Her Confessions…
Latifah on the type of man she would like and what she wanted him to do to her:
“Personally I’d like a real dark guy, with beautiful, smooth, shiny chocolate skin, with a nice body,” [Latifah] says. “I need a big guy ‘cuz I’m a big girl and they gotta be able to swing me around and sh*t, carry me around the house. I’ve been with all kinds of guys- never a white guy, though.” Would she ever? “I doubt it. I might hang out with ’em, but I don’t think I would sleep with ’em. I just feel like there’s so many beautiful Black men out there, i don’t really need to. But I have met White guys that have been so cool and so down that it made me think about it, because they just weren’t on that macho sh*t that winds up getting half of our brothers killed.” – via Vibe
Ever had a moment when you thought you knew a person, only to realize that your presumptions were possibly wrong? Yeah…after reading this, I know that feeling too.
A lot can change throughout the years, so it’s uncertain if Latifah still wants a ‘husband’ to “swing” her around. But regardless, we here at ILOSM, couldn’t care less if a person is straight, gay, lesbian, bi, or try-sexual. We instead choose to simply judge one on the content of their character as a human being and thus far, Latifah’s character has proven to be applause-worthy. Keep doing your thang Queen!
