Terrell Owens: “I Love Black Women”
T.O. recently opened up to Essence about the allegations that he has a problem with women of his own race. The NFL star says that’s all bs and that he loves Black women. Check out what he had to say below:
ESSENCE.COM: Speaking of women, a lot of sisters believe you don’t have an interest in Black women. Is that the case?
OWENS: Not at all. Black women I do love you. Honestly, if I were to reveal the Black females I’ve dated, the women who are accusing me of that would be surprised. I’ve had a lot of Black women hit me up on Twitter accusing me of not liking my own kind and all I have to say is that they are thinking too much. These women don’t know me like that to have something negative to say about the women I date. Perhaps I have a certain type of woman that I like and a preference and I shouldn’t be faulted for that. And for the record, I’m very familiar with headscarves because my grandmother wore them. I was just saying to Kiya that the women I date don’t wear them because it’s the truth. If I’m dating a Black woman and we hang out it doesn’t mean she’s sleeping over, so I might never see her in a headscarf. Again, I think some women are thinking too much about this because I love Black women.
So ladies, do you think Terrell is just trying to cover up the fact that he prefers vanilla or does he have a valid point? I think sometimes when you have to say, “I’ve dated many Black women” it’s almost like saying, “I’m not racist, I know 5 Black people!”

IT’S F**KED UP THAT WE LIVE IN A TIME AND PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD ONLY DATE PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE YOU. IF WE ARE TO BEAT RACISM, WE HAVE TO STOP TEACHING IT. BLACK PEOPLE WANT WHITE PEOPLE TO BE FAIR TO THEM, BUT TEACH THEIR KIDS NOT TO TRUST WHITE PEOPLE ETC, AND WHITE PEOPLE TOO DO THE SAME THING. THIS IS ASS BACKWARDS THINKING THATS BEEN AFFECTING OUR WAY OF LIFE SINCE THE BEGINNING. HISTORY IS EVEN TAUGHT WITH RACIALLY CHARGED MOTIVES, SO HOW ARE WE TO EVERY REPAIR SOMETHING WE HAVE BROKEN FROM JUMP. I FEEL FOR “NIGGA-LOVERS”. WHITE PEOPLE THAT DON’T FEEL BIGOTED TOWARDS ANY RACE, THESE ARE THE LOW NUMBERS OF PEOPLE WHO SUFFER CAUSE THEY ARE OUTNUMBERED AND HAVE TO HIDE THE WAY THEY FEEL SOMETIMES. FOR EXAMPLE, JAY-Z SAID IT BEST, ” IT’S HARD TO TEACH RACISM TO A WHITE KID WHEN JAY-Z IS PUMPING FROM THE SPEAKERS IN HIS OR HER ROOM, THE CHILD RELATES TO THE LIFE THEY HEAR IN THE MUSIC, WHILE THE PARENT REMEMBERS HOW THEIR PARENTS WHERE BROUGHT UP, THIS IS WHERE THE CYCLE MUST BE BROKEN. I’M A REALIST, I HAVE TO RAISE MY SON A LIL DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY MY PARENTS RAISED ME, THIS ISN’T THE 80′S. S**TS A LITTLE FASTER NOW.

Look at all the athletes that are married to white women they perfer them over black women point blank. T.O is just a player and i don’t see him getting close to anyone anytime soon cause he’s still playing the field and messing with these girls heart and that sucks. Grow up T.O.
Tylese
He likes the non- black women like almost all brothas. fuuuuuck him who cares
PRTYBRN
He know he likes the vanilla and that’s his choice. I do not like when brothas that do like the vanilla try to cover it up or deny it to me like I’m going to curse them out. I’m like you do not have to prove anything to me if you like white women, you like white women I do not care be real about it.
MsSatinlips

LMAO…Yeah Right Terrel…i watched your show one time and i saw was white and asian girls you were getting up with!!!!..
Hellokitty111
To me whoever he dates is his business. and no they don’t follow him around 24/7 with that camera cause we would honestly see more if they did. My thing is if he wants any type of woman just pick a better quality, i personally don’t like his choice that i saw the other night. I do like his girlfriends, those two crack me up!

Lol, after reading the rest of this interview, I realize this Negro has a show. They’ll give anyone a reality show, i need to go hook up w/VH1 and get mine going
No-Nagger
Whatever, who cares what he’s into? He’s not really worth an article w/this much speculation, IMO. Let whoever wants him, have him.
DangerouslyInLove
Honestly, i don’t care who he’s into. If I was tryna get with him that would be different. You do you TO and imma do me…
feliciawatkins
i just need 3.5 minutes…maybe even 4. Doesnt matter what he likes, doesnt change what I like…I love T.O. Im your number two fan next to mom.
Fyner_Things_N_Lyfe
Still not buyin it. He has to say whats right to not get bad publicity. Only black females he deals with are family members. If he’s talking about we only see whats on tv, thats because he’s doing what we see. The cameras are following him around, so maybe he needs to do things differently so he won’t be criticized.
alphaj1
Hey, whatever floats his boat. People are racist about who other people date. Whyyyyyy???? It’s not your business. Mind your own business and date who you wanna date. Call him and ask him on a date. Stop assuming stuff about other people because the only ass is u. Either you are on his level or not. And he mite just b tired of black women for now. So let it go and let colors blend.
mesearching4ago2girl
funny thing about fame is the peons only see what’s on tv, gossip, and media.
