It's no secret that the It girl of the moment is none other than 12 Years a Slave star Lupita Nyong'o. However, if you are not quite familiar with the actress - you must catch up. Over the past couple of months, Ms. Lupita has been overwhelmingly praised by the press - praising not only her elegant sense of style, beautiful complexion, but her brilliant poise as well.
From the description alone, you would think that Lupita Nyong'o had the full package, right? Well, according to some, Lupita is only missing one thing: A "hot" white man by her side, and that white man is Jesus lookalike Jared Leto.
Of course, the connection between the two is not in the least bit shocking - both actors have been photographed together on numerous occasions, seen happily chatting it up during various award events. Just recently, the two were also allegedly caught huddled in a small corner in a restaurant together.
Lupita Nyong'o And Jared Leto Dating Rumors Fly http://t.co/X61852trJL via @HuffPostCeleb PLEASE LORD JESUS...LET THIS BE TRUE!! #TeamSwirl
— Elise (@AllAboutRowland) February 16, 2014What is surprising, however, is the eagerness to have a black woman pair up with a white man to further propel her status. Interracial relationships are a beautiful thing and need to be more embraced, but not at the expense of losing one's sense of pride.
Personally, I love Lupita and truthfully, I really don't know much about Jared other than the fact that there are rumors going around of him taking advantage of groupies & that he's borderline abusive in bed. Let's hope Leto's crazy antics aren't true for Lupita's sake, especially if they are actually dating.
What I know for sure: Black women are beautiful and always have been - with or without a man. Good-looking, successful people coming together can also be pretty damn exciting, I get it - but let it just be that and not bring color into the equation.
