: It seems like philanthropist Russell Simmons is a little upset at the way that MediaTakeOut.com's been covering his love life. In a message he sent out, he scolded us about talking slick about his new chick Veronica Verikova. The message is LONG AS HECK ... so we put some of the highlights below:
I am of the view as a philanthropist and businessman that all press is good if it can help me as a brand or bring in more money to my five charities-especially in this time of economic crisis when every charity is struggling to keep afloat. However, I do find this blatent racism offensive. Just last week I was out with my friend Veronica Verikova and the next day had to read about "uncle Russell's brand new blonde bust down". She doesn't deserve that, nobody does! And yes, it is offensive.Rusyy, Russy, Russy .... we just telling a few jokey jokes here. Shoot, no reason to get all serious on us .... If it will make you feel better - we'll apologize to your new jump off in person ....Some people believe that if you date a person from another race you are somehow denying who you are. They believe that dating someone with a different skin color somehow makes you a self-hater, loathing that which makes you yourself. They believe that it's an insult to your parents, ancestors, heritage and community.
I find this view much more telling about the people who say this than about those who do find a physical, spiritual, mental and emotional connection with someone who looks different than themselves.
Choosing someone who I am physically attracted to and who also inspires, uplifts, educates and keeps me interested is my first priority- not their race. And if these bloggers recall I did marry a woman who was half African American. Furthermore, I have had many high profile relationships with African American women, such as the only serious relationship that I have had since my divorce (who some may already know) with my dear friend yoga teacher/model/philantropist Porschla Coleman.
Now we cool again!!!! EDITOR'S UPDATE - That was quick - Here's Russell's response to this article -
First of all don’t’ get it twisted, we love our mediatakeout. We’re not so upset about that you’re referring to [Veronica] as a Blond Bustdown. It's the response by some of our readers about interracial dating that kind of sadden me. Let’s hope this discussion promotes more tolerance.Oh ... well now that makes sense. Russ we apologize in advance for our readers - they don't know how to act!!!

Stop lyin, you know *** well that black men by in large dont give a rats *** who you date. While you see water buffaloes like yourself every day throwing your arms up because youre mad that black men dont feel obligated to date your classless bigot ***.
HERE YOU GO "I MARRIED A WOMAN WHO WAS HALF BLACK," IF KIMORA LEE SIMMONS WOULD HAVE NOT STATED THAT WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN. I MEAN COME ON SHE HAS LONG STRAIGHT HAIR AND LIGHT SKIN YOU REALLY MARRIED A SISTA. YOU PROBABLY DID NOT EVEN KNOW UNTIL SHE TOLD YOU SO YOU DIDNT THINK YOU WERE GETTING A HALF BLACK WOMAN. THAT'S LIKE WHEN PEOPLE SAY I LIKE WOMEN OF ALL RACES THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE BLACK AND THEN ALL THE OTHER RACES ARE MOSTLY MIXED OR LIKE SKINNED WITH LONG HAIR OR AND I QUOTE WHAT IGNORANT PEOPLE WOULD SAY "GOOD HAIR". SO MARRYING KIMORA LEE SIMMONS IS NOT A NOTCH ON YOUR BELT ON DATING A SISTA. TRY A REAL SISTA LIKE MICHELLE OBAMA, OPRAH, GABRIELLE UNION, NIA LONG, AND STO DATING PEOPLE TO VALIDATE YOUR SUCESS.
"And if these bloggers recall I did marry a woman who was half African American."
"HALF" -- being the operative word! Him and Diddy don't want nuthin' with nappy hair! ROTFL
But I'm not mad -- I'm down with "the swirl" too! WHATEVER WORKS! ***, Russ should just be happy that ANYBODY wants to pork his old, baggy azz and isn't just there for the doe!
WELL, WELL, WELL..... GOOD FOR U MTO, I'M GLAD HE CALL YA OUT AND EVERY OTHER PREJUDICE BLOGGER ON MTO, WIT THERE STUPID EXCUSES TOWARDS WHY A BLACK MAN *** BE WITH A WOMAN OF OTHER RACE CAUSE ITS DISRESPECTING THE BLACK COMMUNITY. I REMEMBER SOMEONE TELLING ME ON THIS SITE THAT RUSSEL IS EFFECTING THE YOUNG BLACK MEN IN A BAD WAY BECAUSE RUSSELL WANNA DATE A WHITE WOMAN AND YADA YADA YADA PLEASE...THATS A BUNCH OF ***.... LOVE HAS NO COLOR...PERIOD
@ WarwickDavis: I HEAR U TOO, BUT DO WE REALLY NEED TO STOOP DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AS WELL. I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SAY WE NEED TO BE BETTER THAN THAT!
STOP THE HATE....THE WORLD IS CHANGING IN MANY WAYS.
Please. He is a liar and a ***!tter. First off that Porshla *** was no darker than a paper bag from a grocery store. Kimora the same. Still light. The point is he never seems to be with anyone his color or darker. He's a little *** crackhead anyway. I am in no way racist and always fighters fellow readers of MTO are their hate towards interracial relationships but now I'm starting to see what they are talking about. Black men always go out with this light skinned black women or white women who they know they wouldn't have a *** in hell with if they were broke. F^ck Russell Simmons. *** ass what does dating a white girl have to do with your charity work? F^ck out of here. Go fix that lisp with all that money you have.
in some ways he is right mto, yall sometimes can get a little overboard talking about his many FRIENDS. But russy you should think about dating some dark skinned chicks not just to pleased us but to diversify your selection. and plus we would get mad if a famous white male was to date a sista and those aother sites would degrade her.
People should be able to date and love whomever the hell they want to. Sometimes I swear black folks can be so *** racist. I am fine and guess what my man is not black. But we're the best of friends, he is my everything. I don't hate myself and I love my peoples but we have the most in common. And, he's been the best lover in my life! The only time that we think about our differences is when others make a big deal out of it. So, Russ do you and don't worry people who are judgmental!
Ok first off, if he is referring to this woman Veronica Vericova as a FRIEND and he's HAVING *** with her behind closed doors then she deserves the title of a "BUST DOWN". ANY man who is screwing you but can't claim you as his GIRLFRIEND then sorry it's either they are FRIENDS with BENEFITS or she's a BUST IT girl.
Now MTO can be more choosy with their words but this site is sensational journalism at its best and MTO will use words that produce shock-value and humour for the interest of entertaining its viewers. This is merely an entertainment site so Russell even COMMENTING about it PROVES he must be desperate for ANY amount of publicity in order to advertise his name or brand. His rantings about some silly tabloid fodder from a jive entertainment site proves that us common folk along with filty rich millionaires are indeed dealing with some hard financial times due to this recession.
When the hell did lightskin women not considered black anymore. Its not lightskin people fault if the slave master raped their grandmammies.
Obama is half black but the african american folks here keeps saying "We have the first black president" ohhh its ok to say he's black but if a chick is mixed and light skin then she aint black no more. Just tears my heart...
So if race doesn’t matter then why do you ONLY date white women? Stop it Russy race does matter you prefer white women over black women bottom line. Kimora was the blackest thing you have been with since Veronica Webb. He really disgusts me. Ladies, stop worrying about these black men as you can see time and time again they don’t give a fu.. About us it is estimated that 50% of black women will not marry. The black man as well as the black race is going to be non-existent because of black men either they are killing each other or their dating white women. I HATE him now. Russ since you read this *** go eat a d*ck.
It is straight up ignorant the way some black people put down white people. If white people said the nasty *** about blacks that some of you say about whites, it would be called racism but it's somehow okay for black people to be *** ignorant and racist? What the *** is wrong with people now a days? Would you like it if people said that a white man who dates a black woman has problems? It's the same ***.
And to people who call him self hating for going out with a white woman... I guess a white man is self hating if he goes out with a black then, right? Or what justifies this reasoning if you don't feel that way about white men or women going out with blacks? *** racist idiots...
"Choosing someone who I am physically attracted to and who also inspires, uplifts, educates and keeps me interested is my first priority- not their race."
--------------------------------------------------
It's funny Russy says this, but yet the bulk of the women he's dated who uplifted, educated and kept him interested are light or white.
I'm not trying to add fuel to the fire, but I'm just sayin'......
ebonycity.heavenforum.com
Why do celebs with so much success care what bloggers and a few people posting (mostly during down time at work) think? As long as it's not slander or libale WGAS? Trust and believe, if I had his success do you think I'd care or be reading about myself on *** MTO? GTFO! Beyonce, Kanye, Usher... Reread this!
everytime hes out with a woman especially if shes not black mto do say his blonde chick or whatever um so he can date who he wanna reguardless of their race if thats who makes him happy so be it its funny how everytime a black man is out with a woman of another race the head line reads so and so and his blonde chick or latina chick like thats suppose to matter who cares
I don't care who he dates, but he needs to cut the ***...Kimora was practically a BABY when he went after her...So that mumbo jumbo he's talking about someone uplifting him, educating him, inspiring him and having a mutual interest yada yada is a bunch of hogwash.
See I would've had the same respect for him had he not opened his mouth and addressed this BS...Sometimes silence can be golden...Now I actually look at him differently, because it's obvious he's a flat out liar.
I never had an issue with who he dated...But now it seems like what others said about him is TRUE...But that's his life, and it doesn't affect mine one way or the other...I just can't listen to him lying.
HERE WE GO....WHITE WOMAN, BLACK MAN, LIGHT SKINNED BLACKS VS. DARK SKINNED BLACKS...
CONGRATULATIONS MTO YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!
ARE Y'ALL PROUD OF YOURSELVES MTO?.....I KNOW Y'ALL SITTIN BACK WITH A BIG AZZ BOWL OF POPCORN CRACKIN UP......HONESTLY, IF I WAS WORKIN FOR MTO, I WOULD TO....

^^^^^^^^^ GOOD POINT
RUSSEL RUSSEL....IF ITS REALLY LIKE THAT, WHY WOULD YOU FEEL OBLIGED TO EXPLAIN YOUR SELF TO THE LIKES OF MTO?....MMMMMH I WILLING TO BET HE CAN'T GO TOE TO TOE WITH A WOMAN HIS OWN AGE...LOL
WTF?? "the only serious relationship that I have had since my divorce... Porschla Coleman."
Mentioning your ex when UR with your next is not a good look. That's usually an argument waiting to happen.
Anyone else notice her pose? It looks like he just gave a dude $5 for a polaroid souvenir photo next to a cardboard cutout. He's just regular and she's 'modeling'.
RUSSEL IM PROBABLY THE MOST MILLANT BLOGGER ON MEDIA TAKEOUT. BUT I WAS COOL WITH EVERYTHING YOU WERE SAYING UNTIL YOU GOT TO THE FACT THAT KIMORA IS HALF AFRICAN AMERICAN. OK WE ALL KNEW THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PUT THAT INFO OUT THERE. FURTHERMORE I PERSONALLY DONT CARE WHO YOU DATE BECAUSE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE MONEY AND LIVED IN THE GHETTO ALL THE WOMEN YOU DATED WOULD OF BEEN STRAIGHT BLACK AND YOU KNOW THIS. MONEY SEEMS LIKE IT ALWAYS CHANGES THE BLACK MAN. YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO LOOK FOR SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTMENT WHEN YOU HAVE MONEY WHAT ABOUT IF YOU DIDN'T WOULD YOU WANT TO FIND IT THEN. SPIRTUAL ENLIGHTMENT HAPPENS EVERYDAY.... AND I LOVE ALL RACES AND HAVE DATED ALL RACES OF MEN SO I DEF DONT DISCRIMANATE AND NO MATTER BUT IM TIRED OF YOU CELEBRATIES HAVE TO BREAK BEING BLACK INTO HALF , 3/4 OR ANY OTHER MATH EQUATION ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH. YOU EITHER YOU ARE OR YOU ARENT. SO MY ISSUE WITH YOU RUSSEL I DONT CARE WHAT YOU DO OR WHO YOU DATE. IF YOU WANT TO DATE THE POPE THATS FINE WITH ME BUT PLEASE STOP MAKING BEING BLACK LIKE YOU HAVE TO MEASURE IT IN A MEASURING CUP IN A LAB SOMEWHERE IN SWEDEN.......
THATS ALL IM SAYING MY BROTHER DO YOU THATS ALL THAT MATTERS.....
"DENIAL is not a river in Egypt." It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that Russell dates outside his race but everything to do with the fact that he does NOT date inside his race... UNLESSSSSSSS THE PERSON LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE OF A DIFFERENT RACIAL BACKGROUND. Kimora, black? Porshla, black? One doesn't look like she has an ounce of Black in her and the other looks like she has one drop of Black blood.
Black people who only date the closest thing to non-Black are just as bad as those who only date non-Black.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with interracial dating when it is color-blind and not a result of self-loathing. People who truly do not care about race would date those of any race or ethnic group, no matter the skin color or features.

Exactly....When people act like light skinned people aren't "black enough" they are still dividing black people, and they are still running a "brown bag test"...
Its self-hating to prefer one segment of black people over the other...whether that preference goes light or dark...because black is black...period.
Anyhow, interracial dating is the single most overblown issue in the black community and I don't feel like wasting any more breath on it...Russ made some good points in his statement.
@CatatonicSunset- NO it's NOT the same thing. A WHITE MAN dates or marries a BLACK WOMAN 9/10 because HE and SHE both actually REALLY LOVE and CHERISH each other. It's VERY VERY rare for a white man to divorce his equally educated and beautiful white wife for a ghetto waitress working 9-5 at the local Eat a Burger. He might be screwing the waitress but he won't UP and DESERT his family and EVERYTHING he worked for to WIFE her.
You don't FULLY understand (I'm guessing you are white) the full ramifications of our community. You being a white person who might socialize with just a few blacks from work will NEVER FULLY understand the numerous on going problems in our community. I'm not faulting you because I don't expect you to fully get it but there are NUMEROUS REASONS behind BLACK WOMEN saying Russell is a self-loathing black man. Our problems are PROFOUNDLY COMPLEX and RUN DEEP. I don't think anyone who is a non black (including natives of Africa even) could fully understand the plagues of the African American people in this society.
I DONT SEE WHY HE EVEN BOTHERED TO RESPOND TO WHAT "BLOGGERS" HAD TO SAY ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIPS UNLESS HE FEELING KINDA GUILTY..LOL IF I WAS A CELEBRITY I WOULDN'T EVEN GO ON THESE BLOG SITES. CAUSE MOST LIKELY SOME ONE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT YOUR *** ONE WAY OR THE OTHER..AND YOU CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT ALL YOU WANT TO THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE PEOPLES PERCEPTION OF YOU..SO RUSSY RUSS GET OVER YOUR SELF!! WHO *** CARES!!!!
What the HELL is everyones problem?? does anyone really give a *** about russells girl? or girls for that matter?! does anyone care about who im dating, or you're dating? not so much... everyone losin their *** minds over black men dating light skinned african american, or white women, go find a hobby. if a man is attracted to someone why the hell does it have anything to do with race..? i prefer brunette men and women (on no she didnt just admit shes bi) but thank god no one can pin me for being racist...i mean, sweet lord....ur telling me, if a black guy prefers the look of light skin, no matter the race at hand, ur honestly gonna call him on it? who gives a ***....and the "dark" skinned girls that want to get mad bc black men r dating white women...oh effing please..do i get *** when one of u date a white man?! *** no! who cares?! unless he was my man to begin w, u get on it...and unless im dating "your" black man (which i know, all black women think they own all black men--yada yada-gee i wonder why u lose black men all the time) no need to get ***...u, also, need a hobby...maybe besides cruisin gossip sites lookin for a way to speak ur words.... and whoever said "water buffalo" effing hilarious.... im out....maybe to go flirt w a fine black man! *yum*
@ GuessJeans...IMO unless we know a person directly then we don't know why they date whom they date....Anything along those lines most of the time is nothing but speculation...I look at ALL IRR the same (not isolating black men or women or anyone)...People chose to be with someone they were feeling, and that's it...In 2008 its just plain *** to get upset over who someone else chooses to be with...Folks need to worry about important *** and stay out of others bedrooms.
critique101 These ppl at MTO are so wishy washy. One minute they will talk sideways about someone, then if they are reprimanded by that person, the next minute they are practically kissing their azzes. Choose your side MTO and say what you mean and mean what you say!

Russell has that ugly, insecure, controlling black man complex.
Ask Jay-Z, he can relate.
They are so insecure they will only go after women that are societies standard of beauty to make up for their ***.
Why do you think these men like em young? Easier to control or try to control.
Please, these men are emotionally and mentally weak and we don't need em anyway.
Goodbye and so long.
@RENT214- Please re-read my comment. Trust me I'm in an inter-racial marriage so I'm not knocking anybody. All I said was if women feel russell hates himself, then so be it. Russell going to do him regardless. I'm not checking for him so that's all that matters. He is free to do as he choose. Finally I am the last person to ever feel insecure. My husband tells me I'm gorgeous everyday so I care less abour Russie, Reggie bush, oj and those other brothers who chose to date white women. So be it is all I say
I think it's hilarous the way Russell feels the need to respond to MTO. In my humble opinion it shows deep down in his soul, he is not completely comfortable being with white woman.
Black men need to stop making excuses for being with white women and admit they are truly unhappy with themselves. They secretly wish they were of another race. Most black men also know that the majority of disrectful things they do to white women, black women will never TOLORATE.
Most black men have nothing to offer black women and the majority of them feel their pen!s will suffice! SAD.
Russel knows in his heart of hearts, if he was not financially stable most of those white women would not be with him. THIS INCLUDES HIS EX-WIFE KIMORA.
He claims he seeks spirtuality, but on Runs House, every other word that comes out of his mouth is profanity. Russel is that the only way you can express yourself?
It is also a fact that most black men who say, DO YOU are dating white women. Most black women who I speak with say THEY ARE TREATED MUCH BETTER WHEN THEY DATE WHITE MEN!
Black men have a long history of NOT KNOWING WHO THEY ARE AND THEIR WORTH, so how can one except them to bring anything to the table when dating/marrying his own.
It truly makes me wonder how black men REALLY feel about their black mother, sister, aunts, and female cousins.
I'm always entertained by this argument that if some celebrity didn't have money, this or that woman wouldn't be with him as if this ***'s a one way street. If these chicks didn't have the bodies they did or the faces they did, they wouldn't get to be with the celebrity either. As matter of fact as soon as that body is gone, they're getting kicked to the curb.
It's not like dudes are with these girls for their intelligence or force of personality. They are with them for their suction skills and ability to imitate a pretzel after a few drinks.
This whole thing is a tradeoff and I bet their paper is gonna longer than those girls' looks.
Russy, MTO called it as they saw it. She's a BUST DOWN BLOND and more than likely a DUMB one. Now to all you self loathing black men, if you think the white man is your friend,,,just ask O J Simpson. He too thought the sisters weren't good enough for him. He got off once and still stuck to them whiteys, don't expect the black community to embrace your *** when all you've done is give us the cold shoulder over the years. There I said it. Call me a racist and see if I care. A sister will cherish a rich black man cause they're rare. You don't even need a maid, we'll probably do all the *** chores just to save your azz some money but still we get no love once these black suckers make it big. On another note, if you're wondering why light skin is not considered black, it's because most light skin people forget that they are actually black...check. You don't have to like what I have to say, that's the way of the world.
Russell Simmoms PLEASE! Marrying a woman "half african american" don't mean a thing. I would love to see him walk in a room with a dark skinned black woman resembling the skin tone of Iman. He'd probably scrub himself clean after it. Did the blonde comment hurt his girlfriends feelings? Is she not blonde? I agree with him on how it could be looked at as offensive, and his opinion on interracial relationships. I think more people should begin to date those they find a connection with outside of color/ethnicity, maybe then people will be happier. I know people who date through connection and not color of all ethnicities, HOWEVER, I don't believe Russell Simmons to be one of those individuals. I find him to be grossly superficial and greedy. Using the black community to build his wealth while shunning darker skinned black women in EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS ENDEAVOR he has EVER created. From his girl groups to the women he chooses in modeling campaigns. He wants to yell about RACISM, let's yell about something even WORSE and hypocritical..COLORISM! He's another cynical greedy shark using this "we all be's black" attitude to induce the level of intolerance for African American beauty..from the way a black woman's body is shaped to her hair and skin tone. Russell's campaigns and projects practically VOMIT at the thought of putting a beautiful dark skinned black woman anywhere in his creations. People like him disgust me, I'd rather deal with a racist white person, than deal with a delusional, self hating (hell yeah i said it!) "black" man. What is HIS definition of black is what I am wondering. Men like him are the reason women with darker hues are practically non existent in the media and often shunned by the public. It amazes me how black folks can claim racism but employ that same negativity within their own "communities" and THAT is why we never receive any respect. Other races aren't BLIND to the fact that people in our community (mostly black men) do this. Doing charity work is another TREND for rich celebrities and socialites. F*ck Russell Simmons silly ***.
LMAO @ The Editor's Update...Russell I agree with the part of you being able to date whomever you want, but don't hang yourself about talking about these women educating and uplifting you...You're a self-made man and ain't NONE of these broads make you the person you are. You was already there before you met them. Stop the nonsense, kay? And stop being so pervertish on Run's House...
i wasn't going to sign in today- i tell myself that everyday!!!
anyway, i am soooo glad someone said it! now that i have gone through the whole "finding myself" part in life, i know that i want to be someone that teaches me EVEYTHING i cant see, helps me grow w/ them in spirit and it other ways.
it reminds me of that exercise that you do in gym, where you and someone else have your backs to one another and you have to use your legs to stand up! you have to depend on each other to make it happen- no matter who that person is! i am feeling you Russ!
two things though! plz smack the *** out of Jo Jo for being so *** spoiled and
lets stop acting like this woman does that for you! i know what you are ultimately saying, however you & I both know you are enjoying life and being free from an energy vampire!
To "Lexia" No, "broads" didn't make him the person he is. GREED did..and the problem with our American society and also BLACK COMMUNITY today is that we congratulate greed and award cut throat m*thaf*ckas with our respect. I don't repsect any person, regardless of the amount of money he/she has received for causing the destruction of the black communitie's blakc woman's image. He was an AIDE in doing that sh*t. And now since he wants to date out of his race, he wants to run to the defense of his girlfriend BECAUSE she was disrespected "by being called a blonde bustdown" he wants to PROTEST that with all his might. WHAT ABOUT when he has shunned darker skinned female models in his campaigns? what about when he has refused to place females of darker skin hues in any of his projects or even his executive seats? He is worst than a Klan member if you ask me because he is a sheep in wolve's clothing to the black community. He is disgusting. Kimora has prompted herself as the ultimate urban diva, when she has abount as much African blood in her that a teaspoon can hold. Yet he has built his wealth empire off placing her as the head of urban elite and placing himself as the "God" of the most knowing in the urban community. Running around arguing with people about race relations in the black community has nothing to do with you, me or any other black person. It has to do with his love for "hip hop" a "love" that made him rich and so far, blacks are the creators of that. I think this girl, he's dating is average. Her skin looks horrible and her face looks like a pelican. paint her skin black and he wouldn't touch her even with Rev. Run's ***. I would love for MTO to create a COLORISM list, that would quiet his silly *** down. Who needs the Klan when ya got old *** like this dude?
@GuessJeans...you know I was waiting for you! LOL! AS usual, you NEVER fail to disappoint!
LOLing at this old ***, Chicklette-toothed, thick tongued just before being Pete O'Phile wanna be anything but black unless it will make him some money Queen. If Russell don't STFU. The fact that he FELT THE NEED TO RESPOND (if it IS him)is enough to let me know MTO hit a nerve. If he's really not color struck WHY would he need to point out ghetto-*** Kim(Wh)ora is HALF BLACK and top it off with "the only SERIOUS relationship he's had was with Porschla Coleman...like that was going to give him a pass. Please- Russy that closet must be getting a little overcrowded- COME ON OUT. Y'all know this brother hasn't been inside a black woman since birth.
NoElleNo2- LOL. At least you and I see eye to eye on issues such as these. I co-sign with you. Why did he feel it necessary to mention Kimora as HALF-BLACK as if that validates him as some one who loves self (blackness). LMAO @ "he hasn't been inside a black woman since birth"! You know what that's probably true girl as sad as it seems.
I really hate when black men come in here and say things like "well yall sisters date others too, aint nothing wrong with Russie". WELL there is a difference between someone dating outside their race a couple of times vs someone who NEVER dated a woman/man within their race. It's safe to say Russie deals with self-esteem and self-loathing for his own skin color. I have never seen this brother date a sister that looked 100% black. Sure Kimora and Porschia got some black in them but they are not 100% black.
@AlyonaWeathers- Go'on girl! You've OFFICIALLY joined the ranks of wordsmiths Weezy and L'il Jon!
"They" are already tryin' to take our Crunk, Bling AND Badonk-a-dunk so see what they can do with "COLORISM". We got a boat load of 'colorists' in the upper echelon negro club and Uncle Russy is bout to be the spokes-boy.
Hell if you make the list MTO will swear they made it but you know the real deal.
Some people believe that money brings/buys happiness.
Russell proves that to be untrue. I really don't think he is truly happy.
For many years I always believe he was *** and simply hiding behind these women. I don't know him, so, I am only speaking on what comes across to me on the TV screen. Maybe he just has feminine ways.
I was told by someone that greed looks better on white women. These high profile, rich black men date white women because they somehow think these white women are not gold diggers; I suppose it's because they present their greediness in such subtle manner, that these men (majority of them athletes) and their lack of education and common sense they can't see it. I guess the sistas who are gold diggers are too upfront and honest about what they want, need to tone it down and be fake
reading some of these comments makes me question whether dark skin women ever asked themselves or some friends why my chocolate men are w/ me b/c i am black/ hispanic?
i hate when COLOR struck people- those w/ low SELF esteem feel like the only way to black is dark skin and nappy hair! there are diff. shades of black, people! who cares what someone else’s preferences are?
I prefer my man to be dark! that is what I prefer!
Other things I prefer: wings over legs The number 5 over any other Coke over pepsi silver over gold Men over women! Strong over weak spirituality over organized religion curly over straight Ms. Jessie’s over Activator Addidas over Nike Puma over Nike Hip Hop over rap old School R&B over new R&B clean over dirty gmail over yahoo!
On and on….. judge on!

*** MrErudite Flag post Beautiful-One
I can't explain their antipathy as I don't know them. But I'm pretty sure that if they know you, they have sufficient reason to stay away.
I agree with Russell - we need to get over the color line thing. He can date anybody he wants and so can YOU. If we can't get past the color of ones skin - how can we expect others to get past the color or our skin. It's BS - date who you want as long as they make YOU happy. We all bleed RED BLOOD in the end. If you blood is not red, then I might be worried about you as a person.
@MrErudite: WASN'T IT?!?! ROTFLMAO!!! I love that little dude. He's HILARIOUS!
I saw it again this weekend and it SO REMINDED me of how people get in this blog. They get all biligerent and crazy toward people they can't see and don't even know!
USUALLY because you outwit them and they can't handle it. So they go into Internet gangster-mode.
I asked a question. I wasn't trying to debate anybody, I get enough of that at school. You responded to me with a variant of my question; and then you followed it with the comment that "whatever I said would be a mischaracterization." I answered your question more than once, and you, nor anyone else, has yet to answer mine.
@MrErudite: I ain't mad at no one. Love is blind -- cliche but true!
And I REALLY DON'T BLAME wealthy black men for swtiching teams. TOO MANY "bag ladies" in black culture. TOO MANY ISSUES. Usually TOO MANY kids. TOO MUCH anger. TOO Bossy. TOO MUCH DRAMA.
I'm generalizing, but it's a great majority of "us". Sad to say.
Apathy - smapathy!
Race has been used by the wealthy and those of royal blood to keep those they felt beneath them out of their socioeconomic class. Saying that a person who has one drop of Black blood is Black - even if they look White or Asian - is saying in so many words "Black blood is dirty, and anyone with that *** running through their veins cannot be one of us."
Blacks are so dumb for taking on this racist ideal themselves. Then we take other races "discards" and elevate them above our own. Makes no sense.
Tiger Woods, Halle Berry, and Barack Obama are not the first Black anything... they're the racially mixed person with Black blood to do what they've done. They're just as much White or whatever else, as they are Black.
BLONDE BUST IT DOWN! BLONDE BUST IT DOWN! LOL!
*** Russy! If this true, then you really are pathetic! Why do you give a *** about what a bunch anonymous faces on the web have to say about you? Going by the comments; MTO getting all the hits they crave. Black folks always fall for the okey-doke!...Moving along...
@ MrErudite,
Yes you are right, about the fact there are a majority of black men who are dating or married to black women but what you failed to mention is that they are are educated, middle class and upper middle class; they're the lawyers, doctors, professors, politicians, journalists and other professionals. I did say "lack of education" because majority of the high profile black men, the athletes, the musicians who can only sing but can't play instruments or read music, some actors, referencing them because they may not know any better, as majority of them may not have finished high school
Russell you worked real hard for what you have accomplished, and if you choose to date someone that's not the same race as yourself than that's fine, if it's true love age should not matter at all as long as the woman is of legal age, and one other thing, if a person choose to date outside of their own race, i would not consider them a sellout, as long as it is true love, and remember Russell, all women are beautiful no matter what their race is.
I'm cool with whatever jumpoff he wants to get with. I just want him to talk about safe ***, since a lot of the young men on here look at him as the man for pulling all kinds of women. She could be a latin jumpoff, blonde bustdown or a black bust-it-baby, lol- she throw out a brand of condoms that you endorse. Hell endorse safe *** as being important to financial freedom since you do a lot of engagements on finances. (Possible angles: high unemployment rates affecting ability to keep up with child support, how much harder it is to save for a how with child support payments, how getting a criminal record over child support affects ability to get a job, etc.) Spin the press in your favor and quit worrying about our views on the race of women you ***.
She IS a blonde, bust-down!!! I bet if his *** was the average bus driver or construction worker, she'd diss his ***! Further more, he can't get mad at people's reaction when all we seen him with are women that don't look black. Even Porscha. She has a hint of blackness to her. Although we KNOW she's black, she's still considered yellow.
Don't get all sensitive on me now Russ. If you need a hug just let me know and we can arrange it but I gotta call a spade, A SPADE. Any white woman that ***'s with your ignorant azzz is out for the cash BUT I guess you only live once and you can't take a damnn thing with you, Go ahead and splurge on some white azzz. As much as I love my sista's, I probably would too.
AS I DO RESPECT RUSS'S CHARITY WORK OF WHICH HE IS VERY MUCH INVOLVED IN, I DO ALSO RECOGNIZE HE DOESN'T CARE FOR FULLY BLACK FEMALES. THATS FINE AS I'M NOT FULLY BLACK MYSELF. BUT I DON'T CARE FOR HIS WOMANIZING AND MISTREATMENT OF WOMEN. HE TREATED HIS WIFE AND MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN LIKE A 2ND CLASS CITIZEN. BLATANT CHEATING. THAT IS DISGUSTING TO ANYONE! AND IS NOT A GOOD LOOK.
ALSO HOW HE GRABS ON TO THE YOUNGEST THING AROUND. KIMORA WAS NOT YET LEGAL WHEN RUSS STARTED AT HER.
AS FOR THE DISRESPECTFUL NAMES BEING CALLED AT HIS AND OTHER FEMALES HE IS RIGHT. MTO YOU ARE TOTALLY OUT OF PLACE AND GHETTO. BECAUSE OF SO MTO, I'M TO ASHAMED TO EVEN ADMIT TO OTHERS THAT I READ THIS WEB SITE. MTO YOU NEED TO STR8TEN UP.
***************************************************************
@WarwickDavis
IT'S BLACK MEN LIKE YOU WHO MAKE THE ENTIRE RACE FEEL THEY MIGHT AS WELL GIVE UP.
IT'S BLACK MEN LIKE YOU THAT NEITHER BLACK OR WHITE OR ASIAN OR LATINA OR ANY OTHER RACED FEMALE WANTS TO DATE. BECAUSE IGNORANCE IS AN UNDESIRABLE CHARACTERISTIC NO MATTER THE RACE CREED OR COLOR.
Russ, fuuck whoever you want..My problem is when a successful, wealthy brother puts his hard earned money $$$ right back in the white man's hands. 80 % of Russel's income has derived from urban based bussinesses, yet the first thing he does is go get a blond bust down to spend it on...THEY don't need anymore help!
Russ is your money but who's face is printed on it???
THEIRS!!!!
As a black woman I am so sick of hearing people refer to black people as racist. Prejudice yes but black people have never been in the position to have an impact on the lives of white people. Never!Thats the definition of racism look it up. As far as Russ goes, he himself has been brainwashed into thinking that a woman from any other race validates him as a man mogul philanthropist or businessman. The women he chooses does speak volumes!!! And as a black woman, I dont want him anyway. No Im not mad just disgusted because not only has he given black women the time of day, he hasnt given one the chance to show how loving strong caring spiritual and above all else the beauty that comes with the bond of a woman with color. Black men are so quick to abandone the black woman for what ever reason most of all because she is too strong for him. Slave mentality has made him think that the woman must be inferior hence the white woman on his arm(or asian hybrid or whatever)that will submit where as the black womens slave mentality has made her have to be strong fearless and something he cannot control but must see as his counter part.its russes loss my beautiful women of color because not only is he refusing to accept who he is and where he comes from he is nothing more than a "house ***" who sees us as only good enough to take our money for his benefit but not represent who he is as a black man for ours!! So sad isnt it?
yeah he gives back to the "black community" but only as a way to make it ok. thats like saying ok black people Im going to sell you expensive clothing that you go broke for buying even though I know you are poor or cant really afford it, because you are my people and I know exactly how it is growing up hand to mouth so I am going to donate some money to charities that will help out a little. meanwhile Im going to marry this woman who cant possibly know my struggle and parade her around so that the kids in these communities will learn to hate the black woman especially dark black women and gravitate toward someone like the one on Russes arm.o wait it is like that.
I think Russell is just sensitive...He wrote a letter to the media several years back defending Kimora. I guess that's just who he is...But this dude talk hella *** at work and on Run's House...He better sit down somewhere catching feelings over what someone says about his date...He has said far worse to and about others...
Like I said, while I agree with him on MTO and how they put things and their race baiting, he can go ahead with the rest of that stuff.
Black people can most definately be racist, the defenition of racism is as follows courtesy of webster.com:
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
I would call the comments here discriminatory and made largely out of insecurity, fear and ignorance. May God help you to change your racist world views, amen.
Russell is a sell out..why else would he be upset about a joke. Why would he get defensive and remind us all of his past relationships with black woman. Okay how can a black guy from queens have anything remotely in common emotionaly? physical( flat *** are russy's thing), spiritual(she's from the CZECH), mental and emotionaL ( SHE HAS A PSYCH DEGREE!!)with a white girl from europa. Oh that's right his money? If he was still in queens guest what,, her *** would be in europa. His white girl is busted down. She hasn't had a descent contract in a long time ( she old) He sounds just like the red neck who said "I like black people, hell I got a colored T.V" Come on now every sister who watch the Simmons boys since the 80's knows they like their woman light skined or brighter. To try to say the article could effect 5 charities is so lame. The white girl isn't that famous maybe now since she's sleeping with Russell she can get a REAL modeling contract. Instead of the catalog "Newport News". I speak the truth
WarwickDavis said:
"Could you imagine the uproar if a white media outlet refered to a white celebrity's black girlfriend as a nappy headed Aunt Jamima solely because she was black?"
Been there, done that. There wasn't an uproar. Never has and never will be where black women are concerned. Your wishwashy azz is WAAAAY out of bounds. MTO called her, "uncle Russell's brand new blonde bust down." TELL ME.. when has it ever been racist to notice some white woman has blonde hair???? Riiiight. Go sit your funky azz down somewherez and STAY the *** *** up.
Wow from Kimora to that yeah MTO was right Blonde bust it down. People have the right to think she is a downgrade from Kimora. Nobody told him to get a top notch Supermodel trophy wife and then downgrade to a bust it down. He is the 1 who set the standards so high then he is going to get mad. LOL MTO gives whack people of all races hell especially black women & many people gave Seal props with Heidi so whatever....People were taking the same *** at Kimmora never heard him put out a public statement for her and compared to the women of color hes dated she is a downgrade. Sorry the days of black people thinking any non black that a rich black dude walks around with is better and a upgrade is long gone so 1990's.
MTO it needed to be said. I am happy that he does a lot for the community and all but you know what, it still ain't fair. So Russ its alright for you to feel sorry for the sistas but we'll never be alright to date or marry? At the end of the day Kimmora was there to advance her career and be taken care of for the rest of her life and so is this BUST IT DOWN too, and Kimmora bout as black as this chick here. All I sayin' is if you handing out opportunities to chicks like that, why not give all the races a try...especially the sistas!!!
To "EXCUSE ME" POST IS BELOW!
"DENIAL is not a river in Egypt." It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that Russell dates outside his race but everything to do with the fact that he does NOT date inside his race... UNLESSSSSSSS THE PERSON LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE OF A DIFFERENT RACIAL BACKGROUND. Kimora, black? Porshla, black? One doesn't look like she has an ounce of Black in her and the other looks like she has one drop of Black blood.
---------------------------------
and I agree with 100 percent which is what made me ask the question in my previous post..."What exactly does HE consider BLACK?" If Kimora and Porche are black, then I would love to know what he feels Kelly Rowland is. Cause as much as we love to CLAIM biracial people who are half African descent, the truth is they AREN'T the same kind of black that someone like Kelly Rowland is..or at least VISUALLY they aren't perceived to be. I'd love to know why he's so Pro Black when it comes to him defending BLACK MEN against the "white man" but he doesn't care for black women that can't be mistaken for a different race? Yea Russell, we're all zombie followers and blind to your hypocrisy. Guess he's been hanging around Farrahkhan too long. Ya;ll know, he practices colorism like a BEEEEEEEOOOTCH! lol
He's done a "whole lot" for the HIP HOP community? That's GOOD cause look at the "state" of the HIP HOP community and who gives a ***. I'd love to see him promote artists who don't paint a violent hood slave picture for kids to see. Or place beautiful models of all colors shades of brown in his campaigns to show equality of beauty for little black girls to see. Until then, that weird, pervert (on the verge molestor) can keep his money with his bald head ***. Besides, his charities are tax write offs, i'd love to see him give money if he still had to shell out so much dough in taxes! Don't be fooled by this "charity" sh*t, it's a great way to keep "uncle Tom" from dipping in the accounts of rich folk. He isn't a saint, he's a *** fraud. I love men of color like Barack Obama, men like Russell and the REST of the color struck coons can burn.
themuse_since80,
Stop being an ignorant b*tch with your tired as "preference" list. Any intelligent black or even WHITE person knows the history behind a whole slew of black men prefering lighter tones over darker ones, EVEN if they and every woman in their family is dark. Many people have many different preferences and that's what makes us unique as individuals. But it's idiotic to ignore facts and history when it stares ya in the *** face. But like a white person being shown priviledge in America, not GETTING black folks "whines" I don't expect someone who hasn't experienced colorism, known someone they love experience colorism, or are just smart and empathetic enough to understand it EXISTS and is BLATANT to get it, either. The reason ya don't get it can be only a few reasons.
1. You are light skinned, or AREN'T darker and just fail to see the truth because you haven't had an issue like that before.(even white folks get it and see it as hypocrisy)
2. You are really a black male
3. You are a dark skinned chick with a big disgusting video booty. (we all know though they won't date ya, they'll hype ya head up enough to f*ck ya...SOME of them that is)
4. You're a dark skin chick in denial because the truth hurts too much. After years of being overlooked, you'd rather think of every other reason black men have shunned you and then go paste some blonde weave in ya head for attention.(these kinds are very rare but definitely out there)
5. You're a light skinned chick that was teased in an all black school full of darker kids and now as an adult, you could careless about a darker person's injustice within the black community.
6. You're a lighter person who enjoys being the girl in the room guys automatically think is cute because you possess "light skin" although nothing else on you makes you attractive to them. Yet, when in a room full of blonde white girls, you look like a turd to them. So you keep your love for "the brothas, preferrably darker" cause those are the ones that put you on a pedestal.
Oh yes and themuse_since80, you show your hypocrisy in so many ways. Your previous post before your assisine preference list was dissing Russell for dating a blonde white girl over a black woman. But when darker skinned women voiced similar issues with him over not dating darker hues over lighter ones, you became offended and THAT was crossing the line to you. So a black man wanting a white woman over a (light) "black" woman is absurd and ridiculous, but a black man wanting a light black woman over a dark black woman is just a preference and a way of life and nature? LMAO! go somewhere and sit down ya dizzy chicken head.
It's not just the race thing but look at the age factor! I ain’t judging because you love who you love but come on! Do you truly think these women want you for you? Come on now your in two different phases in life! Hummm come on now Rus! How much could you really have in common? And how much could you really be learning?
To tell you the truth Russell & Flavor-Flav really are not that big of a lost. If i have to vote-off a few black men off them two be at the top of the list! Neither look like they are that great in bed...LMAO!
Small *** like little chick! The skinner the women the greater the allusion of his D!ck being big!
OOOOOH. He's so sickening.Whining about these charities and the economy and yet he's worth millions and most of that money was made off the backs of the poor.HE HAS A GOLD TOILET.And he's still making money off poor people with that pre-paid credit card he has.Two different friends of mine invested in those cards and I used to see the comercial late at *** (my friends would always grumble about the cards but I didn't want to get into their business so I didn't ask).But I did ask the financial analysist at my job,and he told me that people that invest in these cards are paying alot more money than if you had a regular credit card or debit card from a bank.And neither one of these women are in the best finacial state,both are single moms.
real funny how he going ALL OUT HIS WAY to defend this white chick! He wouldn't have felt a need to do this if she were black. And Russy, don't do us any favors by throwing a bone talking bout you married a woman that 1/2 black. That don't mean ish. It's not that every smart, intelligent you just happen to run by is white. YOU SEEK THEM OUT! You have African-American daughters...how would you feel if they were never able to settle down with a man who is their equal AND their race because all of their black male peers SOUGHT OUT WHITE CHICKS?? How would you explain that to them, huh?
LMAO!! ok i gotz much respect for Russell but i dont respect this stupid *** *** @ wat da hell he gonna be on here on MTO 4?? dont he have a *** clothing business and 100 other businesses to run!!! *** get off not only WHITE women but women and get ya priorities str8 get out & donate 2 some more charities or something ITS A *** RECESSION!
@WarwickDavis...You have the nerve, you Bast*rd!
You said *** Stop lyin, you know *** well that black men by in large dont give a rats *** who you date. While you see water buffaloes like yourself every day throwing your arms up because youre mad that black men dont feel obligated to date your classless bigot ***.
What is more bigoted than you calling a Black woman a water buffalo in your response to a post? I say date whomever one pleases. I for one, am not into dating White men because I find them unattractive and unappealing.
However, most of these White Bimbos like Russ's piece of trash wait until or men make it BIG and suddenly find an interest.
Like I said before, it was *** that nourished our Black man and stood strong by his side when he had nothing. He gets some fame and fortune and forgets all that *** had done. Yet, when *** conveys a point of her disgust for it, she's wrong.
Are all white women like this? No, but overwhelmingly they're in it for the $$$$.
So all you Black men and Sistas out there that say things should be color blind. Save the rhetoric because deep within you all know that most of these white woman aren't gold digger whore* who try to emulate that Black woman so much.
These trashy White Bitc*hes have been doing it for years and our Rappers, Pro athletes and on forget where they came from.
@themuse_since80:
I THINK I understand where you were trying to go -- I just think the delivery might've cause a lot of backlash.
I DO AGREE with what you are saying, though. It's 2008 and black people STILL have an 1868 mentality as it relates to complexion within our own race. WHO GIVES A F*ck what color you are?!?! And WHY does being darker with coarser hair make you more or less "valid" than someone who's lighter with straighter hair? (BTW, I know MANY MANY lite brites with PEASY heads and HUGE NOSES -- so everything light isn't always right)
India Irie perpetuates this mentality, and although she TRIES to convey a message, all she does is play into those "darkskinned girl" insecurities and justifies them by underhandedly bashing those of us aren't like her -- AS IF WE CHOSE how we would look.
EVERYBODY is beautiful in their own way. It is NO ONE's job but OURS to accentuate the beautiful features we have. Naomi Campbell is as BLACK and PEASY as can be, but she is BEAUTIFUL -- and the list of BEAUTIFUL darkskinned people goes on and on and on!
LOVE YOURSELF because you can't pick up and move out. You're STUCK with what God gave you so make the BEST OF IT! LOL LOL
hahahaha
note to mto readers...pay attention to who you f u c *** not who russie is ever think the reason some of these industry brothers go out with non black chicks because thier traveliong to diffrent places meeting new people duuuuh, not just segregated on the block with ***,,not to sound foul but its the hard truth,,black people take it as hating but god created the world and all races for a reason fools// *** you people need to get off the block more theres so much world to explore i feel bad for you all,, you all prob have misrable lives,,dont be mad at this dude cause he dates someone you wouldnt,,,get over it thats mad egotystical and ignorent
