Robin Thicke with actress wife Paul Patton

When this Essence interview featuring blue-eyed soul singer Robin Thicke was brought to my attention earlier today (thanks Pinboard) I laughed out loud in the street.

Robin is married to actress Paula Patton and because of this union Essence thought it would be a good idea to ask him the following question…

ESSENCE: The media often tells Black women that they’re better off dating White guys. What’s your response to that?

THICKE: I think that’s ridiculous. There are so many good Black men out there that are hardworking, decent, and handsome, you know? To start that rumor is as bad as starting any other negative rumor. There are great Black men out there. There are only a few good White men — trust me. (Laughs) Good luck finding a good White man who understands your journey. I only have three White friends. I’ve got 20 Black male friends, who are all good men who take good care of their wives, and good care of their children. I know amazing Black men. Maybe the women have to take better care of their men. Maybe you’re being too stubborn. Maybe you’re not saying you’re sorry. You have to take good care of him, too. You have to give love to get love. 

Thank you so much Dr Thicke. Your advice and powerful words of wisdom has given us all hope.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
