I was sipping a beer inside Cowboys Stadium and waiting for the kickoff when I overheard two African American women criticizing Robert Griffin III, the superstar rookie quarterback of the Washington Redskins.
The emotional beat down of Griffin was harsh and had absolutely nothing to do with football but everything to do with his choice of female companionship.
“Why is RG3 dating a white girl?” one angry black woman asked her girlfriend. “I guess black women aren’t good enough for him.”
“I’m just tired of it,” said another black woman.
And so it began: The public discussion of RG3′s private life – a life where football and race collide.
I really don’t care who RG3 dates. The heart wants what the heart wants. I have long-time friends and family members who are involved in interracial relationships – and marriages — people who I love dearly. I embrace their unions unconditionally.
Still, since there are many black women in my life, I do understand intellectually why some black women are upset with Griffin and I’m realizing that the disappointment over the young football sensation goes well beyond Cowboys Stadium.
“There is a certain amount of hurt, as well as anger, for many black women when they see successful black men with white women,” said one black female educator from Washington, D.C.
“Black women have often been denigrated in all kinds of ways in society as the least desirable social commodity,” said the woman, a devout Redskins fan. “For some, seeing a brother who has not just the trappings of success, but who carries himself well, shows great leadership qualities and serves as a role model to young black boys choose a white woman over a sister, is just a punch in the gut.”
The 90,000 fans who show up at Fed-Ex field on Sundays – many of them black women — could probably care less who RG3 dates as long as he leads the Redskins to victory.

People say they can’t help who they fall in love with but remember at 1 time in history not even 70 years ago, a Black man even looking at a white woman could get his ass lynched. Not to even mention laws set in place by states prior to that making interracial marriage illegal. I guess when it’s against the law or the fear of your ass being hung, only then can one help who he or she falls in love with.
that woman has been around since hs same with seattle seahawk qb russell wilson. i had a freind tell me those women see potential and make their moves, grabbing those guys as freshman they already know the chances of you going pro.he played hoops at ohio state and told me they buy you clothes, give you money who are you going to take with you when you go pro? most everyday bros know a lot of sisters dogged out the non flashy non non street hoodlum guys.
I don’ have an issue with Black men dating/marrying non=Black women. The problem I do have with said Black men, is that when the are in a courtroom, when they are running a political campaign, when they place themselves in positions to be chosen, bought from, voted for , hired, tickets purchased (concerts, movies etc…), etc… over a Non-Black person, then they EXPECT mama/sister/auntee i.e., a Black woman, to choose them every time. Thank God, I no longer even consider choosing a Black man over any other race to provide my goods, services, entertainment, my vote…etc… That is truly being “Free at Last, Free at Last, Thank God Almighty, Free at Last”. It feels good!
This article is really silly. For the record, they’re engaged to be married, which happened pre-WORLD-known, RG3. Last I checked, the fact that you keep using the term “passed over” is really sickening because believe it or not, Black women don’t have first dibs on the Black man or vice versa. Love is colorless and blind. She was there when Baylor wasn’t on the map and only us Bears knew his name, but he owes no one an explanation for whom he will make Mrs. Griffin.
I think the author’s characterization of the women’s conversation sounds over the top. To discuss a celebrity’s dating choice is not private. Celebrities put their lives on the forefront. Not only women but also men have opinions on the topic and I am offended by the author’s characterization and sterotyping of black women.
The author, Michael Cottman is a better man than I am a woman when he says, ” I do understand intellectually why some black women are upset with Griffin.” I applaud his tolerance, but I cannot empathize with people (in this case, two black women) who put others down for the choices they make in their personal lives. Consenting adults don’t owe explanations for whom they choose to love, be with, marry, etc. Unless it’s pedophilia or zoophillia, it’s none of my business (in which cases, I would personally contact the proper authorities). So, until it is reported that Griffin is all booed up with a kangaroo or something– I don’t wanna hear about it!
Grow up Black Women it’s 2012 go find a White man “Damn”…..
The problem with these stories is that it takes the comments of 2 women sitting at a bar and then generalizes it that black women feel like this. I am a 46 year old black woman. I am surrounded by black women in friends and family. Not one of them gives a rats ass about who people date! Of course there are women who feel like they are getting the short end of the man stick (no pun intended) but by and large there is no man shortage. We are not in competition with anyone. These kinds of untruths tear us down and knaw at our self esteem.
Any of you seen the latest installment of basketball wives…atl housewives etc….dont you feel sorry for the men married to that bunch of trash….ijs when I watch lions attacking prey in the jungles of africa…it sure makes me wanna stay the hell outta the jungle..girls have alwats wanted the bad boys, now the student athletes that were ignored, suggests yiu rekindle that relatiinship with yo baby daddy…oh my bad he in prison, too bad baby girl you dont fit my lifestyle now….www.choosethenerd.com ijs..
LOVE,RESPECT AND PROTECT YOUR BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN…..!!!!!!!!
I have dated only black men, but if the occasion, came an I became attractive to a man of a different race than I am open to it as long as its a man. We got to stop calling others racist, when many blacks are racist themselves, because this should not be an issue
He should date, marry, love, have children with, who he choose too. It’s all about love. Until we get past this type of discussion, how can we be equal with everything else? How can we be truly rid of racism? The young man is in love or whatever, she is the one he chooses. Best of luck to them.
Amen. Everybody says they want progress. But not everybody wants to BE progressive. Sisters are dating white men more and more these days, as well. Get over it. People are more likely to date out of their race because we’re starting to see things for what they are. People are people. Date who makes you happy.
Haven’t they been together since high school? If that’s the case, he didn’t do what our brothers in the sports or entertainment arenas do when they get a little bit of money : get himself a white woman AFTER achieving fame and fortune. Who cares anyway? Let him play well and take my team to victory.
Leave this young man alone. What makes a woman think she is entitled just because of their skin color…matching color with color… ridiculous. I hope this young man looks at the character of the woman he feels is suitable for him. If you are the kind of woman who showcases and plays up the drama and flamboyancy of your character, you may want to downplay that part of you and showcase the more demure characteristics you also have…this draws in a man and not make him run for the hills. You have all you need in you, but you don’t have to play all of your cards or the same cards all the time or over and over. I’m sure RG3 is looking for a woman who compliments his character…he plays the ball and gets his aggression out on the field, why would he want to come home to drama, a loud, egotistical, over dressed, opinionated……you get what I mean…character counts.
Give me a break, as a sista and life-long Redskin fan, but, more importantly a sista, we need to really get over who the brother is dating. Do anyone know the origin of their relationship? He probably dated black, white, puerto rican, etc, but this is the person whom he has decided to be with. Besides, if he would have asked some of you out, you ladies would have ridiculed him (some of us can be very shallow). Reading these comments, we seemed to be bitter and upset. We know the history of interracial relationships and its impact on us (so, i gathered we’re angry because President Obama’s mom was white, huh). Get over it and move on! This young man hasnt done a damn thing to anyone here! As Sly and the Family Stone would say, “different strokes for different folks, and so on, so on”…..good luck to Robert and his future wife
Some people may be offended by this response but I feel it needs to be said…I have been married to a wonderful black man for 17 years, he was in colllege at LSU, but he was a broken man on the inside from the years of mental abuse by his mother, She had him steal for her, he got ran over, she made him pull himself to the kitchen to eat in a lower body cast for 6 moths. She degraded him and hurt his heart and his mind, but a teacher changed his life in fifth grade, yes a white woman..She bought him decent clothes this teacher helped him see a kinder side of a woman,she came to his college graduation…his mama looked great, hair done, nails done but not him.He had been raised mostly by his grandma who treated him as free labor..His mother clubbed and had men, some she married but she was the money hungry, get my hair done, go to the casino blow everything who never put her children first…She never liked me bc of my skin color, she used to tell people I was white trash..Well my good husband would never say anything to her bc she was his mom and he couldn’t disrespect her. He would say “you know its not true..” I cried for the first ten years bc she was so terrible unless she needed something.. Well my parents werent thrilled by our marriage but about a year and a half later they invited him to dinner. He’s been at my parents every since for every football game and every boxing match, vacations, holidays and at least twice a week on a normal week. My parents have given him over a 100k dollars, interest free. Did I mention I was single, with a two year old little boy and hiding from the world when I met him…People, my husband now makes six figures, owns 3 houses, take great vacations, has a savings account, life insurance, health insurance and that little boy is 19, a sophomore at MoreHouse, A beautiful 11 year old daughter, and a one year old…It hasn’t been easy but yes its been worth seeing him flourish as a man and those same black women who blew him off bc they remembered his broke dirty self as a kid were shocked that he looked better than anyone at his 20 year reunion. U know the ones who laughed when he asked them to prom… So all this is to say, you never know why someone falls for someone of a different race but ironically my mother in law died in June and I am raising her three younger children who she raised to be prejudiced and told them terrible things about me even though I was the only one to buy them birthday and Christmas presents.They don’t recieve any money from social security bc she never worked and their Dad died two years before but my mother in law didn’t allow him to pay taxes so his ex wife wouldn’t get child support.Three teenagers who I wanted to live with me so they could have a better life, and be treated with love and kindness. No one in her big family has called since she died. I live in a community that is probably 75/25 and I know its been hard on them adjusting bc they lived and schooled in a all black area. Its so hard to make up for the hurt and frustrattion they have, by the way, their Dad’s insurance paid 100k she blew over 60 at the casino…She died at 53 with no car, no house of her own and nothing to leave her three teenage children… So its been hard but I, not my husband wanted them to be able to go to school enjoy their life as kids and be happy…Oh and I do not teach my children to be different to either race, but to try and make themselves surrounded by good and kind kids , I have one of my sons friends in my pool room right now and my son is not even here…Because he tells him he has never been treated with open arms and kindness that I show him…So look at yourselves and a mans mama or ex’s and alot of times u find the problem…Happy Holidays and Love to ALL
Melissa, I don’t think the events in your husband life had anything to with race, I really think it had to do with the individual. The women in his life behaved the way they did from years of wrong teaching, which they feel is the correct way, therefore refuse to change. Lack of education, I see it daily. I believe that people fall in love, love is an emotion, I am always very happy to see true love and I see it everyday in all race of people including interracial relationships. Its fine. My youngest son once asked me when he was small if he fell in love with a white girl would I be okay with it. My answer was Yes I would be happy for him to find someone he loves. He asked me another time why all the talk about race or people being different. He said mom Dogs are dogs right? Yes I replied but there are different types of dogs but if a different dog breed mates with a dog of a different breed they can make babies, Therefore we humans are all humans and if we love and make babies we make human babies no matter the race. If a black man and a white women mate they make a human child, but if a dog and horse mate they can’t breed. What I am trying to say that there is no difference. So people should marry who they choose to, but bad or abuses behavior is different it has nothing to do with a entire race it has to with an individual. I hope I’m not being confusing.
wow is this still an issue today. please get a life….
Why is this a surprise hes a pro black athlete…
Surprising Black women only get upset about Black men dating White women, when the Black man is a celebrity athlete. I know lots of Black men who are now dating Black women, because Black women dont really care about them when they are ordinary working class Black men.
Ridiculous. This is exatly why our communicty is looked at as a joke. I am first raised by seven beautiful black women and for me I am primarily attracted to black queens. However I would not limit myself from love if my heart fell for someone of a different race. This is the point that black women are missing. I fortunately had the best of both worlds by beign a great athelete, smart, and handsome. However in my classroom I was the only black male with at most two other black females who were all after bad boys at the time. Atheletes are a product of thier environment, black women don’t understand the scars that atheletes have from the countless rejections through grade and high school from black women. Most atheletes are not the popular bad boy who gets all the girls. It’s a reason we suceed and go to college. By the time a black athelete gets to college he is scorned himself from the rejection and being overlooked for inferior guys. Woman get mad when they see the finished prodcut of an athelete but those same women could not put in the work to assist that athelete. I’ll stop the long email and speak so it won;t go over your head. RG3 was considered ugly until he went pro. Not one black woman was checking for him when he was the high school or college hurdler with olympic speed at Baylor with the short twists or dreads. If they saw RG3 walking down the street they would not care about him one bit becasue he wouldn;t have his pants sagging, a fitted extra large and tilted or driving anything with rims. The major problem is women who do the most complaining are those same women who clown the smart shy guy who took his time planning how to approach what he thought was a beautiful woman. Those who are educated unfortunantley have your nose stuck up so high when you finally look down to the real world we have passed you by. Point blank the world isn’t fair and nice guys don’t finsih last we choose to slow down and let the fools run the rat race at full speed as we access th entire situation and walk across the finish line full, happy, and satisfied. The odds are in our favor and all those years of quoting there are no good men we heard you and know our worth. Know yours. God bless and love has no color.
As long as he remembers that those kids are going to be considered black, and if he has a daughter she will be looked at as….that’s right one of those black women he rejected. and his son will be looked at as…yes, just another ni$$er…nuff said.
Black women who have a negative perspective on interacial dating are the same ones who yell racism, yet they themselves only want to date black men. This makes them racist. Furthermore, I see time & time again why black men wouldn’t date black women and I don’t blame them for it at all! Black women – in general (not all of them) have nasty attitudes and are hostile nor do they have any sensible rationale. What man of any race would want to date someone like that? I know this because I’m a product of a interracial relationship. Open your minds black women and take a long good look at yourselves. You may find that the problem is either you’re not willing to seek a relationship outside your race – which again is racist, or your personality among other things are not appealing.
I don’t think the problem is who he’s dating or who any black man is dating. Being a sports superstar, they will always be surrounded by “white women”, they’re the ones that attend all the formal gatherings and parties. The problem comes when black men put white women on a higher pedestal then a black woman. Can I say, “it’s the treatment, stupid.” I was married for 13 yrs. Went to college, well educated, joined the military where I met my ex. He got out, I stayed in. We were stationed in Panama for 3 yrs, where he couldn’t find a job due to the Panama Treaty. (Local yocals have priority for the jobs), he finally found a job on the Naval Base (got it under the table). Prior to him finding a job, we both shared my bank account without question. Left Panama, helped him find a job stateside, then I got out of the service. Couldn’t find a job right away, went to a temp agency but still hit hard times. Now instead of me paying for everything like in the past, it fell on my ex. Needless to say, he wasn’t having it! After all those years of using my military pay to cover him, myself, and our two children, I felt it was his turn to carry us. Well he bitched, moaned and groaned because he had to pay two mortgage payments (just two out of 12, and his comment to me when it was time to pay the second time…”this is my last time paying, my name isn’t on this house.” He was gone two months later, and we divorced one year later. My ex literally tried to “dog” me, throughout out our waiting period for the divorce. Although he was dating a well-known crackhead at the time, he tried putting me down in front of her and all his new “white buddies” every chance he could. I went after child support and even did so without the courts and we agreed, but when the time came to pay, he hemmed and hawed, calling me “money hungry”, so I had no choice but to go to the “man” and make him pay for his responsibilities. I say all this to say, he married that crackhead, a white woman, 13 years his junior. He made two more babies, and she doesn’t work. I speak to my 21 yo daughter daily (she was living with him), and I always made the comment to her… when your father got out of the military, I carried him without problems. When I got out the mlitary, I got constant grief. Why is he okay with his current wife not having a job?
I agree with Debra. Years and years of black negativity. My ex’s father divorced his mother for a white woman, my ex and I got divorced because he wanted to fool around with “Becky”, and my 25 yo son, told me last summer that he could never see himself with a black woman because he doesn’t relate to them. How sad.
I guess some black men feel they are nothing without “Becky” on their arm, and any white woman will do. That’s why some of us black women scratch our heads sometime in wonder. We don’t care who you date, just don’t denigrate,or disrespect us in your quest for your “Great White Hope”.
I totally agree with you on this issue. some black men just want a woman to do what they want them to do, but when it comes down to them helping out they complain and call you names. We don bitch and complain for nothing. There’s reasons behind it and that’s one of them. We are down for our man but when it comes down to being down for his woman, its a big no. Scratch my back and ill scratch yours is what is should be.
Unfortnately, this has nothing to do with the heart doing what it wants to do. This is about years and years of negativity regarding being Black. This is about years and years of Black men being conditioned that the quick come up is “I can get a white woman.” I agree, that Black on Black relationships require love, understanding, self-esteem, pride and much more. Some Black men don’t get it and some are too lazy to work at it based on all the harsnessthat comes with being black. It’s much easier to imulate. In a perfect world, the heart probably does do what it wants to do, to bad this is not a perfect world. Why do you think that for 100s of years, white men loved black women, but in the interest of white power, would not allow that to deter their thirst for absolute power. Black men don’t see themselves as the leaders of power, so they can’t possibly do anything, such as this, based on the power game. Oh well, such is life.
I sho will be glad when the whole world turns GREY. <3
If a black man wouldn’t have been with a white woman we wouldn’t have the president.
Unfortuntely, the most important question goes unanswered. It is “why should he want you”? Do you figure that because you share his skin color that you are automatically compatible. It ain’t necessarity so. How many of you females feel such anger when you married a non-black male after attaining some measure of financial success. The real core is that a Black female feels that she or the sisterhood missed out on being financially rescued by a man with money.
I find it insulting for every black woman, but we need to take a hard look into why this is happening. I can remember back in the 60′s and I was maybe 10/11 yrs old my aunt saying “black women are going to have a problem, because most black men are going to date white women” and of course being that young, I had no idea what she was talking about nevertheless, what kind of insight she had to make a statement like that. When you see the Basket Ball Wifes’ and other shows showing depicting black women as loud, hostile and angry.
I care about this a lot….Hence the reason why so many black women don’t have men!!! I wonder what makes them go and get a white women when back in his day without money a white women would not have spoken to his ass and her father would not have allowed it…..I do not support black men who get money and then give it to white communities….Here is a brother who won’t get a dime from me….
he is not going to lose a minute worth of sleep while you stay bitter and resentful because he found someone that he loves and loves him back he will continue to be a respectable individual as well as successful athlete despite of your ill feelings life goes on get over yourself
Seriously who cares! Date and/or marry the person who makes you feel good about yourself and treats you well. Long gone are the days when we had to date/marry within our race…and we worked hard to get here. For God’s sake, we have a black POTUS. Also, they were together before he blew up, so that tells you that he didn’t “go to the white side” once he made it big. As an AA female, I have friends (male and female) who are involved in interracial marriages/relationships and I don’t treat either of them different.
Njana and Melinda, I so agree with you both. I could care less. Whoever makes him happy, makes him happy!!! Love the one who loves you, young man! Do your thing!
She Cute!
In serious need of a tan I would say, but yeah she aight!!!
well i knew this was about to happen soon. we all know that most of the college players today date mostley white women rather than their own race. you first have to ask yourself why? and when you really think about it i”m sure you will come up with your answer and you proable will not like it either. you see some times when you are playing sports and a star, the white women will be more friendlier and most part yes they have a motive its call security, and we fall for it. then we as black men need to aks ourself why, then we will proable not like out answer either.
do we have any mental health professionals here?? avoiding the issue does not make it go away. willie lynch and self-hatred is real in the Black community. TICK,TICK,TICK. this is only one of many manifestations. CHECK!
Here is the question I have about black male athlete’s in general. Look at the major sports, look inside those locker rooms and ask this question. Why is it that we only see black men dating outside of their race? I know this is a taboo issue, but it really looks as though black males have been made to believe that they have not made it no matter how much money they have made or no matter how good they may be at their sport, they haven’t really arrived until they have a white woman. Black males will of course NEVER admit that this is their mindset, but the proof seems to be in the pudding. White guys seem to have no such concerns. They clearly do not feel the need to date or marry outside of their race, yet black men do. So I say to black male athlete’s when you look around the locker room why is it that your white and Hispanic teammates do not feel compelled to marry your sisters, aunts, nieces? Are they not worthy? Black males will be shown on television waving hi mom, yet marry someone that is so different from their mom! The notion that black women are thought of, of somehow not being desirable because they are to hard is insulting. And if Black athletes were marrying Victora’s Secret models or Phds then maybe we could understand it but they are not! When have we seen a divorce involving a white female and she didn’t want and get her money? Tiger Woods, and Michael Strahan come to mind. Tiki Barbers Asian wife got paid when they divorce yet black females get a bad rap. Again Black men will never admit any self hate but that is what I see! Black men look in the mirror and ask why is it just us marrying outside of our race?
Maybe he saw something in her that he didn’t see in anyone else that he was attracted to. Maybe he has dated black women and wanted to try something different. Maybe this woman makes him happy and she just happens to be white. So what? Black women should stop getting upset over the fact that black men, whether successful or not, date and will marry white women. Doesn’t mean they sold out. It’s their choice, just like we all have choices. When people focus on their own private lives and stop worrying about what other people are doing, that’s when they shall find true happiness.
I usually don’t comment on these but I truly would like to voice my opinion about this subject. I consider myself open to any relationship being a good one, no matter what color a person is. But unfortunately in America, at least, I’ve found that Black women are always considered to be “beneath” white women or women who are of a “lighter” shade with long hair. If you argue against this point, just look at how Black women who are generally successful in America are forced to make themselves “look like white” in order to even get a chance to prove how talented and smart they are. If you argue against this point, then look at how many successful Black men will marry any old white woman (some that are not even employed, let alone good looking), just to have a white woman on their arm. I’ve found that a lot of Black men who are successful and marry a Black woman, are married to women who “have theirs” before they marry. If you argue this point, do your research and you will find that I am right on this point. This is probably the reason why when a successful, educated, beautiful, respectful, child free, single Black woman sees the likes of a RG3 they become dishearted and sometimes angry. I truly believe that all of us want to find our true love regardless of skin color. But since some people actually think that Black women should not have a right to be disheartened about how we are treated, then maybe you should walk in our shoes for five years or so and then you may undestand why we sometimes have these feelings. Overall, we truly are just people underneath our skin color. But sometimes, it is very hard to make people recognize that simple fact in America.
Terri
I do agree with your comments. I am a black male, but I guess I’m a little different. I love black women too much to date or marry a white woman. Ya never know what will happen, but I love me some sistas!! BUT, ya got to admit (they even made fun of this fact on the show today) the sistas can have more attitude and not be as pleasant to deal with than white women. May be hard to admit, but lets keep it real. I think some black men may get with the white women because they can be easier to deal with, don’t have as much drama, attutide and question every little thing. Right or wrong, I think that is a small part of it. I don’t think sistas have to make themselves “look like white”, but I do wish sistas would check the attitude at the door and be more easy going. Seems like sistas are always made and angry about stuff and can’t even smile these days. Just one brothas opinion. I do love my sistas though!!!
I think African Americans have more issues to worry about than Interracial marriage and relationships. They have been existing since we have been intermingling with whites and i do not see it disappearing anytime soon. Now, for Black women who resent Black men who date women, you must ask yourself why you feel such resentment. If you doing so because you are without a Black male mate you must ask yourself what r u doing or not doing to be in such a position. We must never criticize people for who they love. I am sure there are plenty of women who want RGIII’s attention, who are Black. But some how this woman and what she brings to his life is worth his commiting to her. Give him some credit for commiting to a marriage. So many men Black and white do not want to do, but there is nothing wrong with that either. Marriage is not for everyone, if that was not true , the divorce rate would nto be so high.
Boo-Who Black Women, Please Stop It!!!!! I am From Detroit, and Most black women Here, break their neck trying to Date, a Baller, Meaning (Drug Dealer)…. They Look past Working Brothers everyday, to chase Street Guys!!!! But thats their Choice, and everybody is trying to come up. Why do U care who RG3 Dates, find U someone that Love and Respect U, No matter what Color they are. Black People in this Country are they’re own Worst Enemy!!!
It is whomever makes you happy. I have been in a interracial relationship with a white man for 14 years and he treats me wonderfully and I never have to pull out my wallet for anything. I wish I have switch over long time ago. Dont knock it until you try it. Go RGIII !
This brother parents confused him. In a Washington Post article. His mother made it a point to mention several times that her children were raised not to see color. When a black person think like this it means they want acceptance by the white society. You rather assimilate into the white culture while downplaying your black culture.
I’m on the side of my sisters there’s nothing like a black woman! f… those sell out bros..
Amen!! Shame on the status symbol broths, seeking some type of validation…
Agree with the masses, who cares and why is this news, move on.
I don’t care who any of these folks date. But this is what gets in my nerves. They date, marry these white women and say all this negative stuff about Black women and the reason why they DON’T date marry Black women that is what pisses me off as if the white women won’t give them as much grief as ANY woman.Relationships are all the same regardless of the color of your skin.period point blank.They make me sick because they want to put these women on some sort of pedastal like they won’t have problems in their relationships (wake up you you will) becuase my wife,girfriend is white.Bull!! My son is married to a white woman and i have no issues with her and i love my grandchildren I just hate the ideal that these Black men have that they won’t have issues because they think white women won’t challenge them! And I hate the direspect directed to Black women….. IMO
Me, I’m dating a fatleg alien and loving it… Yo sista’s still love you beyond the end time!
It must be a slow news day. Really?! It’s 2012 and we need commentary on this?! I think Redskins fans only care about his knee right about now.
As long as your bringing this topic up, lets not forget that black women are getting with white men. The recent story of Eve. Halle Berry of course. Blah, blah,blah. To be honest, who cares. If they make you happy, its nobody’s business who you get with. People criticize, but usually don’t know the whole story or are probably just jealous. Maybe we should all just let this issue go once and for all and stop with the hate toward the brotha OR sista that dates/marries outside their race.
I’m with you Melinda
As long as he’s happy. Who the “f” cares who he dates. I’m sick of this interracial topic. Go find you a white man and STFU.
I don’t care who he dates, as long wins us a Super Bowl!
I don’t give a good happy who he dates…..
