Mickey B: Disturbing Weekend

Damn,I had the most disturbing weekend. So, I've been interested in this half Chinese/White chick for a bit (who I won't mention). So, I let her know how I felt, and basically she wasn't interested, which was something I could deal with and didn't bother me. But then she kept talking and it basically came down to the fact that she couldn't date me because I'm Black. Her father is Chinese and he's racist against Blacks. Her brother is married to a black woman and her father disowned him. He doesn't even tell people that he has a son. So, she's afraid to lose her family and won't date a Black guy. She wouldn't even go on a date w/ me because of that fact. She told me she dated Black guys in the past and had problems w/ her family and for this reason she won't date a Black guy. I guess what went through my mind mostly was that this is 2007 and I was told that I couldn't do something because I'm Black.

I'm not racist at all. You know me. And it was like a big slap in the face. Blacks have been making some great positive steps this year. Two Black coaches in the Super Bowl, one black guy qualifying for a PBA Tournament (first time ever), and Obama for President. We have some great positive things to celebrate for Black History month this year. I'm not going to let what she said get me down. I'll never say anything bad about the Indian culture again because although I know how shady it is, and how the feel about Blacks, I would never want to be racist against any culture. So not only was it a disturbing weekend, but it was an eye-opener and a lesson well-learned.
