Coming from a traditional southern black family, my background is very old school and this bothers me somewhat considering I'm something of the odd man out among family members. So things that were once considered taboo by them I dont really blink an eye at. A good example of this:
just the other day my mother called me a week or so ago and said on the phone something to the effect "Did you know that your cousin was pregnant by some white man that she's been dating who works in a grocery store?" the tone of voice when she asked this question was something of awkward revolt, shock, and morbid curiosity as if the girl had just had sex with a string of men all at once and suddenly became pregnant with a cluster of mixed babies.
i casually replied that it didnt shock me as both her and her sister have always had the hots for white guys since high school. So i just shrugged it off. this simply garnered a response of "oh" and the conversation ended there.
I dont really have any qualms at all about dating outside my race. Its my family's views that ultimately would turn it into a 3 ring circus though which is actually somewhat depressing.
How ya doing, buddy?
