Why would you be so concerned if Rock dates a "Sistah" or not? Who cares who he dates, gets in the sack?
Does his lovelife interest you so much? Will you be content and be able to sleep better if you see him with a "Sistah"?
Why not date a "Sistah" yourself instead?
I'm married to a Sistah, so that's not an issue.
As for his personal life, I really don't care as much - as long as it's for the right reasons. What are "right reasons"? Well, let me answer by saying what are "wrong" reasons.
I think worldwide, the standards of beauty go to the light side. You see it in many cultures, even those with significant dark skinned populations - hispanic, asian-indian, and American. For many people of color - particularly darker shades, hooking up with a lighter shade is a status symbol, a sign of upward mobility - with the ultimate prize being a tall, blonde girl.
To hook up or marry darker - no matter how lovely she may be is considered going backward. You see this with celebs and sports figures all the time, and just to have dark skinned people represented in media is also rare - particularly in latin america and in India. Not all dark skinned people are attractive of course, but even those we'd consider fine in America would get no play elsewhere.
I've seen personally people of color who are not comfortable in their own skin and around those who look like them, and find themselves wanting to associate with, date and marry lighter/whiter people as a sign that they are just as good and acceptable as someone else. A lot of these folks would dye their hair lighter, where lighter contact lenses, and some even have surgery to appear less "ethnic". I know some who will ONLY date outside their race. They often express the same bigoted comments usually attributed to folks outside their race.
I've also seen people date/marry interracially out of spite of their parents, who may be bigots themselves, and nothing would hurt them more than to see their children go "outside".
These are some of what I see as wrong reasons.
Right reasons of course are out of true love, respect, and understanding. With right reasons, you can either look past color, or even better, accept the color of another and appreciate it. To love IN SPITE of color is one thing, to love BECAUSE of color, just as you love yourself is even better.
Would I date/marry interracially? Yes, but I wouldn't do it to feel better about myself. And I would hope
that the person I'm with could appreciate who I am, and the culture I come from, just as I would respect
and appreciate hers.
As for Dwayne, I was speaking more of his movie pairings than his personal ones. In all his films, he's never had a black love interest. In his last major role - "The Game Plan", he was all about dating and being with white women as a sign of his success and fame. Would his character think dating a black, or island woman, who is just as fine be any less?
I'm not sure if it's by choice, or simply coincidence. Perhaps he feels it may hurt his image if he does and he'd be typecast as a "black" actor. Who knows.
Perhaps that may be part of the reason he gets no love from Samoans. Perhaps they think he feels their women aren't good enough for him - not the fat 300lb women, but even the fine ones. Again, we may never know.
My only comment about the girl in the pic was that she was fairly average looking, but as I also said, there may be other things about her that he likes. He's entitled for sure.
