Not giving up but living life. If at some point along the way I fall for a Black guy then so be it but I am not limiting my options when I don't even know what's coming my way.

You'll never hear me say this. What other people do or choose is not for me to judge.

I think many Black people have not yet come to grips with the consequences of the middle passage. Our souls we're damaged, we lost a great deal, both on the African soil and in the West. I allow myself to hope for a day when the choices people make are for the betterment of their families and communities but seeing how the rift between the lower income and higher income widens and how fragmented our folks are it'll be a miracle if I can even find the spiritual partner I seek. I am always optimistic...
