Uncle Blood Diamond Russ peeped our post this morning of him and his vanilla boo-boo, Julie, and decided to let us know that he’s been pimpin’ since been pimpin’ since been pimpin’…pimpin:

Dear Bossip,

I read this morning your headline, “Digging for Gold” with a picture of me and Julie Henderson saying that the picture was taken last week at some food event. This “digging for gold” photo was taken last night @ my apt. The event was a fundraiser for the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding…so you’re right we were digging for gold! The honoree was LL Cool J. The organization promotes religious and racial harmony. It is a deep investment of my time, passion and money. Currently, the main focus is Muslim/Jewish relations and we have 52 programs in America where imams speak in synagogues and rabbis speak in mosques :-) We are also spreading this work all over the world. Please send your gold or donations to ffeu.org. Also, as for my “boney, boo” Julie Henderson, she is nobody’s gold digger…she is a quite independent supermodel. FYI. Before yoga and marriage, back in the Krush Groove days, I was fat and high on coke, but I was still known to have the baddest girls from all over the world. Now I’m rich, vegan, sober and in much better shape…Can’t u guys just accept that my game is tight!!!! Love Bossip…

-Russell Simmons

Dear Uncle Blood Diamond Russ, we hear you loud and clear. Try sprinkling some of your pimpery to some brown sistas from time to time – we’re just saying…..lol.

********
Peep BDR subtley suggesting his bony boo Julie Henderson put on a few pounds. All jokes aside, the swirly pair were spotted yucking it up at Imperial’s Home Cooking Thursdays in New York City last night. Dig more of the event plus Star Jones on the red carpet of the 2009 Skating with the Stars in Central Park below.

  • QUEEN TINA

    Russ has been dippin into other cultures too long—-doesn’t he look like an Asian man. Good guy though.

  • sj

    Clearly, Kimora got the better deal from the divorce. Russ needs to find his yoga chick and stick with her. Everybody else is such a downgrade from Kimora.

  • http://Bossip Tapanga

    I do not like the orange dress. It’s not working for her at all! Love Russell’s smile. To me it looks like they are really good friends that kiss from time to time but nothing serious.

  • http://Bossip Leah

    @SJ. Correcting you because you’re wrong! Russell has had plenty of dimes excluding this trollop since Kimora. Who the FCK is Kimora. You act like that pie face Kimora was the queen of beauty. NOT!!! I like Kimora for I am half Asian half black she represents for the mix girls. But, to say that Russell has been downgrading since Kimora is an absolute ignorant lie.

  • http://dicooper.spaces.live.com/ DICooper

    She looks good in orange. Russell has flowers for days. If she’s on blast then she’s on then she’s probably totally worth it.

  • DayShifter

    She’s not even that cute…

    WELL HE LIKES YOUNG WHITE GIRLS, WHAT CAN YOU DO! NEXT

  • Divine

    I’m not a black man, so I can’t see what’s attractive about Russel’s girlfrined.
    She looks REALLY plain. That’s the nicest way I can say it.
    She doesn’t even look ‘fashion model’ interesting. She not ugly. She’s just not beautiful.
    She’s just….blah and bland.

  • Divine

    sorry for the typos

  • Zelp64

    You people need to leave Russell alone, He is just
    enjoying the fruits of his hard labor. And as for
    all the strong black woman who are upset about rich
    black men dating white women, you all have become
    to strong for your own good. Nobody wanted to deal
    with a difficult woman, especially a rich man.

  • foxxy

    yall no a black man don’t like to share his food and from the look on his face that stands with ol Russ also.

  • TheCompletePackage

    Russell looks really bad for someone who has deep pockets.

  • Cookie

    I’m glad that Russell is an intelligent, succesfull black man. He doesn’t ‘dumb down’like some brothers.

  • Delusional

    Umm can someone wake up Russell Simmons and tell him that he is delusional!! His game is in no way “tight” his pockets sure are fat though and if i was one of those white supermodels i would let him think that his game is “tight” too. Thats how the game goes ill let you think i care for you while i spend that MONEY. SMH you would think that these idiotic balck men would understand that these white women DONT WANT YOU! They want what you can GIVE them $$$$$$$$. But that always has been the destruction of the black man, I guess in old age it doesn’t get any better…

  • Mrs. Philly

    Dear Uncle Blood Diamond Russ, we hear you loud and clear. Try sprinkling some of your pimpery to some brown sistas from time to time – we’re just saying…..lol.

    Good for you Russell – tell them what it’s really like. Nice Organization, too. You are a good man at heart. Don’t change for no one. :)

  • cybercybil

    ROFL @ Uncle Russ. Get it said. It’s pimpin, pimpin. He got his AND he’s giving it back. How can anyone hate on that?

  • Brave New World

    I’m not sure why these super rich workers for the ‘shitsystem’ can’t keep it real. HEY your RICH NOW, you can be somewhat honest, can’t you? How bout’ you say that anything Black and NOT on your level reminds you of BLACK POVERTY and we all know the eccentric elite can’t stand anything or anyone who reminds them of their project daze. White people do the same thing hence laughing at the red neck hillbillies reminds them of their trailer park days. It’s simple math people stop praising these so-called culture makers stop buying their products make your own. Wear your own label and name. He’s ONLY a man/woman like they all are just like everyone else.

    Personally I think Russell is kind to have a rebuttal to the teasing and it lets me know that he hasn’t reached enlightenment despite his 100years of meditation and yoga.

  • Dina

    honestly? reading some of these responses I can understand why RS wouldn’t want to date black women; such hatred and vitriol. But the bigger question is why does it matter? Why do people take it as a person rejection just because someone’s personal taste doesn’t look like them? People spend far, far too much time stressing over stuff that is not important, you would all be far better off if you spent this much time on yourselves.

  • Divine

    Hmmm…He could have got a better looking “supermodel” that’s all I’m saying…
    He’s really flattering himself…LOL!!!
    This girl is a model….Not a Supermodel. There haven’t been any supermodels in a decade almost.

  • Dirty Harriet (Get all up in yo ass like a Enema)

    Good question, JustWondering.

    WHAT UP RUSS? LOL

  • Dirty Harriet (Get all up in yo ass like a Enema)

    Or maybe he’s trying to be like Seal and Heidi Klum?

    You know.

    Not so good looking man and a supermodel white girl? Although, I must say that Seal looks a little better than ole Russy.

    Aww give Pops a break.

    Just cause he has fame and money doesn’t mean he’s not human. I mean, we (the average person) respond to things said about us, especially if they’re incorrect and insulting. Not always, but sometimes we do. Why do you respond to things incorrect or insulting about you? I bet Russell Simmons did it for the same reason–that is, if that was REALLY him who said that.

  • Frog-a-licious

    “Can’t you just accept my game is tight” lmao… He not easy!

  • Invisible

    Great assessment Jessica… Do you blog? Although I’m sure you wouldn’t post your info for vultures to devour.

    I have a great respect for people who attempt to reach enlightenment while the still have a sparkle of youth and vitality, because I am on the same journey and I know it is a difficult course to follow, especially when you think you are the teacher. Life is the teacher and water is Life. None of us is greater than water. Bruce Lee said, “Be like Water.” It is a difficult task for Rich Men and Poor Men with delusions of grandeur.

  • jessica

    @ Invisible

    I actually bought a domain and am presently building my site. I love blogging and many people support my move so it is very encouraging. But yes I am about to lay it on ya and when it happens you’ll know :-)

  • Dirty Harriet (Get all up in yo ass like a Enema)

    @Kigali:

    So are you saying that you have to have deep pockets to make a difference in the black community? Russell has the resources to start organizations like the one mentioned above. People like you and I dont.

    So, whose to say that nikki isnt doing something for her community already? She may not be employing black people or physically putting money in peoples pockets, but she could very well be doing something else.

    It’s not just about money. It’s what you do and doing it with your heart in the right place.

  • Eye

    Supermodel Russ, PLEASE with that bullshit. This chic is just tall and NOTHING special. She looks like Nikki Hilton and that aint cute.

    Russ, if you really want to do something for the black community, stick by a black women because it is the relationship blacks have with each other that is the root of all our problems. It just seems like the easiest thing to do as far as us as a people is always the last thing on a celebrity of your standings mind. You try to cover it by doing all this other stuff when really, the only thing we need is a great example of what a healthy black relationship looks like. I guess that is why Barack and Michelle get so much attention and have so much influence. They understand that the best thing for us is to stick by us so that together we move this country forward. Running behind white women only negates all your other charitable gestures Russ. You are just a sorry example and that is why your own community doesn’t support you.

  • Dirty Harriet (Get all up in yo ass like a Enema)

    LOL @ Sydney…..really.

  • Sydney™

    @Dirty Harriet

    He’s like one of the oldheads who’s still trying to pick up chicks at the club. You know the type, lol.

    Not a good look.

  • Magz

    That’s reverse racism to tell this black man he can’t go out with a white women. Them laws was abolished after the civil rights movement. Anybody can go out with who they want! I read Russ book Do You! He seems cool. He’s Doing Him! Nothing wrong with that.

  • Sydney™

    Should any of us really care who Blood Diamonds dates?

    I’m just waiting on Kimora to write her tell-all book, lol.

  • Kigali (I Love Stay-at-Home Wife/Mothers)

    @Eye,

    “I guess that is why Barack and Michelle get so much attention and have so much influence. They understand that the best thing for us is to stick by us so that together we move this country forward. ”

    Sorry but the sole votes of the black community didnt get Barack Obama into the white house. It was a broad coalitions of Americans. Sorry but I dont want to stick together with black folks like you. You guys are stupid, racist, ignorant and backwards. The world is moving forward and you guys still having the same debates.

    “Running behind white women only negates all your other charitable gestures Russ.”

    Only to retards like you. I am sure the people he has helped dont feel that way.

    “You are just a sorry example and that is why your own community doesn’t support you.”

    I support him and a lot of other black people support him. Only disgruntled black females like you dont support him because of who he goes to bed with. It just shows how petty ad ignorant you guys are. The community doesnt need females like you.

  • Dirty Harriet (Get all up in yo ass like a Enema)

    @Kigali:

    Oh. Okay. But not ALL females are like that. I dont care who he dates but I cant knock what he has done for black people. I remember when people were dogging him for advertising of his Rushcard in the hood, but will support them Koreans and Arabs all day. SMH

  • CattyBitch

    I’m reading all these comments from women complaining about Russell dating white women, but then in the same turn saying he does so because he can’t handle a strong black women, a black woman won’t put up with his shit, white women are pushovers etc. Here’s a news flash: Rich men don’t want the aggravation of dealing with a woman who is so high maintenance, and argumentative that they have to be “handled”. You handle zoo animals not women. A guy with Russell’s paper wants a woman who is pretty, in good physical shape, knows how to act and can be a pleasant companion, not some combative nag. And he’s dated all races so I don’t see what the issue is.

  • Sydney™

    Who’s crying over tax-evading Wesley?

    Oh, and brothers don’t find Alek attractive, right? That’s what I’ve seen posted on here anyway.

    I see Kigali has progressed from haranguing “black females” to “black bi**hes.”

    Bravo! :)

    Hi WordtotheWise!

    Black women don’t care whom Russell dates. They’re moving on with their lives. Best to him and to everyone else!

    The only people checkin for aleck wek are crazy white dudes. Thats the truth

  • Kigali (I Love Stay-at-Home Wife/Mothers)

    @Sydney,

    BTW black women like you are the worst. These females make your life harder because when a black man sees you he thinks of those black females I constantly talk about and keeps it moving. They are hurting women like you the most.

  • Sydney™

    @Capo Status

    Sistas — at least all the ones I know — have more of a problem with the denigrating comments that Wesley made years ago about sistas. His preference is his choice, but he publicly disrespected black women.

    Unless you’ve surveyed every black man in the U.S., how do you know that none of them are checking for Alek? Also, do you have inside knowledge about “crazy white dudes” who are attracted to her?

    I’m intrigued. :)

  • CattyBitch

    Come on Sydney, I like you and you have very intelligent posts, but let’s be real Alek Wek is hideous. Do you really think any black American man would choose to date her over someone like Beyonce, Meaghan Good or Lauren London? Alek definitely has a unique look which is useful in the modeling world, but most guys wouldn’t find her attractive in a regular way.

  • Sydney™

    @Kigali

    “BTW black women like you are the worst. These females make your life harder because when a black man sees you he thinks of those black females I constantly talk about and keeps it moving. They are hurting women like you the most.”

    LOL! I’m my own person, and if any man wants to judge me or any other black woman based on his ingrained stereotypes, I don’t need to be associated with him. End of story. There are all types of women within every race, African Americans included.

    I’m sure good brothers aren’t losing sleep over the women who view them through a myopic, generalized lens. You leave those souls on the sidelines.

  • Capo Status

    “Unless you’ve surveyed every black man in the U.S”

    Ok Ive been using internet for like I dont know how many years and ive come across hundreds of african american mens and womens blog or forums or whatever.And on most of them they all have the “Sexiest black women list” And a lot of weird women get put on there that i might disagree with .But I HAVE NEVER EVER seen alek wek in anybodys list(Bearing in mind she a super model).When you with your boys you hear all sorts of names mentioned of people they would smash or wife . And in my 19 years of life Alek weck has never been mentioned.EVER

  • Sydney™

    @CattyB**ch

    “Alek definitely has a unique look which is useful in the modeling world, but most guys wouldn’t find her attractive in a regular way.”

    That may be true — but I have a feeling Ms. Wek could care less about those individuals. She has a lot on her plate, including her advocacy work on behalf of Sudanese refugees. And I’m sure she has many admirers at her beck and call.

  • Selena

    At first I liked this site but now I find it soooooooooooooo negative. So what if he wants to date white women, I’m a black women and don’t care.

  • Sydney™

    @Capo Status

    My response to CattyBi**h would apply to you as well. :)

  • Sydney™

    I’m sure Ms. Wek isn’t fretting over who or who does not want to “smash” her. Ew.

    lol @ d303….very true though.

    If my pockets were deep like his, yuo think I’d be caring about what some non-exempt 9-5 workers are saying about me?

    My only response would be a picture of my house. :) And periodic pics of me at different hotel resorts, chillin for no reason. They would speak for themselves.

  • JUBEISAN

    Russ, I dig where you’re coming from. If you read this. Get at me. I’m a black man starting an outpatient medical center in Indianapolis. I’d love to tell you all about it. I will try to contact you telepathically, you know what I’m talking about.

    No BS. Just give it a chance.

  • Kigali (I Love Stay-at-Home Wife/Mothers)

    @Sydney,

    Black females have been far more antagonistic towards black men in the media than vice versa. I mean Orpah and now Tyra (ditto Alice Walker and Terry McMillan) have made fortunes off of telling women that they are perfect and men are either stupid, evil, or both. It was nice to see Steve Harvey on the Oprah show telling women that while they may have a long list of things they want in a man, a man may have that same list as well and his desires are just as important as hers. Black women especially need to hear that.

    In a perfect world, people would judge you as an individual but life is short and we make quick judgements to expediate things and make life as simple as possible.

  • Capo Status

    Aleck wek is getting money man im not hating get that money b

    BUT Im tired of people telling me to like Aleck wek because she has the most african features. Big nose ,big lips Hard face , Darkblue/black skin. The same way a white man will not like a white women who has really really small lips ,Pale ghosty skin(relly white features).If its a donkey ..its a donkey.If its ugly…its ugly . Its not self hate

    PS Get that money aleck I dont know how you do it but get that money

  • Kigali (I Love Stay-at-Home Wife/Mothers)

    @Dirty Harriet,

    I am confused are you are man or a woman?

  • Kigali (I Love Stay-at-Home Wife/Mothers)

    @Capo Status,

    Black females are manipulative that way. They believe that if you think Alex Wek is cute you will most certainly think they are cute. Alek Wek looks like members of her Dinka tribe in Sudan she doent reperesent or look like most black African women. Black Americans are kinda ignorant about Africa and Africans.

  • d303

    his girlfriend is ugly and so is he so whoo really cares? not to meantion he does have problems with his own culture and obviously himself..and she is a gold/ fame digger because no young white girl really wants to be with russell simmons

  • Sydney™

    Please Kigali. I think Alek Wek is luminous. Do I care if Jamal or Jaquan thinks she is? Of course not.

    Do I care if they disagree with my opinion that Iman and Naomi are two of the most beautiful women in the modeling world? Of course not.

    ” was nice to see Steve Harvey on the Oprah show telling women that while they may have a long list of things they want in a man, a man may have that same list as well and his desires are just as important as hers. Black women especially need to hear that.”

    Yes, they do — I just happen to want more insights on investing, property ownership, fitness, etc.

    I can’t speak for all women but I’m cool with chicks looking like her dating Russ, he’s not my cup of tea at all and even if he was (like Reggie Bush who is hot) I still wouldn’t care. It’s best to just focus on those who like you and not the ones who don’t.

    “big lips/big nose/blue-black” comment.

    I still stand by what I say about her. But maybe I took it a bit to far there and im sorry to any black men or women who was offended by that.

  • Kigali (I Love Stay-at-Home Wife/Mothers)

    @Sydney

    Alek Wek doesnt have big lips or a big nose. She just has dark skin. So if a big nose and big lips and dark skin is supposed to represent an African look she only hits 1 out of 3. Thats the problem I have with largely black Americans talking about what Africans are supposed to look like. Its completely myopic.

  • Sydney™

    @Capo

    Well, that’s good that you understand that your comment may be viewed as offensive. I love my “big lips.”

    @Kigali

    Well, I can agree that there is great diversity in the physical appearance of Africans. In the area where I live, the features of people from different countries vary widely.

    @Sydney

    Alek Wek doesnt have big lips or a big nose. She just has dark skin. So if a big nose and big lips and dark skin is supposed to represent an African look she only hits 1 out of 3. Thats the problem I have with largely black Americans talking about what Africans are supposed to look like. Its completely myopic.

    There you go talking out the side of your neck again.. You have the nerve to call someone “myopic’ HA!

  • Capo Status

    “Well, that’s good that you understand that your comment may be viewed as offensive. I love my “big lips.”

    I think the main problem was that I misswrote(thats not a word but hey) what i was trying to get across.What I was trying to say was that I do not have to find aleck wek attractive because she has the most african features.Then I described some features (not just alek but african features as a whole) . the big lip ,big nose thing .Should have been the biggest lips and the biggest nose and the darkest skin.

    I think its safe to say that the only requirement is that they are beautiful…

    Why can’t they be average looking?

    Russ is ENTITLED to DATE Whomever he wants.

    ITS is his LIFE and he is DIVORCED .

    TAKING time out of his “BUSY SCHEDULE” to COMMENT shows HIS level of INSECURITY and that he appears to have LOT OF TIME on his hands

    WHY the LONG EXPLANATION He is only ACCOUNTABLE to his CHILDREN.

    Regarding ALEX WEK her LOOK might be an ACQUIRED TASTE and she might not be attractive to everyone but IT does not MEAN that the men that do FIND her attractive are crazy.

    ALEX WEK will hardly LOOSE any SLEEP over the FACT that BLACK AMERICAN men do not find her ATTRACTIVE .

    AND being attractive to a Black American man is YET to be SEEN as CRITERIA for MEASURING the appeal to the OPPOSITE SEX.

    At MOST the Black American man REPRESENTS 20MILLION of the WORLD WIDE black POPULATION.

    SHE might NOT even CONSIDER black american men to be THAT ELIGIBLE and might have a preference for EDUCATED,CULTURED and AMBITIOUS men.

  • why white chick!

    THANK YOU!!! Russell Simmons needs some sista love…why date this young frail white chick! To me it actually shows his insecurity. we have the first black family in the white house (VERY GOOD LOOK) and here Russell Simmons is with a white tenderoni that you could find in any trailer park!

  • in the know

    Russell is not a very nice man plain and simple. My friend went up to him at Miami Beach about a month ago and he chatted with her for a few minutes before dismissing her by saying, “Well, I’m hanging out with this young lady, so you can be off!”

  • Huh? (new on here but not 2 b confused with the other 1)

    Funny how people on here try to generalize all black women as being the same but I bet these same people would get mad if we generalized all black men,white women, or white men as acting the same. I wonder why black women are the only people who are seen as occupying the same brain and everyone else who does anything wrong I always hear people say “their not all a like, that’s just some of them.”

  • http://Bossip Leah

    @SJ. I need a hug? Why is that? Because I said Kimora had a pie face. It’s not my opinion. It’s what she has a pie round face. There was no disrespect or call names so why would you go there. Yes, it was your opinion. But, your opinion stinks. I simply stated the truth. And, because I said Russell has had plenty of other pretty women since Kimora; I’m passionate. Do you know what passionate means? I stated the obvious. Nothing passionate about that sweetie. As for a hug; I get plenty. So why you were trying to be condescending. You did not complete your task. Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • VERY Sad 2C Dis

    Dear Uncle Russ!

    This slice of Wonder bread you are spending time with is far from the “baddest” chick! LOL
    Her skinny frame is the only thing that gives her the “model status”, because her looks are mediocre on a good day!

    I would think you could pull a lot better. If Donald Trump can get him a stunna, so can’t you!And do you think she would be with you if you were a manager pushing sneakers at Foot Locker instead of designing them? She’s young enough to be your daughters classmate! LMAO

    Kimora went and got her the blackest thing breathing and you go and get the whitest…how ironic!!

    *** In my flava Flav voice*** WOWwwwwwww!!!

  • V

    She probably throws up in her mouth when he touches her. He’s a gross old man. I wonder how he would feel if that was one of his daughters.

  • Lady K

    Supermodel Russ, PLEASE with that bullshit. This chic is just tall and NOTHING special. She looks like Nikki Hilton and that aint cute.

    Russ, if you really want to do something for the black community, stick by a black women because it is the relationship blacks have with each other that is the root of all our problems. It just seems like the easiest thing to do as far as us as a people is always the last thing on a celebrity of your standings mind. You try to cover it by doing all this other stuff when really, the only thing we need is a great example of what a healthy black relationship looks like. I guess that is why Barack and Michelle get so much attention and have so much influence. They understand that the best thing for us is to stick by us so that together we move this country forward. Running behind white women only negates all your other charitable gestures Russ. You are just a sorry example and that is why your own community doesn’t support you.”"”

    Wahhhh. date me out of pitty. Wahhh

    Well, let me generalize then: ALL white women are pale and ugly and want to sleep with black men to make daddy mad.

    HOLLA!

  • P

    Russell is a pathetic scumbag, let’s be clear. In no way, however, do you pathetic losers have the right to tell him or anyone else what race they can or cannot date. Most of you sound deeply unhappy with your own lives. OK, I’m done, and never coming back to this racist, hateful site again.

  • enkogkneegro

    Love should be colorblind and lets face it everyone has preferences that honestly is their business so why the anger. There are black men and black women that date other races because they feel it takes them to another level, proves something or they running from their blackness…..oh well. Then there are those who have been in the company of other races growing up, its all they know….oh well……who you glorify is your business but I’ll bet they haven’t done a tenth of the shyt Russ has for not only our people but for folks struggling everywhere and he’s pathetic because he ain’t chose to stik his dyck in you……go find some traffic to play in…….

  • Lois Lane

    To all those who keep saying why do we care who BDR dates, here’s why: He is the father of two young girls who are [3/4] black. They are at a very impressionable age – the age when ther ADORE their father and think he can do no wrong. It is hard enough when parents divorce when the children are so young, but when your father is constantly photographed with a white women less than half his age, that will affect his daughter’s self-esteem. Their father will tell them they’re beautiful one minute, then the next minute be seen fawning all over this white woman whom he thinks is so beautiful. It gives the daughters mixed messages. And I think parents should ALWAYS put their children first, above their own desires.

    The other reason why we care is that Russell made his money off black people, so it’s a slap in the face to half of the black population, i.e., black women. There goes yet another rich black man dating a white woman. And a plain, mannish looking woman at that. A supermodel. Yeah, ok, Russ, whatever you say. She might be a model in a catalog or something, but a supermodel? I’ve never heard of her or seen her. If he wants to spend time with her, at least do it behind closed doors.

  • SHAY

    does anyone know why they call russell simmons blood dimond russ?

  • Dina

    Cracks me up. Everyone calling him ugly would trip over their size 11′s and break their butt trying to get to him if he showed them some attention, trying to get that money they claim the white women want. All the sudden he would be fine.

    And Lois Lane, no, no, no. His children will not be affected by who he dates, if they are raised properly with self esteem. They will just say, “Oh, that’s Daddy’s type” and go back to their beautiful black mother for reinforcement. Nice try. Also, it’s just not bright to think that only black dollars made RS his money. Even if it did, that’s how he’s supposed to pay us back, by dating black women? Puullllease. Some of you have quite a bit of growing up to do. Nobody owe’s you anything. RS is no different from any other older rich man who dates women half their age – they can afford to date whoever they want, get over it.

  • Josie

  • http://www.myspace.com/gazfynest Da Plus- Sized Diva

    One more thing to get off my mind and then I’m done with the whole thing. Look generalizing and stereotyping is a bit over done but it comes to existence because of a pattern of behavior done over time meaning that its being done multiple times to sway opinion one way or the other. That being said, there is this feeling among black women and I believe some would agree that there is a feeling that most black women want something from black men besides love, adoring respect and equal opportunity provision! A certain level of success makes people paranoid (not saying that you shouldn’t be) but does that really make u alienate a whole group of women because of your insecurity. In most cases the very woman that was there for you when you didnt have is a threat to you when u do have? Then the whole neck poppin ABW loud and obnoxious thing is a sad excuse because that means your are using a crutch to justify a decision in your life that if u really feel comfortable making needs no justification nor an apology. Im just so tired of that feeling that I get when I think about the things that I see and the strong black women that are apart of my life and what they’ve gone through to maintain their on sanity To please a group of men who in most cases want very little to do with them……(NOT ALL Bust MOST) Keepin it 100

    Russell can date whoever he wants

    But when you virtually ALWAYS date someone outside of your own race

    there.is.a.problem. That is all

  • enkogkneegro

    Keeping it real when I hear sistas speaking up on some brotha that may or may not have bounced with a white chick it erks me for the simple fact that as much as sistas spits venom for them brothas they feel done crossed over for barbie I never hear much about the fact that compared to us good good men who have stayed with our women through good and hard times, raised our kids and supported our families……..Damn leave them nuccas across tha street and focus on us……despite what ya heard they are a small, very small percentage of blackmen but they have that right……focus on the fact instead that the MAJORITY of blackmen stay at home….

  • Ms.Chella

    @Kigali

    Even though you have this negativity towards black women, I find you fascinating, lol. And even though I hate to say it, I agree with you on a lot of what you’re saying. To hear people bad mouth Russell when he is a pioneer in hip-hop and someone who does so much to try to uplift our communities, these petty females are pissed because he’s dating a white girl.Pathetic.

    And with that being said, Black Women: We can date outside the race too! Nobody said that we have to wait around for black men to realize our worth.

    @ Kigali

    I understand what you saying man but don’t waste your energy homie because black women will never understand unless they really sit back and analyze the situation Russell doesn’t need black women love it was a couple of months ago when he was chilling with a young black girl and the women still didn’t cut him any slack I mean either way you put it sisters will never be appreciative I mean some ill and stick by you ut for the most part if you black dating white you will always be an X mark in their book. Can the man be happy with a women he wants to be with no matter the race as long as he happy who cares if she isn’t a dime maybe they just mesh well and are alot of fun being around each other. I go with a black girl and she doesn’t wear urban clothing because because it she believes that it looks stupid so she wears AE and all the other style of clothing she wears hills and never sneakers unless it is cold outside and not even then but that works for her. All I am saying is that he doesn’t need love from a black or white women but just a woman in general no matter the race theres nothing like a touch or feel of a woman period. Before my current girl my last 2 ex’s were white and one dressed white listened to rap and one dree black and said shewas just being her and thats what she like let’s try to broaden our minds a little bit.

  • V

    Black women….let’s just face it. Some black men (especially, rich black men just aren’t into us). But ot doesn’t have has anything to do with us. It is just that some black men cannot handle the strength, independence and strong will most black women possess. It takes real black men to appreciate those qualities.
