Tameka Foster: Black Women Hate Me!
Tameka Foster isn't satisfied to sit back and raise her baby with Usher quietly.
Instead, everyone's least favorite wife of a celebrity is speaking up again in Essence magazine, responding to her negative public perception:
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, âShe'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.
This may be true, but at the end of the day, the United States doesn't care about Darfur because its economic and political interests aren't threatened.
Usher is a national treasure, however.

Tameka,
You're a pretty lady and Usher appears to be so happy and in love. I love the picture where he is showing his wedding ring, I wish your family the best.

I can't believe that people are really hating on Mrs Foster. I think its wonderful.

Mrs. Tameka Foster, Usher
A word of advice from someone who thinks that inner beauty is as Valuable as outer beauty. Usher sees a beautiful black woman who loves and adores him. I am so glad to see that he has a Sister on his side and may you begin to look at yourself daily and see the beauty that you posses. May you two grow older together and rear that beautiful baby in the fear of God!
Girl, hold your head up and be grateful!
Love, Sandra

Sersiously is anyone surprised that he likes older women?? Duh, he was with Chilli all that time and she is quit a bit older than he is... Leave them alone and let them be, I am one of those light skinned wavy hair women that she speaks of, however, I believe that black people are brainwashed into believing that if you aren't light with wavy hair, and a perfect body that you are "ugly"...SMH.

i want to tell tameka that i am proud of being black woman, not that gorgeous but i like my look and my color. talking about the fact that fans of usher like me think she is not good for usher because she is black is simply and absolutely wrong. i think she is even some kind of beautiful but not suitable for because she is older. personnaly i have never wanted to see usher with a white or hispanic woman(that is why i hate ''in the mix'') i'll like to see him loving a girl of his generation not a mama with a luggage of 3 previous bambinos!

i am in shock and disbelief!!!!!!!!!!!!! what's wrong with usher??? But then it goes to show that he is a lot more than what meets the eye. Tameka is a beautiful woman but not suitable for usher.Even usher looks older now.

I think that this Foster woman is tooooo old for Usher and she already has 3 children..... Come on....Let the Kid (Usher) be a freaking kid!
She is all used up rite now...Usher needs a nice young black chick to stand next to him

mmmmm....why would u think that black women hate u? no sweetie "we" dont,it shouldnt matter what people think or say about you or usher....when youre in love bullshit and rumors dosent matter and love conquers all evil......

Where is Tameka coming from when she says black women don't like themselves. I'm a women of color and I LOVE MYSELF. Do she honestly think only black women are calling her UGLY. If you are confident within yourself you wouldn't even address the comments people are making against you. How much you wanna bet ..she going to get plastic surgery. The only thing that came to my mind when I heard about the marriage is that she must be a nice women because Usher is fine and successful and many women would love to have him on their arm.

Bumquesha is so right! Where does she get off saying black women don't love themselves. Perhaps she didn't love herself when she was out there writing them bad checks. She is stupid anyway because I wouldn't even concern myself with what the media is saying about me. And you are right she is gonna have to get plasic surgery because she looks old as heck and she is 38. Old azz! This is one marriage I can't wait to see fail!

I don't have a problem about your age I would have loved to see Usher and Chilli get married, but you Tameka just dont compliment his style plus you're making him loose his "SEXY" Black or not you are just not the chick that seems right for him....you've got way too much baggabge seems you just need someone to take care of you and your kids and I guess getting pregnant would do the trick.......

I agree with nikki I hope he made you sign them papers so you won't get all his ends when yall get a divorce
June 10th, 2008 1:28 PM
He is with who he is with. I am happy he is with a black girl. And so what if she is older. He happy. And he got a baby boy because of it. She is right, if anything black women should be supporting her. But we are the main ones hating on her. Probably because they wish it was them, PLEAAASSSSE!
he is happy, they are happy that is all I care about. And she is not ugly, are we still on that light skinned/dark skinned thing. it is so played. hello black people we come in all vearieties. dark skinned women are just as beautiful and light skinned women!
grow up people!

Wow African American women jealousy aside...we white women would never hate on ouselves like this nor allow others...i think its a deeper issue of self loathing & if you feel y=this way now what happens when you grow up a bit (50 or 60)...is it the end for you?
June 25th, 2008 3:13 PM
OKay, Mrs. Foster or should I say Raymond this man has a crush on you. What is a crush, let me tell you. A crush is knowing that when he thinks about you he smiles and when he hears your voice he gets chills of joy. This is him saying and knowing that you and only you are all that he is. You are what completes him inside and out. It's a joy that no one else knows but you and him and no one can break that. So to all you haters let these two be, they wanna rase there family in peace. SO LET LOVE LIVE
HANG IN THERE MISS LADY

This is ridiculous. Why should it concern anyone who the man dates? Maybe I have an issue with this because I am not from a celebrity oriented culture. We tend to place more value on other issues that we deem more important such as education etc. I personally do not see why it has any bearing on anyone in this forum. None of you are close friends with Usher and or his family and so his life does not directly affect you. I must agree with Mrs. Raymond to a certain extent in that we are pre-conditioned to subscribe to a highly Aryan influenced sense of beauty. Fairer complexion and hair that is "less African".

i see exactly what she is saying. why can't we just support the fact that he married a black woman! we need to start thinking about sending out the right image as a race!
