    To those of you who are knockin what Jill wrote i have to ask... why? She clearly isn't against interracial dating or is she justifying racism, if you read the entire essay, all she is saying is that it hurts black woman sometimes to see a successful black man with a white woman after all that we as a people have been put through.

    there are good black women out there. there are good women out there period
    its just that the black women who want to ? everybody and stress a brother out overshadows the other women
    i mean when you judge a person by the way he looks, what he wears, and what not its sumthing wrong[/QUOTE]

    stop generalizing......not every black man is a thug or ? ....not every black woman is bitter or a bird gold digger

    no i dont what alot of people esp on this board fell to understand is that love and happiness is not without its trials and tribulations instead they wanna focus on sterotypes and hype
    the black woman is this etc etc the black man is that etc etc never holding faults to one individual alone,since this woman who happens to be black does this then all black woman are the same type ?

    and this is truth.

    Our minds do understand that people of all races find genuine love in many places. We dig that the world is full of amazing options. But underneath, there is a bite, no matter the ointment, that has yet to stop burning. Some may find these thoughts to be hurtful. That is not my intent. I'm just sayin'.

    but why should it hurt any black woman to see a black man with a non-black woman...that has nothing to do with what black people have been through and all about that woman's personal insecurities...he has no obligation to be with a black woman over any other woman...his only obligation is to be with a woman that makes him happy

    wouldnt it hurt a lot more to see what black men and women do to each other after what they have been put through?

    i guess u didnt read that post becuz thats not wat I said. i never said all are like that
    but when you see one side all the time you start to believe that that's all there is

    can you blame a white person for thinking we are all thugs and ?
    if all they see when they see us is what they see in hip hop
    those who are thugs and ? and gold diggers and what are
    sure are screaming louder than those who arent

    Clearly, some of the men on this board have dealt with some birds in their lifetime (and you believe some negative stereotypes about black women as a result). If you believe white, latin, or any other women aren't capable of similar bird-ism, you are sadly mistaken. Imjustsayin'...

    1. It takes a black man and black woman to make a black person so we do belong to each other.Its you ideas of "individualism" that has your warped. You ? need to learn to have a little more respect for that which created you. Especially when it comes to you defending these same people that tried to belittle you, and still till this day will tell you who you are, what you are etc.
    2. The black women of today are products of the blacks women from slaves days. Just like white folks of today are products of white folks from slave days.
    3. The world has not progressed, dont confuse technological advances with advances as human beings. Europeans conquered the world and got comfortable, thats all that has changed. You ? are happy is hell they are letting you ? their woman, while you dont control the bare essentials that define your existence, a hard head makes a soft ass. Im almost praying for a major natural just so some you ? can understand how real it is.



    1. I hate to break your little bubble but no barely anyone is pure race, there are all types of shades of black people. Somewhere in every black persons lineage, there is a mixture of other races including white.

    2. You obviously did not get my second comment.

    3. You also did not understand my third comment again.



    Matter of fact why did you even comment at all, when barely anything you typed refuted what i posted?

    This is simply not true, and even if it was it provides no rebuttal to his initial claim

    part of the problem is black men for the MOST PART want the sexy chicks with the phat ass and what not
    they overlook the chicks that are ugly or halfway decent looking who got a good head on their shoulder

    black women for the MOST PART want a ? who out here shining and who is getting all the ? . the ? who is dealing drugs putting her life in danger. when all she has to do is get her OWN and get her self esteem up so she doesnt have to worry about a ? with money and a ? who is gonna cater to her emotions period

    but truth be told i think shes just mad at men in general

    Jill Scott was all for getting married again two years ago when it was announced that she was engaged to drummer Lil Jon Roberts. However, after the couple broke off their engagement shortly after their baby was born, her feelings on marriage have changed. She tells Vibe:

    I don’t think I’ll get married again. I’m not looking for it. What I can say about my divorce and my failed engagement is that I learned where my bar is. I used to pray for a man who had potential, but that’s not my prayer anymore. Not only does he have to have potential, he has to have had accomplished some things in his life. He has to have a work ethic, because I don’t want to come home to someone sitting on the sofa playing PlayStation. I’m looking for someone who works as hard as I do. Who loves their work as much as I do, so at the end of the night we have something real to talk about, something exciting that makes our blood flow and boil. I need my man to be my homie. If you can’t help me grow, there’s no point with you being in my life.

    did you read the essay in its entirety or are you just jumping to conclusions after reading a couple of posts? because she perfected summed it up. there's nothing wrong with a black man dating a white woman, but after being enslaved, ? , degraded, and today being looked down upon by the media / members of our own race/gender... it hurts sometimes

    what does that have to do with love though. what does this have to do with finding a partner
    that will just love you minus all of the drama and what not.
    i mean african americans have the highest divorce rates correct?
    i mean im pretty sure its not all the black women's fault
    but at least the black man is doing SOMETHING about unhappy relationships
