Idris Elba had a black/mixed wife. Same with Emile Heskey. That's where it stops. Trevor McDonald, Lenny Henry, Ian Wright, those Ghanaian dudes from X Factor, the director and cast of Selma.And @RTF is so right, people complain about black men in the USA marrying out. LMAO. I can't actually THINK of any prominent black celebrity couple here....where ?!
The notion of this seems weird. I can't even think of many....the only footballers marrying black women are the African freshies.....
I saw some shyt about English footballers wives and girlfriends. Half of which are black or mixed. The only person with a black girlfriend was Phil fukking Jones (a white guy).
to play devils advocate, what are their options? what if its not an attraction thing, and purely economical?
80% / 90% of black people in the UK grow up if diverse communities with lots of black people. Sure there's plenty white people in our communities but black British people could easily marry among ourselves. There's hella Rasta man nikkas that only hangout with other Jamaicans - that have white wives.
British society is largely dictated by class rather than race. The US is more based on race. So it's not an economic thing. It's uncommon for black (in fact anyone) people to marry "up" in social class. There's mad mixed people in the hood. You working class, you marrying a working class cac. You middle class, you marrying a middle class cac etc. It's not a come up.
