Usher’s wife is continuing to complain about how the Black media, and Black women, in particular, have turned on her. Tameka Foster Raymond tells Essence Magazine:
“We (black women) don’t like ourselves. If I were Hispanic, Usher would have the sexiest wife alive. If I were mixed, he’d have the sexiest wife alive. “But he has a black girl, and it’s like, ‘She’s horrible and she’s ugly!’ “OK, maybe I don’t fit the cookie-cutter standard - 25 and a size two - but this is who he loves.”
“There are women getting raped in Darfur, young girls being turned out every single day right here in Atlanta. We have bigger issues to worry about than two people in love with each other.”
Patti LaBelle, who refers to Foster as her “second daughter”, backs her up:
“Tameka is a pretty Black woman who has been married before… but Usher knows her past and he loves her.”
That was a kickass article. What do I do now?

This bitch is talking out of her ass…..WTF?
Well, in about two years when Usher dumps her for either a non-black woman or for a man…she’ll be singing a different tune.
As a black woman, I love myself, a little too much actually, and I love other Black women….perhaps a little too much as well…lol…..
What she fails to realize is, those black women who have been knocking her and Usher’s union are not doing so because SHE IS BLACK, they are doing so because none of his fans want to see him with her and all her baggage!

Tameka needs to stfu. For real. Fast.
No one is knocking her because she’s black. That’s her little cop-out to stand on her tattered soap box and pout but not discuss the REAL issue. No one likes her because she’s a GOLDDIGGER! Chilli is black, everyone LOVED IT! Need I point out that we were upset that the two of them called it quit. If Usher decided to marry a non- black person, then I think that probably would be the problem. Personally, I dont care. But we love the FACT that he married within his race… BLACK POWER! Its just the fact that your in it for what you can get out of it… and poor Usher, doesn’t even see it. But as far as the public, media, BLACK media being angered at their union, its irrelevant at this point. All thats because that baby is in the world and no matter what comes of that marriage, the two are joined for life through that child. So ten years from now the public, media, ESPECIALLY black media, can be right about our little hunch on little miss Tameka & it wouldn’t matter because she’d always be in the picture.
