I fully agree.
If I hear that someone who i'm interested in has dated a white man, she will instantly lose some value for me.
I'm not gonna dog her for it, I don't really care. But yeah being 100 honest, it does mean something
Retrospect: Jill Scott’s perspective on interracial relationships
- Thread starter Kerkum
- Start date
I love Jill Scott and have all her CDs, but lets be real she LOVES roughnecks. Sings shamelessly about it too. My guess is she had some backup plan beta hanging around just in case she couldn't get Tyrone to act right, but Becky had other plans and scooped him up while she was looking the other way.

Watch the video for A Long Walk and you'll see where Jill is coming from. Philly girls that were coming up in the neo soul era, that are now 30 to 40 love themselves being Black and their mates being Black 100%.
Somehow,new age feminism and self hatred aligned being un-apologetically Black with rejecting normalization of traditional Black relationships.
Jill actually loves Black people and being Black. It's hard to see other people not loving things that look like them, and compliment them. I get it.

Times have changed like a mug. It’s crazy how a lot of shyt that “Shea Butters” get associated with nowadays were a straight up no go for their predecessors.
People that you respect and admire you kind of want them to live up to whatever ir is in your head as befitting them.
I wouldn’t go as far as feeling betrayed. I don’t care that much.
Like Obama - if he has a white wife the black community wouldn’t rock with him the same way to get elected. We don’t care that much - look at Mike, Prince, Kanye etc.
I think it’s tied with ‘realness’.
I might make a thread about this. One of my best friends finally got into a real relationship for the first time (he’s 26) - actually claiming the chick.
She’s a plain jane Becky. Mentally, that shows we are in totally different headspace. And I’ve probably lost a little respect for him.
That’s my ace boon c00n but I don’t respect it.

You ain't lying breh. It's a fukking mess. Most of em are fantasy role playing dress up on some Stockholm syndrome tip.
I guess, the times change, and people change. I remember when interracial relationships were because 2 mufukkas actually loved each other, not making a social statement.
Social media changed the game.
Totally different era. Jill-Scott, Badu and Lauryn would all be considered ‘hoteps’ By today’s standards.Times have changed like a mug. It’s crazy how a lot of shyt that “Shea Butters” get associated with nowadays were a straight up no go for their predecessors.

WTF we listening to someone whos marriage failed. She picked a shytty dude. And she damn sure ain't checking for most coli cats. so what does it matter. this argument about Black marriage is silly, NOT because it doesn't come from an intellectual perspective, but because it completely ignores human nature. People gravitate to people who gravitate to them. Also, who the fukk would I care shyts on who I marry when I'm gonna live to be 70 and rot as dust in the ground. It's dumb.

Did she wince because her friend rejected black love for cac love? Or........did she wince because her friend was SUCCESSFUL and decided to swim in Lake Becky?
I understand where sistas like her are coming from, but if dude looked like Flava Flav making $50k/year living a regular existence....most females wouldn't care including her. No matter how fine a white woman is, if the breh is short, not especially attractive etc., he probably ain't getting much hate. It's what I call "Conditional Opposition." You're not really against the relationship as long as it's with men that you don't desire all that much. Different story for the Chadwick/Chestnut looking brehs

Guess there aren't too many real Black folks in the community on the Coli, because these posters on here go hard for White women.
I know a lot of Black people that may hold those beliefs, but get shook if you anything like that in public.
Especially conservative Black people.
Majority of black females have the same views as Jill on this topic.
