I have to say after reading the comments on the Debra Dickerson’s article at Salon.com, I really don’t give a crap if Owen Wilson and Vince Vaugh didn’t crash a black wedding. or that they didnt’ want to seduce black women. “I don’t want you to want me”. As a black women I have come to realise, that because of the media representation of me, some men won’t want to date me, and what does that tell me? It tells me that if these men can’t see past the media stereotypes than they are not worth my time and energy and i want nothing to do with a man who’s only interested on what’s on the surface. If they are not interested whatever you can’t force people to be attrated to you, if you did than you are desperate. Who cares what these two white men think of us black women. I’ts Owen wilson and Vince Vaungh. We should want people who want us for the beautiful people that we are regardless of their color. Just find one person that wants to be with and you want to be with. 6 billion of us on the planet there’s bound to be someone who’ll want you and who’ll look past skin color and see you like the woman of his dreams.

Bill freaks me out.

He’s into REAL women. Whatever the hell that means (real sassy I bet). His “real” women are both rather nasty.

Compare this w/ the Debra Dickerson article.

Hilarious! I’d totally forgotten about that pathetic “Kill Whitey” bullshit.

However, upon reading the comments now, I can’t help wanting to strangle that “williamsburg hip-hop star” dude all over again.

Ahh, good times!

The sad part about white kids interpreting blackness
is that it’s their pathetic attempt to glom onto
an identity and create something inherently interesting, provocative or compelling about their lives.

Because once you take away the blackface and booty padding, most of these kids are just consumerist fools.
