Answer 8

what the first person said......why would it?

Answer 9

No.

Answer 10

Who cares? If she likes him then it shouldn't matter. If they're going to be hidding from the public then they shouldn't be together.

Answer 11

It would depend on the female and the male and how they choose to conduct themselves in public and the type of companies and endorsements they seek.  

Keep in mind that companies with products to sell only care about making money.  If they feel that a certain person will help them do that, I don't think it would matter what else they did in their private lives as long as it wasn't hurting anyone or dishonest.

Answer 12

Come on!

Answer 13

no it wouldn't at all.

Answer 14

it definetly depends on the type of black man. If the media thought he was intelligent or not intimidating than, no not really. But if he fit the media's stereotypical view of a black male, than h**l yes.

Answer 15

Hello,

Officially and publically nothing would be said but of course  but secretly and behind her back, quite possibly.
