Still not sure why she keeps on acussing others,

Re: Marriage Squeeze: Is This Only An African American Woman's Problem? by AmerOmoge(f): 6:19pm On May 08, 2007
This poem was written long before the article and this thread:
I’m not a racist but
I’m not a racist but, I get sick to my stomach, when I see a brother with a white chick
Now the world may think that I am envious or may even say I am jealous But how can the mother of the human race wear a green face
See it’s not that I want to take her place, The issue is much greater and I need to express my feelings with a bit of grace

I’m not a racist but, How dare you put her before me, treating her like the Queen only I can be
The thought alone puts me in a rage Shut up and listen while I express myself on this page
You say I am full of drama, Ooo you know what let me lower my voice and speak a little calmer
Sitting here telling me you an equal opportunity lover, Trying to convince me LOVE knows no color

I’m not a racist but, I lose respect for you as a MAN, She wont ever understand, regardless to how much she tans
She can NEVER be who I am, I am your friend, your lover your sista, your partner, your wife, I am the air you breathe that gives you life
Biblically, I am your neck, your EVE, and even the mother of your seeds, I am not a racist but, can’t you see your involvement with her is destroying the us in we.
Re: Marriage Squeeze: Is This Only An African American Woman's Problem? by RedLips3(f): 6:22pm On May 08, 2007
That is indeed racism if it actually makes you sick to see an interracial couple.

Dont know why you girls are fooling yourselves.

Darling you are free to think whatever you wish but I know what racism is and as a black people or as black people we do not possess the wealth to be racist, Am I discriminatory maybe but so are you and everyone else, when you choose red over blue or green over yellow. But having preferences do not make one a racist.  The individual must possess power in order to due so.  Just as women can't be sexist blacks cant be racist!!!

Re: Marriage Squeeze: Is This Only An African American Woman's Problem? by RedLips3(f): 7:01pm On May 08, 2007
Ikomi, can you please show me where I ever said I was against interracial relationships? I believe I even mentioned that I was in one for a couple of years

All I said is that most black males, the ones who arent rich should stop dating the ugly ones.

Ameromoge is there yelling how blacks can't be racist yet posted some dumb poem about some woman claiming not to be racist. Since blacks supposedly can't be racist then what exactly is the point of the whole "I'm not racist but, " nonsense?

Maybe if people didnt spend so much time wondering why certain people are with someone else maybe then they'd have free time to have someone instead of constantly whining about being alone. You claim that black men only come back after the white females have taken them to the cleaners, so how about not taking those losers back then? They do it because you weaklings know you'll take his lame broke ass back.  You run around having his bastard children, accepting 15 years relationships that never go anywhere then when he leaves your ass, you start going on about how you have to do so much and cater for so much with no one helping. Maybe if you didnt give yourselves so freely then they wouldnt take you for granted. Have you ever wondered why they put more effort in their relationships with these white women than they do with you girls? Because they usually make them work for it. Have some pride instead of just taking any idiot all in the name of him being black and stop waiting for them to eventually come back because they probably wont and there you will be 55, still singing some hate-filled poem.


What the hell was the point of the civil rights movement when you people pretty much still want to be segregated? Perhaps you would have perferred if America was back in the era where being seen with a white female was enough to be murdered.

Berra join the nation of Islam and find a "brother" there, last I heard they werent allowed to date white women.
Re: Marriage Squeeze: Is This Only An African American Woman's Problem? by AmerOmoge(f): 7:22pm On May 08, 2007
Again Red_Lips you are free to think what you wish, no one ever stated that you need to agree!
No one here whining about being alone!!!Please don't get it twisted, poetry is creative expression try using your imagination, Maybe it is titled that way because people like yourself who don't know better see the statements made as racism, it so that they can understand.

But if you want to say we have low self esteem or imply it maybe you should take your interracial couple loving ass and post a thread praising it's glory as for this thread you wont find it here.

I will assume when you use the word "you" you are referring to women in general especially with regards to relationships, but if you didn't do the same things(make the same mistakes) wit that white man you'd still be with him.  Because if you paid attention to the women of the thread we can stand alone with or without a man.  But you want to see our love, passion and compassion for our culture, hertiage, community and future as a people as a weakness, Then I say again to you, you are free to think as you wish as I am, And if loving my people and wanting us to grow strong families is a weakness then call me WEAK O'jare!!!!

I will agree to disagree with you Red-Lips, being a woman of opinion I respect that we each have one!!
Re: Marriage Squeeze: Is This Only An African American Woman's Problem? by RedLips3(f): 7:48pm On May 08, 2007
Why do you keep telling me that I'm free to think what I wish? I would think it was obvious that I had that right. No need to state the obvious my dear.

no one is whining about being alone, lol, no offence dear but you've been doing that all over Nairaland. Btw Im gonna ignore that comment you made about my ex since you are just bitter. that so called mistake was the best mistake of my life.

Anyway, I found that poem you quoted to be highly depressing. Almost pathetic really. Like a dog begging for love. "please come to me, leave that woman alone and love me. I deserve you not her", almost like an episode of Grey's Anatomy.

You make it seem like EVERY black guy is dating a white woman. That the black and African culture are in danger. Not really. Maybe you should stop going after the ones that don't want to be with you. Stop staring at the ones who are with white woman and get with the ones that arent. You're saying that you're not a "racist" for having a perference but you are pretty much implying that the men are. Kinda hypocritical don't you think?

You say you want there to be love and stronger families. Like I said before, how is that possible? Ever heard the racist joke, that states that Father's Day is the most confusing day in the black community? Sure it's a racist sterotype but to every sterotype there is a grain of truth. every wonder why that is? Yes single families arent just exclusive to black families but they seem to be known for it, even Africans look down on black americans for it. Go around with these losers, have their kids, the guy never mentions anything about marriage, they spend 20 years being gfs and the women are fine. They accept such dumb situations and they wonder why they are later taken for granted. When you believe you deserve better then you get it.

I saw the cover of Essence a few months back. Kim Porter and P. Diddy. That dumb ass woman has been with him for how long? 10 years or more? Recently had another pair of kids and he STILL doesnt want to marry her ass. STILL dates other women. How can any female be proud of that? God Forbid we see the black community condemning such things, instead you have people praising it. Instead of talking about that and how black females should better themselves and not lower themselves to such pitiful situations, you are instead whining about the men running after whomever. Like I said, they only do it because they can and because they know when they come back, you will accept them.

You have every right to disagree, no need to tell me that. Just like I have every right to say my mind so no I'm not going else where with my words. pele  cheesy

Hello GNature tongue

I dont even know why Ameromoge cares. Most Nigerians marry fellow Nigerians to perserve this same culture she believes is dying. If they wanna fool around with others before then, let them be jare.
