Actress LisaRaye isn’t one to hold her tongue, and the beautiful actress always speaks her mind when it comes to her interviews.
The other day the “Single Ladies” star chatted it up with Sister 2 Sister Magazine, and she expressed her frustration with the “gold digger” term. According to LisaRaye, only black women are accused of being gold diggers while white women get a pass.
When asked why her previous comment of wanting a billionaire shouldn’t be considered gold digger behavior, she says:
“Why is that considered a gold digger? Do we say that when the White girls say that? Do we say that when we take our kids to the Ivy League school and they go to bar mitzvahs and all of those social events? But when we’re Black, they got to be, ‘She’s a gold digger.’ How is that?”
LisaRaye then goes on to say what she thinks a gold digger really is:
“I think that a gold digger is a woman that wants to be taken care of, but she’s not bringing anything to the table. She just wants you to do what you’re supposed to do for her and she’s not feeling she needs to do anything.”
Do you agree? Let us know in the comment section below.
Umm no. White women get the gold digger label all the time. I swear people pull the race card over the dumbest ish.
Agreed. Once again LisaRaye has said something along the lines of woe is me. She irks me sometimes.
Thank you.
LOL! What is she talking about?
She’s wrong. Gold digger is not restricted to any race of women. She should get out more. And I do actually agree with her that a woman who actually brings her own money to the table is not a gold digger in MOST cases.
Every time she opens up her mouth I shudder.
Not every time, but most of the times. LOL.
Well on here in the comment section everyone gets it. Black or not if they are a gold digger. LOL!
This is ignorant. I can’t stand gold diggers period. And there’s women of all races doing it. I wish she would talk less and focus on becoming a better actress.
The hell? Stupidest thing I’ve read all day. LisaRaye isn’t the brightest I see. Pretty girl, but she gives the worst interviews. She always comes off extremely shallow and immature.
Old a-s hoodrat…she’ll always be Diamond from the Players Club to Me.
Sigh…this is just ignorant. Clearly black women aren’t the only ones called gold diggers. But I really wish more women wanted to get their own money and take care of themselves. Is that too much to ask?
Old birds say the darnedest things.
*blank stare* Anyways, goodnight folks. Y’all pretty much said everything I was thinking.
When playing the race card goes wrong…lmbo!
Girl shut up. You’re too old for this.
Just no. NO.
I actually agree. Black men are quick to call black women gold diggers but then they impregnate the Evelyn Lozadas and Kim Kardashians of the world. LOL.
Right! Thank you!
Y’all I think she is saying that BLACK MEN are the ones who are quick to call black women gold diggers but give other women a pass. And she’s right!
Right
Isn’t Kim K. A gold digger?
I know plenty of non-black women that are trained by their parents to go after a man with money.
Some women should never speak on this subject and Lisa Raye is one of them.
Someone needs to just be quiet for awhile. LOL.
I agree with her
BLACK, WHITE, BLUE BLACK, YELLOW, HIGH YELLOW, BRONZE, TAN, & ALL COLORS IN-BETWEEN…. SORRY LISA, U WRONG ON THIS ONE….
