    See this is why all yall young women need to listen to us older women school you. About the devaluing of a black women.

    Lettin' these men call US - Bi*tchs and H*'s, in the albums and videos devalues US ALL.

    So they sleep with us, leave us with the babies, and then go and MARRY - Polly Pure.

    This is an old game and just new players.
    He is not the first man to PLAY in the "snow".

    Devaluing US, and we allow it - creates these images in societies minds that we are not worthy, to be Wives and Mates. We are just - hoochies and ho's.

    I KNOW that we are descendents of Queens and Royalty. Why we let a bunch of men hi'jack or regalness. I'll never know.

    I just want to ask a serious question. Why were there hardly any sistahs at all saying anything negative when MTO had the George Lucas thread and him with a sistah, Iman with David Bowie, Halle pregnant by a white man, Robert Dinero only dates black women? It is nothing but a celebration from most black women in those comments. They say things like, “get that money girl” and “none of these black men are any good so we turn to white boys.” Yet Cuba and Taye Diggs or any other black male, for that matter, is publicly castrated when they show a pic of them with a white woman. Why is there such a double standard?

    Thank you. Here's an excerpt from Kola Boof's essay on "Authentic Blackness" that contains a little bit of your sentiments...

    America is a western society that completely fears, hates and seeks to erase black people and Africa. And I would say that most Black Americans (at least 70%)...also hate black people and Africa...but because they themselves are black, they don’t realize it.

    They will curse the photos of a lynched black man hanging from a tree as white people sit around having a picnic...but they will not give birth to that black man again. Instead, they will marry the lynch rope and produce children who look more like the white lynchers at the picnic.

    They will call out the words, “Mother Africa”...but the lowest, most despised, hated person in Black America is the authentic Black woman. And the reason is...her WOMB makes them black, therefore, she is the enemy. And they make all manner of excuse, create any and every bald-faced lie against her...their own mother...in order to place the White man’s mother above her...as a savior; as a bridge out of blackness.
    Through the white man's mother, they lose the proof. They achieve the disconnection from black people's suffering...and BY DEFAULT...they join with White Supremacy, whether they be reddish-yellow, yellow, high yellow or vanilla-bean bi-racial...they become EXTRACTIONS of blackness that mainly reiterate "whiteness as normal--blackness is something you EVOLVE from" and bellies the slave master's contention that black people (Africans) are inferior and light skinned people are an "improvement".

    As so many white mothers of biracial babies candidly point out during afternoon talk shows--an improvement on the "dark nappy" babies--the authentic blacks. So many Black Americans have forgotten that when they look upon African people or look upon the very darkest black woman...what they are seeing is the living REPLICA of their ancestors...what’s left of them...in their natural state. And yet, they don’t make the connection. Instead of cherishing and protecting the ethos of their ancestors, many of us...both African and Black removed from Africa...assist the slave master/colonizer in destroying, lying upon and degrading this image.

    We claim that there's only one race...the human race....yet we hate the Blackness in human beings. We see blackness as a deformity...a curse that White women or White men can cure by breeding it out of us. We hate Africa itself.

    And in the United States...we are encouraged to breed it out. Everytime we watch B.E.T (a true ni99er and coon channel) or countless films that highlight the beauty of Lightness and disallow representations of darkness...unless those representations are male and paired up with light or white images...everytime we see Mary J. Blige transmitting to little black girls that she can't possibly be cute unless she's got platinum blond hair...everytime we see a famous, successful black man choose a White woman or a Latina Woman (which on television and in the media is MOST of the time)...everytime we see Michael Jackson's Casper-white complexion or hear phone messages played on the news of him saying, "I hate my ni99er hair!"...everytime we step out of our front doors in America...we are given the message that blackness is inferior and sub-human and that the answer is to hate and ERASE it.

    I am from Memphis and I am suprised. I had previously heard that he was engaged to a black woman when he initially got into office years ago. He was set to get married in D.C. and everything. Not sure what happened to the sister. He had SOME white support, but the commercial that was out (the one with the white Playboy girl)did major damage, to those racist people who were on the fence. But I don't believe he would have won anyway b/c Middle and East Tennesee are majority white areas, unlike West tennesse, mainly Memphis. And when I say white, I mean, big tire having, Confederate flag waving, Hee-Haw face looking White. REDNECKS, people! But the Ford family is full of surprises. They have their hands in a lot of political pots and all of that activity,and their "eccentric" behavior, on top of the infamous commercial did not bode well with Mr. Charlie and Ms. Ann. Marrying Ms. Threlkeld is not a good look politically. He must really love her to risk all of his hard work.

    @ IMdiogi11

    There are many black women that do not condone miscegenation or inter-racial pairing. There are many black women making concerted efforts to secure and maintain strong, unconditional loving relationships/partnerships with black men. Many of these relationships have a frame of reference that is emboldened to carry on a black legacy of greatness.

    considering he looks waaaaay more white than black i would hardly even call this a "mixed marriage". i doubt very seriously that becky is seeing a "black man" when she's lying in bed with him & their kids will "pass", you can beleive that.

    That is very much true and I agree with that but I am still wondering why there is such a double standard? There are an overwhelming number of responses on those posts by black women celebrating a black woman with a white man and those comments are normally coupled with a statement about how it's because black men are no good. I applaud our black women that don't give in to this stereotype and know that there are many black men that are career-minded, goal-oriented, articulate and have family values.

    With that being said, I ask again, why is there a double-standard?

    Denise Richardson looks black also, yet I'll never forget her telling the story of the white lady who told her, "Honey you need to get out of the sun before you turn black." Denise let her ass know real quick, "I AM BLACK!" He could pass. All he has to say is "Oh, no, I just got back from the Bahamas, it's a tan."

    31 And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no BLACK HAIR in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:

    Black people lets stop using the French/Germanic term of Blonde for the color yellow.American white people are using tricknology when replacing English words with other languages because their trying to hide something.

    GingerBronze thank you for the spoken word!
    2damnsexy: you got part of the message.

    I really don't care who he marries - I do care that here is another brotha - moving ahead, and one of us Sista's should be moving up with him.

    I do have a problem with a missed opportunity for a Sista to be out front as the "Senator-to-be's" wife. Our daughters are running out of role models. A Senators wife has access to "POWER" and the ability to do greater works in the community and beyond. Wives attend events, fundraisers, state dinners, Senate Dinners, they get to socialize with people from all over the world. They can get things done just by mentioning that "they are Senator ____'s wife." I know that there is a Sista that could do this with the style, flair and politcal conscienceness, that comes with being this mans wife.

    We need to have more of our daughters seeing that there is another world out there - besides aspiring to being a "video girl".

    We are decendents of Queens and Royalty -
    We ALL need to KNOW THAT.

    Many of us do not - that is how we ALLOW this male dominated music industry to continue to DEVALUE US. AND the amazing part...black women
    actually - SPEND their money -on the very songs calling you a "H*" or a "Bi*ch".
    Now that has got to be F'in - STUPID.

    We LET our men do this, and then they drive around in a Bentley - we helped them pay for.
     

    soreal
    Harold Ford is an opportunist. He is very ambitious and this trait has gotten him in trouble. I can remember watching him be interviewed by one of the typical Fox news commentators who attempted to (and almost successfully did)expose him as a thief. He is alwasys talking about how he is a "Blue Dog". I wish he would realize that no one is concerned about him. Barack Obama has stolen his thunder.

    The black woman he was engaged to stated that she knew that they would not be married because he was married to his work. I wonder if his new fiance will find out the same? He is so pitiful.

    Lastly, to those who say that there is no response to the so called double standard (black women with white men), here is a response....
    for years we have seen black me marry other races and say that black women are unable to utilize the correct fork at dinner (Wilt Chamberlin), we are too confrontational and do not know when to be quite (Wesley Snipes), we are not pretty enough (any rapper making a crossover music video), and that we are gold-diggers (many professional athletes. Enough is enough. So, if a black woman is being loved by a man of another race, we collectively say, "good for her". At least one of us is getting the love that everyone wants and deserves.

    Well here we go AGAIN!!!

    MTO: "We Guess" Congratulations are in order???? Do you only wave your PomPoms when it's a Sista hooking up with a Non-Black?? This is why I visit this site, to smash on the Double Standard you contribute to as often as possible.

    IMdiogill: YES!! A DOUBLE STANDARD DOES EXIST. The only people who don't see it are in total denial.

    esotericdredz: Peace to you again!!! Don't you love trashing this topic??? Here's to hoping they get our message.

    @ soreal

    First let me thank you for responding with your opinion. Now let me say, wow, you honestly base your assessment of black men by what professional athletes and entertainers say about black woman? I think it may be time for a re-assessment. Aren't these the same people we have been telling our youth for years not to look up too? There is not one athlete, rapper or movie star that I aspire to emulate. It's also not a "so-called" double standard if you try to justify it by saying, "well, black men have been doing it for years." It wouldn't be a double-standard if most sistahs were on here saying, "Go Taye, you have found love." or "Cuba has found someone who appreciates him." That's not what you are doing, it is all one-sided. It does nothing but give us more walls that we have to tear down in our black communities. There are so many sistahs here that believe most black men have betrayed you. As long as you hold on to that notion you will never see the strong black man that is standing in front you, ready to have your back.

    PS to esotericdredz & IMdiogill: Yo Fellas!! I just noticed that MTO BURIED the Halle Berry thread.... I know, not the first time, but it's funny how they like to sweep ~tihS~ under the rug like that.

    That's why we need to put them on blast as much as we can.....PEACE!!

    It used to get me upset but not anymore. lol. I do agree that a lot of people are in denial when it comes to that. MTO knows it. They know they will generate more hits to their site based off of the misguided notions of many.

    Oh they sweep a lot of the stories that contradict themselves under rug like we are too stupid to remember them. lol. I have to admit, after reading some of these comments, they did forget. lol.

    @soreal....Wilt Chamberlain died in 1999, he was never married.

    Perhaps you missed the point about Double Standards. If we are to collectively say "Good for Her" we should also say "Good for Him"...at least they found someone to love them for them. I'm sure you heard of the phrase "White Male Dominated Society", so it would be needless to point out that those Males generally frown upon Brothers dating "Their" women....but welcome a Sista, or "Black Girl" (there IS a difference) with open arms. This is also why you see more professional Black Women than Men....because of the root of the Double Standard. I'm not trying to change the way you think of the topic, just showing you the subliminal side of things.

    Who cares that his girlfriend is "blond"? Do you mention that about black or Hispanic women when they get proposed to? Let's have some objective and consistent reporting MTO!!!

    A BLONDE!!!! N[SPAM]OOOO!!! lol heheheheh!

    @focus: No, MTO is above doing that. They use the term "Blond" spitefully, to rile up the Sistas that visit this site (make THEM call Harold an Uncle Tom). They won't do that in any other situation.

    @ IMdiogi11
    The references, to famous black athletes and entertainers, were to highlight their disrespectful and very foolish comments and actions that receive media attention. As quiet as it is kept, we (black folks) are influenced by what other black folks think. If that were not true, you would not blogging about the so called double standard. Are your feelings hurt that much because black women do not congratulate black men for dating outside of the race? Well, let me be the first to apologize. We didn’t know that this conversation was just one more thing to “give us more walls that we have to tear down in our black communities”. Black men… if you want a white woman, asian woman, Hispanic woman, whatever kind of woman… go get yourself one. All I ask is that you stop saying the reason is because of us. Congratulations Taye Diggs, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrance Howard, Justin Timberlake, and any other black man who is dating a white woman.

    @ NYChatterbox
    I am well aware that Wilt Chamberlain died in 1999 (Wikipedia, 2007). However, he still made the comment. Thanks for the alternative viewpoint.

    @ kattdaddy2
    All I can say to your comment is… the bytch you are probably referring to is related to you.

    @2damnsexy....they don't know @ what goes on here in da North. i got my thumbs up 2! represent!!!! anybody who knows about memphis politics know that the 'fords' are a political powerhouse. they have or have been in just about every office that you could hold in this town. i wouldn't be surprised if he did run for the governor's office. it would be interesting to see. his only problem is that he hasn't really been in the city or even the state that much. with all of the bad things going on with his family, he should try to distance himself far away from memphis. and he doesn't have to try to pass, i've seen a lot of his family and they are all beyond light skinned. just about all of them are that color or a little darker. bet none of y'all knew he was engaged for a while to a black lady that didn't work out. you never know who you might fall for, just so happens she's white. that's his business...move on with the real gossip.

    @soreal: I wasn't doubting Wilts' statement, just the fact that he was married. I followed his career as a child, wouldn't have missed that bit of info. On to another thread, waiting on MTO to mess up again....LOL

    @ soreal

    Whether I read a post on MTO or a book by Marcus Garvey, I will still conclude my own opinion. If you hold a rapper's opinion in such high regard then you are farther gone than I thought. lol. Look at what you just said, you highlighted the foolishness of rapper's and athletes. They do not dictate the masses. You are correct though, of course, I care about what our people say because we should be the last people spouting stereotypes against out own. Don't you think we already get enough of that? You talk about the foolishness that came out of black athlete's mouths. Look at the foolishness that came out of most of the people's mouths that post comments on here. That will give you a better perception of the state of mind of our people, not a multi-million dollar athletes who it out of touch. lol. You are truly wrong if you believe any of this hurt my feelings. At the end of the day, I am still my own man. If a woman passes me by because of ignorant stereotypes, that is a woman that I can do without. Also since you completed missed my point, save the condescending apology and we will just keep it moving. lol. Cool.

    It's because there's an imbalance. That's why there's a double standard. BW/WM couples/marriages are far less prevalent than BM/WF couples. If the numbers were more equal, it wouldn't be an issue. Even though interracial couples are still in the minority, black men date/marry out at over twice the rate of black females. Why do you think that is? It's not because they are colorblind. In fact, it's probably the lack of color and black features that make non-black women so appealing to black men who do date and marry out. A lot of high profile black men in the media are photographed with their non-black spouses and that sends a message. How many high profile black men in Melony Hobseon's tax bracket don't fancy her because she's dark skinned? Anyway . . .cosign with whoever said that he must really love her to put his political career on the line for that white woman. I guess they're worth it.

    I'm from Memphis and i am very surprised. Where was she when mostly black people was helping him run for Senator. I was one that really supported him. I don't care who he spend his life with, but why wasn't she around to help him get elected for Senate. Sleeping with a white woman and planning marriage but useing black people to help get in office.

    Well they say love is blind...

    When are we going to see past the color of one's skin? You would think black people would be rejoicing in the fact that black-white couples exist in this country, for it shows how much we have progressed on the issue of race since the 60s. Would you rather have a black man who marries a white woman and society accepts it, or a society in which a white woman would not consider marrying a black man, and if she did, both may suffer physical harm?

    People, wake up. Let's change our thinking. What we are seeing is just the beginning. We will see more interracial relationships in the future. So start accepting it now.

    Viewing the comments shows that racism still exists in this country, but it's not just coming from whites. It's coming from black people who refuse to see past the color of skin. If a white person complained because a white girl hooked up with a black man, black people would call them racist. But when a black person does the same, it's fine. Sorry, but it's not. It's just as racist.

    @lysadulle and bew-t

    I don't think it is as simple as love being blind. I think there's more at play. Are black men less blind because they date/marry out at higher rates than black women? Is the reason why there's such a disparity, because black women are more racist? If love were so blind, wouldn't the rates of interracial dating/marriage between black men and women be the same? You can talk about looking past skin color all you like, but do we live in a society where all women are judged equally, regardless of skin color, or do we live in a society that uplifts certain women and not others?
