Mo Is Done With KneeGrow Wood!
Posted in Relationships on 04. Jun, 2009
Model Karen Morgan
Dear Blogxilla.com Readers:
I quit! My ignorance has finally shown its ugly face and you guys held the flashlight…well, some of you. Now I won’t apologize for JACK SHIT.
A bitch got nice hair, end of story. That’s not the point, though. Lots of you got myyyy-teeee offended for personal reasons, some of you are just angry kneegrows and get mad when another kneegrow isn’t repping hardbody for nappy roots (no fish scales) and reparations. Some of you saw my point (shout out to you guys *smile*), but then there is a loyal reader named Sunny who sonned the kid (as we say in New York). Sunny is the way you make a person feel STUPID and still keep your respect intact. I took notes and perhaps you people should too: READ HER COMMENT HERE! Trust me, as arrogant, ignorant, racist and honest as I am people like myself enjoy a good lyrical ass whoopin. I encourage that and TRUST it gets recognized. On that note, ixxnay that part two that I mentioned. I will definitely mention complexion issues at some point, but under no circumstances do I want it linked to our banter about Indian hair.
NOW… Let’s talk business…
Living in New York all of my life has its blessings and disadvantages. The upside about living in NYC is being around a mix of people. It’s amazing to see fine men of so many races and complexions with different accents or backgrounds. With my already mixed background, I’m used to the mixing of cultures and it’s definitely a shock when I visit predominantly black areas outside of NYC. I could NEVER live in Atlanta. That’s like eating fried shrimp every day for dinner. Can a chick have some variety (and I don’t mean DL men variety either!). Back in NYC, I see a few handsome men of all races and as I’m getting older I’m starting to get curious. I break my neck if I see a cute white boy or Greek man or Italian man… even Blasian (black & Asian mix). When I see a couple that is consisted of black & white, I watch them & how they deal with the attenion they cause. I mean let’s face it– people are still calling that taboo. It wasn’t even a year ago to this day when the thought of me dating someone not Hispanic or West Indian was taboo. My how times have changed my ways.

@ dopedemeaner
gtfoh… Ethiopian? girl spill the beans: TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE LIKE! lol on the flip side of that, my dad always said to me ” Mo, i won't be surprised if you marry a white boy.” he even tried to hook me up with a white boy who is a pilot for a major airline…. this was last year, though. *slaps palm into my forehead*
@ cc, sexy n sassy & lisa
ok… that's how i initially thought too about their peens. i mean, what if homeboy got a nice tan? i can deal with that!
but check this out: you know what turns me off MORE than a pale ass white boy with a pale ass penis? a kneegrow with a two tone penis: pink head and chocolate base. *BARF*
@loquacious_D
ok, i totally dig you for your input & am happy you met your prince charming. let's face it: men are MEN whether they are kneegrows or white boys. it would break my heart if i got with a white boy, liked him and found out he just wanted a slice of chocolate putang pie, you feel me? if i got a gentlemen like how you snagged yours, then i'm all for it!
so why the fuck you reading them and commenting on them? things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmm……
oh this one is interesting….
@ lisa
thank you, my fellow white girl! i'll assume here that most people who comment & read are kneegrows like myself, so your input is highly valued! make sure you drop your input on things like this.
anywho, i love your assessment on the men. i need to collect my own data and see where the pros and cons are. whats up with the “lackluster” sex, though? smh… that made my brow raise like The Rock!
@ headmistress
hey! i realized my “type” of white boy, too! we have the same type! *high 5* LOL i think if you had a hottie like Beckham & Pitt you would def get over the pink peen issue. ugh… so fine!
Mo, if I may? Thanks
@ Bridge3000 – there's this thing called Reading Comprehension – lack of such is reading ONE piece of a passage and running with that one piece without considering the context in which it was written, that being said
I mean, lets face it: I’ve been there/done that with Spanish men & their emotional ass ways. Black men & your daddy issues. West Indian men & your shovenist ways. Now what? I need more variety on my menu.
This is clearly a statement of her experience, she indicated her experience with Hispanic, Black & West Indian men – it was not at all a generalizaton, which is supported by the statements preceding AND following “West Indian men & your shovenist ways.”
@ leavin757soon
i might have to highlight this comment next week like i did with Sunny. perhaps i should have said “american kneegrows” because i'm def not referring to the blacks that come from outside of the states and live here. i too wouldn't mind getting old w/ someone not black, either.
it may be cliche, but it's def a message that should be promoted. i want a man who fits in my life like a glove and i don't mind if he HAPPENS to be a white boy or asian.
love this comment!
@ icecream
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! LET US KNOW HOW US AMERICANS ARE STUPID. LOL…
i totally agree, b.
I know right!
@ nicki
i hear you, girl. i mean, men are like a box of chocolates with a variety of fillings in each piece. i won't disagree with you on trying different types of black males. it's EASIER (sad to say) to assume something is different by its appearance without investing time to gather knowledge of it. perhaps i have that case with the white boys who are assumingly different than kneegrows without giving other brothas that are totally different than what i'm encountering every day a chance.
it's just that my curiosity is allowing me to expand my horizons and test a few waters. it's an exciting chapter of my life and it's way more interesting at this point than digging for grilled shrimp in the pool of fried shrimp. you see what i mean?
GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT POINT! Nicki I might have to highlight this comment as well (like i did with sunny's comment) for next weeks post.
@ kiwi
i like this viewpoint. thank you for sharing. now, i am single and curious on all sorts of levels about other races of men. it doesn't mean that kneegrows are disqualified when it comes to settling down or anything. as a matter of fact, all this race business is irrelevant to whoever my heart decides to claim.
i feel that if i fall in love with a kneegrow after testing other waters, then i'm riding for him & our future. if i fall in love with someone who HAPPENS to be asian or white or spanish or whatever, then it is what it is. right now with dating, i need to put down the shrimp for a while and see what i'm missing. who knows, i might be in your situation where i realize i'm not missing a DAMN thing!
@ linda
i can't say anything else to chime in because this is how i feel & aspire to experience! *high 5*
and “YOU TELL 'EM!!!” in regards to the west indians! WE know wtf we talking about!
@ leilacaboverdiana
this is a very good comment! thank you for this!
you are not Kanye West.
there for your broken capslock message won't get read.
mmmmmmmmk.
why you still MAD about me talking about my hair? matter fact, this post is about INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS and the ONLY thing you want to bring out of that is west indians and indian hair.
hoe sit down.
@ chicago
well, it will be the demise if people are breeding with other races for that reason alone. its one thing if you find someone who is meant for you but happens to be of another walk of life.
and you don't get it for the very reason you stated yourself… you're 16. real talk, i appreciate you for posting your opinion, but you DEF gotta retouch this topic in 10 years.
Mo…gurl….i done tried everything!…….
i was engage to a whiteboy….until the day he called me a “nigger-bitch”! Before that day i didn't think that people from my generation ( im an eighties baby) still thought that way. Furthermore, when i packed my belongings and left his ass, he did something that aint no knee-grow eva did, he filed false charges on me!!!! i SWEAR I ENDURED SOO MUCH NEGATIVELY FROM EVEN BLACK MALE FRIEN I HAD ABOUT MY DECISION TO SWITCH TEAMS.
Men are men. I've never let race stop me from dating a man. I've been with black guys & white guys. . .it's all the same. And please don't believe the myth about white boy peen. . .it is far from true. Small & large peens come in every color!
What is wrong with the universe? I've actually agreed w/you Mo for your last three posts?!Anyway, the topic of interracial relationships is interesting. I happen to be Black(mom)and Puerto Rican(dad). My father's family always treated me and the sibs like shit b/c we are black. Perhaps, that set the stage for my close mindedness about interracial dates. I would try to rep mom. However, I attended preparatory school and a highly selective college. White boys galore. Some of them were fly as hell and trying to date me. However, b/c my mom(a former member of the Black Panthers) wasn't trying to hear it. I would never let my interests get farther than a kiss.
But junior year in college studied abroad in both Milan and Tokyo. I had a “relationship” w/a half African/half Italian man. We never did the deed b/c I was scared of the pink penis. Silly now. But Mo, he was packing and fly as hell. I also had the opportunity to date a former professional hockey player/Harvard grad and professional playwright but I was again scared of the pink penis.
A few years before I had my child, I lived in Milan for 9 months for work. I rekindled my relationship w/my boo from Milan. The sex was crazy! Didn't work b/c I was moving back to the US. I realized what is the big deal. Date who you want. Some blk guys are packing some are not. There are trifling ass men of all races. Do you!
as soon as you stop referring to black people as “knee grows” then i can fuck with you. i passed on this post. where the fuck is xilla??
Some people really miss the point. They would rather be insulted than open their eyes. So sad….. LOL.
Hey! i exclusively date outside of my race and if i do a nigga he MUST be mixed. i'm too good for the niggas in chicago and i know it so i go for who's better than the rest, and keep a whiteboooooy! i am currently dating an italian guy a 1.2 italian/mex, and a jewboo. all three of them treat me better than any nigga ever did or would and the rumors are NOT TRUE….. their penis's aren't smalled and very much so like their female counterparts the'r WAY MORE fun in bed. they aren't afraid of giging head/request”u betta do me too” like childish niggas, and they are more likely to PLAN a nice date. i HIGHLY recommend experiencing something new* and branching out. some italians are EXTREMELY racists but the 4 families i've encountered have welcomed me and been madd nice. the only exception was his great grandmother who oddly enough looked blacker than my great gran.[some italians fresh off tha boot look VERY much like mixed black folks which was so interesting]
the best part of your embarking on the otha[steada brotha side] is learning new culture. in chicago there aren't many people as mixed as i am and niggas str8 niggas. they fit into two boring categoriess[bougoise or ghetto] and i desperately needed MORE. i enjoy learning about other people customs and the stares are fun. i've had black men[ that would never even check for me otherwise] go so far as to buy me drinks and say”nah u know u too pretty to be dealing with that whiteboy.”[then slip me a number/card] and my mom wondered if my date would eat cajun food, but those experiences are funny/gradually become less crazy as time goes on.
GOOD LUCK Mo!
cosign. my friend studied abroad and she told me how everyone was mixed and nobody acted all willynilly about it. like black on white, white on indian, etc it was all good, even black on black relationships seemed to be healthier….mmm if only i could go to europe. i catch HELL in chi for being a black woman with a white man. but niggas can't date the rainbo and its fine. wteff!?
i hear you gurl!!! i do not discriminate. i got a lot of flack for dating and then marrying a white man…. but hey we like what we like!! ain't nothing wrong with that!! do u!
@ Chicago
It's great that you're willing to voice your opinion ; but there was no need to state your age like it's an excuse for you to sound ignorant. If anything, it only leads everyone else to draw the conclusion that everyone your age or around your age is just as ignorant as you are; Which isn't true, in fact, I'm 17 & I hope I don't come across half as ignorant as you do.
I'm about to start my third year of college and one of the things we focus on in the city is educating/helping the black young adult population….soooo, back to the fact that you think the “demise of black folks” is interracial dating/marriage.. let me just say… No, hun… That's not even close to it. . try something more like the percentage of black men under the age of 25 in jail in America..or the percentage of the black kids that don't graduate from college, or even make it out of high school for that matter. Get your priorities in order, go expand your horizons & THEN come back and “retouch this topic”, like Mo said.
We do have a lot of the old “succesfull athlete marries white chick” stereotype here, but it's seems like women of color are just dating the rainbow too instead of getting mad. Getting even is always good I guess.
Couldn't agree with you more!
I agree – i live in London & my husband is black (i'm white) and we've never had any problems from anyone, this is london, anything goes. My husband used to live in NYC and said things were not as easy going there which surpriced me. to me it feels very old fashioned and strange to even think about race in that kind of way – love is what matters in the end and skin colour has got nothing to do with it. We've been together for ten years and so far so good. I personally think that in a relationship, coming from different cultural backgrounds (my husb is west african, i'm scandinavian) makes you open your mind and grow and it makes you learn and respect others and our kids will (hopefully!) be very open minded and with a rich cultural heritage and not believing in many of the rubbish stereotypes floating about.
Girls, please google Freddie Ljungberg, he's from Sweden and personally I think he's way better looking than Beckham… I would do him untill there was nothing left.
I'm Asian but I really really like black or something mixed with black…
I've dated asians too..but the attraction to them is not as much as to black people. what do you think Mo?
btw, I'm from the Netherlands
You know, I kinda know how you feel. I'm of Carribean heritage, and mixed, Black and Chinese. But you know, I've been always trying to “do the black/right thing”! As a black man, I guess I've allways somehow felt guilt and blame for what black men did, or didn't do, so I over-compensated, only dated dark women – still do. But I'm coming to the realization that I've been a fool! Black women have been swirling since jump: Lena Horne, Dorothy Dandrich(spelling) and the likes.
And let's not talk about “black men are doing it” its black women who were sexing white men to create “buffer zones” : Creole's to keep blacks in check, if you look at the election right after apartheid south africa, you'll see what I'm talking bout, go and study it, it's eyeopening! If you want to date white men, just do it and don't talk use black men and their “daddy issues” as an excuse, K?
The mistakes I made was to put black women, who were in my orbit, before me; quite literally! I bought cars, down payment for homes, trips, lots of vacations, and for what? I've put my education on hold and my career so that I can make my black woman happy cause Oprah and Alice Walker told me I wasn't shit – Yes, Oprah sends out subliminal messages like that!
Now you've got someone like Halie Berry, she was supposed to be “for black men, no? A little too light for what I was used to, but whatever. So she got with Eric Benet, a known womanizer he cheated on her- oh, big surprize now she gets tired and goes with a white man. I tell you want I've experienced, white people act really peculiar when they see a happy successful black couple on vacation; it's just something you'll have to experience for yourself to know what I'm talking bout.
I used to feel….”self desgust” when I saw a sister with a white boy, but you know, you see it so much, and I have been “shot down” by sisters who have actually have told me, to my face, that they'll only date white boys! Let me tell you, for a while I suffered serious issues behind that, I'm so glad time has passed and I've learned to deal with that.
As far as color within the black community, I've always found dark women more attractive then lighter skinned women, I had a light skinned girl, as a matter a fact my first love love was just that, but something was missing, and I met a dark sister – wow! And let me tell you, I sure did like to clean my plate, at every chance yes maam, I did; now don't get it twisted, I'm not “small”, every woman measures her man and I'm average, 7 inches, or that might be below average for a black man; but whatever, I'll not let me not having like 10 inches define me!
I'm not ready to do the white girl thing, funny, it's like after Obama, it's like white women will come up and try to talk to me. But NOT when white men around, not that I really care; I just play it off, like I said, I'm not ready to do white girls! I don't know why, but I've had to tell some that I'm gay just to not have anyone's feelings hurt or to be called a racist.
I can go on and on, but this post and seeing black women and white boys kinda “softens the blows”! At this point in my life, I'll not support Halie Berry nor Oprah, nor this “MarvelousMO” model: in this regard, I'm like white men/boys, do you really think they support Kim Kardashian? “White boys want to see themselves with black women and whoever else; They don't particularly like to see anyother race, especially black men with white women! Funny, it's like I've actually had it like thrown in my face by colleagues: “hey I got a black girl”, in a mocking way. It's hard to explain.
I know I must be rambling, but I'm kinda thankfull for this post, as a black man, seeing black women swirl has made me really have to take a long look at me; I'm successful, but have learned not to drive myself because I fear loosing a black woman/women to the swirl; I SHOULD strive, not drive ( in the first place) only cause it makes me happy and gives a feeling of accomplishment; or goals reached – again, I know it makes no sense, but I'm putting it all on the line here!
But wait, I'm confused, isn't this a site geared towards like black love? I really didn't realize the banner with the black couple, why is this “Mo person” posting this here? Isn't there a site for “black love?” I mean, there's a bunch of interracial sites, even globalgrid is geared towards that, no?
Man, I just relaized that!!
Oh, and BTW, I have very good friends in the entertainment industry, friends who don't BS or have to lie to me; that said, as far as 3 well known black men who date/marry white women/girls, come close…closer….and even closer >>>they're gay! I know one person who's been up in those hollywood hills sex parties, K? Jamie Foxx has publicists, code for white girls, er..he's Bi and that's real and I'm telling the truth! Erkel for that sit com, the same! Oh, so is Quincy Jones!
With Kanye, well, ya'll can guess, K?
I've asked why, though I've not spoken to these celebs, I've been told: it's just that a black girl will put you on blast quick fast in a hurry if you wanna really “get down.” Oh, Tyson Beckford, with that white chick/baby mama >> seriously gay! As far as women, I heard 'bout Sanaa Lathan is gay, or Bi, she too has a publicist, or a white male beside her. Gabrielle Union – Bi and a complete nut job, so I'm told!
But like I said, this post is a good one, it brought back up stuff I thought I had dealt with, but are white women who approach me do it cause they think I'm like a 10 incher, or what? I just don't know, but I wish there were black women, dark women who like black men, for real! Are they any web sites where you can find black sisters who love black men?
If you do, just post 'em, K? That's not my real email address, I'll not give that out. I'm 'bout to go on vacation in August and if I can find someone who makes me feel “real” shit, I'll get out the plastic and we'll both be on that Air Jamaica to do Port Antonio in a “2 week style!” So, do me a favor and send me the link, K? Oh, is it too much to ask that she looks like Gabrielle Union or Naomi Campbell? I just love that dark skin and I'm a freak, you can take the wheel at any time, if you think that sounds too gay, then no need to put me on blast, K?
Well GD *fanning myself* LOL…yeah he's hot, they have a similar look, not in the “they all look alike” way, just like if they said they were bro's or cuz's you would believe them
but I think I'd still let Becks hit it first
I used to dig Beckham 2, like really hard but it was all over when I heard him speak on TV. He sounds like Minnie Mouse. I can't have Minnie Mouse talking dirty to me during sex…
Inter-racial dating is very accepted in Toronto Canada too. No big deal, men are men and have the same body parts. LOL. Love is Love and really should be colour blind. At the end of the day, even though some people are 'tecnically all one colour”, everyone is mixed with many things.
Interesting fact: Inter-racial marriages have a much HIGHER success rate than same race couples!!!
2 biggest non-married groups are: Black women and Asian men, because they won't step out of their 'colour' box.
:-O Ewww, I've never heard him speak – that's definitely no bueno, LOL
kinda late, but this topic is interesting. mo, i hear you and respect ur view. i see gorgeous men of other races and i've asked myself, “could i?” and no disrespect but i cringe at the thought no matter how fine they are. if you date or even love a man who isn't black, then girl do ur thing! but i have an involuntary allegiance to the black man, can't help it. they are absolutely beautiful, and when they refuse to buy into the lie–they're regal. but the sad truth is many of them don't see the king that i do when they look in the mirror.
@linda
I wasn't using it as an excuse to sound ignorant I just stated it so folks wouldnt think I lived a full life and been around long enough to really fully know about relationships and race relations and what not
So chill the fuck out seriously
Most folks on here are grown and have experienced plenty and traveled
So I didnt want to make it as though I had similar experiences to their
No one should think my thoughts and beliefs and opinion are the same as people with the same age as me
That would be stupid because everyones different
You really need to stop assuming so much
Seeing that your in college shouldnt you have better sense than that
You seem kinda mad
Obviously since Im 16 I would have to expand my horizon Im not 98
You stating the obvious
Your comment was needed it was uncalled for
