Train hard, fight easy
Comments were made years ago. Caused a huge uproar amongst the sistas. Did/do you agree or disagree with what he said?
“Dating an Asian woman at the time, Snipes weighed in on how he thought black women felt about black men dating “outside of the race.” He said there are still black women who “get an attitude” about black men with Asian, white or Hispanic women.
His theory for why: “I know we’ve all been hurt and we’re all very wounded. We have to acknowledge that, both male and female, in the black experience. We’re a wounded people. And we want to possess and we want to own. We don’t want to compromise. We feel like we’ve compromised enough. But in any relationship, you have to compromise.”
He should probably have stopped there, but he continued by explaining what successful black men do not want to encounter. In response to a question posed to him during the interview, Snipes made comments regarding a man not wanting to come home to someone who’s going to be mean and aggravating and unkind and who is going to be ‘please me, please,’ that many believed were directed towards black women.
When he was asked to clarify, Snipes asserted that he did not mean a black woman cannot be the type of woman that a man wants to come home to before putting his proverbial “foot in his mouth,” by adding, “I want to come home and I don’t want to argue. I want to be pleasing, but if I ask you to get me a glass of water, you’re going to say, ‘Them days is over.’ Please. Come on,” Snipes explained.” -
