Although divorce rates among black women and men are higher than average, black love is still very much alive. Marriages and relationships that continue to stand the tests of time, trials, and tolerance give hope to black singles searching for strong, black love. Remaining together can be even more difficult for couples who face scandals, rumors, and other hurdles that come along with living in the public eye. So those who have shown long-term commitment are to be congratulated and encouraged.

The gallery below showcases Will & Jada Smith, Barack & Michelle Obama, and other black celebrity couples who have managed to make it last.

The off the court drama going on in the NBA Western Conference semi-finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets is so thick, you can practically reach out and touch it.

Not only do you have the war between Carmelo Anthony’s fiancée, LaLa Vasquez and Mavericks fans [click here to read], you’ve also got the tiff between the team’s owner Mark Cuban and the Nuggets’ Kenyon Martin.

Martin, or Kmart as he’s known, unleashed a profanity-filled tirade at Cuban, who had ripped him before trying to make peace (see video below).

Apparently, the bottom line is that Cuban got personal when he told Martin’s mother that her son was a thug while leaving the court Saturday following a controversial non-call that resulted in Dallas losing Game 3 and falling to 0-3 in the series.

Cuban came to his senses and apologized for the remarks Tuesday, one day after Martin, a Dallas native, lit into him at the conclusion of Dallas’ Game 4 win Monday night at the American Airlines Center. In the same game, Carmelo Anthony’s fiancée was escorted from the arena.

While walking off the court, Martin looked in Cuban’s direction and said, “You better walk that way. You better walk that way you fa***t motherf****r. You gotta come to Denver, bi**h.”

Carmelo’s Wife Explains Game 4 Ejection!

After a rough night watching her fiancée Carmelo Anthony and his Denver Nuggets battle the Dallas Mavericks at the latter’s American Airlines Center Monday night, LaLa Vasquez is firing back in the form of a statement.

The MTV personality was ejected from the arena following an unspecified “incident” with some Dallas fans sitting behind her. She says the altercation aired on television took place only after she and her son were verbally attacked by nearby Dallas fans, who allegedly used racist language and even threw ice cubes at them.

She sent her son home early and was preparing to leave herself when she was physically pushed, according to a statement from her rep.

“Obviously the play-off games bring out the best and the worst in fans but what happened on Monday night with the racial slurs/threats, verbal attacks on my son and physical attacks to myself by irate fans was unacceptable,” LaLa said in the statement. “The fans were totally out of control. What the cameras captured was me defending myself and didn’t show the abuse that was taking place.”

The Nuggets and Mavericks meet again tonight for Game 5 – this time in Denver.
