    Things must be bad when you include ex-players and coaches

  • MM82

    I have to agree with Reece. Most black men are married to black women including actors and ball players. The media often doesnt show this. Now everyone believes that black men are not marrying black women. So untrue.

  • Exoticlelani

    Oh i’m sorry,but there was only like 2 ALL black chicks in these photos….i’m confused!!!!!

    • dee

      all of yhem were black hun. Black people are not all dark brown. I’ve seen pure Africans with skin as light as some of these women.

  • Kenny

      My friend just met a chocolate man on Blackwhitemeet.COMit’s where for men and women looking for interracial’ship for a fabulous lifestyle
      It’s a nice place for black white sing’les, to interact with each other…no bounds or extremes in front of true love.

      • doo-doo brown clown

         More like a poopy man

  • Guest

    So Much for MN’s constant gripe that Black Men are only interested in White Women… These pics are the true representation of Black marriages in general (BM with BW).  Date/Marry who you want – just don’t try to bash all Black Men in the process. 

  • Precious

    You’ll never see this in mainstream! Whites aren’t
    interested in seeing real and lady like black women on TV and they aren’t
    interested in portraying that blacks still love each other! They want us to think
    that all black men have abandoned us so the hate will grow. We’re not buying.
    Beautiful is what this is :)))

      Precious, you said it! It’s a diabolical plot. Asi f Black men don’t have enough issues with fatherlessness, create a society that implies that having a white wife is superior or encourage them to live out a transgendered life at age 7, using the girls bathrom & give them hormones to further emasculate them….

    “Though there aren’t many black players in baseball nowadays, there are still many who still play the game.” – MN

    Not sure what that sentence means…but I am sure that it perpetuates the MYTH that baseball is a “white sport”. THIS IS NOT TRUE. There are MANY black baseball players.Many of those black players just happen to be Hispanic. Oh…I might add that that Baseball Wives show is an across-the-board FAIL. Baseball players (generally) have the hottest WAG’s of any major sport.You would’nt know that watching the show.
