I posted this information because I am a fan of most of the artists performing in my hometown this weekend. What you and your crew think about my level of "blackness" does not matter to me.

Please get over the fact that I choose to remain neutral and not get caught up in racebaiting and flaming with you and you little friends.

How can you be considered to be neutral when you have in the past stated that you do not find black men attractive? You did not refer to personality, but race. That sounds like self-hatred to me.

I stand corrected. You said you do not want to date any black men, that you exclusively date white men. While that is not the same thing as saying you do not find black men attractive, it does speak to the same sentiment.

Well, I guess it goes to show that people can change as I have found a very lovely man, who happens to be black, to date. I have my reasons for my dating preferences, but, what the fuck do I care what a person on a website with three or four different online screennames thinks about those reasons. As far as finding black men attractive, just as you nothing else better to do, having dug up the above thread on me, I am sure you could dig up more where I have drooled over at least one man of color, namely Prince. This section of this site has been pretty successful in steering away from the hate-filled garbage of the P&R and General Discussion forums, so I apologize to you guys for the mess this thread has become. As for you, whoever you are, in the future I would appreciate if you would leave me the fuck alone.

woot! yay! I'm very happy for you that you were able to overcome your previous unwillingness to date black men, to find such happiness.

edited out of respect for the intended purpose of this forum. smile
