Taye Diggs defends Slim Thug and Interracial Couples

Earlier this month, Slim Thug revealed his true feelings about black women during an interview with VIBE. In the past, Slim Thug has dated black women. He has a brother who has always dated white women and his brother often rubbed this in his face. Both men feel black women are the lowest on the totem poll. Slim Thug is currently dating a woman mixed with black and white.

The comments made by Slim Thug have made waves across the entire black community. After all, Slim Thug is a rapper, so someone has to buy his albums. Dissing the backbone of the black community is not a great way to sell music, especially to a black audience. Despite the backlash, Slim Thug has stuck to his original statement. He is not the only black man who feels this way.

Taye Diggs understands exactly where Slim Thug is coming from because he gets the same treatment. Diggs is one of the biggest black stars on the planet. Any person who grew up in the 1990s in a black household got a first-hand view of Taye Diggs. It surprised a lot of people when he went out and married Idina Menzel, a popular white actress. Because of the role he plays with the black community, not too many Taye Diggs fans have approved of his marriage.

For the first time in his career, Taye Diggs has opened up on relationship preference. He said he used to be bothered by men who said they only liked one type of woman. Despite being a black man married to a white woman, Taye Diggs said he is not biased. Before he got married, Taye Diggs said he dated women of all races. Speaking on Slim Thug's situation, he said he sees exactly where he is coming from. Still, at the same time, he does not like it when a black man openly turns his back on the black woman. Taye Diggs said it is almost like rejecting the black community when a black person dates outside of the race.

Because the future is seemingly here, in 2010, Taye Diggs is upset because interracial dating is still a major topic to many pepople. He feels, by now, people should know things are different and not freak out when they see people of different races having a relationship. Growing up, Taye Diggs admitted he got caught up in what race was dating another race. He said he had friends who only dated black women and friends who only dated white women. Coming as a surprise to many, Taye Diggs said he used to judge the black men who only dated white women. He said he would never become that guy.

To this day, Taye Diggs says he is not the kind of person to judge a relationship based simply off of race. He is a man, overall, and he fell in love with a woman. It just happened to be the woman he fell in love with was white, but he still loves her. As he got older, Diggs said he did not care what people thought of him and he decided not to miss out on happiness out of loyalty. Once he became a celebrity, he began dating women of all races. After living in the fast lane, he met his future wife. Soon, they slowed down for each other and became a couple. It did not take long for their relationship to blossom into a marriage.

Because he is older and wiser, Taye Diggs does not let the thoughts of other people about race bother him because he has a woman he loves in his life now.

Slim Thug says Black Women should be More Supportive

Yesterday, Houston rapper, Slim Thug wrote an editorial for the website, AllHipHop.com. In the section, he wrote about his opinion on relationships. As a black man, Slim Thug said he found it hard to trust black women. For years, he dated former Destiny's Child star, LeToya Luckett. Earlier this year, they broke up after Slim Thug's infidelity.

Slim Thug said the mind of most black women is different from women of other races. He says black women feel as if their man should do everything for them. On the other hand, he feels couples should work together as a team. Slim Thug admitted there are not too many good black men left and black women have their standards too high.

If a black woman does land a good black man, such as himself, Slim Thug feels they have to bring something to the table, too. Because of his wealth, money is not an issue. Slim Thug hopes to have a woman to cook, clean, and do dishes. He said black women cannot think they are above this or they will be alone.

Slim Thug said he has a brother who has a white girlfriend and he often brags of how she gives him no problems. However, Slim Thug said he has a girlfriend who is mixed with both black and white. He said he guesses the white half is the half that does the cooking and cleaning for him. But, Slim Thug admitted she is more than this to him. She is capable of carrying herself because she is college-educated and Slim Thug loves her for this. Before hooking up with this girl, he ran through his fair share of slower girls.

In the end, Slim Thug wrapped things up saying white women treat their men better than black women treat their men.
