Why are they saying you're mixed?too easy fam.... I still got it
Why are they saying you're mixed?too easy fam.... I still got it
Yeah, for a brief moment in time you had to pledge allegiance to this chick to verify your pro blackness. And now she MAY be dating a white dude. This doesn't move me in the least though. She's not anyone I would look twice at on the street, she wouldn't give a shyt about me, and she's not out here trashing black men sooooooooooooooo let her rock I guess. It's Hollywood, she's going to do what she does. Africans just can't help themselves with white lust, it's in their blood. No point in hand wringing about the situation.
Black chicks generally don't decry IR dating when done by black women. Even if they don't care to do it themselves or don't agree with it.
I believe this is for a few reasons:
1. Black women want to feel that they have that option too....even if it's a less viable option or less desired option
2. Black women want to have a "well, black women date out too" retort whenever needed to counter IR dating black men...even if they personally don't/won't date out
3. Black women feel the need to protect or ,at the very least, not bash other black women publicly. Black women feel so berated and attacked by everyone, including black men, that they tend to be very clannish about black women topics. To the point of not calling out behavior that they don't agree with or don't participate in i.e. IR dating
4. A non-black man, especially white, dating/marrying a black woman is the ultimate form of legitimization. In a white male dominated society, having a white man, who is the epitome of power in said society, choose to be with a black woman, many times made to feel the lowest of society, is the ultimate in "I'm of value." There's a reason why WM/BW marriages have the lowest divorce rate, and it's not just about finance and similar educational attainment.
5. Black women have a twisted, convoluted relationship with white men in the Western hemisphere. Built on years of pain yet respect. White men have historically been the only men in America who could dramatically affect the lives of black women and their families en masse. Also, their livelihood in many ways has always been tied to white men-for better or worse.
Black women are in many ways tortured by white male society yet look to that same society for reassurance and worth. See number 4.

Lupita Nyong'o Single Again, Flirty With Jared Leto at SAG Awards 2015 Afterparty: Details

Could Jupita be a thing?! Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto, the sexiest fake couple at the 2015 SAG Awards, attended an afterparty at Sunset Tower in West Hollywood on Sunday, Jan. 25, where they were spotted getting "very flirty," an observer tells Us Weekly.
Meanwhile, another source confirms to Us that Nyong'o is single after splitting from her rapper boyfriend K'naan.
The insider close to Nyong'o tells Us that the 12 Years a Slave actress was the one to break off her relationship from K'naan. Their split happened last year, the source adds.
Meanwhile, the eyewitness at the Meiomi Wines-sponsored bash tells Us that Leto was making moves and "majorly flirting" with the Brooklyn beauty. Earlier that evening, last year's Oscar winners for Best Supporting Actress, 31, and Actor, 43, both presented onstage at the 21st Annual SAGs, where their chemistry was palpable -- so much that it sparked reaction from social media fans.
The party observer adds that the Dallas Buyers Club actor "was a whirlwind" at the West Hollywood hotspot. "He came in and spoke to Harvey [Weinstein] for a second, than raced right for Lupita," the insider tells Us. "He hugged her and started whispering to her quietly."
The unattached actress was receptive to Leto's attention, following his lead as he "dragged her right to the dance floor."

While dancing, the stars "were whispering and laughing" closely together. "At one point they were sticking their tongues out at each other and staring into each other's eyes," the observer adds to Us. "It was very flirty. Then Jared said he had to go but he told her to text him later and he ran off.”

Nyong'o and Leto's flirtatious ways are nothing new. The two swept the stage at the MTV Movie Awards last April, a month after their big Oscar wins, and subsequently dodged dating rumors at Paris Fashion Week.
@Willstyles said you got one white parent
poitier been saying slick shyt bout Non-AA black (africans esp) since he got here, i use to always got at it with him
he completely switched up last year only to comeback full circle.
@Napoleon and @marcuz always call em out on it
In his defense I think I know why he's "come back" though.
but he says some real foul demeaning shyt from time to time which he claims to be "defending AA's" which is total bullshyt considering this shyt is a message-board and most Africans on here don't even talk down to AA's.
To keep it a buck I seen way more WI's and latinos saying slick shyt bout AA's than Africans
that's why I said "in his defense I think I know why he's 'come back'"True.
but....
both Nopoleon is called a cac or indian or whatever on here --- and caps for Western Imperalism and says All religious people are idiots and DISSed Asata Shakur ( go search )
Marcuz post like a Grown woman and claims that if u have 1 white grandparent you should be pushed out the black community as a non "authitic" black ( go search)
and @Poitier has been "slick" before.....
but he's not being slick now.
I don't have an issue with anyone, but lets not pretend that one person is better than the next.
Poitier is being str8 up.
Lets look at the FACTS
Lupita - Has the body of a staving Cambodian boy who is only feed roaches and chocolate milk.
Lupitas father ( as blackking has informed everyone... even on other threads but nobody knew this was her pops ) --- is one of the most Evil c00ns in history - Worked with Europeans to still Billions into is personal Bank accounts, and killed a bunch of Africans......
From doing all that dirt --- dude was able to send his daughter and wife to MEXICO, and then have his white connections in the media hype this below average chick up to be called THE most beautiful woman on the planet
She is very friendly with the cac males ---- and I guess that's OK but, it's ALSO OK for some black males to have an issue with it.
ALL of this is very disrespectful to all the American Black women who try very hard to work their way into and around this corrupt industry.
There are a few more points, but I think you catch the drift
@Willstyles said you got one white parent
Breh she's not even pretty
Vibrant
Radiant
Yes but not a dime
tell them its not true
http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/2006/07/native-born-blacks-more-likely-marry-whites-other-blacks"Breaking away from previous marriage and cohabitation studies that treated the U.S. black population as a monolithic culture, a new Cornell study finds significant variations in interracial marriage statistics among American-born blacks and black immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa.
interracial couple walking on the beach
Among the findings: Blacks born on the U.S. mainland (African-Americans) are more likely to cohabit with and marry whites than are newcomers from the West Indies, Africa and Puerto Rico, who are more likely to marry within their group or to marry African-Americans, although marriage rates between these two groups remain very low.
The study also found that there is a higher proportion of cohabitation among interracial couples relative to mixed race marriages, said Daniel T. Lichter, professor of policy analysis and management and director of the Bronfenbrenner Life Course Center at Cornell. "Nearly 10 percent of all cohabiting unions are between partners of different races."
The study, conducted with Christie Batson and Zhenchao Qian of Ohio State University, is published in the August issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family.
Among the study's other findings:
A higher percentage of black cohabiting couples than married couples involve partners of different races or ethnic ancestries;
Nearly 75 percent of interracial couples in which one partner is black involve a black man and white woman;
African-Americans are more likely to pair with blacks born outside the United States than with whites.
The study is an effort to tease out discrete factors that influence "assimilation" -- a term often interpreted as pejorative -- of minority groups into the majority population. The recent increase in interracial unions presumably reflects positive changes in American race relations and a blurring of racial and ethnic boundaries and identities, Lichter said.
However, relying on data from the 2000 census, the primary goal of the study, he said, "is to acknowledge the diversity in America's black populations, while highlighting emerging patterns of marriage and cohabitation with whites as well as other black subpopulations."
Demographers and sociologists have always treated intermarriage between groups -- blacks and whites, or between whites of different ethnic backgrounds -- as evidence of a narrowing of "social distance" between groups, Lichter said. Quantifying these relationships is a useful way to summarize the extent to which minority or historically oppressed populations -- including new immigrants -- are being economically, geographically and politically incorporated into American society and to which racial boundaries are breaking down.
"A current question is whether the new black population -- from the West Indies and Africa -- will, over time, more strongly identify with the native-born African-American population or with the majority white population," Lichter said. "There also is a growing literature on ethnic antagonisms between native-born blacks and African-born immigrants. Hence our interest in intermarriage among diverse black populations -- intermarriage reveals important information on inter-group relations."
The importance of the study comes into sharper focus when viewed in a historical context. Miscegenation laws forbidding interracial marriage were not lifted nationwide until 1967, the study states. Even so, when it comes to marriage, the color line remains strong. Despite an increase in black-white marriages and cohabitation since 1967, African-Americans "remain much less likely than American Indians, Latinos and Asian-Americans to marry whites," Lichter said.
Skin color, then, remains a powerful and mitigating factor in America's marriage patterns. "
