DONOVAN MCNABB EXPECTING FOURTH CHILD
Eagles’ quarterback Donovan McNabb and his wife, Raquel, are expecting their fourth child in December. The couple are already parents to twins Sariah and Donovan Jr(born December 2008) and daughter Alexis((born in September 2004).
In related news, Donovan and his wife have partnered up with the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Virtua Voorhees hospital to help raise $2.5 million in funding for a new NICU unit. Donovan and Raquel have already made a six-figure donation to help with the construction of the new NICU. The unit, which is scheduled to be opened in 2011, will be named the McNabb Family Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. All of McNabb’s children were born at the hospital.

Nice family pics. It does seem a bit petty to notice the details that his wife is black (darkskinned and average from what I can tell from the pics vs stunningly beautiful) and that they are married, but I’d be frontin’ if I say I didn’t notice that and smiled to myself
Too much in the media about some black male athletes with children all over the place, some married doing this and not. And on a lesser note, they do tend to “outmarry” more and more it seems(this has been statistically documented and not just by pics on BCK) along with other black male celebrities and other higher earning, higher educated black males-but that there doesn’t seem to be a dearth of unmarried desirable black women to choose from??–but then again, who am I to police what pool they pick from, freedom of choice is grand for the most part.
I do hope this beautiful portrait continues for this happy seeming family. He seems like a talented and overall good guy.

Happy someone said it. I’m a McNabb fan (him personally, not the team…GO Cowboys…lol), so I’m happy to see he found love with an average black woman. Of course, whomever anyone finds love with is their business. But it just appears when brothers come up, they leave average black women behind.

I agree with everything you all have said. May this family continue to be blessed.

Wow…an actual ” BLACK” family. What are the odds??? and he is a football player at that…..it’s like-it’s like some kind of dream. I didnt know black athletes still married black women….and a dark skinned black woman to top if off. Im just in shock right now, i thought this concept of “BLACK” family had become extinct. I am happy to see this.

Okay, im try to explain this to you with the right words
Dang near every post has these black guys with white woman or these black women with white men, when you come across a black women and a black man you cheer. It just great to see black <3
now im not knocking interracial, i lovve interracial, the more people that you can make black, the better. but sometimes you just gotta cheer when you see things like this.

You ladies sound lie some bier women. If these men don’t wan you hen find someone who appreciaes your beauty. They are allowed o dae/marry who hey want. I am not attracted to dark sinned men so I married a white men who was attracted to black features. I am happy and could care less who someone else dates.

Monica, some who comment may be bitter (I think that is the word you were trying to use) and some are not. It is none of my business who dates who. I don’t care that much, but I do take notice, I’ve got eyes and I don’t see white men of means, flocking to marry the many available and desirable black women out here. They seem to be content with their “own” as a whole. Like, most times, tends to gravitate towards like–identification, associations and connections tend to form a little easier–but what do I know. Even that can be an allusion to a certain degree because the heart of this is admittedly based on some seemingly superficial things like appearance, certain shared life experiences, and notions of heritage and community. That said, I don’t think that it is because of some ” A-ha” moment of enlightenment regarding dismissal of any allusion of a shared community or heritage that so many black men are now “outmarrying/dating” I think unfortunately it is something far more superficial and vexing than that, in not all, but too many instances.
I am also of the ilk that there is someone out here for everyone> Black women will increasingly need to date outside of their “perceived” comfort zone as I don’t really see an end to the increase of “outmarrying/dating” by black men and that the pool of eligible/desirable black men contines to dwindle for other reasons as well.

It is a funny thing you say that;
my cousins school did a study, they went around asking men what race of women did they find the most attractive. When they asked white men the answer was white women, Indian men said indian women, Jewish men said Jewish women, puerticans said puerticans, Dominicans said Dominicans, mulatoos with white mothers said white women.
The study basically showed that most men will choose what ever race there mothers are as the most attractive race.
However notice i did not say black men. because black men were most likely to say any OTHER race BESIDES african american. Even thought there mothers are african americans.<<<DO U SEE THE PROBLEM NOW?

BB, I don’t now what happened to my double t, lol. I understand what you are saying but lying around complaining about someone who doesn’t want you makes you seem bitter. I have never had a problem attracting any man that I wanted. Maybe it is my confidence? I have dated white men all of my life. My husband is about to take the bar and I am in graduate school. Black women complain about who black men want yet they walk around doing everything in their power to look like these women. Be yourself and let the world see the unique beauty of black women. You walk around with a head full of fake hair yet you whine when a man wants a woman with her real hair. My husband loves every kink and coil of my natural hair and so do I. Be yourself! Be confident in yourself and yoy WILL attract a man that love you for you!

Monica, thanks for letting us know that you are educated and so is your man so we can know what “caliber” of black woman you are. Good for you, I suppose.
But, you missed my point. The word I was trying to use in my other post is “illusion”. Whether or not the idea of heritage,culture and community are just that as well as the need to associate or identify more closer with those we deem we have more in common with on those grounds. I really don’t think it is just an illusion, but agree that sometimes it is given more weight and merit than warranted, but I can’t dismiss my own notion of a collective black conscious,community and affiliation. Is it then not that far reaching to think that one would typically choose to mate/date/marry along those lines? Whites do think like this 9 times out of ten as shown by their own choices, and I know this doesn’t necessarily make them a racist–science also has proven otherwise with babies, because by nature humans do categorize and affiliate and usually group along “like”, with “like”.
Yes, the world is shrinking and many experiences and communities are being blended into gray, but we haven’t gotten to a “color blind” society yet, I don’t even think it is possible. So in the meantime of things—meaning as they are now, why the noticeable increase in the passing over of a black woman (or man–though less common) in preference of a white or other?—Just Chance? or preference? and if preference what underlies it…latent self-hatred, brainwashing, or a grass is greener mentality?
Re: your previous post. In case you haven’t noticed, many black men are still darkskinned like Donovan even in this age of increased mixing and unlike you, many black women are still attracted to this. But I am happy for you that you have found your “white knight”
Last note, I do agree wholeheartedly with you about having and exuding confidence and leaving open dating options. I am not against interracial dating as a whole, just questioning some people motives. Me thinks it is more to do than about some black women ditching weaves and indulging in self love …

So beautiful! I’m shocked for once. An athlete who is married to a black woman, is so rare. I wish their family the best.

This is “Black Celebtrity Kids” and I believe most of us frequent this site to see “Black” families. Please don’t get upset when someone celebrates the beauty created from black love, that is the purpose of this site.

Monica- My husband is not my “white” knight! He did not save nor rescue me. I can take care of myself. I met him, wanted him and got him. If he was walking around with a jheri curl, gold teeth and bling hanging from his neck, I would not have been attracted to him. If I wanted a thug, I would not want a wannabe. Same goes for black women trying to achieve white standards of beauty. It is ridiculous! It is ridiculous for our young black girls too. They look at Beyonce and Tyra and think that is the epitomy of beauty when the true beauty is underneath the bleach and lace fronts. I still say, why would a black man who is attracted to the European standars of beauty want a woman with hair glued or swen on their head when he can get the real thing. I honestly think we would be better off representing our true seles. We are helping perpetuate the problems you address. JMO

Monica rest it already.
Several lengthy posts later and you still don’t get it. It is not even simply about white beauty, the striving after it or black women’s insecurities, but you go on and on, have you truly stared down the insecurities about your own black features–why you think that is foremost in black women’s mind? hmmm
–its mainly about calling out black males who have bought into the WHOLE package and idea that white is right, ideal, better–get it? or those who lump all black women into some kind of negative media driven stereotype ala sapphire, jemima, loud, etc, without giving a black woman a chance to even express her individuality…
That said, have a nice life with your white knight (you are college educated it was just a figure of speech),I meant white husband

BB- you are the one who keeps responding to my posts. The message must speak loudly to you. Keep whining and complaining a/b not being able to get a man and die an old spinster. Stop hating . Peace and thank-you, my white husband and I are having a fabulous life!

Monica, it takes 2 and here’s my last attempt at the last word
, but I bet you will reply yet again. I have had little issue attracting men, particularly when I was younger, at times you’d think I was Halle Berry or something–not that I think I am all that, but I wonder at times how much my light skin may have had something to do with it? I am not naive and know that there are SOME “color struck” men out here. I am not the “anti-interracial-hook-up girl,” just anti discrimination within my own “race”.
I have beautiful brown daughters and hope they will not be relegated to the bottom of the heap of the mating pool when they come of age for some arbitrary reasons–by other races of men and sadly by their own. But it is more to it than about them. You boast “proud black” and all that jazz and in an earlier post you put down the majority of black men by saying you don’t like darkskinned as if you are voiceing your opinion over the color of a shirt. How telling. No wonder you are clueless to another point of view, as you sound like the black men some of the women on this board are pointing out as seemingly narrowminded and oddly biggoted in their mate preferences.
No, I don’t hate you, your proported confidence, your black features or your white man. I don’t know you. But what I don’t like are condescending people who can’t see another point of view when the obvious is staring them in the face.

Maybe you just did not find an African American man who loves his mother. I am certain had you found one who does and asked him what woman he found most attractive, he would have stated an African American woman. Please stop making generalized statements when it comes to human beings ways of thinking. It is just too complex.

Just because one’s spouse is rich does not entitle her to lay up and spit out as many children as she can. She should stop now before she ends up like Nicole Murphy and Shack’s wife or ex-wife. What I am trying to say is I believe men get tired of alot of children or because there are so many, the wife does not have enough time for him most of the time. So it is something to think about girls if you are fortunate enough to marry a rich man.
