I hope it's not a publicity stunt. I'll add that Russell Simmon's wife gets hate mail and death threats but she doesn't take them seriously, and she's not even white. People have a right to their opinion just as long as they leave other people alone.
Lotsa folks on this thread would disagree with you Cy but, I'm not one of them. What you described is called civility.
I'm surprised that no one has asked me my opinion on the Taye/Idina marriage. Truth is I'm AGAINST their marriage. Never should have been allowed. It's always a mistake to let two ex underwear models wed. The marriage is likely to be BRIEF.
