Another cover "controversy":Essence Takes Heat For Reggie Bush Cover

[reggie2k8]

You just outed yourself in this post. You have a white girlfriend but you're harping on the self esteem issues of others who date like YOU do?
Yeah I call shenanigans. Nice try. Like I said earlier take a long walk off a short pier.

How so? I'm not saying if you date out of your race you have self esteem issues. I don't think BM that doesn't find BW attractive necessarily has self esteem issues because there are people that are naturally attracted to different type of skin tones, size, heights, etc. Example, if you a black boy/girl that grows up in an completely white environment chances are that black boy/girl will be mostly attracted to white girls/boys. But when Black Men as a whole only find light skin black/biracial/Hispanic and to a lesser degree white women attractive then I think that black men as a group, have self esteem issues.

On the flip side Andrae if a black girl wears weave and color contacts all the time I don't think she is self-hating necessarily. But when 60, 70, 80% of black girls walking around have long flowing weave in their head then I come to the conclusion that black women as whole have self esteem issues.

As a whole black people have self esteem issues and that comes from being treated worse than animals since we have come in contact with white people(mainly white men). If you can't see where I'm coming from then I don't know how else to articulate my thoughts.

I've articulated the same point but your generalizations are killing me fam.
When anyone non black likes anything different from them there is never a question of self hate ie wm with dark hair and eyes who only date blondes with blue eyes. Hm/hw who date non hm/hw, ww who get weaves or color contacts, Jews who date protestants, Muslims who marry non Muslims, I could go on and on so why the fuck do black people have to be the only ones who not only carry the burden of racial prejudice but having the market cornered on self hate. Come the fuck on man.

She can't. "Reggie" is a black woman herself.

White men only liking WW with blond hair and blue eyes is something that comes from the media. But the thing is this, it is a standard of beauty that white people developed on their own. Light eyes and blond hair is something that many white people have so for some of them to desire that is natural. At the end of the day white women dying their hair, wearing weave, and wearing colored contacts are still trying to look like white people.

Black men liking light skin women comes from the media also. But this is a standard of beauty that black people did not developed on their own. It is a standard of beauty that was for a lack of a better word "forced" onto. Back in the year 1300 before Africans really came into contact with white people you did not have African men were not running around screaming "I want a long hair thick redbone." Black women bleaching their skin, wearing colored contacts, weave, blond highlights are not trying to look like black people, they are trying to look like some hybrid version of black and white people.

Their is alot of colorism in the Hispanic community also. Have you ever watched Univision? I only see white Hispanics on their TV shows. But yet most of the Hispanics that I see in person don't look like the ones portrayed on Univision. In Latin American countries you are deemed as more beautiful the lighter you are. How about Asians that feel they have to get that eyelid surgery so they can look more Western. For the 40-50,000 yrs people have been living in Asian it didn't seem like the people had a problem with their "slanted" eyes before. All this is a direct reflection of the media and world being dominated by people of European decent for the past 500-600 yrs.

Watch the videos on this page and try to tell me that black people don't have self esteem issues. Black guys liking light skin women or black women wanting to be lighter isn't just a preference that some individuals have, but its a standard of beauty that has brainwashed black people as a whole.

On an individual basis I don't think there is anything wrong with a BM who only dates light skin women(black, hispanic, or other mixed race women), but when most black men prefer only light skin women I have a problem with it. Many of the issues in the black community stems from self esteem issues. So black men as a whole only liking light skin women is a self esteem issue. Black women as a whole thinking if they don't have a weave in her head she is not pretty, is a self esteem issue. The list goes on. I think if BM/BW respected each other the same as WM/WW I think my people would be alot better off.

False the blonde hair and blue eyed pheno type are regressive there for rare.
Would you say Vanessa Williams isn't black or many other people of African descent who have long hair or lighter eyes aren't black?
We all fall under the term homosexual sapiens ie human beings so these are traits of humans and well within the right of anyone to be attracted to it.
When ww like bm or any other non white male are they self hating?

There were people of lighter skin in northern Africa and other parts of the Eastern coast who had lighter skin and were desired. They weren't in high numbers but they existed. Was there a point where you were afforded better positions for being lighter skin sure but thats not what dictates women getting color contacts and blonde hair. Its popular period. I guarantee if purple hair and purple contacts were the new thing you'd see a lot of people doing that.
Again when ww get breast and collagen implants to attain assets that hispanic and bw have naturally no one says that they are foresaking their race or they're self hating. But on the flip side if a black woman were to do that she would be outed for trying to be white.

I'm aware of the colorism that goes on amongst the hispanic community and the eye folding problem with Asians but where any of these people especially Asians date someone white they are no where near criticized as much as black people are. Its blatant racism, you're basically saying black people should be restricted and stick with who you and other small minded dummies deem appropriate or be accused of being a race traitor.
Like I said before complete horse shit and I'm done with you.

NEXT TROLL PLEASE!!!

Andrae you are hearing what you want to hear with my post. When did I say blacks should stick to their own race? When did I say whites should stick to their own race? I'm re-reading my post and maybe I'm bias but I don't see anything that I wrote that suggests that. How am I small minded and dumb?

"How so? I'm not saying if you date out of your race you have self esteem issues.

Do you not somewhat agree with what I highlighted? Can you please specifically say what part you don't agree with. Maybe there is something in my statements that is completely false that I'm missing. Please enlighten me. I have no problem admitting something I said is wrong.

You're assigning pop culture preference to all bm is ludacris and by liking something that is considered opposite to be self hating is ludacris. Everything you highlighted is unsupported by any fact just your childish delusion but let's say your right so the fuck what. Does me liking women opposed to men make me self hating? On the flip side of that most of the gay bm in NYC that I see date wm but again no is going to criticize them for self hate. Its horse shit. This is my last comment to you sir/madaam good day.
