Lisa Lampanelli Talks About Dating Black Guys

Loki said:
Jellybird and I debated this issue a while back. My problem with Ms. Lampanelli is that she has said in interviews, not joking, that the only reason she started dating Black men (much to her families discomfort and anger) was because she allowed herself to gain a lot of weight to the point where no other men would have her. In my opinion, perpetuating the stereotype that black men are the bottom of the barrel and will take any woman willing to have them. Let me be clear, I could not care less what body type a man likes on a woman, personal choice is personal choice, I just don't like the stereotype that *she* was perpetuating that Black men are so desperate they will take whatever they can get.

I think you got it twisted. She clearly states in her stand-up comedy routine that Black men prefer women with badonkadonk. Which is mostly based on fact.

With all the coonery that some of us black men perpetuate on a daily basis, it's amazing anybody cares what Lampanelli thinks.

Some of these same people "outraged" over her will defend that BET rap shit to the absolute death.

No doubt... And Personally, im not outraged...just smart enough to know who the joke is toward.

Man, I don't care for her this woman's brand of comedy, and that's my opinion. You're telling that I'm out of line for spending a grand total of four or five minutes total typing up posts on this particular subject because there are other demeaning representations of black people in the entertainment industry (which, for the record, I don't support either)?

Yeah, okay dude. :roll: Why don't you keep the condescending, self-righteous bullshit to yourself?

No, did not get it twisted, I was referring to interviews she has done, not her comedy act, I have no problem with her stating what you say above, there certainly is a percentage of all men who like a bigger woman and more power to them if that is their preference. I was speaking about her comments that to me were perpetuating the "well I am fat and unattractive, so I will have to lower myself to date black guys, because nobody else will have me" (her words, not mine) stereotype.
 
Y'all should check out Ralphie May. that dude is hella funny. He'll crack on races for days. And he cracks on himself all the time too. Love that fool.

There seems to be a disconnect between my post and your reply. They don't seem to have anything to do with each other. Please don't project your insecurity over this issue onto me. Thanks :D

You are a perfect example to Why abortion should be legal.
 
Here is the problem:

WM don't want big girls...that automatically means that big girls are not as good.

What that implies is that we as BM have to base our tastes and preferences on what WM desire. That if a WM says someone is worthless...they must be worthless.

However...Lampinelli's remarks don't hit the spot right...she is playing into a lot of old bullcrap...but I don't have to have a WM's approval to decide if a woman is attractive. I wonder though if she would still be as eager to date bruhs if she was smaller.

So you don't mind being labeled a bottom feeder who'll take anyone else's trash?

I understand what she's insinuating but ask the dudes that date BWW if they feel they are bottom feeding. I bet you they'll tell you no.
If that's their preference or if that's the best they can't get why is that a problem? Analyze though what she's stating, the bottom line is there's truth to her statements.
As for her statements being applicable to me the answer is no. My wife is very attractive, Russian, tall, goes to the gym and sexy as hell...

Once again Malik, Rachoa was agreeing with me, we both were NOT making any commentary whatsoever on bigger women, we have both said that body preference is an individual thing and is nobody else's business. What we are objecting to is that in our opinion, her comments perpetuate a stereotype of black men being the last resort of "self described" bottom of the barrel women, *she* is the one who said "I'm fat and unattractive and no other men will have me so I will *have* to start dating the Blacks"
That is the attitude we are finding offensive, not her dress size or whether the Black men she is with are indeed happy being with her. For her sake I hope she and whoever she is dating are in fact happy, I/we just object to the stereotypical thinking that we as Black men are a last resort rather than a viable option to begin with.

Well said, but I think some people don't want to hear the truth and are ok with being at the bottom of the barrel.smh

Not really. You were going on about how anyone who took issue with Lisa Lampanelli's comedy should be more concerned with other with issues facing black people as if it is impossible to proffer a critical opinion on more than subject at a time, and I was one of the people who voiced my distaste for Ms. Lampanelli's act n this thread. I think that's a pretty clear connection.

I was going to respond to this in detail; however, it seems that Loki has already done my work for me.

Loki nailed it.

A certain group of women think like this -At least Lisa L is bold enough to admit her views/reasoning.

She's gross.

I can't believe that so many black men are willing to stand up for this obnoxious loud mouth who makes a living ridiculing black men. It's like some of you are oblivious to the fact that we are the butt of her jokes just because she claims to date black men.


At least a few of you have integrity, self-respect and standards. It's probably no coincidence that the men here who seem to be the most intelligent were the ones attacking this idiot. Kudos.
