targeted, bad black female!!
did u ever consider that most people chose their partners because they love them, respect them or just get along well together? NOT because of how they look or wat damn colour they are? its about time all of us stop seeing colour and jus see people!
hanaboo,
That sounds lovely.. but color will play a part in this country until it exists no more… It’s not being prejudice, it’s about being informed.. What really can that white man teach that young black brother about being a black man in America???
In order for us to remove ourselves completely from the plantation, we as black people have to recognize when the plantation spirit is in operation and get rid of the plantation mentality.
Excuse me Tee Tee…but don’t ya think that if Garcelle wants to marry and white and have kids with him…that is her business…HANNIBOO. If this is how you feel…make sure YOU never get caught slipping looking at white man either. I’m just sayin…I can’t wait till this country is sooo mixed that nobody knows you are for PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
You are s-o-o-o color-blind and liberal … aren’t you?
There’s not a predjudiced bone in your body … is there?
Yes, one day the U.S may be a mixed populace, like Brazil.
Even if this happens, ya’ know what. People will differentiate themselves based on “You are light beige and I prefer DARK beige people”.
Hey, it’s human nature. No one is COMPLETELY without prejudice.
I am liberal and I am would like to be color blind…but OBVIOUSLY…in this world people just want let you as much as you might try. I’m 100% black but if i’m attracted to a white man or whatever he is and he is everything that i’m looking for in a guy then i’m going to hop on it. I do understand its human nature and all but in the end IT IS the couple’s decision to live however they want…i’m sure she knew the criticisms tht would come with her decision…so if she can live with it and he can…why can’t y’all(y’all as in people that don’t even know her OR have anything to do with her life)
Well in most relationships the female is better looking then the male (white-black-asian or watever). But I assume that Garcelle is truly inlove with this man.
And I would assume that black sistas can’t find a good brother with a lot of them being in jail, with a white girl, gay, abusive or just all around trifling. That’s why black women are looking outside the racial box and are dating white, hispanic, and Asian men in higher numbers than ever.
And Jessica that is sad.. Why give up on the African King?? Okay, I feel you, some are out there and trifling, but there are some black kings out there that have their head on right, working, doing the right thing, and will honor and respect the black queen.
Honestly, I think Garcelle is into the Hollywood thing!! The black Hollywood women (not all but a great number)want a yellow, curly head baby these days; while the white people are adopting the African babies!! Hello Halle Berry and countless others.. Why?? The nappy head isn’t in anymore!! It’s not Hollywood!
What?? That’s were their thinking…
Sounds like self-hate to me!! Black on Black crime!!!
I don’t feel that black men or women should limit themselves or people of any race limiting themselves to people of their race and/or religion. Black women aren’t giving up on black men (I’ve seen countless girlfriends wait around until a good enough black guy comes around) they’re are just branching out until they find the right man regardless of race or color.
But I agree that the media has always shunned dark skin black Americans and it’s sad. Cute black girls don’t get the recognition that they deserve but hating on Garcelle and her beautiful boys isn’t going to change anything. We need to write to advertising companies that they need to be more inclusive. Life imitates art and until dark-skinned black girls are appreciated in the media out self-esteem will continue to plateau or even plummet instead of rise.
She probably couldn’t find a good, black man. Heck, most women would settle for ONE good man. So explain what the chances are of finding a non-commitment-phobic, non-cheating, God-fearing, wants kids, ready to settle down, has a job, has a ride, has a place, college-educated, not a mamma’s boy, good man…………and then he has to be black on top of that. Girl, please. That’s how you end up in your 40’s not married; or better yet, SETTLING.
Sisters, catch a good man while you can. The brothers are doing it. Like my BLACK husband tells me all the time, “You don’t understand. The pickings are slim for us too.”
i love those little twins lol
Tee Tee:
I am one sista who so does NOT agree with you! And yeah girl…you ARE racist…!
Yasmine,
I’m not racist, I’m informed. I have many white friends.. The white race for many years manipulated thee black race back to the plantation and they don’t even know it….
Okay, look at the media… How often do you see actual black kids on commercials or movies(not mixed kids)?? How many black educational shows are on T.V. for black children??
We are trying to imitate them..because we are being taught that white is right and black is wack… It’s subliminal…
The results are our children thinking that their hips are fat or their darkeness is ugly, or their wide nose is too big, or that their super curly hair should be permed..
They cute
Dubois wrote, “the problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color line.” But I think we all know that it’s the problem of the 21st century, as well. This is not a post-racial America. Racism is still institutionalized. Young Black men are still getting profiled and murdered by police…even when they don’t do or sell drugs, beat their loved ones or act ‘trifling’.
But what does any of what I wrote have to do with Garcelle Beauvais’ choice of mate and her children?
Depending on what side of the divide you are on it either means little or a whole lot, yet, the world keeps on spinning. Garcelle looks happy and her family looks happy. Her choice of mate will probably not solve America’s racial problem, nor will Obama being POTUS.
Issy your right …. umm he always seems like he was in the basement and they dust him off for pics..lol! I’m sure he makes her happy.
Jessica … tell it like it is boo.
Monique.. U tell her too.
I see things like this.. We want blackmen.. But they don’t all want us..some post they would rather be with white, spanish, and asian woman. Tears.. Having a flashback of when a darkskinned 13y/o male said if I was light skinned I would be fine as hell.. I don’t find myself running to the black male for help..can hardly find a brother.. Yes and they are getting killed, and they are still killing each other.. The goal here is to try to raise our boys to love the color of their skin. Trust me one of those twins will date a black woman. Love live life Tee.. Love, live life..(dropping my mic)
I think Garcelle looks pretty damn shameful to me. Every pic that i see of her she is usually holding the blonde one. I think the darker haired one is cuter just my opinion. I hope she loves them all 3 of them equally. she just comes off as goofy or even giddy just cause they have llight hair and eye color as if that’s something unusaul I think she’s color struck to tell the truth. There’s nothing worng with having biracial children but don’t act like it’s some sort of phonomena when they come out looking like either parent. That’s NORMAL!
I do think us black women need to marry and procreate with black men. That being said I’m in the same boat as Garcelle. I don’t mean to come off as hipocritical, because I’m currently with a white man(at least mine is fine
lol). Seriously though that dude is dusty lookin lol but I digress.
If for whatever reason my relationship ends I’m dealing strictly with brothers. Period. If we don’t our race will end up in a frozen state of self hate. I really wish I had come to this understanding 4 years ago before I got with my man. I’m so afraid of getting pregnant from him it’s truly sad. He doesn’t undetstand why and I don’t tell him I just keep postponing it. I already have a biracial child from a previous relationship. My son looks more hispanic than white. I would be so afaid of having a blonde blue eyed baby who would later dis his or her black side because of the media. That’s my biggest feart is raising a child only to have them grow up to dis me because I’m black.It happens quite often still and it’s REAL! Garcelle has no clue what she’s gotten her self inot. Everytime I see her looking so damn goofy about her blonde son’s appearance I just think it’s sad and shameful. It’s not just her it works the other way around as well many of our black male celebs are just plain giddy at the sight of their white looking children. If you ask me I’d dare say slavery has gotten much worse since Jim Crow, worse becuase they got us to believe in their superiority. Now we lining up on red carpets with our FDA approved grade white husbands and wives and Massa approved chillun. DISGRACE. Myself included but I refuse to have anymore halfbreeds and if my man mess up it’s over and I’m going straight for a brother anything other than dark choclate need not apply.
BTW my 9 year old son has already dissed me for his father’s side. He saw a baby pic of his blonde blue eyed cousin and asked mommy is that me I said of course not that’s your cousin. He had the nerve to look at me like he was disapppointed. I have tried to raise my son with that biracial appreciate both side garbage only to have it backfire on me. He said he wish he was white that’s why he recently chose to live with his fahter. Never again. I raised that boy on my own since birth now look.
