Nia Long, Taye Diggs & Sanaa Lathan Talk On Screen Chemistry | MadameNoire

[@MrSeablitz]

Im reading all these comments and im like….. NOBODY IS SAYING HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY LOOK AS BLACK PEOPLE??? DAMN THESE LADIES ARE FINE AS HELL!!!!! Carry on…..

[@TMBuxton]

I was quite surprised myself. These are some beautiful mf'ers!

[@vdw-ox7rb]

I dont mind interracial dating but it would have been more interesting if she chose an asian guy or even an indian guy. Alot of people think when it comes to interracial dating they initially think black and white, when interracial couples come in all races. I felt like she should went outside of the box and been like look Im not going to choose the token white guy Im going for an asian or indian, hell I would have chosen an middle easterner.

[@BlackMediaWatcher]

I think it would of been awesome if it was an Asian or Indian man... not so much with the Middle Easterner since they were as much a part of the slave trade as the whites and hispanics(who get a collective free pass from black people) but anyway your 100% right. If they really wanted to talk modern than Black women and Asian men makes more sense especially when you consider that there is an actual level of soldarity and understanding between the two.... well Americanized Asian Men anyway... the others are iffy lol "A professor in college explained it by saying that blacks are generally considered masculine, and Asians are generally considered feminine. It works out fine for black men and Asian women, but leads to the situation you ask about" - Yellow Fever; Wong Fu Productions. I think it's the fact that Black women mostly want the White man or lightskin latino that some observers questions their motives. That's when it becomes an "Are you exploring your options or just trying to date for social mobility?" sort of thing that black females hate but any other free thinkers can't help but question.

[@Hersheychocolate567]

BlackMediaWatcher You sound really stupid.

[@YTD07]

agreed its not always black and white!!! smdh

[@MargaritaXChiquita]

I totally agree. Asian, Indian, Hispanic, or any other race, not just white.

[@vdw-ox7rb]

***** I understand that but if people really want to educate themselves on interracial couples then they should take a broader approach because interracial means multiraces not just black and white. I get if that is normal to most but goes beyond that. Its not 60s, interracial couples come in all kind of races now.

[@blueangeloftheseas]

Three of my black prides, three beautiful people, three talented wonders, three contributions to treasured moments and entertainment in my life. Salute

[@MsLotusBlooms]

I'm a black woman and I'm relatively open when it comes to dating - although I have preferences in some areas. I've actuality dated more out of the race than inside, and I still haven't found anything special. If it's not meant to be, it doesn't matter what race the person is. Fate has to work a miracle when it comes to finding true love.

[@dread6152]

I agree with Nia 100%. You have to go with what works best for you and I can honestly say that I am a black woman 50yrs. young and I have never had a good relationship with a black man including my ex husband. Don't get me wrong I have some wonderful black male friends truly salt of the earth but in a intimate relationship it just has not worked. I find myself relating better to men of other races and I am okay with that it. I think that single black women need to get out of their own way and choose something different if the old shit does not work basically stop whipping a dead horse the horse is already dead. Choose happiness, peace and joy over being miserable. I'm just sayin.

[@dread6152]

***** What I am saying is that as a black woman I do not feel that I have to limit myself when it comes to my happiness, joy and peace of mind.

[@rollotomassi6493]

you support black women looking outside of their race. i wonder if you would feel the same way if black men said the same thing.

[@dread6152]

Rollo Tomassi I could care less what a black man thinks or feels. He does what he wants to do and what he feels benefits him. Black women deserve to do the same thing.

[@TheKofinyarko]

Drea D stop that nonsense

[@dread6152]

To Brian Moore being 50 had given me the wisdom to stop being denial and see things for what they are. So I am far from bitter I am enlightened.

[@56sonya]

Actually a white actor did kevin costner fought for whitney houston to be in the movie '' The Bodyguard '' with him .He waited a year for her to get off tour;go look it up.

[@imancampbell3207]

Exactly! I remember that clearly. Thank YOU!

[@StrongnBeautiful]

+iluvsoulmusic Correct. That was the whole point of the story line. Smh

[@reddcampaign9891]

exception to the rule. PERIOD.

[@tcoleman124]

Taye Diggs is a beautiful man.... I love Sannaa and Taye together!

[@SpamHusky]

yo is it me or Nia was strain Sanaa up & down very seductive…. @ 1:39

[@cnabor7]

Lol yea I seen it too

[@drvn8]

haha good eye man

[@nomadicvibesofelle]

I

[@BlackMediaWatcher]

Show me an example of where a white actor/actress goes out of their way to make their love interest black in a movie that was iconic solely to their community. Afterwards find a video where the white actor/actress is sought out by a popular publication catering to other white people of their gender hailing the move as great and asking to discuss why they wanted a Black Love Interest for that particular movie. Then ask why Black American are the only people on the planet that feel they have to market themselves to other races? Many will not simply because they believe #Blackpowerisforblackmen while others simply do not want to think about race in such a critical manner. Either way I don't object to the movie and will take the girl I like to go see it. I just like thinking about these things. I personally think Madam Noire promotes Black Women getting with White Men and that they have a odd fixation with doing so but this movie does reflect Black America to a degree so I have no problems with it.

[@reddcampaign9891]

THANK YOU!

[@palmrockbermuda]

We Support The Best Man to the World...Love it #BestManHoliday

[@alicej1600]

Love Jones part 2 please

[@2ndPlanet4romSun]

I love this interview! I like how honest they were!

[@bronickblack3615]

I love black women of all shapes in sizes.I don't know Nia Long personally but I like the fact that she has some power to choose her significant other on screen Whether I disagree or not in the same respect I love to see my people have more power on a far broader scale as other people who can pretty much sit back and watch us hate on each other while they profit off our talent.

[@pinkheat71]

Taye is an awful , stale, pitiful excuse of a joke... The others are.... mediocre.. SAnaa says "Get with it".. Hmmmm.. That explains why they got along so well with Taye

[@gardenia50899]

Please lower down the background music…thanks.

[@tcoleman124]

Taye is a beautiful man! I love Sannaa and Taye together!

[@itsmecassiej]

Im so glad more black women are dating out and I love to see it on screen, I think there should be more. I always will encourage black women to date out

[@tigereyes5]

I often hear slavery used as the simply justification to be against black and white interracial marriage and I'm gradually getting more and more fed up. Why not apply that rule to everything? Why would we seek employment from white people and give them out business considering what slavery did? Why would we live in the west? I know someone will say that I'm being facetious but I'm trying to make a point. The fact is that we were not slaves and the white people around us today were not the enslavers. The past shouldn't be forgotten but it shouldn't be dwelt on either. It seems silly to cherry pick situations like interracial marriage to make slavery relevant but ignore it elsewhere where it may even be better applied. If a black hand or woman finds love with a white person or any other race that suits them then it should be fine. There is a concern about loss of culture but if we embrace people's love choices then we can still be an influence to ensure that they do not lose their culture, rather than isolating them away from it. What's the point of quoting people like MLK and Mandela if what they tell us goes in one ear and out of the other? I also find it ridiculous that people constantly suspect the worst when a black man or woman dates outside. They presume that it is because they self-hate and what-not. Sometimes that is the occasion but many times it is not. If you come to this judgement with no real evidence then consider that this is a reflection on your own insecurities and not the person you accuse.

[@harmowknee]

I thoroughly enjoyed that

[@only1mandingo]

This is sick. You watch all these white mostly movies anf not once do you hear "I wanted a black man to be my hubby because it will make my character look non racist" or whatever. This is just sad..but what do you expect from a woman that hs a baby with no daddy and weave in her head. Very sad.

[@Sandland113]

BREACH SISTER LONG BREACH! Tell it like it is!

[@RobinB26]

Loved this interview. I dig the life advance giving.

[@micknelson8991]

Good for her, what's with all the racist talk from you? Get over it! Many people theses days DO NOT have issues with people of a different race. Stop building the problem. Loving someone isn't because of the color of their skin, it's what's in their heart. OBTW, my wife is a beautiful, awesome woman with lovely dark skin but her heart is pure...

[@StrongnBeautiful]

+Mick Nelson *Not but; AND*

[@jaydee85able]

Nia long=smart & hot.

[@cobra9593]

Almost every interracial relationship in movies is Black Woman/White Man! Where are the interracial relationships in movies involving Black Man/White Woman? The problem (from my experience) is that most black women don't think black men can treat them right when in actuality, they don't want a black man to treat them right. It pisses me off when I hear black women stomping and putting down black men. I have no problem with any type of interracial relationships at all. I just have a problem with some of the motives behind it. Not every black man is bad and not every white guy is good. Black women are the main ones saying "All guys are the same" and that phrase pisses me off to the max because I believe I am a great guy and it's not cool to put everybody into one category when 8/10 it is not true!

[@flatbush911]

Waiting for you to post Monica Calhoun and Morris Chestnut interview

[@RSim6100]

Why would she want to deny a brother a salary. Tell you what. Replace HER with a white love interest!

[@abdul-hamidmohammed4968]

İ Think She Shouldnt Have Requested...but İsnt Her Husband Black...No Hate Just Love

[@adlinephilip8966]

Nia Long tell the truth lol you just find him fiiiiiiiine. I do!!!! I am attracted to black guys BUT eddie is HOT very very HOT i would lol

[@blackbeauty2020]

I heard some personal jabs and saw eye contact that was telling of how they feel. #facial expressions. I wonder if this was after that supposed comment. : )

[@oskidorules8806]

Best man holiday is hot... The ladys r fine and Terence my man u r gvin it to those ladys

[@Purrlady]

As a black women, I don't think that neither a black women or man gets with another race because they think the grass is greener on the other side. I believe or would like to believe they get together out of love and the heart wants what the heart wants. Of course, there will always be people who do not know their self worth and get together for the wrong reasons.

[@ashleythompson3981]

This interview was great. The interviewer asked great questions

[@MrsScott2u]

That why I didnt support this movie

[@requanrobinson9789]

because your a racist. do you really think black people that date white people or any interracial couple cares what you think?

[@requanrobinson9789]

Yeah your comment proved my point. A black women would be happy to see freedom and the right to choose in America. Black women like you are not like black women before. Look at the way you talk. Why would any body date a black or white women who thinks and act like you.

[@wareyhattlonnvy967]

Commander Balls! Where's number 3

[@fivefivevirgo4055]

almost all the black male actors in this movie (except for Morris) Chestnut have or had a white or non- black woman Sanaa Lathan had a white boyfriend and I got my eye on Nia long tweeting things like all lives matter as opposed to blacklivesmatter.

[@carolynhowell772]

All lives do matter.

[@fivefivevirgo4055]

Carolyn Howell​ blacklivesmatters more 

[@carolynhowell772]

Why do black lives matter the most?

[@moonm1935]

They all look beautiful

[@amaka38]

hes cuban tho lol

[@quillwritesright]

Good Interview..

[@Lindasuella]

Wasn't it Taye Diggs who spoke on his desperation to get back to his white wife after being around so many black women..

[@jksn008]

I get what Nia is trying to say but when you have to showcase this then it goes into another direction and isnt really functioning. Alot of interracial couples go into this I only date "white" or I only Date Black. This is not only stereotypical but not necessary. Why do we feel that we have to go white to appear international and mainstream yet when you are white you stay white and you are still considered it. Wow this small level of self hatred is pathetic and seems to be the trend. Its Tired.

[@StrongnBeautiful]

+jksn008 It's not self hatred. It's how you play the game. You know there's no level playing field. Why even make that comment??

[@pontiacGXPfan]

I personally refuse to date black women but as much as it bothers me sometimes to see them with white men(yes, I admit that it does), I won't begrudge them their choice to date whoever.

[@MsLotusBlooms]

And you'll get exactly what you refuse. That's how the universe works. When you spend energy rejecting, you end up with what you didn't want. Trust me on this!

[@sylvester7320]

THESE BLACK HOLLYWOOD STARS IS NOTHING BUT A SELLOUT.

[@ravensolomon1146]

Love is love an if two people love each other, regardless of colour, gender or sexual preference😳, it must be their decision ... but my comment referred directly to the opinion of Nia Long. Her comment highlights the degree to which she is prepared to stoop & kneel, which is fine, but unfortunately her words may influence impressionable minds. And therefore she holds an very stupid tongue.

[@sexiidarkchick]

Race doesn't matter!! Date who u want to date

[@dailray3204]

Bedwench bedwench

[@oskidorules8806]

Its jst a color gv da sista a break
