Jaleel White cried that fine black women didn't want him as he wasn't a thug or athlete

He was the lead in a popular Black show and was unable to pull any of the attractive Black women of the 90s?

It sounds like he was the problem because from that post alone he seems insufferable. These “good” men have the most off-putting personalities.

Well. I’m half Becky but I guess I know how both sides tend to move. It’s more cultural than racial.

First off nerdy isn’t a look. It’s a personality but I’ve noticed in the black community nerdy means any black man that isn’t into hood activities. In most cases, a nerdy black man is a normal black man in any other community.

A nerdy woman in the black community means she can’t be physically attractive. I’ve noticed that in the black community you are either nerdy or an IG baddie. So nerdy women can’t be physically attractive? They can’t have nice bodies? They can’t have pretty faces? Like if a woman has a big ass you snake automatically disqualified from being a nerd? If she has G Cups that means she can’t be intelligent?

They equate looks with personality. It’s very weird.

Well, in the '90s biracials were firmly in the black category, so they rejected him for thugs as well.

He is certainly not classically handsome for African American standards, but you won't convince me that Jaleel offscreen hasn't make you some of you feeling giddy.

I've seen some of you fonts drooling over Adam Driver and Bengali men.

He's fairly above average looking, tall, powerfully built, hunky and well-groomed into his looks and body with a good posture, nice complexion and a stare to make women melt off. He has been one of the first multimillionaire African American famed persons of minor age and he's seems fluently intelligent with something of an edge or cockiness.

You do know who he reminds me??? A Gen X--

And he too voiced his concerns, in regard to the way African American women treats him ever since his teens to his late 30s. Black women really started to drool over him but after he started to play hood guys who tries to make it, superheroes and specially Killmonger. Black women began to get mad at who he date but AFTER he incarnated Killmonger on tbr big screen.

I am not intentionally misrepresenting this. His so called “level” are actresses, models or anyone in the entertainment industry, maybe even business people in his vicinity.

That is a small pool of black women. You’re telling me that the black women in this pool of women, the best looking ones only want the worst of the community? I call absolutely cap on this.

His level is literally actresses and models, and here you are saying that he shouldn’t be aiming for the fine bw? Make it make sense

Jaleel is the worst of the community? This is what I said earlier, your bias is too much. You literally think of him as dirt, so your not able to see anything worthwhile of him.

Only on LSA is a man the caliber of Jaleel “the worst of the community”

Sir, you are ugly. Ain’t have sh!t to do with you not being an athlete or a thug. And why would he need a fine black woman when his wife isn’t even a fine white woman?

He is not attractive. He has a bad temper. He punched one of his gf boob and popped the breast implant. He is violent. Let the alabasters have him.

She is Ivy League educated, works in tech and is a billionaire. If she was black, everyone would see her value, but since she is a yt. We are going to ignore everything about her and act like Jaleel is scraping for a bottom of the barrel yt.

Meanwhile the most notable black actors have black wives...Denzel, Samuel L, Will Smith, Forrest Whitaker, Lorenz Tate, Omar epps, Morris Chestnut, Ice cube etc...
This is so irresponsible to say! They never make sense.

Cajun Cutie said:

If you’re going by status alone, he would’ve gotten a nice looking black woman, but let’s not be obtuse here he only wanted a certain looking black woman. He was too good for anything else.

However the fine women that he wanted, had the same standards, and he was mad about this.

1. I said Jaleel stated that the women that he wanted wanted the worst of the community I didn’t say Jaleel was the worst of the community. I do not believe all the women on his so-called level wanted only thugs and rappers.

2. He wants the finest, but in the end, he did not end up with the finest, so stop using that as a weapon against black women.

We aren't stupid. Its a lie black men like to pull out, along with black women have attitudes, when the reality is just that a lot of black men just prefer whiteness. Its endemic worldwide, but for some reason they dont like admitting it.

Theres a whoooole bunch of ugly, corny black men with black women, and hes rich so his chances of a fine black women are even higher.

The fine black women didnt want him, so he went with an ugly white woman? The fine white women didnt want him either, so why didnt he get with an ugly black woman....because he likes whiteness! His comment and his wife tell the whole story.

This is the bit that’s weird. Everybody can see that these men have a preference but they hate to admit to it.

Why do you say that?

On an episode of The Howard Stern, maybe 20 years ago, Stern, asked White, whether he liked white women.

He answered something to the effect that he wa an international player and didn't discriminate or some nonsense like that, so I'm not surprised by his current choices.

He didn’t land a fine white woman either so… shrugs…

Specially ever since they introduced his Steve role's Mister Hyde-like double Stefan Urquelle. People instantly knew that he was just playing a heightened version of his offscreen self and he was rumoured to be a ladies's boy (than man) since his mid to late teens. No wonder why they introduced Michelle Thomas as her groo-- (heavy rackles) handler/companion. He costed too much to the TV network.

Except he said that he couldn’t find physically attractive BW that were interested in him. Not that he couldn’t find a BW with all those qualities that was interested in him. He literally doesn’t even need to specify black women he could say the same thing about attractive white women not being interested in him but the whole point of his statement was to put out a specific narrative.

He said, finest black women. He said nothing about Ivy League educated, in tech, We have those.

Now, if his definition of fine is that she’s a billionaire then go ahead get that money, but stop using black women as an excuse why you had to marry her could’ve just said he loved her or ww in general and moved along.

I love how scores of Black men all have the same story about how Black women don't want them and y'all insist upon the following excuses:

1. Yeah right you just wanted a white woman
2. Maybe they just didn't like you
3. Why can't Black women like what they like?

You can't be sassy and drink the feel-good Kool-aid at the same time. The passport bros, the BM who divest, the up-and-coming athletes...are just Black men y'all don't want. Stop painting a narrative like they just worship whiteness if y'all are more than happy to give them your behinds to kiss.

He could've done better.

I noticed that middle aged handsome black actors never dates attractive white women when they date out. Common dated the ugly patrician looking blonde crow from "Jurassic Park". Jamie Foxx dated that woman from Dawson's Creek who was being married to Tom Cruise. Heck, even Shemar Moore ended up settling into marriage at age 53 with a plain looking Jane!

The only black actor who smashed a white girl of his league was Will Smith with the likes of Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie... and while being still married to Jada. And smashing other mens cheeks.

Because in only wanting then”finest women” he was aiming out of his league. It’s not because he was lame and “not a thug”.

He just was not attractive enough for the attractive women he wanted.

Time to go back to Africa and to spouse some African lady, Passport Bros.

They’re always talking sh!t about “the finest sistas” while shacking up with the most hard-faced mid Beckies. If fine white women don’t want you, why do fine black women owe you anything?

Also this insults both black women and his white wife, the former bc slut shaming and the latter bc he’s implying she was a consolation prize. Just dusty and tiresome all around.

Black women love to say this and I'm sorry, but I don't think a lot of Black women deserve to be let off the hook that easily.

Like not directing this at you specifically, but you can't reject Black men, then when they find favor with other races of women and then candidly talk about why they're not with Black women, you want them to keep it as cute as possible. If it's embarrassing just say that.

1. Yes, and he is entitled to his opinion, because (idk about you) but I do believe there is truth about black women wanting a certain “kind” of man. There is nothing wrong with this, everyone is entitled to their preferences, but for some reason we are going to act like this isn’t a thing in our community. Wanting a man with edge or wanting a bad boy. Even in other communities they state this. But because many feel it’s “unfair” then this means it’s not true. If you say that black men desire a certain type of bw, NO ONE DISAGREES. It’s okay to admit that women wanted a certain kind of man, definitely a man the opposite of an Urkel.
And again, this isn’t thugs and rappers specifically, this is men who embody a stereotype.

2. Do you think he could’ve gotten a billionaire tech exec bw? People say she is ugly (well so is he). So on that front they are equal.

You think he would’ve been able to get that in a bw?

(And guess what, if you say no…that’s why he left and was able to get better elsewhere). Because in our community, many (like you) believe he doesn’t deserve that kind of woman. So then what? He should just settle, not try to get better. and “stay in his place” because other bw feel he should?

You said it best: teen movie.

In adulthood, the popular white girls goes after the white nerds and white postnerds. Bill Gates. Mark Zuckenberg. Jeffrey Epstein. The guy who played Sheldon in "The Big Bang Theory". Henry Cavill. David Tennant, and the list goes on and forth for both sides of the law.

Have you seen a change of mind among black American women in regard to corny n___gas as they attain their 20s to epiphany phase??? Almost never.

Because he’s not attractive. But not finding this man attractive does not mean a black woman wants thugs instead.

Plenty of thugs are equally ugly.

I hate this narrative that some loser ass bm put out. I liked the nerdy, awkward boys. I've dated way more of them than the "thugs". Shyt my husband is a nerd. We collect Legos and all types of shyt.

He just has a certain vibe about him that we don't fw so he could've kept this.

Nevermind asking for him to get a BW. Which is weird because BM tell BW that they don't care about how much they make and that's not what is attractive to men.
