...the whole black unity ish and all, y'know? ...all i'm sayin' is i am SO tired of walking in the mall with my girlfriend, who just happens to be asian/white, and passing a group of black girls who give her the evil eye 'cause she's "stolen" me... that's bullshit. gawd, i keep repeating myself, but i think it applies... i, as a person, belong to no one... so i can't be "stolen"...<P>...i mean... with all the black unity... you're preachin' to the choir... no one wants to see black people get their ish t'gether more than me... really... but my dating a girl with whom i am greatly smitten has little or nothing to do with that... as long as i am dating for genuine affection rather than some self-hating need to become better or whatever... and all my questions were "assuming that one doesn't have one of those self-hating complexes"... i agree that people like that should do some serious self-evaluation... i'm just saying i'm not one of them, and on those grounds... i asked if you've then got a problem with my dating someone of another color...<P>...and you say "the black woman is a queen" as though i don't recognize that... dammit, don't tell me to fuckin' remember somethin' i already know... i swear, everyone says that shit like they're droppin' some goddam hidden knowledge and i'm their unlearned student... quit that shit! ...just because i happen to be dating a non-black girl doesn't mean i don't recognize the beauty in african american women... it just means that i'm not fuckin' stupid enough to limit such a huge portion of the population of potential mates simply because they've got differing amounts of melanin... i try my damndest to evaluate people on an individual basis...<BR>...sorry... it's just i hear that shit soooo often... every fuckin' day, y'know... i dunno... all i'm sayin' is that sometimes, stereotypes hold true, y'know? ...sometimes, black women do have a bit too much attitude to deal with on the daily... and some guys don' wanna put up with it... and maybe... just maybe... that brotha (or sista) you're so mad at for dating that white girl/boy is genuinely attracted to them and the only person really seriously considering race is YOU...<BR>-kevin<P>"without awareness, there is no life... only activity"
