Considering my up bringing, where it is "I'm not black enough" but "i'll never be white" yeah I'm going to take somethings personal. If I were to interact with all 7 billion people, that would make sense. But I can't so the interactions that I do experience are 100% relative to my life. Date who you like. If who you like happens not be be black people, cruddy, but do you. I get if you have dated some one of a certain race, have a bad experience, and so you do not go out your way to date another. I stray away from people who remind me of an abusive ex. I'm not saying don't date your own race, I'm just saying life has a lot to offer, don't deny yourself experiences because you assume you know someone bc of the culture they may or may not carry.
