ww don't really pay much attention to who celebrity and athletes date either...if you go to the hot black men thread...or the abs thread...we are just admiring their gorgeous bodies...no where in any of those threads would you see a ww say...oooooooo i hear he dates bw...or he is married to a bw why did you post him...never even enters my mind:smt102and if he was dating or married to a bw...we would probably respond with nothing more than...damn she is one lucky woman!

Preach it, Lippy. When I post pics in the Ladies Room, I don't do a background check to see if they are into WW or married to a BW. I really don't care. I'm just looking for eye candy. I know you are talking about BW doing this, but some of the men on this forum are just as bad in the Men's Room. How many times have we seen 'Does she do brothas,' 'is she into BM,' and the famous 'I hope she fucks brothas.' I think that it's just crazy. Even if that model or actress does brothers, she's probably not going to be doing your ass anyway so what difference does it make? Hot is hot regardless of their personal lives. That's just my opinion.

But see we're just asking a rhetorical question, we don't get mad if they don't fuck brothas. At least I don't. :D
 
This is like one of the few times I can understand the anger of some black women. This is Essence magazine after all and it since its being marketed towards black females it would have made more sense, if discussing black love, choosing a high profile black male who is actually involved with a black woman. It was a goof on the magazine's part.

That being said Essence is a magazine that for four to five years straight (maybe more) had an annual "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner Now" special in whic the focus of the magazine was about IR dating between black women and white men. I can't think of any other publication geared towards a specific race and gender that did anything like that. Imagine Vogue dedicating an issue per year about white chicks and their relationships with black men or Redbook focusing on an issue anually on the pairing of white women and Hispanic men.

The reason why Essence Magazine exist is because there are very few magazines that are truly representative of black women and not that stereotypical shit you see on tv. There are plenty of magazines that cater to white women.

And its not about putting a "black male" on the magazine, it was about putting a male that at least find black women attractive. I would have taken Robin Thicke ANYDAY! mmm white chocolate, Essence would have been flying off the shelves!

Essence is a black woman's magazine that is suppose to cater to black women. I can understand why supporters of this magazine were upset. Black women are deemed not relationship worthy. For this magazine to put a black man who doesn't even date black women is a slap in the face to its fan base. Its a slap in the face because the magazine theme for the February issue was about love for black women. There were so other many other choices......for example, I would have loooved to have Robin Thicke on the issue instead:smt118.
