Marc Lamont Hill Writes An Open Letter To Slim Thug

Slim Thug is experiencing backlash after making disparaging comments about Black women but women aren’t the only ones up in arms. Pop the hood for details

Marc Lamont Hill, the Columbia professor who was previously insulted by Bill O’Reilly takes the rapper to task in a recent open letter. Check out an excerpt posted below:

In your interview, you talk about how much better white women treat their partners than black women. If what you’re saying is true, why do Whites have the highest divorce rate of any group? Do white men get tired of being treated like kings? In reality, it seems that you are buying into (and selling) a stale but dangerous ideal that constructs White women as ultra-feminine, loving, queens, and Black women as angry, selfish, and untrustworthy hoes.

Even more disturbing was your comment that “Black women gotta start being down for their man more.” Since slavery, Black women have had to withstand rape, torture, and humiliation (from both white and black men) in order to sustain their families. Now, in 2010, 1 in 3 Black men between 20 and 29 years old are incarcerated or otherwise under criminal supervision. Every day, Black women are raising children without men in the house, working multiple jobs (for less pay!), and supporting brothers as they finish their prison bids.

With Black male unemployment as high as 50 percent in some cities, sisters are often holding down households without child support or other financial assistance. Black female incarceration rates are skyrocketing, partly because Black women are “riding” for their men, hiding guns and drugs, operating as mules, and refusing to snitch to authorities. In addition, Black women are the group most likely to be victims of domestic violence and the least likely to be married. Still, in spite of all this bad news, Black women are less likely to date outside their race than Black men.

How much more “down” do you want Black women to be?

The brother has several excellent points. What do you think?

Slim Thug has already tweeted that he plans to respond, and he and Marc Lamont Hill have been tweeting back and forth this afternoon.

  • kch

    i was first!

  • Yun Dun Know

    I LOVE THIS DUDE.

    Put Slim Thug BACK in the kids place with those childish comments.

    Thanks Marc for being a REAL BLACK MAN, and not some fake image like SLIM THUG….hahahahah

    And to take advice from than from someone who names himself “slim thug”??

    He holds NO WEIGHT.

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHSHADDAAAP!!!

    Did this dude roll outta bed one day and just say, “You know, today I think I wanna F*CK up my career.”

    Did he not hear about Young Berg?

  • Yun Dun Know

    Damn…I totally f*cked up that last sentence!

    LMAO

    I meant to say….”and to take advice from someone who names himself “slim thug”…..

  • blaq

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Lamont. Finally a brother standing up for us. I’m so happy I’m actually speechless.

  • John J

    I’ll repeat. All women who are good-looking and/or successful are gold-diggers.

    IT doesn’t matter the race.

  • Kim

    Thank you Mr. Hill for checking this fool. I am a very strong and beautiful black woman that was very offended by the comments made by Slim Thug. I am very glad to see that we do have some black men that understand the black woman’s struggle.

  • John D. Hater

    THE PROBLEM WITH SLIM THUG AND DUMB NI&&A$ LIKE HIM IS THAT HE NEEDS TO RAISE HIS OWN STANDARDS!! ANY WOMAN WHO IS INVOLVED WITH A MAN LIKE THIS IS SIMPLY STUPID.

    HOLD UP, WHO IS THIS JOKER AGAIN?

  • lisa

    LOVE IT !!! THANK YOU BABY!

  • Nope

    the thugga was right , if blak women couldnt collect child support a lot less of them would have kids…

  • Truth

    Good points, now if we can get a bw of Marc Hill equal standing to address statements made my Sanaa Lathan and Regina King.

  • jnice

    if being a “gold-digger” means I want a partner that can match my contributions or better yet add to the pot, then yes, call me a gold digger…brothas need to step they game up for real…

  • that damn sh#$ disturber

    congratulations thug! you finally managed to stir up more attention than you did when you were making “music” (i use that word loosely)…

  • siyt

    WHEN WILL THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS BROTHER JUST PREACHED? BLACK WOMEN CAN’T HATE ALL MEN BECAUSE OF MEN LIKE PROFESSOR MARC LAMONT HILL

  • Crystian_Dior Marc

    Marc Lamont Hill is inspiring. Im glad that someone is speaking for us college graduate black women… Not all of us are the angry welfare queens Slim Thud speaks of.

  • daahlingnikki

    Bravo! brother…More of these jerks need to be called on the crap they say…and its wonderful that a man that slim thug considers to be extinct is the one defending black women…Bravo!

  • Melinda

    Slim Thug is nothing more than a loser (like most Black boys and yes I meant boys…very few men around here)As Black women we must uplift ourselves and avoid nucca’s like him.

    Great job on the letter Marc Lamont Hill

  • Camille Elvin

    Thank you brother. It’s great to realize that brothers like you really do exist.

  • drenk

    i cant wait to see what slim thug says back. i wont be holding my breathe waiting though

  • Divine

    THANK YOU, MR HILL! I think he summed up everything I was trying to say yesterday about this issue quite eloquently.
    I really appreciate his sentiment coming from a Black MAN.

  • they killed mike

    LOL @ JOHN J

    EXACTLY. AND IF A WOMAN THINKS I’M “GOLD” THEN I’LL ACCEPT THAT. WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE DIGGIN FOR GARBAGE???

  • kesha

    Thank you Marc for your response to pure ignorance.

  • simplyme

    Yes Lamont tell him baby!!!! In fact he probably wouldn’t even be able to comprehend your empowering letter, since he can’t even form a complete sentence!! Thankyou Lamont us sistas love, appreciate and value TRUE BROTHAS like YOU! *kisses*

  • Yun Dun Know

    HE SHUT HIM

    This calls for a HOE SIT DOWN for Slim Thug.

    Marc- 1 pt
    Slim Thug- o pt

  • MzTee

    I haven’t read the article, but it’s nice to see a proud intelligent black man standing up for sistas. Mr. Hill refuted Slim Thug’s silly claims with sociohistorical facts.

    I hope Slim Thug takes the ‘open letter’ as it was intended and reaches out to Mr. Hill to learn more about his (our) history, so he won’t ever again make disparaging and despicable remarks about black women.

  • B.A.

    That was an outstanding letter.

  • Jordan

    While I don’t agree with Slim Thugga….this brotha Marc right here is looking to butter some ppl up for a lil fame (perfect chance while the topic is fresh) in all reality I’m so tired of sistas being praised for being dumb enough to pop out baby after baby with no one to blame but the baby daddy! Then this dude wants to say that’s a form of ‘holding’ the brothas down…SMH…yes black men need to not be sleeping with all these fertile black women but BW need to just stop the madness! Stop claiming all white women do is let BM walk all over them…there is a balance of being a good respectable woman and MOST BW in the spotlight are not. You all known for only your a$$es and getting ur weave did nails done only goes so far..

  • ErycaK

    the thugga was right , if blak women couldnt collect child support a lot less of them would have kids
    _______________________________________________Sorry to bust your bubble Nope but I was with the same man for 13 years and we have 3 children together and I REFUSE to get the courts in my business. Money can’t make a man be a father. If he gives he gives if not my babies are blessed without it. Private school tuition, activities, etc. Thank God..

  • jake

    damn..son wrote that article pretty quickly. seems like he is just looking for a fan base, I dont think he disagrees with slim thug that much. alot of these guys cant be trusted ladies..he is probably 10 times worst than the guy who he is railing against.

  • http://fconnect vivian stokes

    MR.Marc Lamont Hill,

    Your letter made my day,

    THANK YOU!

  • ErycaK

    SLIM THUG is lame…

  • jnice

    and so is Jordan

  • Yun Dun Know

    I had to read this again!!! Wow….he spits nothing but truth.

    Slim Thug will have a weak response (if any).

    I dont expect much from a hood n*gga anyway…he probably doesnt even know what to say which is why they are “tweeting”. LOL

    Because I’m sure Marc would have no problem with putting his letter out there.

    Slim….you are the EPITOME of ignorance, so what can you say???????

    Anything that follows this (if not on the same level of content) is worthless.

    So choose your words wisely and think it through…….

  • http://www.stylebyraina.com Tha Stylist

    Bravo!!! Kudos to this Brotha for speaking up for US. I am so happy to FINALLY see someone in a position to have their thoughts broadcast have OUR back. I don’t know about you, but the Black women I know and was raised by are loving, devout, educated, nurturing, unswervingly loyal, faithful, beautiful and DESERVING of our praise. I, for one, wake up EVERY DAY and carry myself in such a manner as to pay homage to the ideals set forth for me by the black women that preceded me. Tha Stylist is representin’ Black Womanhood… LOVELY!

  • Yun Dun Know

    @jnice:

    LMAO….great minds think alike cuz I was thinking the SAME thing….smh

    He is really is though…..

  • simplyme

    Smh@ people saying he’s looking for a fanbase people love over analyzing sh*t especially when it comes to a real brotha showing sistas love smh shame on ya’ll! Stop that not a good look!

  • 4Real

    Well executed, truthful message. A great start however we have a long road ahead of us. First step…self-respect.

  • jnice

    @Yun Dun Know
    Yep! Dude need to be taking notes from this IVY LEAGUE professor, instead of talking about somebody’s weave or nails…pathetic…

  • She said it.

    @ B.A.

    Those are some funky shoes. Who is it?

  • LaurieFarmer

    Finally!! Someone finally stands up for coloured women. Th coloured community needs more men like this chap.

    Well done Mr. Lamont for defending the honour of the coloured women. God bless you. Amen

  • kg

    Great reply, but I’ma need him to reply when sista’s are trashing the Black man as well.

    And to the chick that said “I know I’m a bad b*tch”….seriously!? Lol….

    You discredit everything you stated prior to that with that one hoodrat statement…work on yourself, for real….

    Lol….

  • Soul Touch

    Very well said Mr. Hill

    But seriously, why would anyone be offended by comments made by a fool name slim ‘thug’? When did the rantings of a simpleton become thought provoking, let alone ever have the power to offend? What’s funny is that he thinks he actually has something of value to add to a STALE discussion. lol what a loser.

  • thisizkim

    very well-written. Slim Thug is an ignorant idiot that needs education in his life. It’s just so sad that he has to put down black women in order to feel good about himself. Just sad.

  • FURIOUS STYLES

    VERY WELL SAID!!!!!!

    So HAPPY!

    LOL

  • Lioness

    Amen

  • Angie

    I’m so discouraged…trying to support blogs, magazines, and music for black people, only to be degraded and belittled in the process. Thank Marc Lamont Hill, I’m glad for the positive words.

  • Lea

    Very well written and to the point. Slim thug needs to do some serious soul searching. He is another self hating brother.

  • May Babyy

    Lmao @ reading all the comments of black women clapping and thanking Jesus for the ‘letter of truth’ you all are such a mess! Hahahaha yall would ‘feel’ this dude and say he’s speakin da truth! Lmao I can’t I just can’t…..I don’t agree w slim thug’s word use but what he said has a base to it and that’s reality. This letter can make u feel as good as yall want to feel today but we’ll see as time proceeds

  • joobi

    Be very cautious of a man with such sweet words. The letter is very glittery, but not all that glitters is gold. The guy clearly has a talent for writing and is just putting it to use. Actions speak louder than words. He just put himself on a pulpit. Lets see how he carries on in his provate life. That being said he makes some good points.

  • Sydney™

    That letter sent shivers through me. . .Thank you, Dr. Hill. Hopefully, your message will resonate widely. You showed great insight, intelligence, and empathy.

    This excerpt, in particular, struck me:

    “With Black male unemployment as high as 50 percent in some cities, sisters are often holding down households without child support or other financial a-s-s-i-s-t-a-n-c-e. Black female incarceration rates are skyrocketing, partly because Black women are “riding” for their men, hiding guns and drugs, operating as mules, and refusing to snitch to authorities. In addition, Black women are the group most likely to be victims of domestic violence and the least likely to be married. Still, in spite of all this bad news, Black women are less likely to date outside their race than Black men.

    How much more “down” do you want Black women to be?”

    Thank you again for being an example of grace and positivity.

    “The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman.”

    - Malcolm X

  • Dcgal

    WTF is a worthless piece of trash called slim thug. Why does this garage pale even have a public forum? This is the problem with rap “music”. All these cats are useless and it’s a gutter culture. F-ck him and anyone who supports that s-h-t music. Wake up black people.

  • joobi

    Some women are so easily enamored. This is why they are taken for a ride so many times. The letter sounds good but the brotha isn’t satisfying anything that we hasnt said or heard before.

  • I’d DIE for a White Woman

    instead of trying to build off what slim thug says everyone wants to “Lashout” against him. This is exactly what the whiteman wants is for us to kill ourselves off. Bunch of bafoons on this page. he made his point think about whjat he said tho. A mojority of it has been true in many cases……Id die for a white woman!

  • carmelle

    THANK YOU JESUS!!!
    WHEW

  • Man, I just don’t care™

    Stick to your guns Thug, stick to your guns.

  • Somali Ninga

    Where the fu’k is real black is chocolate? How come he isnt goin hard on Slim but goes hard on black women? Fu©k him!

  • E$

    I wonder what Halle Berry thinks of Black men….lol

  • tporter356

    Thank you Professor Hill!

  • http://blazeadams247.blogspot.com B.A.

    And I can’t wait to hear this fools response. Like Marc asked, “What will you do”. This is his chance to (at least) try and redeem himself. If he goes in on Marc it will not be a good look.

  • Gimmeabreak78

    I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear Prof. Hill give Slim Thug the dressing down he deserves for having the audacity to hold “whiteness” as the end all, be all of femininity.

    I hope his career and his attitude withers and dies as a result of the backlash he is receiving.

  • Sydney™

    On a side note, it’s sad that this type of letter even has to be written. It seems that some of us have lost all sense of the pride and dignity we once possessed.

    Hopefully, the tide will begin to turn.

  • Lboogsuknowhatitis

    Thank you Jesus! Someone with a brain!

  • Jamacian good gal

    Wish there were more educated, loving black men out there that can take the time to educate these lost m inded idiots… Stop supporting these fools behind their music in go pick up a magazine or books to elavate your mind… Half these so called thugs have no education so wo are you gonna role with?

  • sugarsugar

    Bravo!

  • @twixxyd

    Good. Glad that was said, but I doubt Slim Thug will have an intelligent response.

  • CERO

    @nope

    Is that why you were born?

  • I’d DIE for a White Woman

    @ Sydney

    please dont quote Malcolm X with his lies the man was cheating on his wife for many years. Read the books instead of looking up quotes on Goole….arent u Indian anyway?..lol

  • B0SSiPST0PiiT

    I was really hurt when I heard what slim thug had to say about black woman. I am so thrilled that Marc Lamont Hill was strong , brave and most of all smart enough to respond with a letter like this.

    We have to learn to love ourselves first!

  • Call me Crazy, but…

    Hey Slim Thug,

    You have dug your grave my brother. Your career is OFFICIALLY over!!!! You will never sell another CD as long as you live. I hope you have a plan b???

  • Nicole

    Now this is what I want my future black son to grow up to be. A smart, educated, well rounded individual like Lamont Hill. Sick and tired of these damn thugs! Although I could give a rat’s a.ss about Slim Turd. Being a thug isn’t gonna get you no where besides dead, locked up, or poor and left out on the streets. My children, please inspire to be like cats like Lamont Hill, Pres. Barack, and Harper Hill and not these dang rappers, and
    athletes! Let’s teach the children we can do more than just sing, rap, dance, and play sports. We’re so much smarter than that!

    It all starts at home with the parents.

  • STOP

    IF MEN REAL MEN NOT JUST A BOY CALLING HIM SELF A MEN BUT A MEN…GO AFTER WOMEN THAT HAS HER STUFF IN ODER AND STOP LOOKING AT HOW FAT HER A$$ IS THEN MAYBE U WILL FIND A GOOD HARD WORKING GOOD LOOKING BLACK WOMEN AND NOT A GOLD DIGGER..

  • CW

    Marc is phenomenal!!!!! love it!!!! no matter what slim thug’s response is, he will sound stupid compared to Marc..Slim, sit down, no one is checking for you anyway but ur white girl!!! and when was ur last hit??? yeah, FAIL!

  • Man, I just don’t care™

    I think Thug’s comments were well intended but poorly delivered. I didn’t take his comments to mean he was “against” black women or anything of that ilk.

    He was stating some areas where black women could improve. He also stated some areas where black men could improve.

    I think his true error was comparing black women to white women.

  • Shon

    BS

  • Glok…Phuk a smiley face ,..Just Blaze!

    NO THE REAL QUESTION IZ WHY YOU PPL COME ON HERE DEFENDING THESE CELEBS ,..PHUK THEM THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU ,..THEY ARE TOLD TO DISRESPECT BLK WOMAN ,..TRYING TO DIVIDE US ,..THE SAME PPL YOU BUY THEY CHIT WANNA DESTROY YOU …THATZ WHY THE TALK RECKLESS ABOUT OUR SISTAZ ,..AND CREATE THE DL BLK MAN CHIT ,….LIKE WE STARTED THAT CHIT ….THEY WANT US DIVIDED AND USING CREEPS LIKE HIM TO PROMOTE SELF HATE ,..WAKE UP !

  • http://blazeadams247.blogspot.com B.A.

    @She said it

    I’m starting to believe there really is a conspiracy to destroy us. All this self-hate is just disgusting.

    I thought Slim thug was a HOMO-THUG anyway.

    NEWSFLASH LADIES: whenever a man goes out of his way to detail why he hates a particular woman means that he doesn’t like women AT ALL. And that the woman he does have is just a FRONT for his DL actions.
    —————————————–
    Oooh, Girl– Chuuurrchhhh! Research the new world order regarding your conspiracy theory. The DL thing is definitely all out truth! Oh– and the shoes are Christian Rodarte… I think Spring ’09 coll. :D

  • John

    I like Marc. He’s a smart brother.

    What Slim said about all black women was unfair, although some black women are straight bull chitters… Some don’t even respect the good brothers they claim to love so much. They don’t even know when they’re out of line, and don’t even care.

    I’ve been married before and won’t ever do it again. Stay single or just date fellas.

  • uptowndcchick4life

    SAY IT AGAIN PROFESSOR!!

    I LOVE INTELLIGENT BLACK MEN WHO SPEAK INTELLIGENTLY ABOUT ISSUES THAT MATTER. SLIM THUG IS A LOSER. STAY WITH BECKY BECAUSE THERE ARE ENOUGH NO GOOD BLACK MEN TO DEAL WITH. I REFUSE TO STANDBY A MAN WHO DOES NOT WANT TO HELP HIMSELF.

  • Karmel

    This letter is refreshing because the Black man is the only man that will openly diss his intended mate-the Black woman. When Kanye forgot who he was and what country he was in and came at Taylor Swift, white men (and some Black men, too) were quick to put him in his place. Anyone can say anything about a Black woman and rarely will a Black man stand up in her defense. Black MEN need to check other Black “men” when they recognize them to be disrespectful and out of place. That is why so many of our communities are in peril-Real MEN won’t openly come out and check these boys.

  • No u can’t be boyfriend #2!

    Sydney™

    From Slim Thug’s twitter:

    “I’m @slimthugga frm the nawfside they got me doing debates with professors over this ***** smfh”

    This is like a mouse going up against an elephant. The two aren’t even in the same stratosphere.
    _______________________________________________

    The way I see it is, Mr. Hill is addressing Slim Thug man to man (real talk)…because they both are not obviously perfect and so with doing this he is hoping to reach him in a positive way.

  • Call me Crazy, but…

    How old is this loser??? Pushing 40 and still trying to rap??? How many platinum albums???Nig.g.a please go sit down somewhere with your illiterate, irrelevant self.

    And don’t buy any more of Slim albums, for the people who like his music or rap.

  • Mrs. Hill

    Wow, May Babyy, how dumb do u sound. U must be one of those white women who will do anything; (GET TANNED, BUTT INJECTIONS, FULLER LIPS) TO GET DOWN WITH A BRUTHA. Yall be so pressed to try to be like a black woman and claim a black man. ANYWAYS this letter shut slim thug DOOOOWWWWWWWNNNNNNNN

  • Nicole

    This is what I like to see and hope more of our youth would insire to be like. A Lamont Hill or a Pres. Obama or Michelle Obama. When I see black intelligent black men like Hill Harper, I know not all is lost. If I have a son or daughter one day, these are the educated men and women he will know about. Not no damn Slim Thug, Slim Trash, or Slim Jim. Let’s teach the children that we are more than entertaiment puppets!

    “The way I see it is, Mr. Hill is addressing Slim Thug man to man (real talk)…because they both are not obviously perfect and so with doing this he is hoping to reach him in a positive way.”

    Yes, and I completely applaud Prof. Hill’s outreach. I’m just remarking at the vast contrast between the two men’s delivery, but that’s to be expected. It’s good to see someone taking a stand and address the deeper ramifications of such public denigration.

    Damn! – I have to agree with this because the letter was written by my “mentor.”… Kudos to Lamont Hill and the real strong black women that have been holding the brothers down but f*ck the gold-digging & Eurocentric ones that are slowing climbing into the majority…

    In this day and age – the black man is just confused on what sisters really want because most of the ones out there just care about status.. I may have to hit Lamont Hill up on this one!!

  • Gimmeabreak78

    @Kendrick

    Are you even serious with your comments? Slim Thug was correct when he said “most” black women are the personification of every vile stereotype thrust upon us? Then you have the nerve to cite reality tv shows where half the cast members aren’t even black as evidence????

    It seems you’ve missed the point Prof. Hill was making in reference to how pop culture warps too many people’s sense of reality. SMH.

  • SoulSista

    Switch genders and this still holds true. Unfortunately, the part of Hill’s letter that said “I agree with you that both brothers and sisters have work to do,” got lost in the rush.

    Someone should follow Mr Hill around with toilet paper…cause he is the $hit!

    i hope slim thug really dont take this as a treat, mr hill is right every word he said. hope he can take this in and move on, more positivity toward our black people

    Thank you professor Hill. I feel like reading this letter over and over. It’s not that I do not already think very highly of myself, it’s just that I lived to see that there is really a black MAN among us. Makes these other snivling, hateful, blame placing punks seem like just what they are. WORTHLESS! If that’s not you, don’t own it.

  • Lady Gaga

    Whis is Slim Thug? A houston rapper who has never gone gold, and yet accomplished scholars, such as Dr Hill feel the need to write a letter as if Slim Thug is Hugo Chavez or some of magnitude and importance. I can undertsand if uber rich and visible rappers, such as Jay Z or Diddy had said that, but Slim thug? He just a mixtape king.

    Dr Hill, are you going to address Bill O Reilly and that whole drug dealer comment?

  • MONIQUE

  • Lady Gaga

  • Devil’s Advocate

    While I don’t agree with Slim Thug, I find it interesting that so many black women are jumping down his throat for HIS opinions of what he looks for in a mate. No where in that interview did he say “Attention all black men of America, these are the words you must live by.” Now before anyone starts with the “he’s in the public eye and what he says can affect others” I preemptively call BS. As the great Negro poet Charles Barkley once said, “I’m not a role model, raise your own d*mn kids.” No celeb’s opinion should carry any weight in someone else’s household, and if it does I call you a bad parent. Teach your kids self esteem is esteem of your mu-fuggin self, no one else should be able to affect it.

    Anyway….

    Those where his opinions based on his experiences and his preferences. He didn’t say “all black women are like this” he didn’t say “I’ve dated every black woman in America and these are my findings”, and yet so many of you are acting like he’s your ex-boyfriend and speaking about you personally. The most egregious comment I’ve seen so far is “He must be on the DL because he doesn’t like a race of women”… really???? I’d bet my last dollar that if he would have said he the same thing about white women that line would have NEVER come up. I think what many of you need to do is not worry about what some random stranger thinks of you and only concern yourselves with how you, and those who are lucky enough to be in your lives, view you. The reason why this topic will always have a platform is because YOU ALLOW IT. If black women stop investing in these seminars, and buying the books (Steve Harvey was a bestseller???) then just maybe you wouldn’t be faced with the 20/20 exposes and the Nightline interviews about why you can’t find a man every week.

  • Pinklovelylady!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH “PROFESSOR HILL”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I knew it was some GOOD BLACK STRONG EDUCATED MEN out there. Glad Somebody spoke up, he’s right, we as a whole need to get it together, we getting there but we need to work harder and faster.

    But I know that Slim Thug feels like crap after reading that whether he admits it or not. I was praying for Tupac to come back but as long as we got PROFESSOR HILL & OBAMA, we gone be ALRIGHT!

  • TellMeSumting

    @ Nope. Not sure about the statistic, but sadly a LOT of yall “brothers” don’t even pay child support – court ordered or otherwise – even when you have the money to do so (like some celebrities). Eff YOU talking about! Go sit yo arse down somwhere before somebody makes you read a book – Yes, that’s a threat – I know that’s very scary for you. You’re as ignorant as Slim Thug.

    And I thank brother Marc for his words.

  • She said it.

    @ Lady GaGa

    I don’t think slim has ever gone wood. let alone foil or plastic.

  • Glok…Phuk a smiley face ,..Just Blaze!

    SLIM THUG NEVER HAD A CARREER, HE LOCAL ,…WE NEVER PLAYED NONE OF HIS GAR-BAGE HERE,….PROF. HILL DID IS THANG ..IM NOT MAD ,..PHUK A SLIM THUG …THIS THE MOST ATTENTION HE EVER GOT!

  • Queen R

    Thank You Professor Hill! Black Women have always had to be strong to have had endure the the s**t that our own people put upon ourselves. Why would this man put Black Women down like this. Did his mother raise him?

  • Pinklovelylady!

    Wow, how is Slim going to respond to that?

    Professor Hill said it perfectly. As a black woman I pray black woman will stop accepting this BABYMAMA role. We have to stop it, we have to accept nothing less than marriage.

    But I pray Professor Hill will get the opportunity to go PUBLIC so the rest of the world can hear his intelligent words.

  • lee marvin

    its laughable that this effete academic is quick to play knight in shining armor and defend the honor of black women using every tired feminist argument in the book. why are black women so up in arms? is it because slim thug struck a nerve? most women ,not just black, are fixated on money and status , thats the male equivalent of A.S.S and T.I.T.T.IES
    why do you think midgets like lil bow wow and steak tartar lipped n.i.ggas like fabolus have their pick of the kat stacks’ of the world? ask lisa raye about gold digging before you sweat slim thug for telling the truth.

    very well put together i hope all those rappers who can read and understand

    So Proud to hear from Professor Hill finally men are speaking out to the hipocrisy of it all….

  • keke

    what is wrong with our race our men standards are low they dont want a real woman they want someone they can tell what to do an they jump. I am of mixed race but baby i love to see my black beautiful people together our race hates on each other so much no other race does this. The white man is still winning this war he started it and some of our black azzes are keepin the skit goin. But what trips me out is the fact of how our men uphold white girls as so much but in all regards they want to be a black woman and they golddiggers to they just marry u and than get you for more than just childsupport. I love my race but everyday I look at a brother i think so im not good enough for basicly if thats the case than niether are the brothers you want to call us golddiggers no its the other way around you only with them for what they can do for u and what you dont have to do for them.

  • AnonymousGal

    Thank you. I will google it and if I see you I’ll rehash what I got out of it.
    Have a great week.

    NEWSFLASH: Ladies and Gentle MEN. Only we can nip this ghetto, gangsta, hood mentality that is stealing our children away from us. When you see a smart intelligent child in your day-to-day journey, validate them, tell them, “Good work. Keep it up.” Show some damn interest. Say it in front of their parents so that they know we are in this together. Stick up for the smart boys in school who are getting bullied by phunks because they are smart. Go out of your way to tell young men that is is great that they listen to different music, are independent or that it is ok to be a loner if that is the case. We need to tell these children that they are loved. THEY ARE LOVED AND WE SUPPORT YOU.

  • Lady Gaga

    Why are people crying over this rapper with no lable deal?

  • Man, I just don’t care™

    This was a veiled attempt to condemn rap/hip hop culture as a whole by a Fox news representative!

  • nowell

    applaud, applaud, thank you MR HILL, Tel Them

  • Bohwe

    Thank you Lamont Hill, but what have been more prolific if slim thug’s fellow rappers attacked him on his statements. It’s easy for Mr.Hill to destroy him intellectually, because that is his job, he’s in the social arena, where he looks at society in a different way than this rapper. Now, say if 50 cent, Cube, Snoop would have went hard on him, than that would be impressive. But, for Hill to attack him, would only go in one ear and out the other. Slim Thug mentality is not on that level yet, or he doesn’t allow us to see his intellectual side. But one question, why are people surprised by this whole thing, when Eminem, wrote a song dissing black women and noone stood up for us than. Only when it’s being made obvious that educated black women are exceeding more than black men, and more black wmn are dating outside our race., and more black women are openly disgusted with black men did this black intellectual speak out. why? because he knows that black women won’t stick around much longer and put up with the black man’s garbage much longer. Especially, since we are being fed hollywood images where black women date/marry nonblack men.

  • White Rob

    Ill pick up the sisters Thug dont want.

    Where you been hiding?

  • DaJournalist

    As a community, we have an obligation to condemn propaganda that has a negative impact on our people, particularly our children. Whether that’s an open letter, like the one here, or a boycott of artists or radio stations that perpetuate the bs. We all have to be responsible and hold each other accountable for statements and behaviors that are inherently damaging.

  • Caramel Cat™

    And I’ll say this, although I love Marc Lamont Hill, I think he made the mistake of giving Slim Thug way too much attention. Slim is a sloppy ghetto n.o.b.o.d.y. who does not even deserve to have what he says printed on the cheap paper that Vibe magazine uses…let alone gain the prestigious thoughts of a Columbia professor…smh…

  • niasia

    I love Lamont! He always stand true in the face of BS! Very well said my Brother!!!

  • geegley

    very great letter. will slim thug understand the english? LMAO, that i highly doubt. slim thug is ignorance in person!!!

  • Young Wundah

    Slim Thug is right though.. stop this PC nonsense.

  • krae51

    Some of you just don’t get it! I applaud Lamont Hill for stating his opinion, which I felt was right on. But looking at some of these responses, we have a long way to go because we are the only ones fighting against ourselves and going against us with all odds not on our side. When will we, as BLACK people, start listening to one another and stop blaming. The problem starts at home.

  • ReALiSt AKA ReALeSt (WiLLiE LyNcH CoNqUeReD D bLaCk RaCe WiThOuT a WaR – F*cK RaCe,SaVe YoUrSeLf!!)

    Damn! – it’s just a damn shame that some of these pu.ss.y whipped brothers just come on here to give comments to impress women they ain’t going to see.. The internet is faceless and please when you comment – make sure it’s heartfelt…

    Both Lamont and Slim thug are right – Slim Thug just gave his 2cent in a disrespectful manner and he’s not in a position to comment on topics like that… People would’ve respected the comment if it was from concious rappers like: Kanye,Nas,Common or Talib Kweli…

    No brother out there will tell me that they don’t believe that most black women are gold-diggers – and that includes: AAz,Africans,Afro-Caribbean,Afro-Europeans and Afro-Latinos .. That’s is the truth and it’s bitter but there are also strong black women out there that will hold a brother down no matter the situation but they are in the minority in this ago….The generation before us had strong black women – they held their men down – and some gave their lives for the black man… The last great generation of black people died in the 60z,70z & 80z – we’re just sheep today with no shepherd..We might as well just accept that Willie Lynch has conquered us – and it’s now time for every man to save himself..

    We all need to stop lying to ourselves and speak the truth – and the truth in this age is that most black women of this age cares more about the “status” than “potentials.”.. The black man needs more support from the black woman – this establishment was created to keep the black man down and we can only overcome with the help and support of our sisters..

    If i were Slim Thug I would NOT engage Mr. Hill publicly. I would send out something saying dialog is open and we are learning from each other and let it go away.

  • Telle

    truthineverything

    slim thug is dead right..more and more there are black women that are golddigging more and more..they don’t offer to meet u half way on a date,when the bill comes they don’t reach for there purse nothing
    ————————————————
    Okay I’m confused… paying for your girlfriends meal is gold digging? I thought it was called being a provider. The bible says that a man is supposed to provide for his household(1 Timothy 5:8) and that a man is the head of the family(Ephesians 5:23)Just because you not ready to do either of the afore mentioned things dont agree with Slim Thugs ignorant comments.

  • Kedy Baby

    Professor Hill….Thank you….I too read what “THE THUG” had to say….He is so mis-guided in his thought process…It’s ok for people to have an opinion, however they should make sure their opinion has merit, and is not filled with stereo-types that is being perpetuated by small minded people…… Slim thug did you forget you were birth from a BLACK WOMAN, who chose to give you life, she didn’t abort you, like most women do, who choose not to raise a child a lone..I’m sure he had no positive male role model because if he did he wouldn’t have had such negative things to say.

  • Lady Gaga

    Bohwe,

    But Hollywood are literally spoon feeding black men images of white women and black relationship……And! Hollywood are fueling the image of beautiful, feminine regal white queens, they are NOT doing this for black women in Hollywood, in fact Hollywood only use light skin women as grace and beauty, but that is another story.

  • Dnasty

    Word to the letter. But who the hell is checkin for what Slim Thug is saying? He was popular when? the one flaw in the letter was saying he had millions of fans. Dozens is more like it.

    I agree with your post, but I think Slim Thug is bi-racial (with a white mother)… or so I’ve heard…I could be wrong though…

    seen comment on another black web page and dude sound like a straight up fool.. i feel bad for his momma and his sisters,aunts and cousins that are all sistas of color…i would bust him up in the mouth for sayin’ that…he need to determine who is going to continue to buy his music in the future…idiot..

  • E$

    In my opinion, if Slim Thugg is dating nothing, but scallywags (who happen to be black women) then the person he needs to blame is hisself. If Slim is hanging out in places like strip clubs and nightclubs (flaunting his wealth), what type of woman does he think will flock to him?

  • currvalicious

    Thank God for enlightened, educated & intelligent men such as Dr. Hill. Because if we’re left only to deal w/the ignorant and asinine boys of the world such as slim thug we’d all be in trouble. As a rap artist who has great influence over our young black boys growing up; he’s planting a dangerous seed into their psyche about african american women and girls. He needs to be called out by more influential people of our community as well as his peers. Having a preference is one thing but lamblasting a group as a whole he sounds like a racist against his own. However w/all this being said, I wonder if he feels the same way about his Mother –she is a black woman afterall.

  • Brotherman

    Professor Hill is very educated, as smart as they come and does make some valid points, but he doesn’t speak from experience. He’s never been married, has no kids and is probably gay which means that he cannot even begin to relate or understand what it like to be in a straight relationship especially one with kids.

    Slim Thug does have some points too but I think its unfair of him to single out black women. Yes, black women will chew you up and spit you out but so too will the white women and most other non black women. I guess what he’s really trying to say is that white women are the lesser of two evils.

  • currvalicious

    Kendrick,,,I read your statement and u sound foolish to even attempt to defend slim thugs statement. Slim thug states “most women”, sweetie, slim thug wouldn’t know “most women”. He only knows those women he’s had dealings w/in his life; and that’s not most of us. It’s not to our advantage that he speaks of Black women in that manner. Anyway, there’s absolutely nothing someone such as slim thug can do for me or alot of us educated & independent women.

    Oh please, Lamont made some good points but There are a million black women who would still date slim thug over Lamont even if slim said that he doesn’t date black women. Many of you black women are either color obsessed, money, style, clothing or hood obsessed. Its funny because there are plenty of single black men like Lamont who is single, in colleges and universities with white women on their arms.

    Slim Thug will still sell CD’s, it is that simple. Heck, There are still black women who would date Young Berg even after what he said, over Lamont. It is your priorities that is the problem here black women.

Yeah sisters have been holding down black families for decades without the daddy around. One other example of sisters holding it down for the family and black men. As a man I could never let any woman buy or finance a car for me, but you now how many nicca’s I know personally that have nice cars that were bought or financed by sistas “damn near every one of them” just something I’ve noticed in my observations over the years. Don’t get me wrong now there are alot of goldiggin sistas out there as well as white chics, but I’m inclined to believe there are way more good ones.

    @blaq
    Gold digger: Any woman whose primary interest in a relationship is material benefits. A woman who cares more about a man’s bank account than she does about the man.

    That’s the reality – most black women out there will tell you that they want a man that will look after them and secure their future.. What happened to unconditional love and building the family from the scratch with your husband/boyfriend?????

    Slimm thug is bitter and harboring animosity towards black women due to his failures and lack of success in the music industry.

    He states that he wants a woman to bow down , cook for him and do as told. He wants admiration for himself . He wants a woman to adhere to his whim and desires. He wants a woman to sit on the sidelines and wait to be spoken to as well as instructed. He is delusional . His absurd views will leave him alone.

    His claims that black women standards are too high, black successful men are extinct so we need to settle for a male of his caliber is just a true testament that he is insecure of himself. He lost his celebrity status in a split second , so now he is spewing rhetoric. These kind of generalizing statements have been spewed for ages by scorned males who think they should be treated like Kings, admired, while treating the woman like an object to be used and discarded until further use. No woman regardless of race will allow this kind of abusive conduct toward themselves without having animosity. A woman who is secure with herself and knows that this kind of relationship is toxic will not allow this kind of treatment for herself. She certainly would never lower her standards to this degree and allow herself to be treated deplorably by a male of his caliber.

    A relationship is a commitment to honor and love one another. Slimm thug deserves no honor while sticking to his delusional views about black women. He is not able to support a woman or a household financially, that is why bitterness is engulfing him. I certainly would not tolerate an emotionally abusive mate, only thinking of his desires. He is not a viable mate. Being broke and bitter will only encourage a woman to run the other way . He certainly put the final dagger in his non existent career, by spewing this kind of debasing statements.

    @Jovan

    Oh please, Lamont made some good points but There are a million black women who would still date slim thug over Lamont even if slim said that he doesn’t date black women. Many of you black women are either color obsessed, money, style, clothing or hood obsessed. Its funny because there are plenty of single black men like Lamont who is single, in colleges and universities with white women on their arms.

    Slim Thug will still sell CD’s, it is that simple. Heck, There are still black women who would date Young Berg even after what he said, over Lamont. It is your priorities that is the problem here black women.

The woman is the breadwinner or is rising up, while the man is still trying to figure his mess out, and then gets mad when we leave them in the dust. To me it’s simple, men need to up their game.

    Random Question: How come everybody is defending the black woman who’s raising 3 kids by herself, working two jobs and still has money for various things knowing that’s not who Thugga is talkin about?

    When i read his comment the first image i got in my head was that female (not necessarily black but moreso women in general) who is with a man just for the sake of having one. Her man might jump out of bed and realize he might be late for work so he asks his lady to iron his clothes while he hits the shower. She’ll roll her eyes and make a slick comment like ‘you should have ironed it last night’ and go on about her business. C’mon ladies, that ain’t holdin your man down.

    I don’t necessarily agree with what Slim said or how he said it, but looking at ALL the different types of women out there, i understand his point. And if you all look at some of the females you know, you can probably name one or two that fit the bill too.

  • eglenn31

    While you have put together a good arguement it slanted to support your opinion. The numbers don’t directly relate to any of you points. However, I think Slim was taking about the demographic in which he live( ie the women in his circle). Please don’t be deceived there are women in our community that are living proof of this!

    People don’t wish ill will on others just because you disagree with their opinion.

    Where is the attack on Sanaa and Regina comming from? Neither of them said anything negative about brothers.

    None of us should EVER give any credence or validity to anyone who has “thug” in their name, or professes in anyway to being a “thug”, “rider”,”rapper”, “dope-dealer”, “G”, “Blood”, “Crip” or any of that criminal mentality BS. Prisons are built for thugs, so any reference to this loser at all is foolishness and very unnecessary. If he were a bird, he would be flyin’ backwards, just like anyone who regards anything that comes out of his mouth, or any gang member’s mouth for that matter.

    Dont let this be the ONLY DAY that you listen to an educated Black Man like Professor Hill.We all should surround ourselves with educated,ambitious, and positive people who are thinkers and leaders, not dummies and followers. How’s about choosing educated or career oriented men over loser gang member types anyway. Educated working men will never ask you to do anything illegal for them. If someone asks you to do something that is illegal, and you do it, you are a stupid @ss and dont deserve any sympathy. Thugs will always hurt your feelings. Excuses are for losers so stop making them. Thugs fly backwards, so let’s all start flying forward Black People! ;)

    and the sucees you hale?

    1. Success?, the only success I see is in deception;
    a. a bunch of loud mouth 10 lbs weave/wig wearing ho’s who race to get mani/pedi and buy knock off designer clothes, to try to compete with the white women, but can’t buy gas for your car.
    b. a bunch of gold digging ho’s who try to trap men with baby’s to bank roll their psuedo-lavish lifestyle
    c. a leading minority with the highest HIV+ status.
    d. a bunch of dirty low lives with multiple baby daddy’s, scrounging to get a piece of his paycheck, while spending minimal on the child and most on herself.
    2. a bunch of negative hateful azz b_itches who feel that just because a man is born black, he must date black.. so they hate on women of other races involved with the black man.

    You’re the idiot, now get back in that trash can and live in the fantasy world you came out of…

    @Realist.

    We agree to respectfully disagree and yes, I think his vocation (if that’s what you call it) doesn’t lend itself to credence. Are you going to listen to a gay man tell you how better to preform c*unnilingus? A white woman how she knows Black hair better than anybody? A banker giving tips to a surgeon? He perpetuates stereotypes, then callously degrades those who have been affected by it. Don’t point out a splinter in my eye when you have a plank covering your own. And that’s exactly what this man is doing. Criticism ,when constructive, can be tantamount in introducing respectful dialogue. What he did was up the Becky’s while downing the Black women? You have a problem with the women and men in your community? Then address that.
    Like I said, you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. The type of women he’s met is indicative of the kind of person HE is.

    To all the “brothers” throwing shade on Lamont, I believe you are salty because you obviously lack the intelligence to put two sentences together. It’s quite obvious when you cosign someone whom obviously rode the short yellow bus and who still calls himself a thug.

    oh gosh.. quit hating on all the white woman.. you dont see them going around bashing black woman,.. and I never see people dissing when a black man marries a latina, why is that? lets just all get over this race thing. people are with people because they like them. not because the color of their skin..

  • Theorius Stylez

    Talking to some of you bird-brains is just like talking to the wall. As an educated brutha myself, I know that if Prof. Hill wanted to talk to some of you bird-brains, you would shut him off too. You are just happy today because he wrote a letter to a gang member. My advice is to always listen to bruthas who have a focus, and have a plan for success. We are all not criminal minded. Those who are criminal minded dont have the support of real Black Men, but they do have the support of Black women who choose to fly backwards. Separate from the foolish or perish. Its up to you.

    Smart = Start a relationship with a man who has a job and the means to romance you and provide for a potential family.

    Dumb= Start a relationship with a man who has nothing but an attitude of oppression and bitterness towards his Black woman.

    If that is being a gold diggerand being selfish, then I do believe you are talking about the entire female race.

    When was the last time you saw one of the “Becky’s” racing to take our broke down rejects?

    Um naw man, they want the same good Black man we want.

  • Diane

    This is the first time I have experienced a black man speaking up for a black woman. Historically, black men have spoken up for the black race, BUT NEVER have I heard a black man speak up SPECIFICALLY for black woman. Damn, hell has frozen over.

  • TheOne

    After reading some of these comments, I wonder why do I even bother with the black community. A lot of you are some of the most self absorbed, toxic and ignorant people I’ve ever seen. To the black men AND black women: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU!!! IT’S ABOUT US!!!

    Stop going on and on about how black men have it bad or how black women have it bad. We all have it bad! We’re one. All this division amongst socio/economic groups, genders, skin tones and whatever silly sh*t yall use to divide amongst ourselves is damaging and will not do us any good.

    So shut the hell up about what black men ain’t doing well and shut the hell up about what black women ain’t doing well. We all have faults and instead of blaming the other, we can work together. But nawwwww, yall some crabs in the barrel. The main folks talking about who ain’t sh*t, ain’t sh*t either. That goes for you black men hating females and you black women hating males. Get over yourselves!

    That being said…Thug woulda been alright if he hadn’t brought race into the picture. Even then, his comments would reek of misogyny and sexism. But if he wants to meet better women then maybe he should stop being a thug! The only women who want thugs are women who ain’t about anything and basically the women he attracts! Good women want good men. If you’re a materialistic, superficial a.s.s. clown then to ask that your chosen mate be the opposite is asinine!

    Like I say all the time: If you keep attracting/dating/procreating with men/women who ain’t sh*t, then chances are, you ain’t sh*t either! Crappy people know no race! Work on yourself first and foremost before you try to instruct others to work on themselves especially if you don’t live up to what you’re trying to teach/preach.

    good black women are in the minority??

    once again how are you so sure of this .have you met the millions of black women thats in america?? what you said isnt a fact sir it was more of an opinion if anything

    soo lemme get this right i see black men on the news and in real life who constantly steal, kill sell drugs and have atleast 5 kids they never gave a dime to

    does that mean that black men like hill are the minority while the criminal black men are the majority????

  • FOX BOOGIE BROWN

    IM GLAD SOMEBODY SAID IT.

  • The Reeducation

    Hmmm.. Let me get this straight… You call yourself “Slim Thug”, yet you believe that you possess the intellectual aptitude to wax poetic about the perceived faults of Black women???

    I would like to know what makes this young man think that he is such a credit to his race, and what makes him think that Black women are such a burden to it?

    With song titles such as “This What Being Real Do” and “F**k You Mean” – is he really in any position to open his IQ-deficient trap? Really?

    The problem with fellas like him, is that they think they’re smart enough to pull a fast one on all women – so they choose women that they think they can get over on. And these unfortunate specimens happen to be the most frivolous women around.

    Then fellas have the nerve to lump ALL Black women into the “ho” category when they get got by some broad that they condescendingly underestimated.

    Slim Thug doesn’t want the intelligent, degree-having, ambitious women – because that would mean that he would have to put in work to meet her at HER level.

    Anyhow, musically he is about as relevant as an extra anus. Just another no-talent “rap-star” trying to capitalize on his 15 minutes of fame. He’s not really contributing anything worthwhile to hip-hop anyway. Listen to the garbage that he puts out, calling it “music”. I don’t care how many records he’s sold – he’s selling garbage, bottom line. He’s certainly no Black Thought; no Common; no Talib. He’s Slim, and he’s a Thug – hence his limited, mind-numbing material.

    Begone, man – just begone. Ugh.

How come Dr. Hill has a white PA and not a black PA?? Why does Dr. Hill like the beckys on Fox??? I respect brother Marc Lamont Hill and I look upto him but we can’t solve our problems by hiding the truth.. The truth needs to be told!!

    @Sigh
    I agree that MOST of the destruction in the black communities are caused by the black man but it’s deeper than that… You need to look deep into how the establishment has pumped billions of dollars into the destruction of the black man to understand that the black man didn’t do these things because he wanted to do them….

    You also need to RESPECT the black man for “weathering the storm” to achieve the little things he has been to achieve – no other race of man would’ve survived it,believe that!!

    We need you sisters than ever before but it seems they’re turning y’all against us… We’re in this battle together – let’s fight this war together..

    Slim Thug, perfect example of a cornball with a mic..

  • TheOne

    I’d love to say that a lot of black women would give more play to men like Marc Lamont Hill than to Slimy thug but unfortunately, I do not believe that. MLH is intelligent, handsome and seems to have a strong sense of self. A lot of women would call him corny. Well, a lot of girls rather. Slim thug is the epitome of the bad boy. Girls like the bad boy. So it’s not really a race thing since it goes across racial groups.

    Too many young girls want a thug. Too many young boys want to be a thug. But like I said, it’s not just a black thing. However, it seems like it has more extensive and damaging effects amongst black people. It must be another extreme attempt by us to a.s.s.imilate into American society. Sounds farfetched? Think about it though.

  • Damn its Friday Yes lawd…….

    The professor was on point in his letter to “Ignorant Thug” and should focus more on things of this sort…..because I couldn’t wait for this bruthas azz to vanish from my television screen during and after the elections because every racist pundit, host, guest or politician that he was put up against as an opposing view whupped his mumblin, stumblin unable to get a point across view. I truly believe Fox chose him because they knew they could punk him and score points for their white viewers with the public lashing be it by tongue rather than whip of a black man…..

  • WTF

    They’re both coming from extreme points of view. I’m in law enforcement and I see black men supporting households without the aid of black women. I’m also sick of hearing about the jailed black men and nothing about the jailed black women. Also are we to always glorify women who knowing select thug-types, then are left abandoned and pregnant by them.

    We always hear about the black man baby making machine what about white men who now divorce their wives (white and black women) twice that of any other group in America. While I think Slim Thug is a fool (always have thought this) and appreciate Pro Hill’s words, I feel we all will be best served by getting away from myths both good and bad and accept people as individuals and not a faceless mob. The first rule of wisdom is not to accept absolutes.

    BTW I’m married to a black woman for many wonderful years now. I married her not because she is a black woman but because she is the BEST woman for me. I feel the best way to respect our women is not to make her a goddess but a true life partner. Sure black women have given alot but so have GOOD black men. Lets stop the competition between ourselves and learn to enjoy each others’ company.

Come to think of it the clearer more resilient voices I heard during the election were the black female who generally put foot in azz……

  • artdude01

    As funny as this may sound, all of you know this statement to be true. 90 percent of today’s black women would SPRINT past Marc Hill to get @ Slim Thug PRIOR to this controversy. If this was the year Slim Thug released his hottest stuff, Marc Hill would leave the club alone, and Slim Thug would leave with his pick of the flock. Possibly more than one chick if he saw fit.

    Lets be honest, Slim Thuggas are more “exciting” than Marc Hills, and Marc Hill would probably have a lesser statistical chance of finding a “suitable” African American Female mate than Slim Thug. A decent amount of Marc Hills wife up more White Women than Slim Thug types do.

    Ironic isn’t it?

    Lamont is right. I myself have been that ride or die girl for someone only for him to decide he wants someone of another race. Out of his own mouth he is with her because “she takes care of him”.

    @Realist is your circumstances in America worse than those of African men? NO! Its time for Black men to stop with the white man yada yada yada. WE KNOW!!!Do something more construction then saying its a black woman’s fault when a black women is what nutured you.

    Black women face just as much discrimination as you but yet you choose to ignore that.

    so which one is it because yall confusing me

I have the most respect for them as men. So we can all feel how we feel but bashing a entire group of women because you met one bad one… stop it!

  • TheRealDiane

    The reason white women don’t ask black men for money, because they don’t have to. Black men gladly hand it over to them. The only money black men hand black women gladly is money to get their hair done, because a black man will pay ANY PRICE for a black women to get rid of her naps.

    Great to read what Dr. Hill had to say.

    Sad thing is, no matter how many black women applaud his efforts on their behalf, most of them would rather have a thug over Dr. Hill any day.

    Proof is in the societal pudding. Black women like thugs. Yes they also like complaining about bout them, but it doesnt stop them from sleeping with and procreating with them.

    So with that considered it doesnt matter what some of you women say, because you actions tell a completely different story.

  • Eddie Louis

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I do not share verbatim Slims opinion, but I can understand where he’s coming from. Slim is simply expressing what he (as an individual) has experienced from different women of different races. If speaking your mind about your own personal experiences is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

  • IGuessso

    I’m a black woman and I’m down with any man that treats you right no matter what color you are. If Lamont surrounds himself with whites, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t respect or have honor for black women. That’s more than what I can say for some black men. They want you to be down for them or “ride and die”, which involves wanting you to do wrong for them. I’m not doing wrong for any man. I can do wrong or bad by myself I don’t need anyone’s help. I honestly think there are a number of black men that are envious of the strides that black women have made and I won’t say they are intimated, but it seems like alot of our hip hop artists, instead of honor black women for their minds and their character, they place more emphasis on her body parts and how good she is in bed. That does nothing but dumb down a woman and you see it happening everyday with our young ones. Yes there maybe more white women getting married than black women, but based on the high divorce rate, they don’t seem to be any better.

  • BLACKHAWK

    I’m glad that u ladies feel good that a black man has ur back, just know that its a lot more of us out here. However, the wrong thing to do is discredit the complaints that good black men have. If we cannot look in the mirror and check ourselves then we’re going to be saying the same shhh for the next 100 years. Lamont spoke the truth, when he was quoting 1/3 of black males ages 20 to 29 are in jail or have been in the system some kind of way, which is a huge problem, but what the men are saying its also an significant number of black girls ages 20 to 29 who are in love with these type of men, because find them fun and exciting. The truth is a lot of women this age want a man to stand out in some kind of why i.e. thug, baller, playa. A regular working good guy just don’t do it for them. It actually probably starts in middle school ages 12 on up, look at the boys who your daughters, nieces, cousins are attracted too. He probably looks more like lil wayne or plies than Lamont or Barack. Seriously parents check your daughters facebook or myspace, don’t bury your heads in the sand. Your baby girls are seeking these ignant dudes. Teach them to go for the good boys and then they will have more good black men to choose from when they’re ready to get married.

  • I’mJustSayin’

    @ BlackHawk – thoughtful post. Very nicely written. I especially agreed with this statement, “Teach them to go for the good boys and then they will have more good black men to choose from when they’re ready to get married.”
    It is essential to discuss acceptable behavior and characteristics for a mate with your children. They will ultimately make their own decisions, but the conceptualization should begin early.

  • coljam21

    I feel sorry for the likes of slim thug. And I feel sorry for his mother, sisters, aunts and every female relative in his family. I guess in making those remarks about black women, he was talking about them too. Slim thug is a victim of ignorance. He should educate himself like NAS and become a more concious rapper. So sad.

  • nowcomeshisdownfall

    From one black male to another Black male. I’m glad he said what a million voices of us as Black females could not.

  • Shameful, come on my black people

    Can we as black people stop the bashing? PLEASE!!!

    At the end of the day black people only have each other. We are looked down upon world wide by other nationalities/races of people. We don’t have the time to be at war with one another.

    What happened to the Black man that defended black women? Nowadays it feels like we are left to fend for ourselves and it pains me that most black men refuse to acknowledge it. We have the media telling us how undesirable and unattractive we are as black women, now we have our own men telling us the same thing. I know black women have issues but so do black men.

    Black men please put yourselves in our shoes. Females left to defend ourselves against vicious attacks from society, females left to raise children by themselves. These situations will give black women their difficult exterior.

    white and asian women don’t have to endure what we have to endure, which is why it is easy for them to smile like everything is ok.

    Black men please understand.

    @KreoleKing

    Sweet heart I don’t have an attitude and I don’t want a thug. Yes some sistas fulfill the stereotypical roles but please stop throwing black women into a box. You are a handsome brotha and you seem intelligent but please stop it with the generalizations. You are too good for that.

The letter was great but Slim Thug isn’t worth responding to, he obviously has a lot of growing left to do if he feels what he said was worth saying out a thought that needs more thought before saying it.

    lmfao I’ve never dated or desired a “thug” in my life. Brothas please stop making up excuses to drag black women through the mud.

    If you want to date white women, asian women, latinas go for it. I’m not concerned with your choices in women,however when you have to justify your reasons for doing so it screams insecurity on your part.

    Rolling around in the sheets with becky must not be that fulfilling if black women still remain on your minds.

    Perhaps the becky chasers bash black women because somewhere in the depths of your soul you feel guilt. You feel guilty for choosing the oppressors woman over your own, so you resort to bashing your own women as a method to relieving your guilt.

    Either way I rather be a thought in your memory than a stain on your bed sheet. lmfao, these swirlers should really feel content with their own life. if you are not dating black women stop insulting us seriously.

    Why would Slim Thugg say some bs like that. I guess he must be speaking of his mother, aunts and grandmothers too. For the ignorant fools saying 80% percent right…..so you have dated 100 of the Black women in the world right? Umm no. Like someone said previously…its the women in his circle. I truely doubt this man would choose a well educated college girl who wasn’t high maintenace to date. Hill is just defending black women while Slim wants to throw us under the bus. He is ignorant himself. Another corney rapper selling to white suburban kids. You cannot critize one side of the community without the other…as if he is God. If he didn’t make it rapping he would be hustling on the streets in somebody’s jail. He aint nothing but one sack weed away from jail anyway.

  • Kreole King

    It all just seems a bit one sided to me.

    It seems that its okay to bash black men but then if some black man offers a negative or constructive observation on black women then they are immediately attacked.

    I hear you sisters when you say that black men need to step up and be better men.

    Now can you hear us brothers when our collective voices say that we would like to also see change for the better in our women?

    The observation stands. The men that black women complain the most about are the same ones that they are most attracted to.

    Yes its in general, but things become general for a reason.

  • THE E

    Slim Thug tellin the truth. But i wouldnt put ALL black women in that category. Cause if you go to countries in africa or Brazil women are respectful and submissive to their husbands.

  • Proud

    I do not bash black men. As a community black men and women have stuff to say about each other…but like my mother always said….whats happens in your house stays in your house. I agree with both men to be frank cause I have a home girl just like Slim described. But you cannot just throw an entire community under the bus like that. I read the tweet….he says he was misquoted. But when he responded with the rapping about cars and hoes…..that let me know what level he is on. I am just angry by the way it was thrown out there. I know men know good and bad women. Just like women the same but don’t make it seem like its just black women. Definitely don’t say we need to home them down more…..cause with me and my boo….I helped him get started in school off my student loan money ….we support each other.

    You can provide constructive criticism, no one is stopping you. Fact of the matter is Black men and Black women need to step it up.

    However when I hear brothas attack black women while simultaneously placing white women on pedestals it bothers me. White women have never been loyal to black men they are loyal to white men, can you guess who has been loyal to black men? black women.

    Black people need to understand that the powers in control are pleased with the infighting of our community.

    Genocide is the strategic killing of a particular race of people. If you remove the men from the equation who is left to defend and protect black women and black children? no one. I wish black people would open their minds for once and stop buying into the propaganda being feed to them.

    The future of black people doesn’t look to good if all of this tension continues.

    As a black woman I am loyal to black men, I cherish them. Sometimes I feel that black men are aware of this which is why they drag black women through the mud so often.

    Anyway Continue saying whats on your mind, I think it’s great when black men and women have discussion as long as it remains civil.

  • artdude01

    Marc Lamont Hill forgot to mention the most daunting fact, which is 90% of black children grow up in a single parent home or a home lacking both original parents of the child. So how can Mr. Hill suggest that Black women are great candidates for wives when they grow up, when they have no example of how a wife is supposed to act. Much of the fault is the upbringing or lack thereof. Young women grow up, and have no idea how to interact with a husband, but is fostered with the overhearing of bad mouthing of the man because things didn’t work out with momma.

  • Kanaan

    Luckily, I grew-up surrounded by most cultures (black, white, latin, asian and indian). Slim Thug obviously did not do the same. His ignorance is overwhelming. I am always astonished how our race (black) loves to categorize our race. We have vast complexities just as other races. The funny part is whites often are puzzled at how or why black males and or females love to compare themselves to whites and the poorly generalized comments black males make about white women. I suggest he educates himself.

  • SICK-OF-IT

    YUCK slim thug makes my stomach turn…his ignorance is sickening

  • Thank God for Non-Black Women

    “Now, in 2010, 1 in 3 Black men between 20 and 29 years old are incarcerated or otherwise under criminal supervision.”

    “With Black male unemployment as high as 50 percent in some cities”

    Ok, i’m confused. Did the Prof. just substantiate Slim Thugs, earlier a$$ertion that EMPLOYED WELL TO DO BROTHAS’ are in short supply? – But in the case of certain regulars on this thread, refuted said a$$ertion, but is now ridin’ with the Prof? Which is it?

    Now if said “A$$ERTION” is not true (which I believe it’s not), who are these “LONG SUFFERIN” sistas’ ridin’ for:

    “Black female incarceration rates are skyrocketing, partly because Black women are “riding” for their men, hiding guns and drugs, operating as mules, and refusing to snitch to authorities. In addition, Black women are the group most likely to be victims of domestic violence”

    …Cuz accordin’ to the PROF. they sho’ nuff ain’t ridin’ (let alone lookin’) for honest workin’ black men…So in closin’, I call BULLSHYT ON SLIM THUG, THE PROF. AND ALL THE SANCTIMONIUS COMMENTERS WHO’S RIDIN’ WITH THE PROF, ALSO.

  • BLACKHAWK

    @ I’mJustSayin’ -thanks sweetie. While i think its sometimes healthy to air out all of our frustrations that we may have about each other, the whole tearing down each other, tryin to get one up on each other is stupid and childish. Especially if you don’t even support black love.

  • wow

    honestly I think everyone is entitled to date whomever they wish! but as stated you don’t have to justify why you do it by bashing black women/men. I also think both men make valid pionts and I’m a black woman.I have had bad experiences with black men, but i do not bash them! my daughter’s father has been incarcerated 90% percent of her life only seen her once! and i don’t bash him. i don’t speak ill of him to her or anyone. garbage women come in all races black,white,brown,mexican etc… sometimes you need to work on yourself! i have alot of things i need to work on! but i WILL never say i only date white men because of bad experiences with a fewblack ones and the crazy stereotypes! find someone that respect all women regardless of color…. that treats you with respect and vice versa.

  • marmar

    I absolutely agree with Hill. I hope that he continues to get negative press for such an ignorant statement.

  • babygirl~

    Slim shoulda thought about what he said b4 he started to complare black vs white women. I dont think its about race at all, its the type of ppl you deal with. And another thing wasnt “Not Anymore” about him? If so he def fits the “no good black man” stereotype! Alsways fishin, we’ve seen pics of him gettin head in the bathroom (immature)and from that joint from Flavor of Love exotica. So with that being said he needs to look hard at himself and what category he falls under, cuz as far as im concerned he’s a womanizer, arent black men famous for that? lol But what do you expect from a ignorant arrogant dummi! smh He’s sad

  • Kay

    Since he has such a big mouth and doesn’t think much for Strong Beautiful Black Women…see how many he has coming to see him or buying his music. On Music Tueday I see way more (black)women purchasing music than I do men…..

    All these rappers or so called stars that were raised by Strong Beauiful Black Women and the first thing they do is get a non-black woman…Jill Scott was RIGHT!!!! This whole situation is JUST PLAIN SAD!!!!!!

  • Mitch Wright

    This is what I don’t understand. When you dissing black women, and you are black, you are dissing your own mother and sister. So, I guess Slim Thugs momma was a trifling go digging HO. I am glad that Prof put him in his place. I really think Slim is bitter over LeToya. I always wondered was the lyrics from Regret about him. And, the chick with him now gotta be a fool. She went to visit him and this man cannot pay for her ticket. Women, wake up if a brotha wants you he needs to pay to get you. Put out an effort.

  • Bones Jordan

    I cant believe this fool said this stuff. The streets must be poppin again. Lord knows bruhs ain’t makin rap money like they used to. I mean he must not need the fans money? Street money…

  • tg

    Thank You Professor Hill. If our own men don’t respect us – I don’t know who will. Every so often there comes along a black man (making a lil bit money) & thinking he’s Gods gift to the world because of that fact. Well the black man is God’s gift to the world, to me, but he must realize “so am I.” The thing that bothers me is we believe what we read and hear from others before we even believe what we actually SEE. It’s sad we are such a confused race. And people like Slim show the world our ignorance. Even if you thought that way, why speak bad about your people. Spreading HIS OPINION like it’s bond. Then brothers start believing that crap. In my lifetime, I’ve seen brothers and sisters love each other truly and dearly. We just have some hurdles to get over – mostly hurdles OTHERS put in our way to confuse, blind and keep us apart. I’m not going to say anything bad about black men. I don’t feel anything bad in my heart about them, despite what we out here on the streets EVERYDAY. That’s what the enemy wants to keep us apart. Stop be blinded by the enemy is all I can say. Open up your eyes and follow your heart.

  • tg

    Black people – if you disagree with what he’s saying – don’t support him – please. Let the white women buy his shyt.

  • Keep It Real

    Still, in spite of all this bad news, Black women are less likely to date outside their race than Black men.

    It all just seems a bit one sided to me.

    It seems that its okay to bash black men but then if some black man offers a negative or constructive observation on black women then they are immediately attacked.

    I hear you sisters when you say that black men need to step up and be better men.

    Now can you hear us brothers when our collective voices say that we would like to also see change for the better in our women?

    The observation stands. The men that black women complain the most about are the same ones that they are most attracted to. These are the same me you lay down with a create these poorly raised children with.

    Yes its in general, but things become general for a reason.

    I have yet to have any intelligent female on this blog explain why black women are so attracted to thugs instead of men like Dr. Hill.

    all they do is deny or try to say something smart.

    But you cant deny what is obvious in every black community across levels of status and education, black women love thugs, yet love to complain about them.

    the reason slim thug is having a hard time finding a successful black woman is because we try to stay as far away from ignorant gatherings that demean women (slim thug concerts) as we can. *eyeroll* i understand that sometimes you have feelings about certain groups of people, but black men are the only ones that will publicly take a stance against their other halves. if you feel like that, whatever, date your white and asian women and be done with it, but dont advocate for the abuse of black women. like, why are black women your enemy? when in reality, if he trusts any women at all, they are probably black (mother, sisters, fam etc.)
    when ‘other’ people hear you saying stuff like that i just know they are staring at your big wide floppy lips thinking how black and stupid you sound.

  • Matix B

    KreoleKing: Black women are attracted to thugs for the same reason that Black men are attracted to gold diggers. The only answer is low self esteem/self hate. Neither believes that they deserve a good partner so a pattern is formed and habitually adhered to. Simple fix…therapy for all!

    @ NU2this,

    What are you talking about? Did you read what you wrote, again for a man so educated you just regurgitated old antiquated stereotypes about black women… you are exacerbating the problem rather than offering a sound response or solution as Mr. Hill. Do you know the ratio to black women with BA’s, MA’s, and JD’s to black men slim to none. There are more black women ceo, vp’s than black men but again those stats are not the answer to this problem just like your silly and ignorant rant. You sound bitter and angry that these shallow women were not checking you out again you are describing a certain type of woman Not ALL BLACK WOMEN. I am am beautiful, black 26 year old woman in shape,with my BA and MA, a Director in Marketing, no children, my own condo and I have strong spiritual relationship with Christ and I can not find a Black man YET with my same credentials or aspirations but I am not bashing any brothers and I have hope because I surround myself with positive motivators.

    Lady Gaga: While celebrities shouldn’t be made to feel like role models and parents SHOULD raise their own damn kids. The fact is whether right or wrong, children ARE influenced by celebrities. A parent can parent all they want, but they cannot force their influence on a child. A child has their own mind and will choose what they will. Sadly, more often than not children are MORE influenced by celebrities because of their flashy and seemingly successful lifestyles. It appears more glamorous – therefore more enticing and more influential. It is not the parents choice.

  • Thirdeye

    Slim Thug’s ideals are a product of his own bad choices. He probably only dated hoodrat chicks because that is probably who is most attracted to him. Birds of a feather Slim Thugga. There are plenty of beautiful intelligent black women that wouldnt give a second look at him because of his image and persona so those type of women are probably as foreign to him as the car he drives. He should take a accountability for his bad choices instead of being childish(or maybe he is hopelessly stupid where women are concerned) and blaming the inadequacy of his relationships on all black women.

  • Trini2deBone

    The major flaw in Slim Thug’s statement is that he made a hasty generalization. He started off his statement with the words “Most Black Women”. I believe if he had revised his statement and said “Most black women that i have encountered…..”, it would not be criticized so vehemently and would not have made the women who do not fall into this category and the men who don’t hold this opinion so offended. I must admit that their are some trifling women out there, however I doubt if Slim Thug really realized the mess he was spewing by saying that women should lower their standards and bow down to Black men. I agree that each person should contribute to a relationship but i really don’t understand why he believes that a Black woman should expect less, but give more. He must realize that a vast majority of white women make a compromise while with black men i.e. If he’s black he must have money, so it’s a tradeoff for her. However he expects the black woman to not want or expect the same treatment that they lavish the white woman with and expects us to treat them like Kings???? Maybe Slim Thug needs to have encounters with positive and successful Black women and not the trash that he so obviously surrounds himself with

    Haha at all the women in here fliping over Prof. Hill. What dissapointment they will experience when they here about something negative in his closet. He is just another man like anyone else. I personally can’t stand people like him and Steve Harvey who attempt to bottle up an answer or solution when the root of the problem hasn’t been tackled. Similar to The Jerry Springer show when Jerry at the end of the show offers opinion to remedy his dysfuncional guest lives. GTFOH!

  • Why

    Am I the only one who has only heard of Slim Thug once (other than this instance)?

    The only time I have ever heard him rapping was in Beyonce’s song Check On It and that was quite a LONG time ago.

    I find it hard to belive that all have read the article. Some of the things that Slim said were based without merit. But I know for a fact that most of his words were taken out of context. When he used words like SOME and NOT A LOT people still think he downing all black women. People need to look at the facts…read the article before you make a comment cuz you dont know.

    Now that we got that point across lets get women to love the brothers for who they are not what hip says they should be. Hes to laid back for me; hes too nice. Lets just love each other for the sake of our race. We have to be strong together.

    I strongly agree with Mr.Hill. As a black woman I felt it was highly disrespectful for Slim Thug to make those disparaging comments about black women .I believe it was very idiotic for him to single out black women and then label us a whole, just because some of the women that he encountered rubbed him the wrong way.Maybe he should make better choices in women.And since we are on the topic, is Slim Thug’s mother not black? Why not include her in the group of black women since he decided to put on a blindfold and start firing shots. Nothing is worse than a person past their prime attempting to do what’s clearly been over for them for a while. Slim Thug<<<<what a stupid name, your rhymes are old and they have been weak for a while now I think it's time you hang it up because clearly all that syrup your sippin' on is starting to cloud your judgement. Oh and my friend, a white woman, said that even if you were the last man on earth she wouldn't let you hit.LOL!!!

    Thank you Mr.Hill and on top of all that black men expect you to look like some becky whos husband has a good enough job so that all she has to do is workout and stay thin. Aint no dude going to convince me that some other race is so much better when all women should be demanding a provider and protector.
