Actually, my name is a joke. It's a joke between some friends and me...it's sort of a satirical take on an idea my friends and I had on several issues, on several levels. One, we thought, what if the Disney monopoly got so bad that we had to buy our names from them...but could only use names that were in their movies, two, we were addressing physical stereotypes. My friend is Korean, but everyone always calls her Chinese, she's Mulan, me, I'm Korean and Black but people always assume I'm Native American, hence Pocahontas, with all of the false notions of who she was as a part of the satire...you could've messaged me to asked me about my name like some other folks have as opposed to trying to "call me out" on this board. So, what does my coice of name have to do with my opinion of interracial dating again?In the end, you look kind of silly because you tried to put it down, but didn't even know where I was coming from...nic try though...

Jesus was Black ya'll...no joke.

"Oh no, here comes that sun again. That means another day, without you my friend. And it hurts to look into the mirror at myself, and it hurts even more to have to be with somebody else.
And it's so hard to do, and so easy to say,
But sometimes, sometimes, you just have to walk away."

The worst Okayplayer mistake my friend ever made? I went with three of my friends to the Saturday Oakland Okayplayer show back in November. Anyway, we got separated into groups of two during the show, and after the show, we couldn't find each other, and after spending a weekend together, me and my sistas were a little testy anyway. Not finding each other directly after the show further aggravated the situation. So anyway, one of my friends was hella pissed, and decided to walk in front of all of us. On the way back to the car, she pushed through a group of brothas who were chillin' by the side of the theater, hella mad-doggin' folks, and one of the dudes (shorter, light-skinded) in an effort to cheer her up said, "Hey, smile!" She turned around and gave this dude the ugliest, most sarcastic smile in the world, and then kept walking. After walking in utter silence for a block, one of my other friends who watched the exchange said, "Why did you dis Scratch like that?"
