Bobby D’s shown more black women love than Michael Jackson, Prince, and Tiger Woods combined!!! And he’s no dilettante, either. There’s none of that creepy black woman fetishism that only involves sneaking peeks at late night videos on BET, having your subscription to King magazine sent to a P.O. box, and dipping your pen in ‘ink’ under the cover of won’t-go-public darkness. No sirree. Ol’ Bobby D believes in making honest women of his nubian lovelies. He’ll marry one of us in a heartbeat and sport us like the queens we are.

So give it up for the real Italian Stallion. He’s been keeping black women satisfied for more than half a century.

It wasn’t an easy role, but you dared to cross the color line way early, before it was chic to do so. Thanks for appreciating black women. As long as it isn’t fetishism (it isn’t, is it?), then it’s all good!!!
