I personally think Gabriel Aubry exposure to Mrs. Halle Berry should be a wake up call!
A wake up call to all the brothas out there that tend to devalue/demean/disrepect black women. A wake up call to the black man for putting the black woman behind all those "White Women". A wake up call to the black man to understand, you can't get upset with the "White Man". How could you?
Sure it pisses me off that it's the typical "WHITE" man calling out the N word. For real, at the end of the day; we are still just a N word. Think about how many white men/women on a daily basis: smile in our face, work beside us, some of us (like Halle) they may even kiss our lips. But, quiet as kept, when its all over "we are just a N***a".
My brotha, why are you mad? Aren't you the same brotha that sleeps with white women? Aren't you the same brotha that demeans, devalues and shows NO RESPECT to a sista? Aren't you the same brotha that's afraid/hates a sista with qualities?
Yea, you are the one: the one that only deals with a sista if she's a whore. Why are you so mad? How can you be mad, when you yourself have NO RESPECT for a sista whose down for you?
Help me understand, how can you get mad at a white man sleeping with a sista and demeaning her? How can you be mad when that same white man calls us the N word? Aren't you that brotha that sleeps at night with a White Woman but during the day portrays to be Mr. Black Power? Aren't you that brotha?
Oh, that's right. You stand on the "Chris Rock" belief: I forgot. "A white woman plays her position while a black women wants your position" I forgot about the Chris Rock syndrome. But, when its all said and done...
Like Halle Berry, What are you? And, how can you be mad at the white man?

For whatever reasons, men in general find it easier to respect white women. Black women have always received a bad negative stigma and it seemingly isn't getting any better.
Black men love sleeping and dating white women but they get an angry deep rooted feeling when a white man steps on their toes. Call it a double prejudice standard.
I agree, Hale Berry should be a wake up call to us all. Especially, our black men.
I'm confused. I thought all sistas were whores. Anyway, maybe black men don't wanna deal with you black women because you are all loud and f*cking annoying. Maybe you should shut the f*ck up once in awhile and a black man might wanna deal with you. Obviously you seem to have a grudge against a black guy who doesn't wanna give you the dick. Well stop being such a whore sista and maybe someday a nice black guy will want you. But I doubt it I saw your pic.
Totally outraged to think that our black men feel like they have no other options available.
Seems like black men and women are sterotyped by both causians and african americans.
Outraged!
So sick of hearing about the poor black woman!
All you black women need to face the fact that black men will always treat us with respect.
We know how to hold em, no how to fold em and no how to walk away!
Face it, black men can't live without us and we can't live without having their big black cock.
Maybe you black women need to learn from us.
Yes, I'm white and I got your black man. yada yada yada poor poor black woman
Have you ever sat back and thought that maybe black and white isn't the issue, but THE WOMAN herself is? If you can't be proud about the color of your skin or where you come from then you will never find any man no matter what race they are. You keep wanting to tear up the white woman... when isn't your mom white? Racism does exist and I will never deny that is doesn't, but I would never blame the color of somebodies skin for the reason they don't wanna be with me. Blogs like this make me appreciate even more that my family raised me color blind. I never see my boyfriend and I as a "black and white" couple...I see us as couple and that's it. Everybody has their own opinion about different topics but if I could never get the man I wanted I surely wouldn't be using the color of my skin as an excuse.
Color blind is the problem. We are all diverse and created in a unique fashion. We are all different. Color blindness is a hiden term of racism. When you say, You don't see color; that phrase says you don't see me as an African-American, Japanese or any other race. We are not the same.
Personally, I am an African-American woman raised to value and respect all people. But until you have walked in an African american women's shoes, a white woman could not begin to imagine how an African American women feels. You couldn't imagine how it feels when an African American man tares you down. It happens on a daily basis. Sometimes, it may be the woman but more often it has everything to do with the color of her skin.
I've read several comments and I must agree with the previous, I am outraged myself.
I am not speaking for this Blogger, but I saw this blog and ran across this post and as an African-American women I can appreciate her opinion and I understand her.
If you are with a black man or if you are black and with a white man open your eyes and see color.
One thing I will say in this bloggers defense, African-American men do not respect the African-American women and far too often these type of men are with white women. Far too often these same men end up giving a white women so much respect that the white women feels she can speak for the African-American race.
You have a very keen eye and sense of examination, but have you ever turned it towards yourself. Aren't you that sista who is involved in a Black History exhibit that focuses on the Civil War period, but insists on referring to ownership of black men? How far have we come as a race when we can't get past the stereotypical Men as dogs, Women are bitches. It has become a tired facade that SOME insecure, stagnant, black women use as an excuse to never change themselves or look at themselves as possibly needing help/work/correction. You have to blame someone, so why not black men? It has to be us, huh? Any self respecting black woman knows enough of her history to acknowledge the emasculation of the black man by racist white America. Unfortunately, most black women don’t take into consideration the systematic placement of black women as the head of the black family, and what that could do to the psyche of the black man in relation to black women. The "funky ass attitude" had towards black men by black women permeates all aspects of the culture. Think about it. How many popular songs by white female groups or individuals, has the theme of "You better have a job", "You better pay my bills", "I am better off without you"...? Also, are you blogging with an asterisk? Do you not include your parents who are a white woman with a black man or your co-workers, who are white women who admittedly date exclusively black men? I bet my last dollar that they have no idea how you feel about them. I guarantee that you've never told them what you really think of them and their relationships. That's the beauty of blogs. They give a voice to express yourself away from anyone that may hear it and find out what a jaded, judgmental, shallow person you are. You can call it care and concern for "our people"; but you and I know that it’s just hate and hypocrisy. Eventually, your mask of a progressive black woman will peel off; and folks will see you for who you are. I've seen it, and it’s ugly and mean, and spiteful. If you don't believe me, check out the post above this one. There is much more I would love to say about this topic and this blogger, but I have other important, uplifting stuff to do. This is just my opinion though, and who the hell am I?
I would never come across as tho I know what it is like to be in the same shoes as an African American Woman. I don't know what that is like nor did I say that I did. I understand your statement about the being Color Blind, but that is not what I meant. I notice my boyfriend as a strong BLACK male. I know that my son is a BLACK little boy as well, but I am drawn to people for who they are all around as a person. I would never deny or try and ignore my son or anyone else for that matter of what their race is.
38 years and still kicking it strong. She is my heart, my love, my sense of existence.
When I'm wrong she tells me, when I'm right she tells me and when I'm headed off the road, she warns me. I love and adore my black beautiful women.
In all nationalities nothing or no other race comes near and dear as my beautiful SIS.
I love you SIS for who you are and how strong you stand.
