Do you guys like any black celebrity?

I love Ava Duvernay!

[quote] Racism is a mental illness as there is absolutely no logical defense of the disgusting way you're acting. Vile.

I like all the black celebrities, myself.

OP had clearly never encountered JanBot or the Whitney Loon

OP, You're right about the mental illness. Block the racists and watch all the posts disappear. It really is the same mentally defectives over and over again. It's truly sad, since there are so many intelligent people who have interesting things to say. But, they give up because of these assholes. Or, everything turns in to discussions about BBD>

I like the vegan ones.

Miss Thing has clearly not met the Black Supremacist troll.

Aretha Franklin

All of them, pretty much. Except Cosby,, men who rape, beat their wives/girlfriends, etc. Same that applies to white folks.

Black Celebrities:... they’re just like white celebrities, except they’re black! Who knew?

I like Ike Turner.

We all like the ones with BIG BLACK COCKS

I don't like or dislike anyone based on skin color or sexual orientation etc. It 100% depends on who you are, not what you are.

I adore J.Lo

[quote]you guys

Because Datalounge is a monolithic bloc? Because all gays are the same?

Come on, you can troll better than that.

Michael Ealy could have his way with me

[quote] Even the black gays in the industry like Tituss, Lil Nas X, Kevin Abstract

I have no idea who those three people even are. I suppose that makes me "racist."

I like the ones on "Empire". Jussie has crashed for me but I don't hate him. I wish he'd stop playing victim & tell everyone he is sorry for his recent actions.

Arsenio Hall.

V. Fox

V. Williams (both versions)

The cast of Good Times minus JJ & Chip Fields

The entire black cast of the Jeffersons

Tina Turner

Whitney Houston

Gladys Knight

Star Jones

"T. Trent Darby"

TLC gals

All black soap opera performers

The cast of 227 minus Alana Reed Hall

What's Happening cast minus Rerun

The Cosby Show actors minus Bill & tv wifey

A Different World cast minus Dawn Lewis

Marsha Warfield

Frank Ocean

Maxine Nightingale

Thelma Houston

Plenty of others

White people are threatened by successful black people who happen to have way more then they'll ever have. It's a tale as old as time in America.

There's a reason they'd burn to the ground black businesses and communities in the early 20th century. "Black Wall Street" anyone? If they have less then black people, whites take that as a sweeping slight against their whiteness. They can't handle it.

That's especially why DL hate Jay-z and Beyonce, along with Oprah Winfrey. And probably soon the Obamas too. Their on their way to reaching billionaire status. Black billionaires make white people very uncomfortable.

Bottom line, white people do not like to see black people prosper, never have and never will. Especially if you end up with more then they have. That's why they talk so much shit about black celebrities on this site about them.

And the Peta post at R6, is weird. Why is Peta doing a list on vegans by pointing out the race of black celebrities? Kinda unsettling. But that's white people for you. Peta is a white organization after all.

If the posters here are so reprehensible why don't you go somewhere else?

R18 Us black folk like a good dog fight once in awhile.

I'm boycotting Blank Panther II unless they cast Trevante Rhodes in some capacity.

He has tremendous audience goodwill from "Moonlight."

its DL so probably Stepin Fetchit and maybe Amos and Andy would be really popular

Not particularly but I do like black guys as lovers

Whoopie, Denzel, Eddie Murphy, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson. Gladys Knight, Michael B Jordan, Lupita, Tamron Hall, Angela Basset, Courtney B Vance, Wendy Williams, Rupaul etc. etc.

Those are just the ones I really like that come immediately to mind.

My reasons for loathing Will Smith, Jada, Billy Porter and Titus Burgess have nothing to do with their skin color.

So stop it OP.

R23 Is a racist. You mean you fetishize black guys. You don't love them, their just a fetish for you, and most already know this.

Damon Wayans and some of his brothers

I really like Jussie Smollett until, well....you know

I've seen Audra McDonald perform nineteen times. Does this absolve me of racism?

Once was to see "Shuffle Along" and another was the opening of "Porgy and Bess" in Cambridge, so probably not.

I like Rachel Dolezal.

I can't think of too many black celebrities that I dislike.

There are only two I can think of:

Aretha Franklin, for the meanness and unwarranted hostility she showed toward Patti LaBelle, who happens to be one of the most kind and loving celebrity around.

Kanye West, for going all Jesus-freak and participating in activities with extreme anti-gay black pastors and others.

Venus Williams is a goddess.

Diana Ross, Idris, Michael B. Jordan, Kendrick Lamar, Donald Glover, Fantasia, Lupita, Dave Chapelle, Wayans Brothers, Leslie Jones, Patti, Gladys, Chris Rock, Sly and the Family Stone...many athletes too. Of course Beyoncé is lovely and talented. I like The Rock, not sure what color he is but I think he’s black. I even like the Star Wars guy that no one seems to like.

I like as many black entertainers as I do white entertainers. The ones I don’t like (Jada, O.J., Sean Combs, Michael Vick), my reasons have nothing to do with color.

DL pretty much hates everyone, it's nothing to do with race or colour.

OP, I gotta ask you: what makes black people happy? What do you want from white people? Do you want to socially dominate white people after being subjugated 250 years ago as reparations? Tell me, is that what will make you happy? After trying to come some sort of solution by talking to many other blacks, it seems like that's really what this is all about. Not equality. Not fairness. Dominance.

I like Justin Timberlake.

Mahershala Ali is a tremendous actor, the best of them all currently.

I like a lot of black actors and Martin Lither King is one of two real heroes I think of. Obama is also a hero.

I like the two Wayans brothers who did white face

I like The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Junior. And also this hot random black guy in one of the insurance company TV ads, but I don't remember which one.

I like Idris Elba.

R34 you remind me of this pilot. Gets mad at the ATC because and thinks he has an attitude.

Of course he had to have a New York, east coast accent, where I have encountered tons of his kind.

I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally.

I like all the old jazz greats, but they're long dead and the music they created all but abandoned.

I'd never admit in on DL , but I like Kevin Hart. I love a shorty.

Agree with R31, but she's an athlete. I love Orasine also.

r34 -Are you high, or just stupid?

r16- No, it makes you an idiot for not googling them before your snide comment. Regardless of the subject, only an idiot would brag about their own ignorance.

If you want to convince people that whites are superior, you need to up your game.

It's amusing when these racists say "black people are homophobic", but in their next breadth viciously attack every single black gay & pro-gay person in the media.

The openly hot gay ones

I think R17 needs to expand on why he doesn't like Alaina Reed Hall. If anyone has earned some vitriol it's that old gremlin bitch Helen Martin!!

I like many black celebrities and have paid for their movies, music and books. The only one I just don't like is Kevin Hart. He annoys the fucking shit out of me cause he's shrill and unfunny.

I like a lot of folks:

John Legend

Michael B. Jordan

Trevor Noah

Shaquille O'Neal

Oprah

Wanda Sykes

Keegan-Michael Key & Jordan Peele

Roy Wood Jr.

Jerrod Carmichael

Isa Rae

Dulcé Sloan

filmmaker Steve McQueen

and last but not least, Jay Ellis, the sexy guy from HBO's Insecure

R44 It must feel so good to be up on that Politically Correct High Horse, a White Knight caping for people that would never cape for you. Don't you get it? They don't want you, Whitey. No matter how much you defend them, they will never, ever defend you. White male is synonymous with the Devil Himself. You can't even be proud of being who you are because you're white, and white = nationalist. And that doesn't bother you? How much did they pay you to sell out your own people, "Average White Guy"? Average, indeed.

R47 She was a frequent guest on many religious right shows like the 700 Club. No "star" who went on there defended us against his bigotry (including her).

Alaina's husband was HIV positive but she didn't give a damn that they were all trying to stigmatize people with the disease. Helen was pro gay rights.

Benny Hinn tried to rally the troops over "gays putting AIDS tainted blood in town water towers" to infect more people for more funding.

Pat Robertson & Jerry Falwell were against Bush 1 signing the Americans with Disabilities Act because it gave rights/protections to AIDS patients. It would've been the first federal bill to give any recognition/protections to the LGBT community (even if it was just a small part). The only thing that stopped the religious right from striking out the AIDS wording was that it had broad public support when it was drafted. Their collective heads exploded (figuratively) when it was passed & signed into law. It was a sign of other pro LGBT laws to come & they all knew it.

The others like Chip Fields, Dawn Lewis, JJ & Rerun also are Pat Robertson supporters.

The tall cast member from "Martin" is also a 700 Club supporter but I don't know his name. I like the others on the show.

Patti LaBelle is also a frequent 700 Club guest/Pat Robertson supporter which is why I didn't include her on my "nice list".

Very interesting, thanks R51. I knew that Jj Walker is crazy but did not know about the others. Dawn Lewis and Tommy from Martin too? Religion is a disease.

I’m hearing wonderful things about this Frederick Douglas.

I want Drake to murder my vagina.

Hattie McDaniel. You win the white vote by playing a Mammie, sweetie.

DL loves Meghan Markle, obvs.

I like Spongebob.

I have OP on the ignore list. He's actually a racist.

Vanilla Ice and old school Mark Wahlberg

is there anything about trevante rhodes not to like?

Love Missy Elliott...

HATE: Jennifer Hudson

HATE: Jennifer Hudson

HATE: Jennifer Hudson

Is it just me, or do many of the responses above sound as lame as “Some of my best friends are black/gay/Asian/trans etc.” It seems that folks are bending over backwards to prove a point. Ugh!

R6 Cory Booker is vegan? He pretty much has a meat-eating face to me. Emphasis on the MEAT.

OP's question is stupid to start with, r65. How do you even answer that?

Yes, R65. Because they're pussies who have allowed themselves to be shamed for being born white. Pitiful. Instead of kissing LSA loon ass, they should be calling out OP/R18 for the racist piece of shit she is. "ALL white people?" LOL.

How would it be if we made broad statements about "ALL black people"? As a matter of fact, I think I will do just that.

OP, why is it that ALL black people are unable to see their own hypocrisy in calling out racism everywhere they look, yet they have no qualms about making wildly racist statements about ALL white people?

R68 white people have 400 well documented years of extreme blatant racism, black people can pull from whenever we want to back up anything we need verified or proven when it comes to white people and their racism.

White people are the ones with a ling history of racism, not black people. Your not going to win this argument buddy. So you mid as well stop now.

Dorothy Dandridge!

Thanks R64 I'll add her to my hate list.

I'll just mention the guy who I think is adorable and sweet: Keiynan Lonsdale. Was just thinking about him today so thought I'd mention him. From what I've read (see attached) he prefers not to label his sexuality.

In fairness, is there any celebrity of any race that DL actually likes?

I don't get the hate for Beyonce here

R69 sounds like a loon.

I'm a gay Puerto Rican French Canadian Jew living in Kansas City MO, and I hold some black celebrities / politicians in such high esteem that I consider them heroes, idols and/groundbreakers.

I'd be awestruck if I ever met any of them. These include:

Patti Labelle Tina Turner President Barack Obama First Lady Michelle Obama RuPaul Lenny Kravitz Stevie Wonder Shirley Bassey Will.I.Am Chaka Khan Wanda Sykes Those guys who wrote and directed MOONLIGHT Grace Jones That British actress who plays Miss Moneypenny. LL Cool J

My black heroes who have passed: James Baldwin Stormé DeLarverie Shirley Chisolm Nat King Cole

R76 interesting ancestry makeup.

Hello R77, yes I am for real. My mother's family is from Puerto Rico (Caguas) and my father's side is from the Outremont neighborhood in Montreal.

I was watching this dumb sitcom "The Unicorn" a couple of nights ago and saw this guy. He's cute, but I don't know much else about him.

R78 I'm just messing with you. I believe you.

Oh, well - at least no one has posted of their respect / admiration / love for the unfunny, homophobic, all-around talentless Twacy Mo'gan.

Nope, no respect for Tracy Morgan, Bill Cosby, Kevin Hart.

Or for second-runner-up unbathed avoider-of-soap Bob Marley. Bob preaches love and acceptance and respect, but not for anyone he doesn't like.

Respect and love for Lil NAS and Frank Ocean and Trevante Rhodes, Tina Turner, Alice Walker, President Obama, and James Baldwin and Cab Calloway.

Embarrassed for you R69.

Of course, OP, let me start with this list.

What did Tracy Morgan do? Was it the stuff he said about his kid?

Wanda Sykes at the Correspondents Dinner 2009.

87 responses and no mention of Pearl Bailey. Shame on all of you.

Tyler the Creator
