<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> <span style="color: #CC66CC">I was considered one of the most "afrocentric sistas" in my college, which was made up of only about 3% black students, and if someone had told me back then, that I would have ended up dating and now getting closer and closer to a white man, I would have "stomped" them...on the spot.
Well here I am over 10 years later, dating a white man. I too am shocked at this choice as it had never entered my psyche as I am huge on building the foundation, i.e. the Black Family. I would have sacrificed everything, then, for my "brotha" and would have never thought I'd be on the side of the fence where I could be considered a sell-out. I won't bore you with a lame attempt to justify my choice, instead, I will say the following. You'd have to be living under a rock for the last 20 years, if you have not noticed the demise in black couples due to the decrease in the number of "black men" who are seeking to date/marry and spend their free time with successful black women. I met my current boyfriend through a mutual friend and we have managed to build a foundation for our friendship from combining our history, our stories, our experiences by applying a realistic approach that I have never before experienced...due to the myriad of obstacles created by the powers-that-be as well as those we create ourselves. There are many reasons why I had not experienced that desire to let go and be "free" in planning, living and enjoying past relationships, albeit being aware of its importance, including an excessive concentration and reproduction of ongoing frustration, depression or any other soul-destroying activity brought on by oppression.
I do not feel the need to justify my decision of choice to my friends or family, however, I do feel a responsibility to share with them the joy that I feel deep within, since I have decided to let go and feel, deeply and without exception, love and being able to reciprocate openly and honestly while shedding the weight of unnecessary hangups. I invite anyone who find themselves by themselves to explore beyond the barriers of the world and engage the mind, the soul and the heart. Live a little...more!
