ATL Celebrilove: Urshmeka Speaks


The meka of Urshmeka spoke out in a recent article in Essence saying that if she was mixed, light skinned, or other, people would like her better for Usher. She goes on to say that so what she's not a size 2 or 25 years old...they are in love. Chic has a point. I dont know her personally, so I cant speak on whether or not I like her, their situation just seems a little weird to me. She's old and has dozens of kids, and he's gayish...let me stop before Ursh shuts down this site (you know he's done it before to his own fansite) And based on Usher's previous taste, she doesnt fit the "Chile" mold. But what Meka doesnt realize is that not many of us are losing any sleep over whether she and Usher belong togehter, most of us couldnt really give a hot damn and actually do care more about those on the streets in ATL and Darfur. We only speak up when she thrusts herself into the limelight as she often does. So calm down Meka...no one really cares.



Here's the quote:


“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.”

Lesson Learned: I'm not for everyone.

There's a partner at my law firm who is smart, rich, attractive, pushing 40 and still single. Most would consider her a great catch, but for some reason, she's not married, or even dating for that matter. I initially chalked it up to her being too focused on her career to give married life a try and being too set in her ways to open up and date different types of men. However, in a conversation we had yesterday, she told me that she's single and happy. She's single because, as she put it, "I'm not for everyone. And I'm ok with that." Her statement caught me by surprise, but the more I think about it, the more I like it.

We have to realize that some of us are too smart, too strong, too blessed, too anointed, and too favored to be with certain people. It doesn't make us any better than the men we try to date, just different. God made us unique for a reason and we have to realize and embrace the fact that we aren't for just any ol' guy. We are for the equally yoked, strong, supportive, loving, mature brothers of the world. So if you are alone or in an unhappy and unfulfilled relationship, say it proud, "I'm not for everyone" and wait patiently until God is finished making the man for you.
