"Unrealistically affluent environments"? Unrealistic to you, maybe, but not to me, who was a young Huxtable out in the burbs...

Gwyneth is "awful"? Really? You're saying that she's a bad actress?

I'm disturbed by fellow black people who speak of how "white" they are.

What is that supposed to mean?

Presumably because on her show she plays an East Indian upper-middle-class woman who dates an endless string of white guys and no one else.

If Zooey Deschanel had dated nothing but black guys (or East Indian guys, for that matter) on her show, you can be damned sure that people would take note of it, and ask what the…

So what you're saying is that to you it's perfectly understandable why white women would only want to date white men, it's just natural, and it's also just "natural" for women of color to only want to date white men.

In other words, the "natural" thing for women of all backgrounds to do is to date white men.

Interesting…

I'm happy when granola bars are there. (The fruit, not so much. I eat my fruit at home, where I know it has been washed.)

If Ellenjane TRULY wants us to dismiss all famous men from admiration who were sexist/misogynist then I assume she dismisses the vast majority of famous and admired men from world history prior to the 20th century, and a great many of the ones since the 19th century.

But somehow I doubt that she does.

I'd like to show this to every Facebook simp who whines, "How come we don't have a WHITE History Month?"

test.

Well remember Elaine, the only black guy you ever dated wasn't actually black.

That would only make sense if these porn stars refuse to sleep with any white men they're not attracted to, which I seriously doubt is the case.

So it seems to me that the white women who won't sleep with black men in a scene are refraining from doing so specifically because he's black (they don't want to upset the…

Maybe you haven't noticed, but people are all the same kind of animal.

If you "find plenty of black men super sexy," how can you say that you're not attracted to black guys?

It sounds more like you've chosen not to let your attraction to black guys lead to anything more than that (for whatever reason or reasons, which you may or may not want to examine), not that you're not attracted to…

I think it's more accurate to say that men will often date women they wouldn't marry... I'm confident that there are many men of all races who are willing to date interracially but take it as a given that they'll "settle down" with someone of their own race.

If he hasn't seen his parents in 10 years or so, I doubt that his concern for what his parents think is at the top of his list.

Colorism in India predates British imperialism... it's awful thing, don't get me wrong, but it can't all be put on the West's shoulders.

Would your family really disown you if your fiancee were black?

What horrible people they are, if that's true.

You're still holding on to hopes of a Don't Trust the B revival? Move on, kid... it's a nice dream, but it's not gonna happen.

(And Happy Endings isn't coming back either.) ; - )

Another way that I could find more time to read the classics is to spend less time on Jezebel.

Oh, and I didn't mean to suggest that sexual relationships are ever platonic... clearly they're not.
