D Wade acknowledges Gabby Union at BET Awards

So last night Dwyane Wade won the Humanitarian Award at the BET Awards. In his acceptance speech, he acknowledged his long time girlfriend, Gabby Union as his "beautiful Black queen", and the trumpets sounded in Heaven... Sarcasm

I didn't watch the BET Awards, so all I know of it is what I read online this morning. People are really geeked over D Wade acknowledging Gabby Union publicly? 

He didn't propose to her, profess his undying love or save her from a burning house... He just said "yeah...we are together." All of the vainglorious tweets affirming Black love came pouring in.


Has society devolved to the point where a man merely acknowledging his significant other is cause for celebration?

I mean good grief! People have snake belly low expectations these days. 

Are people so used to being someone's secret booty call or sometimes "boo thang" that this type of acknowledgement is abnormal?

So what does this mean for Gabby? Now she has official "main chick" status? She has been promoted from former "side chick"?


The mere fact that relationships are spoken of in this manner and with these terms is pathetic.

If this is supposed to be Black "love" these days... I wanna know "What's love got to do with it?"
