For one of the better-thought out posts on this thread.<P>You summed up the debate real well.<P>I didn't know some people date exclusively out of their race. If they do that conciously, that is some fucked up racism. Even if they do it unconciously, they need to look at themselves in the mirror.<P>My dating a white girl doesn't stop me from having heated debate with her about what it is to be black, and how blacks should respond to this racism. Representing your race and mixing with other people are not mutually exclusive, like repping hip hop and mixing it with other forms of black or non-black music are not mutually exclusive.<P>AIM: mke1978<P>"L'actualité régionale: c'est vous qui la vivez, c'est nous qui en vivons"<BR>In English:<BR>"Local news: you live it, we live off it"<BR>- Jules-Edouard Moustic, 20H20<P>"I'm spittin' lies/But she's none the wise"<BR> - Roots Manuva (check the fantastic album "Brand New Second Hand")<P><P>
