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.

    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

  • 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.

    who cares? you need to mess with somebody, that understands the fact that you are not letting anybody rip. dating you is like dating a 10 year old. no offense, but there is no need to waste a tweet on a sexless relationship, lol

    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.

  • Rihanna’s sharp n pointy witchy fingernails took the oath

    girl, no one cares about yo fugly ass. 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.

  • 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 reassurance 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.

  • jia

    She’s right.

  • HtotheL

    He is Mexican … Not white not indian.

    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”

    @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-ass broke, her problems with the paps will be OVER.

  • jazzyphile

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

    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

    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 pissed

    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

  • 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

  • *aintnoshameinmygame*

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

  • 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?

  • Gred

    easier example..

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

    an INDIAN looking guy!!

  • Nova

    Note to Angela… ain’t nobody worried about either one of ya’ll. Carry on…

  • http://www.twitter.com/idilherzi Idil Herzi

    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.

  • Gerri

    He looks Native American.

  • http://Bossip.com D Brown

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

  • bobby

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

  • Gred

    i dont know why black care. I don’t see a big deal with her dating an Indian.

    They are BOTH ethnic.

    Indians are good.

  • 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! :)

  • 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….

  • 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.

  • JUDY

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

  • Getsomeclass

    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…

  • Getsomeclass

    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!

  • 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

  • Deeana S.

    Skillz of Play n Skillz is Mexican… not Arab…lol…

    do your thing Angela!!

  • YUNG’N

    I DONT CONDONE INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS……UNLESS THE MAN IS BLACK

  • T

    MC Aladdin is OK. Leave him be.

  • drenk

    @ Gred

    no i dont think of an indian im not blinded by stereotypes like you. And besides that has nothing to do with the guy in the pic, he LOOKS like a white mexican

    GET IT

  • Nikki

    Everyone is entitled to date whomever they like. They look cute together. Get over it.

  • Life

    um @Gred & @ drenk…Skillz in NOT mexican! dummies he is Venezuelan & Argententian

  • Gred

    @drenk

    lol you going to tell me this guy looks like a WHITE mexican??

    PLEASE GET UR EYES CHECKED. No WAY in HELL would u confuse this Indian for white.. SORRY.. wouldn’t happen.

  • 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

  • SHELLEY

    WHOA!!!!!!! AFTER READING THIS DOWNLOW BLOGGING GOING ON DUDES REALLY ARE PISSED BOUT THAT SHIT…..
    HATERS,,,,HATERS,,,,,HATERS

  • 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.

  • 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 class.

  • ensiteful

    BLACK GIRL LOST!

  • 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.

  • Me

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

  • Me

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

  • 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.

  • http://bossip shelia

    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.
