FIRST!!! HOLLA!!

Right all his women are models.

She is pretty but what’s wrong with her leg?

Whatever short man. I love when brothas think that chicks are so crazy for them. She only wants you because you’re a singer…if you we’re walking down the block said chic wouldn’t even be checking for you….

I know thats right… Glad he knows that, alot people dont know that no matter what u do, people are always goin to judge, and once u block them out & do you, life is much more simpler…

Go head JL, do you…

I don’t think people trip because she’s “hot”, I think people trip because he’s NEVER been spotted with a Black woman and all his girlfriends have the same “exotic” look. I love John Legend, but as someone else stated, if he were just a dude on the block, none of these “hot” women would give him the time of day!

yeah you said it right Harlem chic!! I agree

Why you have a few coins OF COURSE these “exotic” chicks will be after you. Any other time, they wouldn’t even care about you. I guess when you get a few dollars, black women are no longer good enough. I’mjussayn’…

Black men always try to justify dating outside of their race. It sounds like a guilt thing to me. How bout you do what you do & stop giving a fu*k about what people think. Seems like you’re the one with the problem.

Like these women with all this plastic surgery… They pay all that money still get disparaged & talked about.. Teased in all the tabloids..

“The key to a life long romance is to love yourself first”.. Then you wouldnt give a damn what people think, b/c no matter what, theyre still goin to find something to scorn you about…

I dont think that when men date white woman that means that black woman are no longer good enough.. Simply means they dont discriminate.. Theres nothing wrong with that.. I guess it takes an optimistic person so see things in a positive light.. Negative people with always see things 1 dimensional & close minded…

@ Taj, another hater. What’s really goin’ on? This brother can’t get him an exotic woman of color? Damn.

I don’t care who anyone dates. To each his own. If the girl makes him happy that’s all that matters. He’s right about the regular girl thing. Usher takes more heat than anyone who dates model chicks exclusively. He even takes more heat than dudes who date white women. All because his girl is not a model type.

lol there’s no way she gives head though…

@taj… “I guess when you get a few dollars, black women are no longer good enough. I’mjussayn’…”

I feel you on that..My boy made an observation in his state of Ohio..He said every black chick on campus that he thought was fine dated white guys..Not that they did it because of bad past experiences with black men, but because the way those women grew up…lol it is Ohio..So I think it happens a lot more on the other side too…

Who gives a F**K! Let black men do what ever they want to do.

I’m pround of JL. That right do you and don’t worry about any one else if you’re happy that is all that matters. JL did date a sister Jessica White the super model and he date another sister. This time around is not a sister. I still say what every make you happy go for it JL and if you want a sister check me out next. I ain’t mad at you.

@Bones…lol I feel you…I mean she is attractive and John Legend looks soft, I don’t mean gay, but soft..He’s a crooner so this type chick fits him..A sista would walk all over this dude..real talk

So let me understand this…hot women only date guys with money? Shyeah right! I have seen plenty of foine azz women with dudes that have nothing going on for them but they have game and confidence. As far as John Legend goes; it would always be something…either the women are too light-skinnded, or their hair is not natural enough, blah blah blah. Who cares who he likes? I like full-figured, dark-skin women with natural hair….thats me!

If exotic chicks is what he likes, then hey…no sweat of my back.

Anyhow, he is right…people are going to have stuff to say no matter what you do…so all you can do is DO YOU.

Happiness is hard to find…so when you find it, cherish it.

@Onan

That’s what I’m saying. I never have problems finding black men that love black women. So when I see this, I could give two frigs. We all have our own tastes in the opposite sex.

GTFOH – models aren’t dumb?

(sarcasm ppl)

Can someone please remind me the last time anyone commented on John Legend’s choice of partner…Loves ya Johnny boy but I thought the main concern people had was whether you were sure you actually liked women….hot or not…all that aside….do you….

JL is a sale out and I don’t support sale out. He couldn’t get a sister anyways he’s a down low type of brother. He sale out both ways races and sex. Sale out. And if his black azz didnt’ have any money she would talk to him any ways. He just another OJ, Cuba, Westley type of sale out man. F JL

DISCLAIMER: The last sentence was not a question regarding whether Mr Legend prefered men to women but words of encouragement for Mr Legend to be himself..LOL..!

Everybody has standards… Why does it always come off as some racial identity mumbo jumbo… Im mixed and I date both black/white/mixed up like me, whatever & whoever I want.. Its simple, nothing more, nothing less.. Its whats UPSTAIRS that counts…People always makin a mountain out of a mole hill…

I think that alot of women have said this::

IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE A HIT RECORD AND ALL THAT MONEY,OR DIDN’T PLAY BALL, WHITE WOMEN WOULDN’T EVEN BOTHER!

don’t get it twisted hater’s!( duh, not hatin-i’m just sayin, hahahahha)

Ummm, yeah that plus the fact that Manreka is like the most tragic looking beard ever.

Everytime jon legend is in LONDON i always see him hand in hand with random white chicks!! jussayin!

I see him all the time. As a matter of fact I just saw him in the pic posted above.

Now if you mean meeting him, then that’s a horse of a different color.

i thought he was gay?

Holla at a sistah!!! LOL!

Wow…this REALLY is a site where one can live out one’s dreams and fantasies, because 98% of you all are most definitely lying about pulling models, when I am sure most of you couldn’t pull a card out of a deck!

She looks regular to me…nothing that serious, she look like a VS model…same ole stuff…

Well, people theres a difference between a METROSEXUAL and a HOMOSEXUAL.

I really hate most of these qoutes from celebrities. Most of them turn into incoherent ramblings in the middle and then just drift off into the absurd.

My only question for John Legend would be to ask him what he means by “kind of regular.” Now that would be a good qoute.

I have to say as an African woman living in the UK, I can see that Black Americans are more hung up on Black men dating White women than any nation that I know. If the Black athletes/musicians et al want to knock themselves out with crazy white women,let them be,its what we call in the motherland, a throwback to colonial mentality! Sad but true! Its the same thing in the UK with all the premiership footballers and their blonde chicks!

However I hardly ever date Black men myself, its not a deliberately concious decision on my part, cause I would love me a fine Mandigo brother to take back to my mother.However the Black men I meet are mostly trifling, wanna be gangstas or if they are successful, they are typically cheating dogs! I am just not attracted to that, so I take advantage of living in a globalised world and date inter-racially! I love it! I urge my Black sistas to do the same! United Nations all the way!! and personally I think white guys are more eager to please in bed anyways!!!

She is gorgeous. Whatever makes you happy… Those that worry about men dating other races… take care of yourself, work out and work on yourself spiritually, etc. and you will be fine. Stop worrying about what everyone else is doing. I have no problem getting men of all types. I find that men like attractive women that are fun and pleasant to be around.

Vinandi,

You must not be Nigerian then. Nigerian chicks give the impression that they should have first rites to Nigerian men even when it comes to other black chicks.

Lastly, as a black woman you have no choice but to accept black men dating white women in the UK. I live in the UK and used to live in London. Do you ever see black men with black women? A bunch of chavy white girls with greasy hair wearing tacky gold jewelry pushing thier mixed race babies around.

@ Bones, I don’t think that it so much is NOT COOL in the black community being a metrosexual but that it is not practiced….being straight up scruff McGruff is not cute either, I’m not saying spend a whole day @ the Spa but please wash them DAMN JEANS! LOL!

dating a girl that’s kind of regular? What is that supposed to mean?

JL is just dating all the girls he couldn’t get when he was in high school.

@Kigali

I am 100 per cent not Nigerian, Zambian all the way!! You are so right about that, Nigerian girls are crazily possesive over their men! I made the mistake of dating the hottest guy at Uni and received the evilest looks ever for months,I was enemy number one! They are not like other African women, they’re a special case!! lol

**because

@ Kigali

Valid point to about the lack of Black on Black relationships in LDN, even the fugliest brother who couldnt get a date back home, hooks up with some chav! Thats why I say do your own thing!!

@Vinandi, for me growing up in Manchester, it was a smorgasbord of cute guys & NONE of them were black lol. I cannot lie, a little over a year ago I would have have been the one asking why can he not at least find ONE sista to date but now I can honestly say I don’t care. Black Couples are just not in vogue these days. Our relationship with each other are broken. So I went back to my roots (as most of you already know I a mixed anyway) & can honestly say its a whole lot less stressful & much more enjoyable. JL do you & if she’s where you heart is at then so be it. Nothing we can say or do to change that.

“Forget about the worrrrld, I’m groovin with my girrrrl…” Lol…John Legend said f-ya’ll…

I never thought i would see the day when a rich successful celeb would get hated on because his dates are too goodlooking and exotic.

Alot of insecurity in some black women here and its being passed off as “keepin it real”. Its a shame these women arent being checked by fellow sistas because its not cute at all.

Who cares who he dates? How many women can honestly say that they would hollar at him if he wasn’t JL? He is very sweet looking. He looks too timid.

@ FyreStarrter

Truedat!!! You go girl!!

I was up in Manchester last week and boy are they are some cute white guys up there! I went to Uni in Portsmouth the local guys weren’t that hot, but the European exchange guys! wow, talk about smoking!

Basically if someone treats treats me well, makes me laugh and we have special connection, then I think race is non-issue! simple as!!

@Vinandi and Kigali

You are both idiots.

Vinandi,

Crazy. Youre Zambian? LOL I met this Zambian dude not too long ago. Four baby mommas with four kids. Yes, Nigerians are a special case. No one likes Nigerians except other Nigerians and even that is a tenuous affection and political/socially expedient.

@Junglecat – I second that motion! They are idiots.

I say good for all these self hating Blacks out here. Go, go run far, far away with whomever so long as they are NOT BLACK! The less we have self hating Black folk procreating with other Blacks, the more likely we will eventually purge all of this diseased though from the real Black family. And then, by golly, we will be well on our way to reclaiming the Black family and thus our communities as a whole.

There are alot of cute white guys in London though. But I have to say the African guys take it. Some of the Asians can be cute when they dont have those weird hair cuts and are very short.

Who the hell cares what ethnicity his woman is? I mean seriously now…we are the 1st to point fingers at someone being racist towards Black people BUT we do the same shyt everyday.

You better chose your mates based on their character rather than their skincolor.

Anyways, she is a pretty gyrl…good for him. If thats what he likes than hey more power to JL. I’m with whoever said they are just glad to see him with a woman lol.

isn’t he gay?

Just another brother whose into “WHITE MEAT”. And of course its easier to get when you’re in the entertainment bussiness or sports. White women be coming at in all direction. But if thats what makes your boat float,ENJOY!!!!

Nothing puts a bad taste in your mouth like a self hating black person. It’s so very obvious and if you ask an honest white person they’ll tell you just how embarrassed they, themselves are to be around someone black who revels in Black people down.

I see these “people” all the time. You know for example, your in the check out line and the cashier is a black man/or woman (typically it’s a woman but I’ve experienced this from a few simple dudes too) and they are making polite conversation with all the whites or other races in front of you, then it’s your turn and all of a sudden, no eye contact, no proper greeting, and if you should by chance ask this negro a question, the answer will be abrupt and without expansion and no eye contact again.

I’ve seen this too many times to mention and what’s worse, this is the treatment we can get from our own, so is it any wonder other races have little to no regard for us as Blacks when we allow so many of these abject idiots to run about “unchecked”? It can be so funny to, on one occasion where this scenario played out, I was content with this chicks poor behavior and was paying her no mind when the cashier at the station right behind me, who happened to be white, started asking me some questions and lightweight flirting, it was so surreal becase no sooner did this white chick start talking did the “sister” who was checking me out, perk up like a bubblin cup of hot coffee and start getting all polite with me and what not!!!

Man after that I was just too through. I’m like so is that what it takes for other blacks to show Blacks respect and common courtesy, someone white to validate us? Geesh just plain madding if you think about it too deep. We got a whole lot of work to do..

lol @ crazy black lady, you know normally I would get VERY upset with you because you are making the incorrect assumption that just because a brotha knows how to DRESS & speaks WELL & is known to be a gentleman that he is GAY!!! But today…ehhh…there’s ignorance all around so I will let that one go!

@Vanandi: LOL, thanx for the cultural exchange observation.

@FyreStarter: when you say you returned to your roots, are you dating a mixed race person or a white person. No judgments here, just asking

As far as JL is concerned, great songwriter, but as a singer, I have heard his material sung so much better by others. Who cares what he does. Next

Mista O

I concur bro.

Back in the day, i worked construction. I was a-top a building,setting beams,and a group of college girls waling up.First there was a black girl. She looked uip at me and frowned. Then all she white(friends?) walked up and started SHOUTING AND KAT-CALLED–THE TYPICAL WHITE-GIRL WOOH–HOO!)

that’s when the black black girl joined in with the same actions….I WAS SO HURT THAT OUR PEOPLE MUST SEEK VALIDATION….

I don’t know which words are worse:

validation, apathy,or toleration!

walked up

@About it, actually my new beau is from Serbia. & when I say roots, I dated exclusively european, asian, etc men LONG before the first time I ever dated a black man.

@tiray – Yep, it’s refreshing another Black man is sufficiently conscious enough to recognize these shananagins. A lot of “sisters” (those who remain sleep) don’t think we recognize these slights.

Funny but if you think those scenarios are something, get a job or do business “inside” corporate America. The dichotomies that exist between Black men and women are on full display. I’ve worked in office environments of upwards of 400-500 employees and was only one of maybe 4 Black men.

And the same thing from most of the black women. They would be all bubbly and what not with other races but let a brother come in and it’s all on lock. Funny thing is again, no sooner did some white or hispanic chick start checking the same sister on front, would be trying to holler.

But I must keep it honest here to, there were also plenty, plenty of straight up real down, no fronting real type Black women! And trust, they made functioning inside very bearable and most of them would look out for a brother real strong like. Those are the sisters a brother never forgets and cherishes!!

I know that JL’s girlfriend is a model. Is she currently a sucessful model now or is she just an arm piece for JL.

@ MistaO

OMG!!!! So true!

@mistao

Calm down dude! I am not self hating! i just dont feel the need to restrict my options in life to one race! How boring, how typical! I could miss out on my soulmate restricting myself to onw race! Unlike u and some punks on this page I am not racist and have no issues interacting with other races!Oh heaven forbid entering into a relationship! We live in a globalised, inter-racial world, deal with it! I suppose u support segregation as well?

Get over yourselves and embrace this free world we live in!

Yep, I agree build a bridge and get over it! I’ve never seen so many weak and insecure people.

What is the controversy? Where i come from, you court a woman who compliments your status. This John Legend is a popular and successful entertainer and barring the squiring of a high school paramour, he is at perfect liberty to woo and attend to the exotic and beautiful models that obviously frequents his events and social circles. It’s nothing more than the natural order of things.

@junglecat

You are an ignoramus!

@ Vinandi

You and Kigali are good examples of what is wrong with the African continent, heck the frigging black race. Instead of finding ways to come together and defeat the imperalism of the West, you’ld rather talk crap about other Africans and ride the white man’s nut sack. I pity people like you with no sense of pride in your roots. Yes Globalism can be a good thing but who does it benefit and who gets f**ked by it. Instead of hating on Nigeria, which by the way is one of the most powerful countries in Africa, why don’t you focus your attention on ways to help your country catch up with Nigeria’s progress.

I am not sure why I even bother to respond to you. Based on your comments on this board, you do not appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed, if I ain’t being too subtle.

The funny thing about that quote is he never said she was NOT dumb. I love the fact that JL has an Ivy League edu. I really admire that while most of his collegues are popping off expensive bottles of champaign & making it rain in strip clubs, JL started the Show Me campaign. I really like that fact that he has made numerous trips to Africa to bring awareness to the level of poverty over there. I can’t help but wonder at the end of the day, what kind of conversation do you have with a 22yr old model that auditioned for your video. I still love you JL. John has the most beautiful lips.

Many of our people deal with the adversity of a non friendly America. Whether it be racism, ignorance or poverty, too many of us carry a great conflict inside that makes us hard to the world.

Unfortunately there are many that find a hard man exciting and attractive but hard females are just ….

I thought that girl was half-black and half-something else. Thai-Norwegian, really? Wow, then again, those people in South East Asia do kinda look black.

They look good together, and I’m a black woman saying that.

What difference does it make. He can date whoever the hell he wants. She’s beautiful and so is he.

He likes her because they both have the same size forehead and lazy eye.

A huge forehead and a lazy eye are the tell tale signs of a studious person….

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Eff exotic, if hes such a LEGEND then he’ll up his swirl game and get him a becky.

Am I the only one who doesn’t think she is all that “hot”?

Key From the City:

I don’t think she’s all that hot. But hey, whatever floats his boat, man. People always have to criticize and I can bet 90 percent of these stooges commenting on her looks in a negative way look like E-40 with the bird flu.

Because she is brite skin with long hair..she is “HOT”, whatever…she is regular she could be Tracey Edmonds, or any other brite skin girl dating to a famous black guy.

John Legend is nothing but a wannabee one hit wonder.

As I posted earlier, I have no issue with thoes blacks who want to, and do, step outside the race. It’s all whateva as far as I’m concerned.

The more who have these leanings the better, as those who remain will be true Black people with a vested interest in seeing our people rise. Not those terribly troubled souls who, in the cover of darkness, quietly wish they were white or of another race.

I would not wish some self defeated and lothing black person such as many of you on any real thinking Black woman or man. And Heaven forbid you’d have any Black children! Lord knows we have far too many mentally damaged self hating Black children out here as it is. We want, and need, only well meaning, fully loving, intact Black families! That is the only way Black people worldwide will reclaim our rightful place on this planet. The family must come first and we should also get deadly serious (see Mexicans) and divorce ourselves of any of these self haters and crab mentalitiy, playful, go along to git along, type negro’s.

I don’t think that too many sisters are upset about John Legend dating outside of his race, who is HE really? His girlfriend is cute with her midgetesque face, if they make each other happy so be it.

“The more who have these leanings the better, as those who remain will be true Black people with a vested interest in seeing our people rise. Not those terribly troubled souls who, in the cover of darkness, quietly wish they were white or of another race. ”

That sounds so wacko to me. It’s reminiscent of Hitler’s wish to keep people separated and not “mix” ethnicities or races. We’re all mixed, you know. I don’t think anyone in this particular country is “pure” anything. I hope, one day, skin color is obsolete because the wish to keep everyone segregated when it comes to creating families is so toxic for our society. I certainly hope none of you who believe this have children you’re teaching this to. It just continues the cycle, as far as I’m concerned.

who cares who he dates? i don’t feel i relate to this dude enough to even care him personally, he don’t no personally or charisma.

stick to music John, stay out of the public eye.

look at them… smile naturally.they are made for each other and i know from

CelebMingle.com that they are happy and many poeple admire them.

He looks so familiar. I saw his profile on the celebrities and millionaires dating site celeb mingle. com last week. It’s said he is interested in dating hotties on that site!

John Legend is nothing but a wannabee one hit wonder.

*******************

Um, actually I think he’s had a few hits but he and Pharell and others like them are into the exotic model type chics. But really, he ain’t in my fam and I don’t care. Just because we listen to these peoples music doesn’t mean we should dictate who/what color people they date.

1) can we stop with all the “exotic” speak. Exotic is a term that should only be used for places and animals and is practically racist when used for people. They used to call Josaphine Baker that when she was performing in Europe, like she wasn’t even human.

2)The term model is being thrown around really loosely these days, especially for women we’ve never seen or heard of until they started dating famous so and so (Porschla Coleman, anyone?). Kim K has more magazine covers and editorials than that girl, and that’s saying a lot. Nobody’s checkin’ for JL’s girl like that.

3)Of course, you find love where you can find it, but there’s nothing wrong in stating the truth about people hiding behind liberalism to be selectively racist. So they’ll say, “Oh I don’t see color . . .” when what they really mean is “I don’t see any color, but black” or “When it comes to dating, I don’t discriminate against any color BUT black”

@kara kor el

I agree!!

Disgusting! When black men get a little money, they forget who they are. They, for whatever reason, think anything other than a brown woman is a prize! Come off your high horses. You’re still an insecure black man no matter how much money you make. Sickening.

@bloop

no, there’s a stigma attached to being black or a racial minority in this country. That wasn’t the case in Hitler’s Germany for Aryans. So when Hitler was talking about the Master Race, he was saying that he wanted to keep Aryans seperate from all others because he thought that all others were inferior. That’s not what Mista O is saying. What O is saying is that he wants to be around those that are Black and proud, even in the face of adversity despite what the media tells people what to glorify (anything other than black), not those who are looking to try to escape, as it were, or those who drink the Kool-Aid about glorifying non-black features and people.

I have a friend who’s works at a law firm owned by Ashkenazi Jews. He’s married to a Syrian Jewish girl. Had she married someone that wasn’t Orthodox or had a gentile in the family tree, She would have been cut off from her family. They value being Jewish even though society tells them not to, and they know that if they all jumped at the chance to intermarry then their community would die.

for some reason i do think black “African American” men with money/celeb status feel even more validated when they have a white, light skinned or bi- racial women on their side. give or take a few black celebs.

Truth

I thought that girl was half-black and half-something else. Thai-Norwegian, really? Wow, then again, those people in South East Asia do kinda look black.

They look good together, and I’m a black woman saying that.

Check up the original inhabitants of South-East Asia such as the Semang, Mani, Aeta and Adamanese.

IF this girl was so “Hot” why doesn’t she have a career like Naomi Campbell or Adriana Lima. Before Johnboy..nobody every heard of her..she doesn’t stand out in the modeling world.

I have not seen them looking like her in FIJI

“1) can we stop with all the “exotic” speak. Exotic is a term that should only be used for places and animals and is practically racist when used for people. They used to call Josaphine Baker that when she was performing in Europe, like she wasn’t even human. ”

I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve been called exotic quite a few times and it offends me infinitely.

“no, there’s a stigma attached to being black or a racial minority in this country. That wasn’t the case in Hitler’s Germany for Aryans. So when Hitler was talking about the Master Race, he was saying that he wanted to keep Aryans seperate from all others because he thought that all others were inferior. That’s not what Mista O is saying. What O is saying is that he wants to be around those that are Black and proud, even in the face of adversity despite what the media tells people what to glorify (anything other than black), not those who are looking to try to escape, as it were, or those who drink the Kool-Aid about glorifying non-black features and people. ”

I’m relating the example to the idea of Black men and women who date outside the race, though. How does dating outside a race make a person less than who they are? I guess because I’m not Black (or White), I can’t seem to grasp the concept, but why is it even an issue?

Hey!You are wrong.They met each other on blackgirlsconnect.com, ’cause i remember that she is the monthly model there.

How stupid do John Legend publicity team think ppl are. I don’t have a problem with out gay ppl but I hate closet cases that try to fool ppl it’s a slap in the face. I understand why he does it but I don’t think he would lose many fans because most of them accept him for who he is already.

J. Holiday hooked up with on of John’s ex beards he’s needs to quit too everyone knows he’s just as queer as John. If I had a son and he started signing I would just have to accept he’s gay.

Bloop… People who meddle into people’s personal choices and find problems with their race have many many issues of their own. The problem lies in the fact that black folks arent calling each other out on racist behavoir the way other races are called out. This gives blacks who happen to be racist a “free ticket” to spout garbage and wear their insecurity on their sleeve without guilt.

Somehow we got to this mindstate where we think we’re the only people allowed to be intolerant.

Do you have any proof that John Legend is gay?

Regardless if thats the case or not, what does it have to do with him making a statement on him not paying people any mind in regards to his choices in female friends?

gosh let’s stop talking about these dudes, man they alwys embarassing us. we just need to forget the brothas for real…

I can’t believe that this one thread has spun into this! In the end, as yourself this: “Do we really give a f@ck?!?!” Last I checked, Mister Legend ain’t pieced together no money for my rent, so I can’t be concerned with what he does.

i feel embarassed when our blck men date other. and i feel hurt when people say ‘he can’t handle black woman’ like we are animals.

can’t we just get over black men already. are they worth it? are we?

How on earth is a rich entertainer dating a multi cultural model embarrassing you??

What kind of sad excuse is this to cover up your shortcomings??

How long are we going to put our heads down make pitiful excuses about why a particular man does want us? This is sad and its getting out of hand.

How about just getting up, washing your face and finding a man that wants you instead of sobbing over some celebrity’s decision to date someone that doesnt look like you.

OK – so can’t use the word “exotic” when describing a person. Lemme add that one to the list.

What’s a quick word I can use for someone whose race I can’t identify and they look like they caught hold of a innertube and set sail from some small island? Help me out here.

They make such a fierce couple (KanGAY and John that is..)And just one more thing, John Legend – HOW U DOIN???

@ Real Talk like a mutha….what do you mean by coons?

Real quick, one last thing for the day: I believe many of these “blacks” (I use quotes because I’m more than certain many posting to these purported Black boards are of other races attempting to keep our mentalities and outlooks weak) who wax poetic about loving everybody and what not are quite narcissistic and delusional at best.

What people fail to recognize is the overwhelming mental damage done to Black people during and since Slavery. Recognize, we as a people have never truly addressed our history and it’s associated pain. Therefore, having not been fully or even remotely healed (as a people) we are still saddled with slave type mentality blacks who have an enduring and undying love for all other races over their own. And many of these people will fight a consicous Black person to no end. They look at other Blacks with disdain and contempt. We honest Blacks can not ever expect to “reach” any of these people as they can directly experience racism, even of a physical nature, and they would still make excuse for their masters.

Look, I aint trying to be sassy or nothing, it’s just liberating throwing what all of us know are true out there for all to see. Trust, it’s just like when a real Black person walks into a room where one of these ole sambos or jamimas is putting on a show, they absolutely hate it and feel immediatley judged. I just find them sad but yet entertaining at the same time.

THINK SHES HOT? CHECK OUT MYSPACE.COM/KANARYDIAMONDS! MA LOOK GOOD

Rasheen and other black men.. OF COURSE YOU DO NOT CARE WHO JOHN LEGEND DATES.. he is a man and you most likely do not date other me so you should not care…

instead of being insensitive towards those “hurt” black women… just let them be…

ever heard the the saying stop kicking someone when they are already down….

@Rashaad you were being very rude…

black men try for once to see what it is like to be in a blk womans shoes… try to see why they feel the way they do… and stop making up lame or rude excuses and insults….

stop pushing them or telling them to date other men of diff races such as white men…

as a black man do you really trust white men… if NO then why do you think blk women should trust and date them if you don’t…. its easy to date wht women…. you never heard of them lynching or committing the most harmonious racist acts..

SO I WILL SAY AGAIN.. put yourself in a blk womans shoes… and stop criticizes because black men are NOT above blk women… i see equal amount of ignorant ghetto low life black men as women…

@Evil Baby,

Calm down. Dont use the qoutes of others to judge me. Yes, there are cute white boys. Its interesting that you would bring up Brad Pitt. Didnt he have a crush on Robin Givens that almost got him in trouble with Mike Tyson? LOL. The irony. Had you read everything I wrote on this subject you would have noticed I dont have a problem with black men dating white women just so long as it isnt because of some antipathy toward black women. Scroll up. Please dont bring up that colonial mentality with me when, in true puritant fashion, attack my sexuality as a woman, when I dont toe the line. How progressive.

*puritan

And we care because…

Isn’t John Legend biracial? He probably has a white mother. That means he’s loving the type of woman he grew up with. Black people need to stop looking for membership. John Legend, Halle Berry, Barak Obama, Shamar Moore, Tiger Woods, etc. are not Black! They are biracial and Black people need to respect that. Sheesh!

whatever! that girl would not be on his arm if he was an avg. joe.

@Rasheen- I don’t care what race the girl who’s bearding him is…she’s not white. Maybe he doesn’t care about the color of someone skin, and that girl he use to “date” was a pretty chocolate model. Last and not least maybe he don’t like chicks with bad attitudes, closed minds, etc. Ppl have the right to have a type and his type is model type.

John give me back the license to my rickety Swag Brand.

God, his face makes me nauseous- and his voice too.

Do your thang John. It’s refreshing to see some young upwardly mobile black men who have seen the light and has realized that the key to real happiness is to spend your every waking moment with a beautiful non-black queen in your arms.

To you angry black women, please understand that this is in no way a slight against you, but lets face it – You’re too argumentative, you tend to gain too much weight, you don’t practice proper vaginal hygiene and last, but not least, you’re more trouble than you’re worth. Other than that, you’re fine…Just not for me or my other upwardly mobile brethren.

Most of those people from Thialand locale have a lot of African mix in them from Tonga , ans south east up until australia aborigines people. So you could see the African ethnicity in her. But technically I think Legend dont like to date black women regardless where they from since he ” MOVED UP” now just like all the other trifling black male celebs who do that (its a damn epidemic with them) thats why I have a problem with it . Not so much cause they dating white, asain whatever just that it seems like they doing out of spite or like its going out style and they betta get it while its hot …just seems so coonish and self hate…and it is emabarrasing to Black Race when black men do that. BECAUSE NO OTHER RACE OF MEN ARE DOING IT TO THAT CAPACITY AND THAT LEVEL. So even when black women date outside race it to can be accepted more because it’s done with the same verocity..as what appears to most (including white people) as self hate.

sorry most wont like this comment cause it cuts deep

but as they say TRUTH HURTS.

CORRECTION.:So even when black women date outside race it to can be accepted more because it’s NOT done with the same verocity..as what appears to most (including white people) as self hate.

Hey the Siamese twins are here. How much for a double header?

@Marquis, Fred, Magoo, two cents etc.

Since when is Legend isn’t bi-racial? you’re trying to come up with reasons to justify why he’s never seen with black women. you’re saying a lot of things uner different aliases, as if we’re not supposed to figure it out, but you’ve been doing it so often, that there’s no mystery in it anymore. We know what you really are, some poor schmuck who spends his life (cause when are you not here) talking nonsense about black women on this site. Come up for air already, or at the very least challange yourself by coming up with a new act.

@junglecat

I reiterate, you are an ignoramus!

Please could you tell me how inter-racial dating is an indication of what is wrong in Africa or to quote you “the frigging black race”? Pray do tell? The point I was trying to make was that, it doesn’t matter who you date, each to his own! Life is too short to be a perpetual hater! Don’t you wish that you didn’t have a chip on your shoulder?

As proud Zambian and African, from Kaseke village , who can trace their roots to the exact hut my great grandmother was born in, I find your comments insulting and your opinion uninformed and I believe this reflects on your own obvious lack of education as opposed to mine. I am International Relations and Politics graduate, who is actually a passionate and active political and human rights campaigner!

What altruistic activities are you engaged in?

other than racist incitement and insulting other Black people?

I am actually allowed to have an opinion on Nigeria, which according to you is “the most powerful African country”, I beg to differ its certainly the most populous, with the most amount of oil, however, only 2% of the proceeds actually go to local Nigerians the rest to American oil companies and it is also ranked 3rd in the world league of the most corrupt nations, sad but true! Do you know Western Union in South Africa had to close because of Nigerian fraud scams? Question, who hasn’t heard of a Nigerian fraud scam?

As for progress? that’s debatable , I know I do not want my country to emulate that part of Nigerian culture! However as an African I hope that country can overcome its issues and succeed as it is in our continents’ best interests!

But anyway, I digress….

Anyone with half a brain knows that Neo liberalism and the unfair terms of trade, as set by your Government and its economic institutions ( IMF, World Bank et al) is the reason why Africa and the global South, is in economic turmoil. Fair enough our corrupt politicians do not help the cause and Africa has to take responsibility for that, but the sad truth is, that Africa can not and will not be allowed to develop successfully, it is not in America and other Western nations interests to see Africa develop, we would become an economic and political threat to American hegemony and Neo-imperialistic ambitions! This is called the Hegemonic stability Thesis ( read about it),it basically means that there is a finite amount of money and resources in the world and the current hegemon ( America) has no desire to split the wealth.

Junglecat, Zambians and other Africans are aware of the situation and for your information, we are doing something about it! University students, politicians, and young people alike are united in this struggle, and if you were a little bit more educated, you will see that this has been going on since the early 1990’s! it is just not reported in the main stream media, lets face it, CBS is more likely to show a story about a bear in a zoo, than a story about some Black African Country!

I urge you to read the links and check the books I’ve added below!

If nothing else, it will enlighten you on the plight of us Africans and inform you on what actions that we have been taking to try re-address the gross injustices that we face.

Well, she looks kinda black to me.What does she do for a living. Modeling alone isnt lucrative.

@Layla my luv:

Great deductive reasoning Lay la. But the truth is even more sinister than that. We are actually trying to track you down. Believe it or not, we are NASA scientists and we believe you are the greatest scientific discovery in many years.

We have lured you in by sending out messages of superior intelligence. This of course attracts the opposite. We then knew we had the right person because of the rare form of dyslexia that you always start your sentences with.

Ex:(Since when is Legend isn’t bi-racial?)

Now that we have found you, know we would like to obtain samples from the grease on your forehead to engineer a new ball bearing lubricant. This anti-friction slime that you excrete is the very thing that not only makes you look like a polished boot but it also keeps bloggers from caring about your statements.

You could completely change space travel. Imagine the energy we could save. In exchange for your grease samples, we think we can help you with your smell.

Please notice I have changed my identity one last time, I hope that you are comfortable with my new name it exposes my true identity that I hope to use in my new act.

@layla

Damn, looks like it’s time to change your act clown!!!

We apologize for anyone offended by the remarks made about the entity previously known as Layla. We never condone identity theft and we hope that you don’t do the same.

Goooooooo Lay Us!!!

He clowned yo ass!!

rich & famous black men who always date “exotic” woman don’t appear to be comfortable with their blackness, the majority of the men we consider positive role models for for the african american community have partners who are also african american. what i don’t get is the fact these women wouldn’t give them the time a day if they were just a regular brother, but a sister would be holding it down for him, go figure!

John Legends is a charms glo pop headed loser…..try making some more worthwhile hits you dumb darkie instead of trying to find someone that’s so deserving of you…………. NEXT STORY PLEASE !!!!!!!

BLACK WOMEN, BLACK WOMEN ALL ALONE

BLACK WOMEN, BLACK WOMEN LOOKING FOR A BONE

BLACK WOMEN, BLACK WOMEN ARE TIRED AND SICK

^^^ Too funny

I would like to say most women would pass on a tight pants wearing, Frank Sinatra want to be sounding, S Curl having, 5’4″ hieght standing, DL brotha’.

I mean of course they would want to be alone.

Dude has issues and thinks this pretty women validates him. He was all on Jessica White’s team (a model black as hell yet beautiful) she dumped his azz because he has no value.

It’s his perogative to date whomever he damn well pleases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

@Vinandi

All that education and no reading comprehension. That is a damn shame. Now let me educate your ignorant ass

1. My comments to you had nothing to with interracial dating but with your unwarranted bashing of Nigeria. I reiterate my statement that people like yourself are what is the wrong with the black race. The whole crabs in a barrel mentality is so lame. You claim to be educated but form an opinion about over 140 million Nigerians based on your interaction with a few Nigerians you met on campus.

2. I am Ghanian not American.

3. I am an ivy-league educated attorney, so forgive me if I am underwhelmed by your educational accomplishments. Unlike you, I know one can be an educated idiot.

4. I have dated white men in that past and I have nothing against interracial dating (only self-haters like yourself).

5. Other than South African, can you tell me how many African countries have the strong economy that Nigeria has.

6. Yes Nigeria is corrupt, but which Africa country isn’t. Heck which country in the world isn’t.

7. Yes you are allowed to have an opinion on Nigeria, just like I am allowed to have an opinion on your intelligence (or the lack thereof) based on said opinion.

8. Yes I partly blame the West for the plight of Africa and that is why unlike yourself I am not so eager to embrace the idea of globalism and what it means for Africa.

So in conclusion, do the continent of Africa a favor and go play in traffic.

Regards,

Junglecat

I already knew that he was this type of dude

talking to yourself again, Marquis?

I see you took my advice about waiting a while before posting, but just like with your aliases, you’re not fooling anyone. We still know you’re pathetic, and you no life.

Wait, isn’t he gay?

to rawr

No we dont like cheetos, obviously you are not of African American culture…you would know that cheetos luv is a delicacy of the white trailer trash kind like yourself only.

*can be*

@ junglecat

1) “You claim to be educated but form an opinion about over 140 million Nigerians based on your interaction with a few Nigerians you met on campus.”

Correction, my opinion on Nigerians is based on 25 years of life experience, do you know that 1 in every Black Africans is Nigerian? Fact! I interacted with Nigerians, when I studied in Zambia, South Africa and in the United Kingdom- and even have a brother-in-law who as a Nigerian regularly shares his despair of his country’s plight!

Fair enough I concede that not All Nigerians are corrupt, and a considerable proportion of bad eggs have spoilt it for the majority, but YOU will be hard pushed to find out of every 4 Africans, 3 who don’t share that point of view, sad but true! Hence the reason why their new President had to take out several adverts in the Washington Post, International Herald Tribune, Financial Times et al… highlighting the issues and his plan of action, in order to restore FDI confidence! I am not making this up!

3) “I am an ivy-league educated attorney, so forgive me if I am under whelmed by your educational accomplishments. Unlike you, I know one can be an educated idiot” –

I am currently doing my MSc in Development Studies and Poverty Reduction at a Red Brick University, so go figure! And well done you, high five for your Ivy League Law degree and I hope one day you will return back to Ghana, to give back to your people, as I intend to do!

4.”I have dated white men in that past and I have nothing against interracial dating (only self-haters like yourself) “-

I find it extremely amusing, that the fact that I date inter-racially makes me a self-hater according to you. I am sure the rationale is very clear in your head, but I suspect that the bottom line really, is that you are very upset that I spoke disparagingly about Nigeria; tell me junglecat are you lying about your nationality? I seem to have hit a raw nerve, right about there! Are you or are you a Babatunde???

5) “Other than South African, can you tell me how many African countries have the strong economy that Nigeria has? “

Angola and other Sub Saharan States, including Zambia have actually over the last 5 years have experienced an increase in their economic growth above a rate of 4% per annum.

Look Nigeria is an oil producing state, their GNP will always be significantly higher than other African states, fact!

However, according to the Gini Co-Efficient the disparities between the rich and the poor are extremely wide and increasing and the money is not trickling down to the people who need it. More than 80 % of the 140 million populace live below the poverty datum line, in a country with the one of the highest GNP’s in Africa. Even you must agree that is not making the most of the wealth and opportunity of that nation?

6) “ Yes I partly blame the West for the plight of Africa and that is why unlike yourself I am not so eager to embrace the idea of globalism and what it means for Africa.”

I reiterate, I am eager to embrace the inter-racial dating opportunities, which are part and parcel of living in an increasingly globalised world.

I believe that my negative opinion on Western economic models, in particular Neo-Liberalism, Neo-Colonialism and Neo-Imperialism as perpetuated by the current Bush administration is blatantly evident! I am all about home-grown African economic solutions as proposed by the African Union, and Southern African Development Community as a means of stimulating economic growth, that benefits all aspects of society!

7) “So in conclusion, do the continent of Africa a favour and go play in traffic”.

I have to say that that is a very mature conclusion from an “Ivy League” educated lawyer, your professors will be so proud!

What I will do instead is go to the kitchen and cook myself some yam and trotters with okra!! Delicious!!

And by the way, no hard feelings, we actually do agree on a few things!

Plus good Luck in the African Cup of Nations, its great when the host nation does well and I am big Sully Muntari fan!!

@ jungle cat

correction:

1 in every 5 Black Africans

@ Vinandi

I confess I do have a bias here. I was born and raised in Nigeria before I moved to the US. No reasonable person (including myself) would deny that many Nigerians give Nigeria a bad name but for every Nigerian drug dealer or scam artist, there are at least ten Nigerian doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientist etc that are contributing to various countries around the world including Zambia. So if people choose to focus on the negatives that is their problem. Remember, hatred does not affect the hated. It affects the hater.

Junglecat

@Vinanfi

p.s the language I choose to use on a gossip blog is not necessarily a reflection of my maturity.

all people should be able to date whomever they please.

One needs to understand that more than likely these black men were born from a black mother and it is a slap in the face to his mom, his sisters and the black women around him. when he only dates outside of his race. the same goes for other races I am sure.

But Black women should let this go and concentrate on empowering themselves and taking care of our selvs. There are men of all races that truly like the company of a black woman. we come from queens so let’s be Queens!!!

um that is the definition of racist. “one who understands” that will only live a life inside their own bubble and never truly be happy. smh

werd. “kind of regular,” wtf…get of your high horse john.

Well,she is beautiful, but if he was broke, she wouldn’t hollaat him. I see her with a tall Swedish type.

Let be real! People just wanna see good black love in the media! So when you see someone successful like that, As a SBW, you’re happy cuz their happy but disappointed at the same time cuz it just another brother with another bunny. lol

Hi Omarion just want u to know i am one of your greatest fan and i am still hoping that i will meet u some day.Bye bye
