67 year old Jackee Harry agrees with Eboni K Williams: "I can't date a Bus Driver"

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

this nikka said 227 and Sister Sister residuals like them shyt's are fresh prince or the cosby show bytch most likely isn't seeing anything more than 10 grand a year off them shyts

She’s been working since the 80s. I’m sure she has stacked some bread.

 

[Shadow King]

Why are yall in here trippin? She laid it out clear he was nice had a nice place nice date but the income disparity was too much

If a rich man said this about a broke woman yall wouldn't have a problem.

As an older person shouldn't they be looking exactly for that? Someone in their age range and income bracket?

the marrying up days are over for her. She knows that

If she knows her marrying up days are over than a man not being her financial equal shouldn't be an issue.

I think this is where the issue comes into focus. Men generally don’t really give a damn about what a woman has resource wise.

Maybe that’s what needs to change.

We can't change it because women are always trying to land a man above them in that department. "Equality" is just a disguise for an attempted stepping stone.

 

[Shadow King]

some women have no concept or idea that they can help a nikka level up , and will remain single

According to the Coli that's impossible so apparently some men don't grasp this concept either.

 

[DatBoiHawk]

I'm not seeing a problem people should date withing their income bracket and similar lifestyles.

Yeah, but how many 70 year old RICH nikkas do you know that’s not going to just go for the 40 year old. Pacino damn near 99 with a 29 year old

He didn't have money by her standards. She conceded that he had a nice place. However in her eyes he wasn't good enough for her.

It is actually worse on a second read. First time around, I was focused mainly on the preference aspect.

These celebrities are tone deaf and cannot see the resentment that is bubbling due to the disparity between the classes. Having preferences is a okay but dismissing hardworking people as not good enough for you is insulting and arrogant. You're basically saying that you think you're better than the majority of people who have to survive on a modest salary.

If she wouldn't take that view towards her father, I assume she comes from a humble background, she should pick her words more carefully.

this is the male version of a woman talking to a pawgset representative...

"your momma is black!"

False equivalency.

It is not a statement made in response to her having her preferences or even just happening to find love with someone who is on her financial wave length.

It was a statement made in response to her dismissing bus drivers as not good enough for her. The equivalent would be a black man dogging black woman. It would, in that situation, be appropriate to point out that their mum is black.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

I can respect her for having standards because she's a respectable legend in the black community. If she was anyone else, I would have shytted on her.

Legend at what? She aintvgot no legendary movies under her belt. She was on a pretty popular show amongst the black community but that was damn near 40 years ago.

women date up...
...they want to feel their man is better than them.

it has always been that way.

no reason to take it personal.

You're continuing to miss the point, talking just to talk. Eat shyt and fukk off.

 

[Luke Cage]

These the same people that think Cinderella is a romantic movie.
not when the shoe is on the other foot apparently.

this is the type of person that wonders why women swerve them

 

[Afrodroid]

Her ex husband was a damn gay hairdresser (that’s really him in the gif)

Aww hell naw man



Someone has to put on this @3Rivers

 

[↓R↑LYB]

I have no problem with women with money wanting a man with money.

Unfortunately men with money don't want old women with money.

 

[Cap. Scarlet]

As long as he wasn't using her for money, I don't see the problem.

 

[High Art]

Agreed but the issue with Eboni was her disrespect to those bus drivers.

This. If a white woman had made the statements Eboni made, the backlash would be something else and actually a lot worse than what Eboni got. Even on The View, the white women there were pretty baffled by her comments.
