Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Fight Night!

Heh.

So I’m at Scottsdale Fashion Square today, helping a couple of my friends get ready for a wedding this afternoon (congrats Sarah and Nate!!!) and we keep seeing these really hot black dudes around.

Now, Scottsdale is a wonderful place, but it is not exactly known for being a mecca of black people. So my friends and I learned way back in high school that when there are hot black men at Fashion Square, there is some sort of athletic event in town. There are stories to tell here, but my grandfather reads this blog.

Anyway, my one girlfriend and I are sitting at the make-up counter at Neimans and we keep seeing these super hot, buff black dudes walk by, and we’re just sort of ogling them. Then my other girlfriend walks up and whispers to me “You see all the hot black dudes?” and I’m like “Fuck yeah” and she’s like “Fight Night” and I’m like “Ahhhhh.”

It’s a charity event that Muhammed Ali puts on annually to raise money for causes primarily related to fighting Parkinsons.

But you know what’s total bullshit? None of those hot black men are on WireImage for this event. It’s all old rich white people: Faith Hill, Kevin Costner, Reba McIntyre, Tony Hawk, etc. The best I could do was Jordin Sparks. I am seriously disappointed. I really wanted to see the pictures of these guys, mainly because there were one or two I’d like to formally begin stalking. And by “stalking” I of course mean “having sex with.”

  • Now I’m the first one to say a good looking guy is a good looking guy…but WHY do you assume that a fit, good looking, black guy MUST be an athlete? Seriously asking here. Even in color challenged Scottsdale. It’s a bit of a …not rascist, exactly…but a bit assumptive, ya know what I mean?

    Anyways, congrats to your friends on their wedding, cool you got to drool over some fine looking dudes, but next time you might try and word it a bit less like a …I don’t know….stereotype alert.

    Ciao!

  • and shay, she clearly said that Scottsdale is a place where not a lot of black guys hang out, other than when there’s a sporting event, so that’s why she predicted a sporting event. She wasn’t being racist; everyone uses past observations to predict the future. That’s how humans operate.

  • Getting married is putting nooses on your neck? Hmmm. News to me. I don’t think you have to get married to have a fulfilling relationship but I certainly don’t think doing so means you are tied to something unsavory. YMMV

    I said in my previous post that it was an honest question as to why a taut African American male must be an athlete. Maybe he just works out, whatever. Turns out they apparently WERE. Doesn’t mean the assumption should always be the, well…assumption.

    Whatevs….Beet clearly isn’t racist. I just wondered and by wondering got at least one response.

    Again, Ciao!

  • Mercedes chill Beet can defend herself I’m sure…and I’m also sure she knew someone would question her wording when stating that she and her friends knew some type of athletic event was in town because so many hot black guys were out, maybe they were just…out. If they were all actually around for this event, she would have found her pics right?

  • yeah, assumption aren’t always right. they just kinda give us a general idea of what to expect.

    ever seen the South Park episode where Cartman tells Token he can automatically play the electric guitar?

  • Anyway-Jordin looks beautiful. And,take it from me,once you go black you’ll NEVER go back!!

  • OMG I just read this one and your Adam Duritz post, and I love love LOVE how you just tell it like it is! No holds barred! I’m an asshole but I’m still holding back for fear of offending people. I think I need to go to Sasha school!

  • Hey Beet! I live in Scottsdale and I understood EXACTLY the point you were making … Anyone who missed your meaning has obviously never visited our city! I never knew you lived in Snottsdale!
