Thanks ST. I thought her name was odd. I have heard of Ione, but the article threw me off since they spelled it Ion.

I LOOOOOOVE me some Vince Carter, but, alas, I cannot have him. So, instead I will be happy for him and his pretty new wife-t-be...
P.S. I don't why some of ya'll are surprised that she is Balck/African-American...Vince is a "brother"--he majored in Afro-Am (not that that means much , as I know of some Caucasian Afro-Am majors also--but it means something) at UNC, and was all about getting that diploma...

I remember about VC getting the diploma.
*Hijack/My opinion*
I think that people are surprised about VC and Dr. Rucker just simply because of the fact that more than a few wealthy, high-profile black or multiracial men (err, Eldrick) aren't dating or marrying black women. I still think that much of the furor over interracial relationships is because of the perception/reality that the "better catches" aren't interested in us. I'm not sure we'd be so irked if it was Quantaquavious, Pookie, Man Man or Ray Ray crossing over.
*End hijack.*

Ditto on that, Ideal 08. I was at UNC when Vince first got there, he was cool peoples. But when did Antawn get married? lol I missed that.
side bar: I had a white AfAm professor who constantly tried to belittle the Black students' comments in class. He wasn't liked very much. Just b/c you studied it extensively doesnt mean you, a white man, can tell me, a BLACK woman, what its like to be black.  
end side bar.. lol
just had to share that..

I agree. I thnk a lt of people who do not stop and think about the ramifications of a company trying to exploit our memebership might think they are cute and buy them because they like them and do not realize there is a reason why they should leave them on the shelf.
I do think the fact they are specifically targeting our orgs and are doing all of this on purpose is disheartening. They knew exactly what they were doing putting 1908 on a pink and green shoe or 1913 on a red and white shoe.
