I have never been so racially obcessed until I came to this country, I truly never gave a fuck before coming here. In engerland I messed with Nubians and crackas and the shades in between but at the same time I was not with a Nubian or a cracka, I was with (insert name here).

Since coming here I see a whole new perspective on things that I never knew existed - people actually care and obcess over colour lines. Crikey, I have had to relearn a lot of shit.

So this is my dilema - I truly do not care what colour/race/nationality you identify with, however I see you all do and so I have to become aware of it in order to not be ignorant to others opinions and feelings. Hypothetical situation for you - I love a Nubian brother, not becuase he is Nubian but because I love him. He Loves my cracka self not because he is in denial of his Nubian self but because I make him laugh and all those other things that people love me for. Do I deny my feelings so that I do not piss off other Nubian sista's and brotha's or do I follow my heart and risk the consequences?

Remember that I do not think like the american does in regards to race and answer the question. Do I betray myself to not hurt someone I Love, (and that someone is you) or do I Love someone and deal with the ramifications of that Love being misunderstood as an economic/social/cultural boost for either party?

Just wondering...

Peace,

Tank
