so, my mom has some real issues with me dating a black guy. i don't really know what its all about, but it really upsets me. especially since this guy i like is black, and she is being all weird about it.
of course, she isn't the one who makes the call, but i also feel like other family members have issues with this. seriously, we are in year 2007. im not even completely wihite, and now with my tan i totally look like a mexican. what is the deal with this backwards attitude???
im finding myself attracted less and less to white guys. sorry, whiteys, but white just gets boring for me.
this new guy said he'd never experienced racism until he moved here a while ago. he said that in europe, people's attitudes toward race and beauty are completely different. i just don't understand why skin color is so important.
would it be better for me to date some asshole and have people approve just because he isn't ethnic? or date someone i really like, no matter what race they are.
i feel like this shouldn't be a controversial issue anymore, but it seems like it is? why? i don't get it.
the point here is. i don't really care if people have issues with it. i will date whomever i choose.

hey peepsbasically craigslist is a hot spot for losers and, well, im not interested in anybody there. but boy, there sure do like me. anyways, i think there is this guy who wants to take me out. someone i met in person, but you know, i just don't know.
i feel like i don't want to bother if they aren't like super great and everything. and lets face it, how many super great people are there really? not many. exactly.
ok. onto more important things. the hiking is going really well. its amazing how just a few weeks of exercise really gets your body going. by the end of the week, im going to be ready for something more challenging. which is pretty exciting, because i am determined now to get into shape. hell, i aint got much else to do.
I've been hitting up the library a lot, and I've gotten back into reading. and working on the tan.
i am now almost ready to be an official stick shift driver. after many stalls in intersections, blood, sweat, and tears.
i like the weather here. but nys really has a much better state gov system. a lot of people here are just strange and backwards thinking. its kinda getting to me...

Decades ago, when Californians with too much money and too much free time wanted to work on themselves they would go into little dessert towns like Taos. So, all this work you are getting done, reading a lot, hiking a crazy amount, tanning, learning to drive stick, fits in nicely with your desert dwelling. Glad to hear you are doing well despite the craigslist Neanderthals trying to club you over the head and drag you back to their creepy caves.

dear people who dont call me backCategory: communication
now, im not gonna name names, there would be too many.
but, why don't ya'll call me back bitches? you are all worthless assholes.
thanx.
do we really live in that kind of world now, where are too fucking lazy too call the people we "supposedly" care about???
what is the issue here???
(e:pau) , you are exempt, because you never call and it could almost be considered a personality trait of yours.
the rest of you are going to die a slow lonely death. or something like that.
one last thing. would you go on a date with someone you "met" on craigslist?
and, go see die hard.
that's all.

So never used the Craig's List thing so I can't really say anything about that. I have heard a rumor of some girls (not you of course) who where escort/hookers/Prostutes and got busted for it. But I think going to see Die Hard on a date would be awesome. Granted It isn't really a good way to meet someone since you can't talk to them during the the movie but eating before or after might be a good idea.

Depends on if you posted or are answering. If you're answering that I'd say Yes, since there must have been something that triggered a response from you. If he's answering then use caution, CL is troll heaven or at least gentile pic heaven!!!

quick recap of the daystarted my job.
seems pretty sweet.
um, can't drive stick. might very likely kill someone.
radio shack tried to charge me $20 for a f'in usb cord for my camera. im buying that shit on ebay.
headache that won't cease, combined with stomachache.
going to force myself to hike in the heat. apparently im going to need to be able to bounce a quarter off my ass/all body parts.
life without friends is kinda boring/i drink way less.
i have fallen in love with t.v. i love you t.v.!!!!!
started reading again. yay for the library.
ok. going to hike. hopefully i don't fall down again today...
oh, and my mother said "fuck" several times during the driving lesson last night, and i have been laughing out loud about it all day. poor car :O(

Who can say how our desires form. There is a small demand for videos with titles like 'lactating grannies' and 'Raunchy Eskimo Pie' what makes someone attracted to such things is beyond me. So, unless you in fact harbor some sort of racism for white folk, I wouldn't say your desire for a non-white partner is inherently racist, just part of that bewildering array of desires.
But good luck with the family. For my first boyfriend, I was the first to meet his mother. She had so many issues with her first born son being gay, but after meeting me and seeing I was a person and not some swishing gay archetype she became much more accepting. So, maybe, if things get serious (if they already aren't) meeting this guy could help.
"i just like guys who aren't (white)" That's racism. If you can prioritize how much you'll like a man based on the color of their skin, It shouldn't surprise/hurt you that your mother is doing the same thing.
my cousin dated a black guy when she was younger, and the family was totally against it for years. Eventually he ended up robbing her fathers house, and everyone was like, "we told you so". Had it been a white guy, maybe they would have given her the sympathy she needed and deserved... he screwed her over more. assholes are assholes no matter what color. So goes the same for kind, loving people. Love knows no color. Unfortunately, i don't see the color barrier going away any time soon. I think our generation has broken it down a whole lot, but there will always be people out there searching for something to separate themselves from others...Follow your own heart. I wish you the best.
Exactly, Z.
hey now. i am not racist against white guys. recently, i just like guys who aren't.
The racial thing is everywhere. My ex is an african american and we'd be in Sweet Tooth and get dirty looks. Do what is good for you and the hell with everybody else.
Sorry. She's just telling the truth. White guys are pretty lame. If we didn't run the world nobody would like us at all.
I was totally with you until you said all white men were boring assholes without ethnicity. Now _I'm_ experiencing racism. WTF? I thought that in 2007 we were supposed to be more enlightened than that. <-:

Don't expect even your family to see the world the same way you do. The bottom line is if you are dating a black dude it's their problem if they can't handle it. Of course, then again, your family can also make your life very difficult.
Me, I pretty much am attracted to tall, thin, blonde chicks, which as a Swedish dude should come as no surprise. There really isn't any reason to come down from that, although a latina would be really nice. A black girl would be nice too, although I'm definitely way too stereotypically white for a black girl to be down with hit probably.
