Yesterday I was reading comments on an article written about interracial dating and marriages and the question was asked why so few white men approach Black women. And one of the answers that was given was the fact that nobody likes rejection, and seeing as it is known that most Black women in America prefer Black men, and absolutely would not date a white man, then most white men don't even bother with the task.
This, of course got me to thinking, have I been guilty of giving off said signs? I mean I think I have a good mixture of friends, but have I been guilty of giving off said preference?...I answered no, but then wondered why I still felt guilty after reading the remark....
Because I have been guilty of sticking so strongly to the Platonic Female ethos that I allowed many signs to pass me by.

The Divide in the Black Community
I have to admit it.
The past few days have been filled with more grief and sadness over the state of the people I call my own, more than any other time.And it all started when I went to a gossip site to find out more about a mixed high-school basketball player that I wrote about in my Post, "Happy New Year..". From there, my head has been spinning reading the comments of Black women and Black men tear each other to shreds over everything from looks, to dating preferences. I have even read blogs that while promoting the Black female in Interracial relationships, simultaneously puts down virtually every Black man at the same time.

Happy New YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Where's the Love?
So it's a New Year and tons of things have changed...and then again nothing has changed.
The SEC is still number one in College Football....but instead of Alabama, Auburn is #1
The Braves made the Playoffs, and lost in the first round...but coming up...no Bobby Cox
The Celtics are great and Shaq is on a playoff contending team....again
And just like clockwork race is still a factor in so many areas of our lives; sports, movies and dating.....as in Black women are still bitter about Black men choosing to date outside their race.
