“Great exchange between people of color”

My first thought was that this was a pseudo black community site pretending to be about black people and their struggles but I was wrong. I met many black women and men who are focused on elevating the black community.

“Fake racist site”

robert b.

Site is run by racist scammers who allow fake profiles to threaten you in messages or posts. Then they block you from leaving any messages or comments. Beware of this racist anti-white site. There is no customer service because they are the ones doing this.

Hey this is a scary site. Men are using the military and there kids to prey on innocent women. They will pretend too like and care for you. They will ask for money. This site need too shut down before someone gets hurt. And the military need too justify this immediately.

They're using other people's contact information on the web. An alert for the dark web contact information leak points to email accounts from their domain.

Blackplanet is full of racist users that do nothing but chat racial derogatory content about white people all day long and the website allows it. When whites complain they are ignored. When someone gets sued for racial discrimination or slandering white users maybe the owners will wake up.

Wow we try numerous times to have profiles on BlackPlanet only to have them killed by BP Administration for looking good and being white! The Site is NOT SECURE full of scammers and people not who they say they are!

To make this very quick, this site has so many technical issues. Many parts just don't work. Sometimes you can't even log on. If anyone one is tech. Savvy. It's a thing call Denial of Service attack and this site to seem to be under one. They always state they are going under maintenance this happens just about every day. I hate to say this but this site seems to be run by ghetto black people. Matter of fact this how much crap I think it is. My page name is damittohell on their…see ya!

If you speak out against dusty, misogynist, incel, low life, homicidal Africoid men, the 'good ole boys club' will block your Afrioid woman a*s! Their website is fuilled with SO MANY GLITCHES (unlike the older version which was better) and the following members are low life pigs (Hueu,hotbread1,@Wise_Phenomenal,@COLE_717,@PrfctGntlmn30,@SpectreTru,@Rome*******, NOWHITEIN, Grrrowth,@BlkSultry007,@VerbalAssassinator,@sassinatorMgty-01fYis. This KING OF THE LOW LIVES:@mrob1, is supposed to manage the site, yet allow non-Africoids to post whatever, and allow soft core p*rn on the site. He's the KING of clown slobs! He allows me to be cyber bullied, after repeatedly reporting what is happening on the site, because he's friends with those who are harassing me unprovoked! This site and those who love it ARE TRASH! ALL OF THESE CLOWNS ARE THE DUSTIEST OF THE DUSTIES. NO WONDER WOMEN DON'T WANT THEM!

Tip for consumers:
This entire website is a hot flaming pile of dumpster fire trash!

Men can dog women out all day. I never dog them out on feeds but my account got removed. The feeds full of misogyny and clingy people always in your inbox.

This was a great website during its Inception. But over the years it has deteriorated due to all the gays, stalkers, and hackers. Some members flood and spam the chat rooms, Some creating fake profiles with the same exact spelling of an already existing profile. I saw one member get harassed and they posted her real name and address. So you are definitely not anonymous at that site. I have been harassed and stalked myself to the point of closing my account, and i will not be returning anytime soon.

Yeah, nice community and always worth checking out. You can socialze and discuss many topics. It ain't a real dating site though so if you really want to go into serious dating you rather use large black dating sites sites like BlackSingles4u.com or maybe Blackpeoplemeet.com. But this is a great black community forum. Been an active member since 2011 so I know there ain't no better community for us. Keep it up guys, you have build up hell of a forum

I came across at least 3 men who sound like scammers. They come on very strong with the romance but soon start asking for money. They are always from Africa. One is even impersonating member of United States Army! Women need to be very careful. If they are promising you the sun and stars and you have only known them a few weeks, be wary.

Barf is what comes to mind. How can anyone go to a website with a name like this. It is so racist. This website would bring out the worst of people just so they can meet people because of the color of their skin. Absolutely gross idea of anyone interested for this reason. What shade of skin would be dark enough to be on a website like this? How can anyone looking for a decent human being think that another person who selected this site for skin color could be worthy of their time?

It's a waste of time. The developers and stie admin are INCOMPETENT! It makes absolutely no sense that the site is down at last 20% of the time and 40-50% of the time it's unresponsive/frozen!

It was a pretty good site but like most of the old social site (myspace) it's gotten worse with age. However the scammers like so many of you mention are easy to spot once you go into their page or once they start to talk to you so I'm not worry about them. As for this site being racist like I saw in two comments that just sounds like right wing propaganda lol.

The worst site to sign onto is "Black Planet". Please if you sign on be very careful. I was on that site for less than a month before encountering a scammer from nigeria, but claimed he lived in the US but working in Nigeria. He is on 'scamvictimsunited'. Be careful. I reported him to black planet and his username is no longer there, but he is on the site under several different users using the same photos. How can "Black Planet" not know. So much for a trusted site.

You have people stealing your posts and pictures. Then they get very disrespectful when you call them on their $#*!, starts with the name calling etc. It's wrong as two left shoes to steal someone's posts and pictures and posts as if it's them

I have met actually 3 people on this site and it was great. Beware of scammers. Some users may want to lure you to other sites.
The site overall is OK. A little slow to load but it is not a nuisance.
Best of all, try to meet locals. Most long distance users are fake.
