Recently an interesting comment was posted on this site, one so compelling I felt I had to write an article about it. Here is the original comment from reader Tamara:
Hello I found out about your site as it was mentioned on another site abagond.wordpress.com
Let me say first off I am a black female that happens to be married to a white man and I have absolutely NO problem with black men who prefer white women and think they are the most attractive women. It’s all about personal choice and preference. My husband happens to prefer darker skinned women although he does find SOME white women to be hot.
I happen to be of the opinion that there HOT and NOT-HOT people in every race. I just have 2 women of color that I would like to ask your opinion about their looks that is Gabrielle Union and Freema Agyeman. These are 2 black women that I happen to think are some of the hottest women I have ever seen I can’t even blame my husband for looking up pictures of them.
Surely these women would make your hot list, am I wrong?
Now me and the folks over at Abagond don’t really get along. Well basically they made a whole blog post bashing me and the site. I guess he’s got nothing better to do. Anyway I felt that Tamara makes a good point.
First of all Tamara I want to say I am convinced that your husband is a lucky man who is married to a smart, beautiful and confident woman. You have to be at least confident if unlike some black women, you don’t get jealous at the mention of the word “white woman” I really admire that. Maybe if more black women were like you I wouldnt be so turned off by them.
Now let me talk about the women you mentioned. First Gabrielle Union:
Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union is a beautiful woman in her own right. I think she has a great smile and cute eyes. Of course her body is pretty nice. As an actress she is mediocre. I will admit she’s a step above the alluring Megan Fox but nothing special. Never seen a performance from her that left me stunned.
Freema Agyeman
Freema Agyeman, I’ve only seen her on an episode of Doctor Who I saw at a British friend’s house. She seemed okay, and she is beautiful in an odd way.
Point is these women are beautiful. And I think that’s one of the big misconceptions about this site and myself. I don’t think that every black woman walking the erth is; ugly, rude, selfish, evil, lazy etc. and that I think every white woman is some sort of goddess who can do no wrong. Its just so far from the truth, this blog was created for people; black men, white men, women of all races and men of all races at that to admire and talk about the white woman. What is so wrong with that? NOTHING! That’s why I dont like the Abagond guy, he had the nerve to get angry at me for my preference when he has an open preference!
So Tamara let me say yes there are some beautiful black women out there, and some ugly white women. Thats humanity. However I do believe that per ratio there are more beautiful white women than black women. Not to use a material comparison, becuase I dont like to think of women like objects and don’t even think about giving me that “then why do you post nude women” crap. I’m a dude, and if any dude tells you he doesn’t think sexually about attractive women he’s either a liar or gay. Back to the analogy: I want a Ferrari, I love Ferraris I look at pictures of Ferraris of all the time. But that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a good Chevy or Lamburgini for that matter.
So thanks Gabrielle and Freema, your beautiful and all but I’d rather have….
