Mike Tyson 'Why Don't My Kids Date Black Kids?'

[MicIsGod]

Where do you get this from?

I don't buy it

Just from life experience and observation. Women can be generally meaner to men they don’t find attractive or of some importance. Not really gender specific either, just a human thing. People date outside their race because it’s a different experience.

c00ning is a learned behavior Mike.

DOES MIKE NOT DATE/MARRY BLACK WOMEN?

SHOULDNT THAT BE A "LEARNED BEHAVIOR"?

[get these nets]

Some people will diss Jack & Jill, and Black wealthy people having clubs and networks.
And in the same breath , will blame new money Black people for not putting their kids in environments with other Black people.

Yep!

Bottom line,

There are men who simply don't like masculine women. They also don't like women who are loud, obnoxious, pretentious, condescending, snarky, snooty, ratchet, etc.

The aforementioned comes in all shapes, sizes, colors and socioeconomic brackets.

Iron Mike is my 2nd favorite boxer of all time! A living legend! Would love to meet him one day!

But, maybe he will accept that his kids have their own mind and choose to associate with ppl they bond with. They are still young enough to find their way. He lucky they aren't trifling.

and effin their lives up.

All facts. And to be clear, different experience doesn’t equal better experience. White chick may be just as aggressive or masculine but it presents in way different than bros sister, so he doesn’t really see it that way. It’s all environment.

I don't believe it, this is mostly a minority, in my experience

Most people who date IR just do it because it happened. People who do it because "women of my group are bad" are a minority

Most peole don't have a problem with women of their group, even though it's not equal among groups. For instance, black women image have been affected by decades or centuries of propaganda and racism. We can't act like this has no effect of black boys reaction to black women.

It's not the same with white men/women

Mike Tyson got 7 kids and you dont really hear about them getting in trouble or in the news, so he must have done a good job somehow.

Are they ALL dating white people, something is up

Yeah

Who knows, man? Maybe Mike's son like white or Hispanic girls? Kids these days don't get caught up in racial politics like that unless they are in an environment that pushes racial politics.

Seem like privileged kids who likes to cavort with other privileged kids??

Thought ppl are supposed to stay in their lane? Isn't that what they are doing?

End of the day, I hear what IMT is saying. Not mad @ him. He wants his Blk kids to date other Blk kids. Would never be mad at that!

I think you misunderstood what I was saying, I’m not saying it’s the ONLY reason people date out. I’m saying it’s a reason, and most likely what Mike Tyson’s kids experience. Yeah it just happens also, but usually theres an underlying psychology that lead them there. White women can be just as mean and aggressive as black women, it just shows up a little different. Ask the divorced white brehs. Lol

I understand how Iron Mike feel. Most parents want their kids to date and marry ppl that look like them. That is how ppl are socially constructed.

But, one interesting point IMT made regarding his son..

Said that his son didn't want to date girls who acted like his sister.

Found that to be interesting..

His sister is probably exhibiting masculine behavior & is turned off by it. Unfortunately, the color aspect comes into play.

So, maybe the son will gravitate toward Blk girls more if he is around those who are a lil more on the demure and feminine side of the game.

So, IMT, in a way you did answer your own question..

If endogamy was that important to you, then you should have done a better job with putting your kids in environments that would allow them to intermingle with Blk kids on their level.

Otherwise, welcome to possibly becoming a grandfather to blended families down the line. *shrugs*

A lot of ppl won’t point this out.
His son doesn’t want to date girls who act like his sister. Hmmmm

How is IMT “raising” his daughter?? Why is his Black daughter behaving in a way that is possibly masculine/less feminine than the girls around them? That’s not a Black thing, per sè, but a cultural or household thing. Is she being influenced by social media/entertainment? Or is this a household thing? She doesn’t have feminine influences in her household? Maybe there aren’t enough girls who look like her who she can connect with.




As you stated- Should’ve had his kids around other rich Black folks.

Please keep in mind that you have ppl on this site who don't really function with ppl outside of their social circle.

So, their viewpoints are going to be skewed.

I get it.

Ppl who grew up in an all Blk environment may not understand the mindset of a Blk person who grew up in a mostly non Blk environment.

Can't relate to them, so they isolate the latter, stereotype them and accuse them of being this, that and a third. Then, hold the latter to standards that they would not allow the latter to hold onto them.


It beez like that sometimes..
