Michael Jackson's most ardent fans would be excited to know all this. I like Michael Jackson a lot, so, started collecting all the information related to him (more than 200 sites).

Clearly <i>this</i> girl was a bad decision, but a lot of people in relationships give their partners leeway to stray a little, especially in a situation like McNair's where he makes all the cash. Maybe his wife knew about it was okay with it (except for the getting killed part), maybe she didn't.

This thread has been going on for quite a few days now. Mr field sir I think this is something for you to write about. Obviously the issue of color is something that strikes a nerve. a raw nerve at that. something occured to me as i read the last few posts. i live in the real world and i dont socialize a lot. I work and am cool with most folks of any cultures. I find myself drawn to those <br />like myself. currently i work in a large office with a large number of people of color. They are all under thirty. For the first time in a long time i have more associations with white folk there because we are of the same (older) generation.

You can't even be honest about your ridiculous generalizations that you wrote.<br /><br />When you say its not normal, I imagine you mean, its not a usual occurrence. Which makes me conclude that you can't know many Black women.<br /><br />You said,<br /><br />"A) Have preconceived arguments in your head and reflexively spew them whenever this topic is brought up."<br /><br />Ah, the bitter angry Black woman jab. People like you that apologize for the Black male behavior have perfected this argument. You are too happy with the status quo that benefits the BM. That anyone who questions the order of things gets that generic response. And people like me will always call you out on it.<br /><br />"B) Didn't read my entire post"<br /><br />Your 3 inital posts? You understimate my reading patience. <br /><br />"C) Didn't grasp what I was trying to say in my post."<br /><br />Naaa! Your writing is not too academic for me. Believe it or not, your point was pretty simple and clear. <br /><br />"Again my sistas, if you'd concentrate more on how you carry yourselves with class, intelligence, femininity and elegance (think Phylishia Rashad, Alfre Woodard, Angela Basset), you'd see that your looks aren't really that big a deal.

So every Black woman should aim to act like Phylisia Rashad etal. Man, you have a dim view of Black women. To even start naming people they should emulate. WOW! This is like a white person telling a Black person to behave more like Tiger Woods, Oprah or Obama. In otherwords, Black women need to be 10 times better than the average woman to be appreciated by a Black man.<br />I bet you you don't hold the same standards for a White woman. All she needs is her skin.<br /><br />"You can't possibly know because don't know me. But I get the feeling that you THINK you know because I'm black.

Which is bizarre since I do a fair amount of socializing with Africans (one of those cultures I like to explore)".<br /><br />When you show the level of ignorance about your own Black women like you just did stereotyping them while praising other races , you qualify as a candidate for racial and cultural escapism and therefore are on a path of denial of your core self as a Black Male. I know, I have met many Black American men that seem to embrace cultural and racial ambiguity in the name of "openness" to other cultures, read dating, but when they get into trouble they pull out their Black card. You sure sound like one of them.<br /><br />"You have my full attention.

WOW! Is this one of your little justifications to date outside? BW are closed minded? Isn't that a stereotype that your type guys have built up for convinience. How many Black women do you know in order to make that conclusion? Not many I bet. Atleast not educated ones. <br />Black women to you are this stereotype that only listens to Black music and like to hang out only with fellow Blacks? <br />Man, the lies you people perpetuate. You are no different from those racists that stereotype Black people.<br />Is this truly your image of BW? How come I can not relate to her and almost all American Black Women I know don't fit that image? LOL! You have revealed too much of yourself here.<br />Mixing with other groups of people is nothing special, its part of everday life. I am surprised you think its an achievement, but then again not too surprised. As for the music tastes, Oh my. I don't know anyone with such a one dimensional taste in music. But you apparently think that is a unique thing too. My my! Don't lose your self in the name of "socializing" with other cultures. Even those so called people of other races who are culturally adventurous have enough sense to retain their core selves. You on the other hand sound like one that is trying to eliminate that. Very pityfull indeed. <br /><br />FYI, personally I don't have a musical genre that is a favourite from Celtic, country, Classic, British pop, Blues, Rock , Blues, African, Middle Eastern etc There is good stuff in all of them.

It IS shocking--they are like an island that has broken off from the mainland. From their comments on FN's 'public' blog, they are at war with not only with black men, but with other black women as well! I say 'public' because a number of them have indicated that men shouldn't be commenting on their conversations on FN Blog! Of course, they freely join in other's conversations whenever they please. <br /><br />Well, if they want to limit their conversations to females only, they should post on a blog "for women only". Field has made it clear that he will not censor anybody. In other words, his blog is for EVERYBODY, including angry racist trollers--who consistently make much better sense than these women who are bm bashers and selective bf haters. <br /><br />At least the racists see us as 'one' race to discriminate against.

I like women who are open-minded, worldly and intellectually curious.<br /><br />It's not a normal thing to meet black woman who think outside of the box as far as life experiences. When black men date women outside of their race, it's not necessarily about looks, it can be about experiencing different things. Different culture, music, places, EXPERIENCES that he may not experience with a black woman.<br /><br />This goes back to what I hinted at before. We as a people have begun to limit OURSELVES in the chase of being "authentically black". We have such a pathetically limited view of what that is. Anything outside of Africa worship or obsessing over our slavery/civil-rights past seems to be frowned upon. Extending all the way out to NOT listening to certain kinds of music because "that's not us." NOT going certain places because "that's not us.".<br /><br />If someone wants to experience more in this world outside of what they grew up with, is a black woman willing to take these journeys? Yes, she'll roll when a guy wants to go see Alicia Keys, but can she step outside her comfort zone when Dave Matthews comes to town? Or will she just say "that's not us?". She's cool when you chillin' with your black or latino friends, but when your white or Jewish friends have a cookout, will she want to go? Will a woman be willing to expand her mind and horizons beyond anything other than the limited definition of what "blackness" is?<br /><br />THAT'S what attracts a man of any race to a woman of another race. That stepping outside of the norm. It's not always about looks, but about a different sort of experience that someone of the same race won't take. You see the same thing from white hip-hop heads dating sistas. He's into things and goes places a lot white women he may interact with won't go. Or Asians with whites.

Thank you. <br /><br /><i>”So its the black woman's fault that she has a low self esteem?</i>” <br /><br />Yes Grata, I picked that up when she hauled the chicken and egg argument about black women needing to embrace their beauty, so that black men can do the same... etc etc. I realized more of that blame displacement was coming. That’s her angle. it alleviates her conscience while it festers her ignorance and denial. It's amazing from the sidelines to see how she just doesn't seem to "get it". <br /><br />Fly, I don't know how to say this without being rude. What I find most embarrassing, is your lack of wisdom and your inability to apply deep comprehension for a woman of your well publicized age. And no, I am not dark skinned, which by your theory should at least cancel out the chip analysis. So I apologize if that little bit of pertinent information might bring inconvenience to you while you hunt for a different hypothesis.<br /><br />(Side-note: It's also wearisome to see that the Mr. Anony is further instigating with derisive cheerleading while he still plants himself in the midst of woman converse - yet again.)La♥audiobookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113372034561824170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-41715258979297593212009-07-10T23:42:41.602-04:002009-07-10T23:42:41.602-04:00"seems mcnair had a wf harem

I never quite unbderstood why Alicia keys became popular. She maybe a better song writer than a singer. She just can't sing.<br /><br />I like that you are trying to focus on colorism rather than light Vs dark skinned women. However who stands to lose most from colorism? Its the Dark skinned woman. Talking about it in general terms can not be effective without mentioning the victim. The lighter/white woman gains at the Dark skinned woman's expense. I can't see how the two can be avoided.Gratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531241540542666019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-48143461097289784472009-07-10T22:05:50.376-04:002009-07-10T22:05:50.376-04:00seems mcnair had a wf harem

Iyanla...Thank you Grata, thank you FocusedPurpose.<br /><br />Iyanla Vanzant is beautiful. A beautiful woman with beautiful Afro-centric features. And yet, Fly, you call her ugly. Well, to each her own.<br /><br />I also named a few other people, and you didn't bother to comment on those examples.<br /><br />So here is another one for you. Alicia Keys and India Arie. India Arie speaks very candidly about the personal growth that she had to submit to, in an effort to deal with how she felt about the blatant colorism (and sexism) that affected the trajectory of her career and the career of Alicia Keys. Again, India Arie is very open about her journey. <br /><br />I would like to posit the following; perhaps we are saying the same thing. However the language is tripping up the conversation. Perhaps we should be talking about the IMPACT of racism and colorism, vis a vis light skinned women and dark skinned women. There is a impact that can be measured and that impact is different for everyone, and the color of ones skin will be a variable in the equation. That is not to say that skin color can measure the very thorny subject of "blackness", but skin color can and will affect the impact of racism on an individual. Socioeconomic circumstances and educational opportunities will also be important variables on how deeply racism will impact an individual.Visibilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756400715246010180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-55511019661981660912009-07-10T20:04:48.636-04:002009-07-10T20:04:48.636-04:00"and since accusing folks of being dark seems..."and since accusing folks of being dark seems to be the ultimate insult for you to hurl, as such, it appears that it is true, if one throws a rock into a pack of dogs, that one that yelps is that one that got hit. you have already been called out by others for your blatant colorism/hueism."<br /><br />Now I think this is a pattern for Fly. Anyone that speaks against colorism is dark with a chip on their shoulder.<br /><br />We need to accept how deadly colorism is. Racism and colorism are two sides of the same coin. We need to fight both with equal vigor. But like racist whites unfortunately those gaining from colorism will have to be fought hard to relent. But this battle is almost lost because the person affected most by colorism is the Dark skinned woman. The BM not so much. And since society at large has already written off the BW, the likes of Fly have an easy job hence forth. This battle maybe lost already.<br />Fly, maybe if you ever have dark skinned girls you will understand the impact of colorism. Until then I doubt you will see the reality for what it is.Gratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531241540542666019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-56357969025033092402009-07-10T19:55:53.080-04:002009-07-10T19:55:53.080-04:00"This actually brings up another point of why..."This actually brings up another point of why Black men choose women of different races. If Black women don't believe in their "beauty", you won't project the kind of confidence that attracts men in the first place. I "get" that society in general looks down on Black women, but who says you have to "receive" that?"<br /><br />So its the black woman's fault that she has a low self esteem?<br /><br />What is interesting about these debates between "African looking" blacks and "Euro" looking ones ss the level of denial with the "euro looking" ones about the privilage they have based sorely on their looks. And for one to turn around and blame Darker skinned women for their position is astounding. <br />There are many parallels between colorism and racism. Unfortunately there seems to be little interest among the lighter skinned to fight colorism. While with racism, you do have plenty of white people that will fight racism.<br /><br />Light skinned/Euro looking blacks simply refuse to acknowledge their privilage like you are showing. Why is that? Seriously, you think by denying it those disadvantaged by colorism will let it go while you continue to benefit and they continue to suffer from its effects ?<br />I see some of you have taken a few hints from racism deniers. But your sense of denial may be alot more devastating in the long run.Gratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14531241540542666019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-4586621709654887412009-07-10T18:57:35.380-04:002009-07-10T18:57:35.380-04:00the pic of Obama on the side-bar is misleading...

Some can talk about it with some civility. Others can't do it without having a vitriolic meltdown. Others are struggling to become comfortable in their own skin. <br /><br />Racism is an ugly vile thing. It is an outrage to human dignity and needs to be eradicated. But in combatting it, one has to 'be very careful' not to become the very racist they hate--as you have said, Fly. <br /><br />Battling against the oppressive nature of racism really requires a stringent self-examination-and rigorous honesty. Otherwise, you run the risk of becoming a racist yourself. But some humans seem to be constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
