First Tiger... now Reggie. What's up with all the brothas hooking it with girls who don't fit the "sista" description?

Jungle fever, baby. It does seem like though that every star black person you see in the news is with a non black woman.

I don't date. And if I did, I'd get at LEAST a 4.

I love how people still have a problem with "interracial" (wrong term) dating. Who gives a shit? Is there some written law? They're two humans.

Although, the Kardashian-Christiano relationship is just simply poetic. Those two douche bags deserve each other. AND WHY WOULD ANY DUDE DATE A CHICK THAT MADE A SEX TAPE WITH RAY J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty sure you need to have some good record sales before they become non existent. It's not exactly like she's ever been a popular country music artist.

True story. I've never even heard of her until this thread.

Sweet Sassy Molassey!

Yeah, she hasn't blow up as an artist. If anything, this publicity will probably only help her sales.

Most of the south is perfectly fine with stuff like this, but there are of course fringe lunatics that still wish they were in the confederacy. But if I am being honest there are a ton of those in Ohio as well, so it is really a non issue.

That was my experience, too. I saw more confederate flags in southern Ohio than I did in Texas.

I think people on this forum make a lot of general assumptions about people in the south as it pertains to race and race relations. Having lived in the south for a number of years, I can tell you there is a lot of interracial relationships, particularly in the bigger cities like New Orleans (probably the most interracial city in America) and Atlanta and in places like the Carolinas, Virginia and Texas. The fact of the matter is there are a larger number of blacks and hispanics in the South and as a result you see a lot more interracial couples.

For whatever reason people on this board seem to confuse the South of today with 1960's rural Mississippi. I guess they've watched too many movies based on John Grisham novels.

Agreed. My experience, having lived in both the north and the south, was that people in the north are far more likely to be anti-southern than southerners are to be anti-northern. I hear a lot more anti-south bigotry up here than I heard the reverse in Houston. And I also saw many more interracial relationships in the south, for the reasons you mentioned. No doubt there are still pockets of racism in the deep South, but I think many people in the north are out of touch with how it actually is.

I was born and raised in Georgia and just moved to Ohio a few years back. I can tell you me and my fiance (white) get more sneers here in Ohio than we have gotten we we go to Georgia. It's like they are trying to be rednecks up here. Now that is not to say there aren't any simple minded people in the south just not as many as people up north try to make it out to be.

this.

i notice a lot of racism in LA, but in OH it's just as rampant (in SE Ohio, I'd say it's worse).

Which is exactly why I said it would probably help her sales and popularity, introducing her to new target markets.
