Ms. Hill just needs to lay low and let this headline pass by, her latest statement is causing her to be dragged all over the internet. When you have a reputation for lateness no matter what you say such will be used against you, even if you was in the right. Sorry, but projecting western dogmas to a man from Africa because he projects to stereotypes based on men who share the same color as him is an unfair judgement. The weeknd is Ethiopian, Ethiopian men are very different from western Black men, at the end of the day he will marry an Ethiopian woman. Ethiopian men don't even marry Black women from the western world like that. Ethiopians have never been enslaved, nor colonized, when they move to the western world such is the first time they are associated with be black, and are projected to all the bagged that comes with it. The Weeknd speaks an African language, and was raised in an authentic African culture. Ethiopian women are not criticizing the weeknd for his image, yet non-Ethiopian black women are. I don't understand it, its not like the Weeknd would marry a Black western woman anyway; Habeshas are largely exclusive to their own. No one labeled Ms. Hill a no show, from what I seen most said she arrived while he was performing, she was a couple minutes late. Ethiopians are Black, this has nothing to do with dogma (wrong use) or projection (I assume you mean 'extending' and not the psychological use for this term?) and everything to do with understanding how deep self-hatred runs. Incorrect, many Ethiopian men and women marry Black women/men from outside their group (the Weeknd is a product of this), perhaps not in majority, but it does happen (I know quite a few). It doesn't matter to me that he doesn't marry or date anyone of non-Ethiopian descent. He seems to not even like the Black women within his group, and that is just ONE issue I have with him. I don't need a history lesson, that's not an issue for me. The majority of Black men who are raised overseas have massive self-hatred. He is one; I can spot that ish a mile away. Being able to speak the language and share in cultural customs is NOT indicative of someone that does not have self-hatred. You doing too much and are inserting elements that do not quite fit. I don't care about his image, however there are some who have made mention of him. Another incorrect statement of yours is asserting that Ethiopians prior to coming to America/wherever didn't associate with being Black, that's not accurate AT ALL. PLEASE GO TAKE A TRIP TO ETHIOPIA. It's just there is no USE in stating the OBVIOUS in a country or continent where race isn't a factor (on the surface). It'd make more sense to go by ethnicity/tribe/nationality, but they most certainly and PROUDLY claim they are Black. I don't care who he dates or who he marries, what I DO care about is him using Black culture cultivated and pioneered by the SAME women he purportedly dislikes or has disdain for. I doubt he'll marry anyone within his own ethnic group because he doesn't seem to like Black women in totality. Yes they labelled her a no-show, scroll through the thread and on the internet. They labelled her a no-show, which is probably why she came out swinging in her initial release. It's good she released her second statement. She probably wanted to clarify or give a more thorough response. This was good, she probably won't release another after this because she exposed the grammy's to be liars. She ain't caring about being dragged now lol, she exposed them for being liars and put the fault of misperception regarding this situation squarely on the shoulders of where it needed to be, because this wasn't a PROMISED performance and CBS/GRAMMY's ran it like it was. A surprise is just that, a surprise...it wasn't supposed to be announced and it wasn't confirmed. I'm Ethiopian. I know my people. Projecting what ever generational abuse that occurred with Black people in the western world that destroyed Black families are not logical to project on Ethiopians, as the majority of us were raised by both of our parents, with our fathers in the picture. If you ask the average Ethiopian about their father, they will all tell you how great their father is. Ethiopian men typically are great fathers. You are projecting dogmas and behavior patterns based on Black men in the western world. Abel aka the Weeknd is not a descended of slaves. Interracial relationships are not accepted in Ethiopian culture, I know my people once again, 99% of Ethiopian men marry Ethiopian women. This is why you don't see Ethiopian women all over social media making statements about the dating choices of the Weeknd because dating outside is not a problem to us. Even on LSA when this was brought up by Black American women, the Ethiopian women on their reaffirmed countless times thats not an issue for us, because in the end when its time for marriage his bride will not be African American, Jamacian, white Canadian, Black Canadian, Latina, European, she will be Ethiopian. We know this. You are not Ethiopian yet you are projecting your American life, and relationships with Black men and their behavior on a man from Africa, who is Habesha, and who is only given an Black identification because of some white identification system. Most Ethiopians don't even view themselves as Black. Most of us come here from war torn countries, trying to escape war, only to projected into paradigms of Blackness, projected to stereotypes and associations which we have never experienced before. Your black experience, is not the black experience of every person of African descent. I went back to Ethiopia last summer, like I do every summer, and as I stated before interracial relationships is not a problem for us because we affirm who we are with our own faces. Like the little story goes that Ethiopian parents tell their children... when God made white people he put them in the oven and took them out too soon, but when he made Ethiopians he put them in and took them out in time, because he made them perfectly. There is no light vs dark skin, colorism, or putting non-black women on a pedestal. Whiteness is not the standard of our beauty! Our history does not start with white people, they come late into it! Just because some Black men in the western world decided to put white women on a pedestal instead of women from his own race is not the problem of Ethiopian men! Ethiopian men have nothing to do with that! But if you think you know more about my people than I do continue on... The average Ethiopian considers themselves to be Habesha not Black. Black is a identification projected on African people by white people, my people were never slaves, nor colonized, so why would I considered myself something based on the projection of outsiders? Africa is not some place where one perspective and identity lives. Most of us won't even marry "Black" people from different tribes than our own.

However, as I said before, no matter if Ms. Hill was right and the Grammys was wrong, or the Grammys was right and Ms. Hill was wrong, in the end negativity will be projected at Ms. Hill and her camp due to the reputation of being late for so many years. Sad it's that way, but it just is. I believe this will continue until she gets out their in the mainstream, and public perception changes.
The Grammy's are not over, and like Ms. Hill says... "Tomorrow is another chance."
In the end, this may just be the wake up call she needed, life gives us those to steer us on the right path...

I know I am on dodgy ground here but I just wanted to asks few questions about this whole Weeknd and black women business.
Is it not possible his remounted statement could be interpreted as:
1) I don't fck (with fck not meaning sexual intercourse but annoy) with black woman as I have too much respect ?
2) I don't fck with back woman ... As back woman are for marriage and children not flings (thus would run Parellel to how a lot of cultures from the subcontinent act)

Am lucky in a way as I have always been exposed to the conversations women have about men when they are not around and the conversations men have about women between themselves when women are not around.
In many cultures white women are seen as easy and lacking morals. Easy meat is a phrase I have literally heard.
Then you have certain women who pride themselves on been a "freak" like that's all they have to offer anyone.
Regardless of the whys it just seems so sad.

AGAIN, PLEASE LISTEN, it would MAKE SENSE TO GO BY YOUR ETHNICITY rather than your race in a country that is majority of the same race. THINK 4.) The Weeknd grew up in a very different environment; he did NOT grow up in Ethiopia, so his experiences dealing with self-esteem and self-worth and being Black in a majority WHITE country will be shaped DIFFERENTLY in many ways. However, the continent of Africa is PLAGUED with self-hatred. Furthermore, there are TONS of various ethnic groups in Ethiopia, there is no 'average' Ethiopian, smh lol. 5.) AGAIN I stated over and over again that this has nothing to do with him not marrying or dating non-ethiopian women, but has everything to do with his OWN self-hatred and his utilization of a culture that was partially pioneered by Black women he detests. He does NOT like Black women in ANY capacity.6.) The problem is you do not know how White Supremacy has infected Blacks/people of African descent AROUND the world 7.) I did not insinuate nor state that White was the standard of beauty smh lol damn.. 8.) I also did not insinuate or state that Africa was a monolith (now this is what we call projection in psychology), nor did I state or insinuate about there being one perspective or one type of identity. Stating your race doesn't remove your ethnicity smh 9.)I doubt he will marry someone of Ethiopian descent. 10.) Racism is a socially, economically and politically engineered phenomenon (which includes denigrative ideology backed by a system), it is associated with racial differences, these racial differences are exploited and used for oppression, as such THIS is what is a product of Whites or the projection of White insecurity, not race itself. Jesus Christ, you're inserting all sorts of ideas that weren't even the topic of the conversation. SMH... again save this kind of b.s. for LSA, we ain't doing this here. You can do what you want. I'm with Lauryn, she'll be fine. Please do not derail the thread anymore with this nonsense.

You'll be back Oprah. This is pretty awesome there are lot of different opinions but they are all real views held by real people and it's great they are been talked about One thing I don't understand though is ... If a man says he doesn't fck with a certain type of woman based on hair colour / skin colour / ethnicity / caste is that a good or a bad thing or somewhere In between depending on your own perspective ? Is a man reducing a woman (any woman) to the status of an object / thing / toy really something that is acceptable or desirable ? One of my favourite authors Terry Pratchett many years ago wrote that people as things is the worst thing and when we treat people as things that's when it all goes down the crapper. A sentiment repeated by MS Hill in a line from Neurotic Society, "man is not a product, if you call him that then stop it !" As an aside I wanted to do my English coursework on Terry Pratchett but my teacher said his work lacked depth and would not be suitable. Well his work appeared in the national exam at the end of the course:) eat it ! You could look at it two ways 1) Thanks dude am glad you have more respect than to view me in that way but really I don't like it you view anyone that way 2) Why am I not "good enough" to be treated like a piece of meat and be discarded after I have been used ?

And on that note, I'm done with this thread. The Grammys are over. ok, I stand corrected on him not being mixed, that's fine. Nonetheless, that's neither here nor there, the fact of the matter is that he has self-hatred, whether you want to see that or not. History is history, can't refute that and yes I DO KNOW many Ethiopians. Sorry, but the term Black has been used for thousands of years in Africa to refer to race. It was not something Whites came up with. It was already in existence across the continent, it just made more sense to use nationality/ethnicity because of where they were located. One of the reasons Africa has so many problems is because it's too divided over there, very easy to conquer split ppl. Europe doesn't have this issue; they serve the interests of Europe and its descendants (Americans) at any cost. Sweetheart, you inserted the bit about Ethiopia, not me. I simply stated he has issues with being Black. Take it or leave it, I don't care. He has a horrible character and he can't sing, has nothing to do with him being Ethiopian. It's just you got all up in your feelings about it because you're Ethiopian, not my problem, that is projection. I don't have any insecurities about who I am, I just recognize game, you don't (you can continue to try and use reverse psychology though lol). Stay or leave, Lauryn will be fine. Life is full of complexity, the Grammy's were wrong to do what they did because it was not a promised performance. In other words, Lauryn reserved the RIGHT to pull out/back out at any time because it was not an obligation on her part to fulfill. However, she SHOWED up, but she was not under any obligations to do so and stated as such. An attempt by Lauryn was proffered and successfully rendered, however it was possibly rejected by the Grammy's unwillingness to allow her on stage, their call, but it was wrong to say she was a no-show, when she was not. Yes, I was disappointed in the beginning, but I don't like how they tried to pin this all on her and exploit her 'record' of being late as if she ditched some sort of obligation, especially since we know she told them it was not a SURE THING.

if Weekend didn't grow up around black people no one should be offended/analytical if he don't prefer black women.
it's nice to hear Ethiopians aint bought into the colorism the rest of us have. they seem unconcerned with color, based off Oprah's description of her homeland.
love to see people ignore the popular imposed dogmas and calmly live their life, like "mind your business"

NOOPPEE. You obviously don't know what colorism is. Are you Black? if not, I'm sure you do love to see the truth ignored lol. The only reason someone's own race isn't preferred is because they loathe themselves, this is internalized self-hatred 101. Racism isn't an issue in a land filled with Black (African) people, you step out of this and you get a rude awakening. However, the effects of White Supremacy, colonialism and the continued oppression of African people in Africa are indirectly tied to White Europeans to this day and manifests in a variety of ways.

Look here.. I only visit six sites on the web and FugeesOnline and LSA are two of them... I don't need any blurred lines up in hurr... Separation is a must... But I do appreciate the open dialog so I guess its okay... P.s. Any other good sites anyone can recommend?... the internet is so big yet so boring for me lol... I feel you. What type of content are you looking for?
