Terrell Owens reflected on his dating outside of his race during an Instagram Live with Chad Ochocinco this past weekend.
The former NFL player said during the exchange, “My experiences with Black women growing up wasn’t so good.”
He said, “When I started dating white girls- my first experience with white girls was when I went to college. I tried to date some Black girls when I was in college. They did not like me. I was skinny, I was scrawny, I was teased from high school even to college, I got teased for being dark-skinned. So there was a lot of self-esteem issues.”
“Nah, I’m being dead honest,” Owens continued. “When I got my opportunity, my first experience with a white girl, it wasn’t bad. But I just totally gravitated to white girls after that. That wasn’t the situation. So again, my experiences with Black women growing up wasn’t so good. But that still didn’t deter me from still dating or pursuing Black girls. So my thing now is, because I know there’s a stigma that’s stereotypical of athletes to go off and make money and date the opposite color, opposite race. But for me now, where I am, it’s not even about color, it’s not even about race. For me, it’s about somebody that I have some chemistry with, good energy, and I get a good vibe with. That’s where I am. We all want somebody that’s attractive, you know what I mean? Aesthetics are gonna play a big part.”
“Anybody that says ‘Oh, well I don’t care what a person looks like,’ that’s a lie,” he concluded. “That’s a lie, we all want somebody that we can roll over and wake up to that looks pleasing to the eye. Everybody’s experiences have been different. When I grew up, my high school is pretty much, it’s 50… I don’t know what percentage of Black and white, but I lived in a Black neighborhood. At the end of the day, I attempted to date Black girls. When I was younger, I wasn’t as handsome as I am now. I didn’t have this beautiful smile as I have now. I was a late bloomer. And when I bloomed, boy did I bloom.”
Wonderful blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There
are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused ..
Any ideas? Thank you!
An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment.
I think that you should write more on this topic, it may not be a taboo subject but generally folks don’t talk about
these subjects. To the next! Many thanks!!
