In my youthful days as I had a taste of the forbidden fruit. I chased women from all different diverse backgrounds, that’s only while I was fulfilling my royal oaths. Luckily, these young girls did not get impregnated by me. When It came to making my choice of who will be my Queen. Most definitely a sister. Who I’m happily married to this day.

“I Made a choice a long time ago to be a good example as a husband and father to my community”.

Vos, you are right Russell too old not to know at this time of his life what he wants.

That’s one thing I have promised myself. If I marry someone other than a black woman, I will still remember who I am and where I came from as I am sure she will do the same.

I also get your point about these black men that do make it. If they must have someone other than a black woman, why take the lowest denominator? Why not find a white woman on their level! You best believe if a white man marries a black woman, he’s going to marry someone on his level, not a sista from the hood (if you will)!

Yes Black men belong to Black women, because thats where they were planted in the Garden of Eden. They owe it to God, he gave every living creature his or her own.

Hollis Queens that’s where he came from.
I’m pretty sure that he can adopt a Black family that has loss of income and home is going into foreclosure.

Last paragraph: Do you ever see any Asian man that has taken a sista from the hood and made her a millionaire?

Russell Simmons is just a plain ole’ jackolantern. I don’t understand him at all his Asian women got him all messed up. Got too much money, fame and don’t know what to do with himself. Just Boredom. What he need to do is invest in under privilege and disenfranchised black communities. The perfect place is Hollis Queens, that’s were he came from and I’m pretty sure he can adopt Black family that has loss of income and home is going for foreclosure.

This is what bothers me about these fortunate blackmen. Instead of investing back into their people they spend their fortune on waste. Such as:
WHOREDOM. PLEASE!

God granted them favor and bless them and this is how they repay him and treat Gods people. This is the outcome of a fool when they put themselves first and forget about God and where he has brought them from..Keep selling their people into slavery…

Do you every see any Asian man that has taken a sista from the hood and made her a millionare? Only ignorant miseducated black men do this sort of thing. Always going after the forbidden fruit.

In it, you weren’t so much knocking black folks who are in relationships with other races. Rather, you were knocking the reasons.

I have dated both black and white women and let me say that both have their positives and negatives. I personally prefer black women but if the love is real, I don’t care what race they are. That being said, you do have a point about the reasons black men date white women or other women. They have had negative experiences and now put all black women in that category (which is wrong).

Personal story. I almost turned my back on black women entirely after a brief but awful relationship with a black woman from NY in 2003. She was very rude, condescending and a mouth that would make Lil’ Kim blush! She especially put me down about my situation at the time. I was living at home with my mom and her husband. Said that I wasn’t a real man despite the fact that I was working and trying to be on my own. Said that I (and I quote) “get an allowance”, told me that if my mom answers the phone she is hanging up and not calling back (despite the fact it was HER house)!

Needless to say, I was all ready to say to hell with black women after dealing with her spoiled tail but another (who got married about 2 months ago), changed my mind. She is now a good friend but at one point, we were intimate but even more than that, she showed me the beauty of a black woman from within (meaning the human being).

While I still will never limit myself as far as dating nor will I exclusively date black women, I will never put my sistas in the same category because of one bad apple.

Truth be told, I tend to date outside of my own because of where I live at this time. Most of the black women around here are very ghetto or prefer thuggish type negros. The few with any sense either see me as just a friend OR are already spoken for.

I have defended black women too with those that do date outside of their race. Again, I have done it myself so I can’t hate on them for that and I don’t. Rather, their reasons that they do it is what gets me. Stuff like:

“white women aren’t triflin’ like black women are”

“white women will buy me stuff”

“white women are easier to get along with than black women”

There are others I have heard but those are the top three. All which are a crock! I’ve met white women that were just as ghetto as some black women and had just as filthy a mouth too.

Guess what I am saying is Karen is that while we both have a different take on the whole interracial dating scene, I do agree with you that stereotypes and childhood experiences play a role that could be easily fixed. Should I ever have children (especially if they are black children), I will do my best to make sure my kids are exposed to good examples. While I am sure they will see the bad examples too, they will know that they are not the norm or if they are, they don’t have to be.
