Idris Elba: Black Men Not Considered “Sexy” By America

Have we now become BW, crying about us not being represented on film?

Black men are considered PLENTY sexy, even in America.

Movies are the great equalizer for WM it's the place where they're the sexiest, wittiest, get all the ass, kill all the bad guys, and be a heavyweight champ.

You mean to tell me black sports and rap/music stars AREN'T considered sexy? All nationalities of women swoon over brothas in all fields. A lot of WW would crawl over a WM to get with a brotha, and not just fat ones, either. Even NASA engineer Degrasse Tyson is considered sexy by many, a super-smart BM with personality. Name me a sexy WM physicist, I'll wait.

Idris is entitled to his opinion but I think different.

Tyson is sexy, if a wee bit too impressed with himself.

:smt006:smt006 Access, gentlemen. If you don't approach us when we're young, we figure you're not into WW. When we get a bit older, we figure, fuck it, don't approach us, we've nothing to lose approaching you.

my hat goes off to you

although it's worked both ways for me

sometimes i approach them, sometimes they come to me

either way, sitting behind a computer living life vicariously through others, is not the way

like jaisee said, you gotta go out and do shit and have confidence. you can't be turned off because you got turned down either. As men, we're supposed to be able to take it and keep trying.

Not really odd at all. As they get older, white men become less interested. So therefore they become more open to wider dating spectrum. Plus, they are reinforced by the notion that black men will take any type of white woman. This is seen by the consistent talk/appreciation by black men of "thick" women, women with "meat on their bones", women with some "junk in the trunk", etc... all this translates to, in American culture, is FAT.

THAT there is pure BS. I can still attract WM. I choose not to limit myself.

And I'm not exactly fat. I do wish men would stop psychoanalyzing all "WW" as though we were a monolithic group. We aren't.

if ur photo was indicative of current status, id have to concur

like i said, it all comes down to people living life through others

get a job, exercise, take care of yourself and be proud of who you are. you'll attract a decent woman in no time if you apply yourself and work on what needs workin'
 
How ironic that this statement comes from Idris Elba, one of the sexiest black men out there...

All i'm gonna say is there is a reason why you usually see black men with unattractive white women. If we were so damn attractive you would think more attractive white women would go for brothas but they don't.

On behalf of the forum ladies, let me say thank you and welcome. ;)

Exactly. Stack and work out you can't attract what you're not
 
Why would White men or Black women want White women to find us sexy? I'm waiting for Jamalspunky to come in on this one.

some people don't realize that and think they're entitled to a certain standard of woman, just because they're black or else it's racist

BMJ is a frickin engineer kid. Not exactly a bagger at shoprite lol. Not rich but doing well enough. Depending on age and area I say you gotta be making 50k or better to properly date

Not wallowing in the victim mentality at all. Have dated WW many times and am currently in a relationship with a WW. It is humorous how a simple assertion of reality, is perceived to be a victim mentality, as if "getting" white women is the holy grail for black men and that any acknowledgment of that makes someone a "victim"...as if something has been taken from them...what would that something be? White women?

White women are not *owned* by white men. If you see us as possessions you're pulling the BBC thing in reverse.

The man didn't say he couldn't get women he said bm aren't portrayed as sex symbols and he's right

Big dicks... it's a blessing and a curse.

I named my shit 'sweet chariot' so when I hear the old negro spiritual 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' it's not so depressing.... it's more like an homage to my junk.

Ok, I literally laughed out loud. Do you ask the ladies to take a ride in your chariot, Jaisee?
