Black Men Are Never Called Sexy says Actor Idris Elba

*Interestingly a dude who a lot of women think of as super sexy says he doesn’t see himself in that way.

In fact, Mr. Idris Elba, the chocolate Englishman goes even farther and says that, for the most part, black men are never called sexy:

“We’re called athletic, intense, we’re described as being the strong type, the silent type. But we’re never really described as being sexy,” Elba told an interviewer for LifeFiles.com. “In general the word ‘sexy’ doesn’t apply to black men, particularly … the word has been thrown at me a few times, so if I have to say I own it, fine.”
