Dear Tyra, Do you ever do your giveaways to persons living in the Caribbean Countries.

I think that many black women have labeled any interracial realtionship between a black man and a white woman as undesirable without even giving the couple a chance to know them. As a black man who dates outside of his race, I find that my options are more and I find that I like the variety. As for the black women blaming the white women for taking their men and thinking that many black men are in a relationship because white women are more docile and easily controlled. I don't personally feel that even isn't true. I am not with a white women for any of those reasons. Partially I find the attitude of many black women a turn-off to me but I agree that not all black women can be this way. I think society had conditioned and brainwashed many black men into thinking if they find a white woman than it is a prize or a sex symbol and the standard of beauty. When you look at TV, fashion magazines, and tv commericals then you usually see only beautiful white women and then the other races of women are sitting in the background. Nothing could be further from the truth. I think that there are good and bad in any race and that black women should not put all the blame on white women taking their men because many white women have been sold the myth of the black male sexuality as being the most desired man that they want. On the other side of the coin, if many black women cannot find a black man then they should also start dating white men or non-black men as well. Love is love and color shouldn't matter, there is nothing wrong with racial preference just as long as it

Sup Tyra i was watching the Oprah show, the other day on hygiene and hair growth and she gave very useful insightful and amazing information. I was just wondering since your a fashion model and your whole life is surround by beauty and nothing more could you make a show dedicated towards affordable hair weaves in new york. Stylists who comes in show their work on their clients and their salon locations plus their price differentiation. It's a good idea, help stimulate the economy, there's a lot of African American women who wants information on good trackless hair weaves. Okay thanks.

Hi Tyra, can you have a matchmaking show with black women and Asian men who wants to date black women. Am a black woman who is interested in dating an Asian man (Korean or Japanese), but am scared to approach any of them for fear of being rejected, and also about what i hear about them. So it will be nice to have a show about Asian men who wants to date African American women...Thanks

Dear, Tyra I love watching your so it's always so fun. One thing I think you should do, for TOP MODEL, that is, is keep all the girls on til the very end and from that whole group choose the winner. This way all the girls can grow more from the show. Also its way more intense! Another thing, is as a photographer(not to sale myself but www.myspace.com/shafezzy) I would love to see a photographer reality show, I would even like being on one. I know BRAVO had one but it didn't do well. maybe if a modeling show was split into two parts like teams the models vs the photographers, better yet teams with both photographers and models working together to get the best shot the best picture. anyway that's all LOVE YA! -Sha-Fee Jackson

Dear Tyra, I am 13 years old and i really need your help. my life is very difficult. My father died and i am left with a sister and my mom who i barely get to see because she works all time. Thats not the problem a show i think you should have is about teen abstanace and how we should wait for sex. but sadly for me i didnt I was 12 years old when i lost my virginity to a 18 year old boy, i was blinded by the the things that he would say to me and i thought that having sex with him would make him like me more but i was wrong and he left me right out of the blue. i was so depressed and i wish that i could have had more sense. i cry at night nowing the fact that i was so stupid in doing what i was doing it is just sad how most girls have sex at a young age so they could have children but i maybe young but i had to go throught these things at a young age because i really never had anyone show me the rigth way to be led. i feel sad at the fact that there are women out there in Africa that cant even have sex or young girls that get raped but yet i still did it and every day i have boys that ll me that i am really pretty and i just dont beleive it any more because i think that i am am just and ugly gurl that boys like to play with. but i just live through the pain, day by day it it hurts more and more nowing that i hurt somemany people by what

Hi Tyra, First,I love your show coz of how much it positively impacts many pple's lives.Your an amazing person so keep up the good work. Am a 15 year old girl from Kenya wondering how I cld come for your show.Am a big fan nd wld be more than overjoyed to come when any opportunity avails itself.Am in boarding school nd can only make it during April,Aug or Dec holidays.I have so much to ask.... bt unfortunately I have to go now....It was nyc talking to you....Have a fab tym.....PS;Please get back to me if possible.

I am a attractive white women. I never had trouble getting a man. They come to me. Personaly I am not interested in black men except as a friend even though some black men have ask me out. There is nothing more beautiful to me then a good lookin white man or american indian. Not that there is not beautiful black men. I am just not in to black men. I agree that white women should not date black men. I can't think of hardly any black women that have a men or husband. There are some beautiful black women out there. I see the plight of black women. Have enough respect for black women. There are plenty of white men, latino, asian men out there. Leave black men alone. Except if you fall in love with a black unexpectantly. Don't just go looking for a black man. There is not enough black men to go around. And black men if you can't see the beauty in black women in my opinion you realy can't see the beauty in anyone and you are not worth having. Maybe that's why you do not interest me.

Hi, I really want you to have more shows about why young black males are 10 times more likely to die by murder than any other race/gender,and why black females could careless. Ya'll as black women have given up on young black men. Your show,Ophra,and all the rest will have all this stuff about empowering women,but young black men are on your own.How to marry a millionare, come on please, How about how to save a young black man. Black woman can stem the tide by making being a gangsta uncool instead of loving the money so much you don't care about how he made it.

I have a show idea for you. Why don't you have smart black males without collage degrees debate collage educated black women about, politics, the econmey,and the reason why there are more collage bond females than males.I would love to part of that debate because I know NO female can win a debate against me.

Dear Tyra, im a 14 yr old african american girl.Im very intelligent for my age and people tell me you're to young for love and i strongly disagree.I know i can't handle a relationship but i can love. I believe love has no color and that black women do not own black women if thats the case then black women should not have relations with white men and everyone should stay in there on race. Who are black women to tell other women who to fall in love with that is not there right. Im all for black power but love has no color...or boundaries

im 16yrs old,overweight girl that needs your help badly tyra.im emotionally stress out.bluepantherdiamond@yahoo.com

I am from Trinidad, in the Caribbean. On Nov. 25th I was trying to find information about my niece, Kindra Barrow, who I had not seen or spoken to for many years. Fortunately, I found a comment on your "Talking Back" page that was posted by a Kindra C. Barrow from Trinidad in the Caribbean (date posted: 07/03/08 8:51 AM). I'm hoping this is my niece. I would really love to contact her. It would be great if she could read this posting and write back to me, or if it's possible for you to either send her my email address with this message, or send me her email address so I could contact her directly? Hope to hear from you soon, Piola Barrow, Mount Hope, Trinidad

Dear Tyra, hugs and kisses! Wish I could be there to give them to you personally. Regrettably, I cant. By the way, here's a neat topic for your show. We're aware that parent-child favouritism is a factor in most families, regardless of ethnicity, although it should not be. No, news flash there! But what happens when parent-child favouritism is on the basis of skin complexion? Say the child gets preferential treatment because he/she is light skin and his/her siblings are not? What happens, then? Furthermore, can this scenario apply to families of mixed ethnicity? It is something worthy of your team's journalistic capabilities to follow up on. I know you would do your darnest to let the world know. Avid Viewer
