Real Housewives of Atlanta reality TV stars Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes

I don't understand what the necessity was for "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star, Kim Zolciak, to state to black magazine of all things, that she does not date black men, as it is not her "preference." What do you mean Preference, nobody asked you about your wig hair color.

Zolciak stated to Essence magazine, "I don't date Black men. I never have. It's not a prejudice. It's just a personal preference. People always think that Big Papa is Black. I don't know why. I've never dated a Black man. It's not to say it wouldn't happen in the future, but at this time, I never have. "

The comment comes across as racist, because it is discriminatory, disdainful and did not need to be said.  It is as though you wanted to hurt someone in saying so.

Zolciak also brags about her wealth in the article, which she derives from sleeping with married men, who pay her for said services. There's no polite way of putting it. Zolciak believes the hype accompanying the show, which will not last.

POSTED: AUGUST 20, 2009 - It always seems as if Kim Zolciak is in the heart and center of most of the drama on Bravo's hit show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Between her infamous fights with NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield and harsh words with Lisa Wu-Hartwell, controversy follows Kim like a moth to a flame...

ESSENCE.COM: You two came to blows a few months ago. There was a police report indicating that NeNe assaulted you. What happened?

ZOLCIAK: NeNe and I have decided to just move on from that. Yes, there was altercation but we've talked in great length about it and we're just both on to bigger and better things like her book and my wig line. NeNe and I care about each other and because we do, sometimes emotions run a lot higher than if we didn't care at all...

ESSENCE.COM: Rumor has it that you and Dallas Austin don't talk anymore. Plus, he's said some really nasty things about you.

ZOLCIAK: Dallas is a piece of work. He likes to Twitter, which is so trivial. I don't know what his problem is and quite frankly I don't care. I don't have time for negative energy. I worked with Kandi on my new song and I'm really excited about that.

ESSENCE.COM: Is it true that you don't date Black men?

ZOLCIAK: Yes, it's true, I don't date Black men. I never have. It's not a prejudice. It's just a personal preference. People always think that Big Papa is Black. I don't know why. I've never dated a Black man. It's not to say it wouldn't happen in the future, but at this time, I never have...
