Black People I Have A Crush On
Filed under: Deserving - November 8, 2007 @ 7:11 am
1. Claude Steele - A brilliant social psychologist with a European porn star name
2. That cop I dated earlier this year - He wasn’t nicknamed “The Energizer Brother” for nothin’.
3. Sojourner Truth - “Ain’t I A Woman?” My god YES.
4. Morgan Freeman - I visited his blues club down in Mississippi a few years ago, and he showed up and got down with the patrons! I’m usually not a celebrity whore but I did get all excited and took his pic from afar. Me= dork
5. Stefon Harris - I saw him perform on Halloween night and OMG it was hot. Watching him play the vibes (my new favorite instrument btw) made my nipples hard. He was channeling spirits I tell you. The silver watch on his right wrist flashed in the stage lights and it was like he was harnessing time and energy. I know that sounds cheesy but crushes often render a person senseless. Eek his website is as cheesy as me - the intro has him pop up and juggle mallets, now I’m giggling nervously.
6. Angela Bassett - Duh
7. Van Jones - Founder of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, he’s all green and feminist and pro-education and books…peace and opportunity, baby.
8. Samuel L. Jackson - Even though he’s obsessed with golf
9. Harriet Tubman - A strong, take charge kinda woman, if she were alive in this century she would totally wear a strap-on.
10. Obama - Does he count as black?
11. Josephine Baker - She doesn’t even need to wear a skirt fashioned out of bananas. Say, was that a racist costume or just the second best use for a banana? Is writing this list racist? Let me look it up… “racism: hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.” OK so this is definitely not a racist exercise. Just tasteless.
12. My friend who speaks German and lives with bunnies - I so want to pet her rabbit.
.
Bonus! Token white guy: Phil the sommelier at Remys - Heads up, he’s snazzy and adorable. The dapper and colorful outfit he wore the other night was practically Willy Wonka-ish. He could have his own children’s television show or swanky gay bar looking like that. Go check out his hedonistic wine flights and tell him I said hi!

You don’t like Denzel Washington?:)

I second that regarding Samuel L. Jackson. I watched him sing the blues in Black Snake Moan and got hot and bothered. Mmm!
Other black men I would do… Hmm… I would do Taye Diggs. I am not sure beyond that. I am more attracted to Asian men than black men.

Nah I don’t like Denzel too much, though get this! I’m due to watch Malcolm X AND Black Snake Moan in the next week - they’re sitting next to the DVD players! Y’all are PSYCHIC!!!
OK so Gina you need to post a list on your blog featuring Asians You Have A Crush On. HA!

Angela Bassett, I’ve got a major girl crush on her! Gorgeous and super classy woman.

OMG! I was going to do this post! You beat me to it!
I literally laughed out loud when I saw this post because I couldn’t believe it.
