Recently the movie, “Obsessed” came out starring Beyonce, Idris Elba, and Eli Larter. I haven’t seen the movie, but I’ve read what the movie is about and saw the trailers for the movie. To sum up what the movie seems like its all about to me; successful black man is stalked by ‘black-man loving’ white woman. Its funny how Hollywood can capture and portray some of the biggest stereo-types in life, but refuse to capture the essence of basic attraction between man and woman.
To note, I haven’t seen the movie yet. But “Obsessed”, to me, promotes more hate than just trying to “prove a point”. I’m an African-American male in my 20s, a college graduate, nice job, and very ambitious about achieving future goals in life. Because of this, should I believe the majority of white woman want me and are obsessed over me? Absolutely not. If anything, I would believe that any woman who’s looking for a man/companion would want a guy who’s ambitious, charming, successful, and overall…has a head on his shoulders. Same for a man looking for a woman/companion.
Many decades before, we were taught to believe the stereo-type that every black man wants a white woman. Even till this day. You see some of the comedy shows making jokes about the African-American entertainers or athletes constantly having a Caucasian woman by their side. We see this and paint a picture that black men can’t get enough of white women. Now, society is painting a reverse stereo-type that’s showing white women can’t get enough of black men. When are we going to stop this foolishness and just let people live their lives. I’ll tell you right now, I’m not a fan of people who have racial preferences when it comes to picking and choosing a person of the opposite sex. Me personally, I love WOMEN…nothing more, nothing less. She can be big-bone, skinny, black, white, puerto-rican, haitian, you name it. As long as we share a common attraction for each other and dig each other’s company, I’m with it…can I get a witness
????
I definitely plan on seeing the movie, “Obsessed” for entertaining purposes for the most part. I’ll also pay close attention to the portrayal of the whole interracial attraction in the movie. They definitely have some good actors and actresses in the movie like my dawg ‘Stringer Bell’ from “The Wire” and my ex-wife, Beyonce’ (LOL).
Lets kill the hate overall. If a black woman is with a white man because they love each other, let them be and wish them the best. If a puerto rican man is with a haitian woman because of the basic attractions between man and woman in general…let them live and be happy. Other arguments are legitimate towards mine and I’d love to talk about it with you. Please share your comments and opinions and we’ll have a open, responsible discussion between us mature intelligent adults
