Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this (so far?). I do appreciate it.

I am lucky to have her in my life, although I know that now she's married, friendships will take a somewhat lesser role as she's immersed in being a wife, a confidant, a partner, and a lover.


She waited 50 years. She gon' be ridin that ride a while. lol

I would imagine so. Hopefully he lives up to his reputation as a great lover, since he's French, and all.

Oddly, this is the second female friend I have that's married a real Frenchman. Go figure.

I feel the same way if I went to England. GAWD that accent! Aussie ranks a tad higher, but UK is closer.

You got me teary eyed.

What a wonderful story. You are both lucky to have each other.

The things I've learned throughout my life is that you don't have to be white to be racist. I've gotten it from everyone, and yes, even gay folks. It's horrible.

Seriously though, good friendships are precious and I'm glad you've found each other.

I can't imagine what the past 18 years would have been like without her. Even without the lessons on racism, her guidance has proved priceless. To pull a Prince line: Coincidence vs. Fate?

I have sexually been with a black woman, and a black man, yes. Also with Asian and Latino men. And I think this one guy had to be Greek or something close.


Interesting topic

Now could you please explain to me why racist/prejudice white folks hate minorities, but don't mind having sex with them?

While you're at it, explain why some gay folks are racist. I had a gay, Christian, boss screw me over because he didn't like black people. What's up with that?

It's simple, attraction is more powerful than prejudice. Think of the misogynist who hates women. They scare him cuz he doesn’t know what they want and feels like he hasn’t been treated fairly by them in the past. Does that mean he would never sleep with a woman if given the chance?
Plus to a man having sex with a woman isn’t necessarily about positive feelings, it might be about dominance or power. Same with a racist. He might get a little kick out of sleeping with black women so he can feel like he got ‘revenge’ against the black guys for sleeping with white women. Maybe even he’s intimidated by black men so to be with a black woman is like having his own masculinity affirmed.
