Don't surprise me..but aint as bad as over her though..Because intermarriage attacks and undermines African-Americans in many ways, but does not threaten the actual biological basis of the group given the millions of black folk there. compared to here and the different histories involved.

That's great. I'm quite sure most people here including myself are against interracial relationships in any form.

suprise suprise...2 things that always ao predictable though is some blacks saying65% or more Black Americans are mixed anyway..so those Puerto Ricans-Mexicans and Asian Indians are not mixed ay!! but still intra marry on the majority especially those with bags of money...very rare would you see them inter marry with other races fool around maybe but never take the full plunge
Also love it when YT people say this sort of thing breeds hatred how can you meet hate with hate well if you reading this ain't hate its black pride and being culturally aware something they YTs have acquired through rape and explotiation of colored people to preseve their YT culture..indebted Africa and the Caribbean for 4 or decades for a World Bank or IMF loan that was minisicule but interests rates of 40% which was passed from one govt official to another the general poplulation never see a dime or any development
Save the multi-cultural for the masses of YT and Black ignoramus who lap up your token gestures and charities and black is cool monotones....
Tell me about hate pleeze!!..if we were together would it be that difficult finding organ donors-having the capital and resources to fight injustices like the new visa requirements amongst other debilitating policies like allowing mass Eastern European migration to this shores jeopardizing the futures of many in the Black community....
Yes anyone can date anyone but when you go out of your way to not only breed with your oppressor and the epitome of beauty is to look or have you kids look like your oppressor and allowing giving away your hard earned status and money to your oppressor ....you can see how you empower and finance your oppressors operatives and machinations...
I know its the festive season but our ignorance is what's killing us..and its getting worse its all money money

That dude is hilarious. He's right though. This is the reason that people think that Blacks in general, in AMerica are doing this way more than we actually do. Damn near ALL of our high profile/"successful"/famous/wealthy celebrities or well known people go that route. Black folks in AMerica marry each other at about 95%, but if you isolate Black celebrities, the percentage would damn near totally flip, to 95% of them marrying outside the group. Proof to me, of the shit being rooted in inferiority issues or feeling that success and wealth=being with a Cracker, not just being rooted in Love/colorblindess, cause if it was, their Black asses would have been dealing with white folks all along, not just when they became SUCCESSFUL, AND their IR marriage numbers would bear some passing resemblance to the IR marriage numbers of the non celebrity Black population..

High profile/wealthy/famous white folks hardly EVER go that route, though if you talk about raw numbers and interracial marriage in AMerica, the most likely person to be involved in one is a white man. THey just have enough sense not to do that ish when they realize that they are an icon or a symbol for the white collective. Not to mention the fact that regular old white folks would probably bring the pain to them, not support them, etc. Make them sorry they ever went that route. White folks instinctively feel that ESPECIALLY when they become wealthy or successful, they need to be with one of their own. N*ggers, mindset is just the opposite, and that's why N*ggers will never really threaten white superiority/supremacy, top dog status.

@G
Unfortuantely in this media age black kids are most likely to see this sell-outs so called high profile celebs rather than the 95% majority that intra marry within the black race...sods law
All that mixing going on in the western society 'one love' yet the upper echelons of YT establishment on the whole never inter-marry that really got me thinking let them mofos keep deluding themselves....
on a recent tip funny how Justin timbalake started flirting with a whole set of black women deluding them into thinking he actually felt for them not knowing he was pushing the cool new RnB sound and image...now look at the boys proper dates what colur are they?

It may affect a few, when they are young, but most Black kids growing up in the AA community ALSO grow up hearing, just what that brother in the tape is saying. We ridicule and make jokes about Black celebs doing that. Take bets on how long before they'll go that route, when the become famous. EXPECT them to go that route. Are surprised when they don't,lol. It's not like regular,everyday Black folks can't peep this, or haven't been peeping it, for YEARS, and don't have discussions about it around the kitchen table,etc. I mentioned in the other thread, how Singer Millie Jackson had songs 30 years ago, ridiculing Black celebs who do that(my mother and her friends used to listen to Millie and laugh about it comment on the latest Black celeb to do it. My father used to talk about Tina Turner going white with derision. We were children, but we soaked all of that up. The same kinds of discussions go on in AA homes today. Trust. We know they do it and we know WHY they do it. The phenomenon is nothing new.

Beyond that, being rich and famous, in liberal/quirky Hollywood ain't got nothing to do with being a regular ol Negro that has to live and deal in the Black community, or just in regular racist AMerica. Black celebs can isolate themselves to some degree,(they get "honorary" white status in some ways, that's why so many of them feel it natural to go that route", the rest of us don't get that". The pressure to marry someone who is going to be accepted and fit into, our regular Black family/church/community/social circle is real. Not only that, just the comfort level that is not going to be there, when one goes that route, makes the idea not appealing to the vast majority of us. That's why you see higher IR rates in the dating scene than you do in the MARRIAGE scene. Marriage ain't just about you. Marriage has to be sanctioned/cosigned/supported by your family/friends/community to some degree. That's a whole other level.

It's not an accident that the 2 groups of people in AMerica LEAST likely to marry outside their race, are Black folks and WHite folks. White folks marry within their group at 97%, we marry within ours at 95%. Asians/Latinos both have much lower numbers than that, because they don't have the HISTORY that we have. That 400 year history has produced 2 very distinct CULTURES and ways of being/viewing the world, and therefore dating and marriage behavioral patterns.

You're right on the Justin thing. You always see white or even Latino celebs playing around on the Negro side of town when they want some street cred or a little fun, be it JT, Jessica Alba, J-Lo,Marky Mark, gettin NIgg*as hopes up and getting their heads gassed up,lol, but when it's time to get serious, you know who they will end up with, and it won't be anyone Black....

That brings back a funny memory. I remember when Sade first came on the scene(in the U.S.). Her video for Smooth Operator was on some video show my sister and I were watching. My father came into the room and started watching it. At the end of the video, Sade finds out that the dude she was into had set her up or whatever, didn't really love her,so she was crying. My father said: "that's what she gets for being with a white man". He had never laid eyes on Sade before, didn't know her from Adam. All he knew is what looks like a Black woman to him(her being biracial looking doesn't alter that for us like it does for ya'll), was in a video pining over a white man. That's how automatic and instinctive that is for for most AA's,lol and my parents weren't unique and they weren't fist in the air,type militants either.......you find you and AA child that doesn't hear that kind of sentiment at some point in their growing up, you have found you somebody,lol.

A few of the names he threw in there actually surprised me, but then it's nothing new.

However it is sad - and this is probably something many of us are extremely embarassed to admit but we know it's true but like GZA said, "to check faults within one's self is pure loveliness" so I'ma say it - that there are those amongst us who feel validated as an African individual when a white celebrity openly dates an African even if they're just f*cking that individual. I know a lot of girls who liked the fact that Justin Timberfake was supposedly seeing Janet Jackson and figured he 'loved' black women, but then got disappointed when he showed his true colours and bailed out on her during the superbowl incident. Same with some dudes when they saw Heidi Klum and Seal although Heidi is a very rare case lol.

It reminds me of some stupid channel 4 programme when these group of coons were making fools of themselves by driving around Southall and asking asian girls if they would ever date a black man. When a few of the girls said yes, the so called brothas breathed a sigh of relief like someone being told by their doctor their AIDS test proved negative, lol.

I've been watching TV for long enough to know that even the A list African celebrities are simply not taken seriously by their colleagues in the entertainment industry.

Heidi was a single mother as well. Wonder if she would have dated him if she was childless and at the top of her game.

@Gmahogany
Denzel, LaDanian Tomlinson, Steve McNair(saw documentaries on him and Tomlinson) and the lower tier athletes surprised me by staying within their race. They all seem pretty grounded.

@DSP good spot about Heidi Glum..which i did not know..A whole heap of charity cases in the inter racial business, especially with the men, women tend to work differently because they generally don't date down with a few exceptions..See some black men marry straight forward charity cases...but again shows who is making that cost-benefit analysis..because you or I may focus on stuff which they all things being considered don't see as important but would be seriously crucial if it was applied to a black person..But to be honest that can be explained because when they go black they are not only buying into black people but aspects of black life which may not be so attractive to them
