Nobody mentioned Jimi Izrael, the author of "The Denzel Principle".......who was on the panel and totally disrespected/shunned by the women on the panel (and women in the audience). They would audibily "boo" all comments he made and make counterpoints to all of his inputs.........the reason ? He wasn't rich or famous like the other panelist. Here was the guy who WROTE the book that sparked the conversation and ABC special; and he was minimized to defending himself to a crowd of women who as Sherry put it, "don't know him like that"........disgusting; every woman on that panel will be single......forever. Or they will marry a sucker/ goldigger.
I got it. In video 3. @ 5:39 Jimi was talking about 3 qualities a woman should be looking for in a man......and then he says, you can find a one legged midget with 3 eyes and if he has those 3 qualities, a woman can make it work. That analogy ended up being the brunt of a joke, instead of the women getting the point he was trying to make.
Later in video 3 @ 7:15 Jimi started off in the wrong direction by making a generalized statement about women choosing bums and men that are fresh out of the joint. Well, I have a problem with that statement, because women who do that dont represent all blackwomen. Not all black women have problems with a man because they chose a thug or a bum. He should have known his statement was flawed since it doesnt represent how all black women end up with men who are incompatible.
Thats why shortly after Jimi made that statement, Steve Harvey distanced himself from Jimi's comments when he turned to the women and said "he ( meaning Jimi ) clearly wasnt hearing what you were saying." Steve wasnt taking the womans side, he just wanted to be known that he wasnt endorsing a statement that was clearly flawed.
I've said this before and I'll say it again......every time a person attempts to make a point but they over generalize or make statements that can easily be shot down, their pov becomes useless.
Why is everyone trippin' on Jimi Izrael ? He's a laymen telling the Black Relationship problem/story. The other guys on the panel can't relate...........Harvey/Hill get instant respect from women everywhere they go (fame/wealth). They have no idea (at least in the last 10 yrs) of what it feels like to deal with these sisters on a "street level". I do and so does every-male blogger here. If you and Steve Harvey were walking on the opposite side of the street; who do you think will get instaneous respect - from women you don't know. Yeah, Jimi needs some PR training but I felt that he was more genuine than the others.
Nirvana......what exactly do you mean , everybody tripping over Jimi Izrael? Isnt every one here simply giving their opinion and POV regarding the forum and it's participants? Or is there something more going on other than a discussion?
"Everybody's trippin on Jimi" is simply my POV.
Ok I respect that. But then my POV is , most posters in this topic is tripping over someone or something, right? It may not be Jimi Izrael, it could be someone else they are tripping on. Steve,Hill,Jacque,Sherri, them being celebrities......whatever.
Thats why I have the signature at the bottom. Where you stand on the issue depends on where you sit.
You girls should keep your "spats" in house. If you are over 25, and still need dating advice, you're either butt ugly or butt dumb. In both cases, both descripitions fit!

I'll even throw in stipid!!!
Hey Dummy.......this is how you spell S-T-U-P-I-D !! You can't even insult a MF right ! Sorry Black B.......don't worry though; I hear Obama's working to help extend your unemployment benefits. With your first check; I want you to go buy Hooked on Phonics and don't post on this board until you've finished lesson 3.
Neoqueen when you get some time watch those videos, and you will see what I'm talking about. Those black men get frustated because it seems like they're talking to a brick wall
