Angela Simmons on the Swirl: “Rise Above the Hate”

Posted by Bossip Staff

angelabf

Angela Simmons is just a little bit pissed that people are not respecting her interracial relationship.

Pop the Hood for her Venting Session…

In her Global Grind blog, Angela states:

I am a lil surprised at the number of people that seem to disapprove of the relationship with my boyfriend. I find this reality to be kind of hard to accept. There are times when I notice people giving us long hard stares and those stares are usually from my own people! Honestly, I wish everyone could benefit from the beauty that can come from experiences that happen outside of your own comfort zone. Give it a shot and you can learn so much from a person you never thought you’d talk to or have something in common with. Sometimes society makes it hard for us to be comfortable enough in our own skin to embrace others who are different.

  4. SOCIETY IS CRAZY MRS. SIMMONS IT’S OK TO SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A WHITE WOMAN BUT WHEN YOU SEE A BLACK WOMAN WITH A WHITE MAN YES SOCIETY LOOKS AT YOU LIKE YOU ARE CRAZY, BUT DONT WORRY ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE IF HE MAKES YOU HAPPY THEN GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO LOOK AT

  5. binarystar

    It didn’t occur to her that people are probably starting at them because:

    a) she’s hot

    b) her boyfriend looks like the “urban” character from some early 90’s kid’s show.

  12. Toi

    Girl, let them hate. If you were with a black dude that was abusing (emotionally or physically) none of those haters would be there to protect you so as long as this non black dude is treating you right, fu#$ the haters.

  13. Never Take S!des

    NO ONE GIVES A FLYING *****!

  21. drenk

    @ binarystar

    I was thnking jaime kennedy from that *****ty movie he did, malibu some ***** or other, dont remember the name

  22. kell

    well for one, like someone says earlier, he looks like a parker-lewis throw back. Seems like he is trying very hard to look like a black white boy, and for all of that you coulda had a real one. Its like seeing a lesbian couple where one is dressed like a man… but isn’t one. That causes the stares more than anything else.

  23. Gred

    This Isn’t really a swirl.. THAT DUDE IS AN INDIAN..

    Indians are good.

  24. Oh Well...

    beauty AND brains…and she’s so young too. good for her. I wish her nothing but good things.

  25. skinny8612

    awwwww, they are so cute togetherrr!!!!!!

    WHO CARES PPL!! STOP CARING ABOUT OTHER PPL AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS!! MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!

  26. Rihanna's sharp n pointy witchy fingernails took the oath

    girl, no one cares about yo fugly *****. i didn’t know being in an interracial relationship was a big deal, where people have to try to build stories about it. angie, you are not the first to be in one and not the last.

  27. Divine

    People I know who are secure about their relationships (interracial or not), don’t tweet about them.
    WHY? They don’t care what people think!
    People who are actually having trouble dealing with it themselves or are trying to get used to it or have questions about their own relationship, are usually the ones who say stuff like that. They are actually looking for re*****urance or a pat on the back.
    (i.e. the Kardashians, Russel Simmons ‘girlfriend’, etc.)

    More power to her I say, but be more secure about yours, Angela. You don’t need to explain or vent to or about what people think.

  28. jia

    She’s right.

  29. HtotheL

    He is Mexican … Not white not indian.

  30. MARK RICH

    Could it be no gives a *****?? People stare at people regardless, and have you ever looked at the way you dress? you dont think an attractive black woman who dresses a little “different”, OR MAYBE CAUSE YOUR ***** IS ON TV DAMN NEAR EVERYDAY IN SOME SHAPE FORM OR FASHION is going to attract attention, and men dont feel “betrayed” by seeing black women with someone of another race, cause we know a MAN IS A MAN REGARDLESS OF RACE, so good luck sweetie, and stop worrying if someone approves of your relationship

  31. Lawd da Mercy

    Some gives a ***** or she would not have posted that stupid ish…just not us! I know I don’t!

  32. Renee

    A lot of people are saying who cares about her relationship, but I remember when pics of her and her bf first showed up it was something like 200 comments and quite a few referred to her as black *****, she should get raped, she’s trash, she’s useless now. So now that she responded to it, all of a sudden no one cares. I’m glad she responded.


  33. Who was venting???? I approve!!! Idk about abstinence though..me and Drake will be gettin; it in!!

  34. @GLOK

    LMAO @ GO EAT ONE OF UR PASTRY SHOES

    VANESSA IS NOT CUTER THAN ANGELA…IF U LIKE A CHICK THAT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS STARVING, THEN I UNDERSTAND


  35. Shes a cute girl (angela S)~!!

  36. Child Please

    Sweetie, no one gives a rats ***** about you or your boyfriend. I can’t even watch anything that has a clip of that annoying voice of yours. People might be staring because they’re afraid that you might start talking and they want to make sure they cover their ears.

    Enjoy your boyfriend and STFU.

  37. TekMoney

    Funny how Bossip didn’t have anything funny/sarcastic to say. Could it be that they finally get the Stop the Hate message?

    … won’t hold my breath.


  38. It’s so hard for our race-black people to accept black women to date outside our race, but let a football or basketball player- Reggie Bush, Lamar Odam, Michael Jordan i can go on and on… Be happy and enjoy life Angela life is to precious!!!! Keep your head up!!!! “SMILE”

  39. 80s baby

    Angela sweetie…

    you can be with a black man or a latino girl for all the world cares…they will stare if your ***** look different or if you put yourself in a position to be seen…i.e. PUBLIC…grow up please…stop these spoiled shananigans and go do something productive for your community instead of demanding your community’s approval…*sigh*

    …and this ladies and gentleman is the difference between girls and ladies!

  40. 80s baby

    People stare if something gets their attention but the only color that’s catching anybody eye these days is “green”

  41. Redbone_Darkbutt_Black_White (It's just coochie)

    I think that the people who find it necessary to “answer” this *****, help to perpetuate the situation that they complain about.

    ONE thing that I like about Naomi Campbell — she just DOESN’T deal with other people’s opinions — she just goes on and does what the ***** she wants to do.

    THAT I can respect — damn people who have to “answer” really AREN’T comfortable, because if they were, they would “do a Naomi” — ignore the dumb*****es.

  42. impriss00

    i sometimes think that they all(The Russells) would rather be*OTHER*** than Black
    but personally IDC about race i try not to NE way.. b/c i 2 have dated outside my race but returned to my roots and dont think i could ever for the rest of my life be WITHOUT my BLACK MAN!!!
    Aint Nuttin or *****ODY like Him

  43. Redbone_Darkbutt_Black_White (It's just coochie)

    @80s baby

    People stare if something gets their attention but the only color that’s catching anybody eye these days is “green”
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Now HERE is an intelligent response — the ONLY reason paps are following her is because of her DAD —- there are thouands of inter-racial young couples that NO damn body pays any attention to.

    And if Rev. Run pulls an “m. c. hammer”, i.e., goes flat-***** broke, her problems with the paps will be OVER.

  44. jazzyphile

    If you gonna date a white dude, then date a white dude–not a white dude trying to act black!

  45. Jungle "Angie" fever

    Ive got jungle fever, shes got jungle fever

    Shes gone black-boy crazy, Ive gone white-girl hazy
    Aint no thinking maybe, were in love

    She cant love me, I cant love her
    Cause they say were the wrong color
    Staring, gloating, laughing, looking
    Like weve done something wrong
    Because we show love strong, get real, come on
    Calling us names too bad to mention
    But we pay them no attention
    For color blind are inner feelings
    If we feel happiness
    And know our loves the best, forget their mess

    Ive got jungle fever, shes got jungle fever
    Weve got jungle fever, were in love
    Shes gone black-boy crazy, Ive gone white-girl hazy
    Aint no thinking maybe, were in love
    Shes got jungle fever, Ive got jungle fever
    Weve got jungle fever, were in love
    Ive gone white-girl crazy, shes gone black-boy hazy
    Were each others baby, were in love

    Everyones created equal
    Hell with all you ignorant people
    Trying to stereo type us
    You really ought to quit
    Cause you dont know jack, you make us sick
    Get off my jock, youre trying to ride me
    Because I got my girl beside me
    Youll only make yourself look stupid
    I love youre trying to dis
    Cause weve got happiness, I bet youre *****ed

    Ive got jungle fever, shes got jungle fever
    Weve got jungle fever, were in love
    Shes gone black-boy crazy, Ive gone white-girl hazy
    Aint no thinking maybe, were in love
    Shes got jungle fever, Ive got jungle fever

    Weve got jungle fever, were in love
    Ive gone white-girl crazy, shes gone black-boy hazy
    Were each others baby, were in love


  46. some people care about the most trivial *****, yes i agree on one thing being in a swirl relationship myself i noticed that bm/wm swirl is celebrated as a conquest for the bm but when its reversed all ***** hits the fan
    so as a black female i am very happy for her

  47. Gred

    @HtotheL

    “He is Mexican … Not white not indian”

    What do you think Mexican are??

    *****in Indians. before the white came and killed everyone there wasn’t a boarder between the U.S. and Mexico.

    Mexican, Native American….= *****in indians,


  48. good 4 her still…but i swear i know my eyes are not playin tricks on me, that her BF looks like her younger bro diggy in that pic

  49. realityWRECKER

    angela…really are you serious?
    your man looks like a wack as5 ***** and people maybe starring cause youre a hottie with a unknown schmuck and remember “we dont play that black n white ***** here” so it aint the skin girl its the choice in losers that got us all like WTF!

  50. drenk

    @ Gred

    not all mexicans are indian, flip through the channels and youll see plenty of white mexicans, they like to stay away from the darker skinned or “indian” mexicans

  51. *aintnoshameinmygame*

    Who cares about angela simmons Period. Nevermind the boyfriend…..

  52. Gred

    @ drenk

    white mexicans are a small number. Dominican Republic has a small amout of whites but 90% are black.

    If the mexican looks white, u would think they were mexican.

    the reason u identify mexicans, is because the majority look like indians.

    America wants to keep the Indians out. Mexicans

    get it?

  53. Gred

    easier example..

    When you think of a Mexican.. What type of person do you think of????

    an INDIAN looking guy!!

  54. jamdown

    You know I wouldn’t think anything of it if she was just a regular girl on the street but because she is in the position she’s in and the money she has I’m sorry, but you couldn’t have found a smart intelectual brother?? Instead you go for a white guy that no white girl would even spit in his direction looking like a white street kid! I have a feeling when all is said and done she will turning to women in the next couple of years. You know this white boy aint got no sex game to keep this girl happy. I promise she will be carpet munching if she stays with this dude!

  55. Nova

    Note to Angela… ain’t *****ody worried about either one of ya’ll. Carry on…


  56. All Angela blogs are about black people this or black people that, now you wanna be white get your own issues together Angela suck it!

  57. RACIST *****

    ANGELA SI A SELLOUT FOR *****ING WITH THAT TACO.


  58. I think its cute.
    This is the first time I’m hearing about this [suprising] I’m a fan of Angela’s persona. I’m not sure if its genuine, but I’m a fan nonetheless.

    Very cute couple. Interracial couples can gwan. Regardless of whether he’s indian or mexican, both ways; CUTE COUPLE.

    Do ya thing Ang.

  59. Gerri

    He looks Native American.


  60. He see you as meal ticket and you see as human being. Listen to your father he’s a man that love you!.

  61. bobby

    If it was white folks hatin, yall would be screaming ***** racism. SMH at the double standard.

  62. redhot

    This is not an interracial relationship….interethnic, yes, interracial, no, not really.

    I don’t see why it’s a big deal. I can’t tell you how many puerto rican and dominican boys I dated living in NYC….no one gave me any weird looks…at least not to the degree Angela’s talking about. Only time somebody came out their face to say something to me was a ghanaian boy, who felt that since i’m nigerian, I SHOULD date african guys only. Boy please.

  63. Shay

    Very well said, she’s a very smart young lady…I see more African American women stepping outside of their comfort zones or safe little boxes, and experiencing “something new”…kudos and good for them. African American men have been doing it for years,with no regard to our feelings, while we have stood by and remained loyal. Screw that! Get yours, and be happy with whomever and whatever makes you happy! :)

  64. Shay

    @redhot, I’m glad you were left alone, things are really different in New York, the attitudes seem totally open and different, to a point of course….

  65. LenoraLoupe

    @ Gred
    He’s not Mexican or Latino!! You guys are so blind he’s not white either he’s Arabic i.e. Middle Eastern descent!!! Secondly Angela needs to be confident within herself and her relationship and stop caring about what people think. Most of the people who stare are staring because of who her dad is. Not because of her boyfriend. Although I know some black people can be racist toward those who are in interracial relationships but so are some white people. Anyone can be narrow minded or prejudice. I’m black but I think people have the right to date whomever they choose. Love can be found anywhere so why should we dictate who she can love? Who cares it’s no one’s business but theirs.

  66. JUDY

    Angela shouldnt worry about if strangers approve of her relationship.She’s going to have to get some thicker skin.

  67. Getsomecl*****

    Do your thing girl! White men don’t cheat (as much) have good FICO scores and will treat you like a lady that you are. I’m not racist, but it’s a fact…

  68. Getsomecl*****

    As a matter of fact, I recommend all black women to give the white boys a try. They LOVE us black beauties and you will be treated like a QUEEN, unlike the cheating thugs with a million baby mamma drama. I have yet to date a white boy who has disappointed me!

  69. C33L0

    da funny thing that seems dat every single last person on here has missed is dat dere is no other race other den da human race so dis isnt an interracial couple its 2 ppl in a relationship together one love people

  70. Gred

    @ Gred
    He’s not Mexican or Latino!! You guys are so blind he’s not white either he’s Arabic i.e. Middle Eastern descent!!!”

    @LenoraLoupe

  80. drenk

    @ Gred

    you havent seen real indians or even mestizos have you? If this guy had any indigenous blood its REALLY watered down by poisonus euro blood.

    and if you notice Life telling us that this guys argentine and venezuelan, than youre waaaaay off target cuz both those countries have small indigenous populations

  81. SHELLEY

    WHOA!!!!!!! AFTER READING THIS DOWNLOW BLOGGING GOING ON DUDES REALLY ARE *****ED BOUT THAT *****…..

  82. Gred

    “you havent seen real indians or even mestizos have you? If this guy had any indigenous blood its REALLY watered down by poisonus euro blood.”

    @ gred

    Native Americans, Arabs, Sri Lankans, most Mexicans, Equadorians.. One thing in common..
    They are INDIANS..

    They are xonfused for each other because of their INDIAN bloodlines. Indigebous is OBVIOUS man.

    This cat is not a white person.. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

    Now Argentina are White people.. i agree. but not this guy.

  83. ALPHA1906

    I love the simmons young ladies and wish them the best….I saw Vannessa in Target this WEEKEND and she is a beauty and definition of cl*****.

    BLACK GIRL LOST!

  93. viewer

    I’m black: African American female, my bf is part Cuban & Puerto Rican. Alot of ppl keep saying that we don’t count as an interracial couple. In my book we do bcuz for 1.) He doesn’t look like a blk man 2.) His culture is totally different then mine & 3.) He is still considered white. If he were to apply for a job he would check White: hispanic/latino. I come from a city where their isn’t any Latino’s so to me it’s definitely new to me. Everybody wasn’t born & raised in Urban areas such as New York, Cali, Philly, Chicago where alot of different Ethnic groups are. I’m from North Florida where it’s only blacks, whites & the asian ppl who own the hair stores & restaurants. But I have started noticing more Latino’s moving here. Thats a good thing for me bcuz I have a thing for Latin men.

  94. Me

    my wish is she marries him & has lots of mixed babies so these black men can cry over it!

  95. Me

    Latin Men are gorgeous!
    They are real men…they have knocked BM out the box in everything!

  96. whats the bid deal

    Well she’s found a man that she loves, and he’s not black..so? i really don’t see what the big deal is, people need to chill. If she’s happy, she’s happy.


  97. I DON’T BLAME HER. ANGELA YOUR MAN IS CUTE. ENJOY YOUR RELATIONSHIP. I AM MARRIED TO A WHITE MAN AND HE TREATS ME GREAT. BLACK MEN KNOW THAT WHEN BLACK WOMEN DECIDE TO GO THERE SHE IS NEVER COMING BACK. UNLIKE MOST WHITE WOMEN WHO MARRY BLACK MEN ONCE THEY GET DIVORCED THAT WW RUNS TO TRY TO GET A WW EX(NICOLE SIMPSON) BECAUSE SHE JUST WANTED HIM FOR HIS MONEY.
