AceShowbiz - Patrick Patterson took a lot of heat online when his comment about black women went viral. The Los Angeles Clippers star seemingly called black women bulldogs in a 2018 Instagram post where he gushed about his longtime love Sarah Nasser.
He got defensive in the comment section when an individual allegedly asked him why so many athletes married white women. He wrote, "So I should settle for a bulldog and act like I'm happy with my life and preach 'keep it in your race' to the world as if Dr. King didn't fight/die for equality, acceptance, all cultures loving one another, and no hate?"
"No thanks," continued the 30-year-old basketball player. "That maybe your life but I don't want that for mine or my family. Color doesn't matter. Wake up."
In his original caption, the NBA star penned, "In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine. Happy Anniversary."
"Beautiful," one replied, "but you don't have to insult a race of women to uplift another race of women. Is your mom a bulldog? What about your grandma? Again, you seem truly in love with your wife and that's amazing. Many blessing to us all."
"Did you call black women bull dogs? i mean marry who you want, i'm mixed race myself but ... am i the only one caught that?" another commented. This individual shared similar thoughts, "Date and marry whoever you want, but don't you ever in your life refer to black women as Bulldogs or any type of animal for that matter."
One more similar comment: "Nobody cares that you married a white woman. If that's your preference, cool. But referring to the women of your own race as 'bulldogs' is vile and unnecessary. Says a lot about your character or lack thereof."
In a post where he posted a clip of 1991 movie "The Five Heartbeats", an angry person told him to "stick to your kind sir." The person wrote, "If you want to date white women and put down black women while doing so then you are not apart of the community!!! No one cares if you love a white women just don’t put us down to do so, furthermore, stay away from the culture and enjoy theirs since they love you so much. Shouldn’t you be posting 'Walk the Line' Johnny Cash movie clips. Not black movie clips made with BLACK WOMEN IN THEM."
