Something New?

Sanaa Lathan starred a couple of years ago in the film "Something New."
Simon Baker (he's so hot) co-starred as her love interest.
A quick synopsis is that a professional black woman meets a white landscaper, and they find love- after she constantly resists b/c she thinks she is betraying her blackness.
Whatever.

It brings me back again to the whole argument of when black women get caught up in the idea that they don't deserve to date anyone, unless he looks like Wesley Snipes or Denzel Washington.

Bleech.

Wake-up, and realize that this is all a game. A friend told me how she was with her white boyfriend, and a random black guy started yelling at him, "you know you're not going to marry her!"

Please, like random black guy is going to marry her. Marriage rates among black women suck, and there are black men out there who would be quicker to impregnate a black woman (and ditch her behind) then to go through the whole Martha Stewart's wedding magazine.

I dated a black guy for three years, and on paper we should have been married. However, I quickly realized that he was not marriage material. I guess I was attracted to him because he had no kids, and he had a job. However in the end, these should not be leading prerequisites for dating someone. We truly had nothing in common, except the exact same complection.

My advice is always this, love who you want to love. Life is too short for compromise.
