We have no control over how other people act. Vivien Send a noteboard - 23/03/2011 04:07:11 PM
We're looking at it from the point of view that this one man should be allowed to date who he wants, rather than being "forced" to stick with his own "kind." If Aeryn is uncomfortable that black women will be upset to see them together, that's one thing. It's another to expect that this man act in your pre-approved pattern because of favorable statistics.


All we can do is make decisions for ourselves.
