Topic	"I Never Meant To Marry A Black Man"
Solar_Crimson 04/13/18 10:29:41 PM #32:	Asherlee10 posted... I hate that this exists and I experienced some of it first hand in Mississippi while I was there for college. One of my best friends was a black on the track team. I'd known him prior to college because of soccer (he is/was an all-around athlete). Naturally, he and I hung out all the time throughout college. I've lost count how many times I was told by 'peers' that I shouldn't hang out with black guys because it would ruin my 'reputation.' Some people assumed we were dating and I was told that my parents would never approve. It was amazing to me that people, often times who I did not know, would just come up to me and say something like that as if it was normal and they were doing me some sort of favor. I guess they felt some inane desire to "save" you or something, even though as you said, they didn't know you or him. I know that it's Mississippi, but still. Vol2tex posted... Indeed. They wouldn't even believe my brother when he said he was working in trading (stock market), they literally told her that my brother was scamming her. Really sad to think about. Yep. Even a Black doctor or lawyer or another college-educated Black man making six figures wouldn't be good enough in their eyes. It's like, as a Black man, what else can you do? Even though I personally would prefer to date and marry an Asian woman, the family issue on her end is something that I know may come up. Sometimes, I wonder if putting myself and her through that would be worth it, especially if they threaten to disown her. --- Be wary of boarding the hype train, lest you end up on the ruse cruise... - nanobuilder (r/nintendo) http://backloggery.com/SolarCrimson <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:899619830] in "I Ne...
