Martin Luther King Day


Today is Martin Luther King Day and its only proper that I dive into this topic, remember his speech, "I have a Dream", would you like for me to refresh your memory. My mother always said that I "can baffle 'em with brilliance and fool 'em with bs." Well,this will be the raw, uncut version of that topic some people don't like to talk about, some do not like to discuss, and many are ashamed of their own thoughts about. Let's face it, we are a long way from where we were in race relations and all but we are alot farther from where we should be.

I think that it will be interesting to generate some ideas, comments, and whatever else I get flowing out of my mind into my fingertips, cant promise that it will be good. Do remember my post back in December, the disclaimer, if not go and take a look at it.
But once I figure out a good place to start, or rather map out properly, where and how I want to take this blog, and where I want to take you and also how far. I do not want to entirely focus on dating white men, how to date black women, interracial dating, dating outside your race, dating other ethnicities, cant give too many doses of that, even I may get sick. Once you totally focus on something, you seem to be labeled to that one area. And that is something that I DO Not want!
Maybe I will have the cajones to tell alot in one day, I do have several posts saved as drafts to publish over time, remember I am back in college and commuting over-way over an hour to campus.But thou asketh, so thou shalt receive.In more ways that one! Till another post, Muah!

to speed this up

I have dated interracially for almost 12 years. At first it was for the sole purpose of the scarce creation of guys who were untarnished by my peers and friends. And now, it is an attraction. What attraction you may ask? I can't explain that. I truly can't. You may like your steak rare, and I may prefer mine well done. I am who I am. I have dated 3 black men in the past 12 years. None of them lasted too long. I have many black male friends, but the attraction is lacking for a reason I can't explain. My family accepts this, my nephew is biracial, I have cousins who are biracial. Everyone loves everyone. And if they do have a problem with it, most of us dont' care or will lose no sleep over it.
When I went back to my parent's hometown--MS/TN..Do people stare? If they do, I don't notice. And the one's that do, most of the time they smile. What they're thinking? I have no idea. Black women dating white men is starting to become a growing popularity, something that makes people do a double take. But why? We see a black man with a white woman, do we have to look once and look again to make sure we saw what we think we saw? lol, I think it's quite funny myself. Society is changing, people are evolving, minds, culture, it doesn't stop just because we choose to not think about it.
