DAA>} DAA>I agree with you.  Black people should leave White people alone!  In
DAA>} DAA>Gay community, you see White couples and you see Mixed couples.  Blac
DAA>} DAA>ones are VERY rare.
DAA>}
DAA>} I can't believe this. Why's that?

DAA>"White Is Right" and "Black, Get Back".  That's why.

That is not good enough! It sounds so settled and accepted as a
fact. This is definitively not my cup of tea. Wouldn't you like to
change that for a better world? I try to do my part to that.

DAA>I don't know what you look like.  If you look Black, then you ARE Black.

Not. Whenever I meet a Black on the street, he'll greet me with the
brother thing. As he realizes, that I do not belong to AfAm's, socially,
he retires and subtly changes his attitude towards me. Just like a group
of men, when a woman enters the room. There is the same subtle change in
the atmosphere. Besides, I do not like being categorized or stereotyped
by others. I grew up in Germany, so you cannot apply your American
standards to me. You do have to differentiate more.

DAA>} There are just too many cute white guys around.

DAA>Then why mess aroung with *shudders* Black Men?  You're proving my point.

I didn't say there were not too many cute black guys around. Gosh, some
are gorgeous and have a beauty, that a white man never ever can reach.
Same is true IMHO for some black woman. When I stroll through the
mall, it is sometimes breath-taking. Remember, contact with other
Blacks is new to me. But, whites can be beautiful in a different way
than blacks, in a form, that no black has. Again, I recommend "White
boys, Black boys" form the musical "Hair". I'm glad that I can unbiassed
appreciate the different beauty of both races.

DAA>} DAA>Why do you think that is?  It's because some of us Blacks still
DAA>} DAA>think that "White Is Right" and "Black, Get Back".  It's the truth!
DAA>}
DAA>} What is the truth here? Was that a Freudian slip?

DAA>No slip.  Why do you think that so many successful Black Men flock to white
DAA>women?

Because they see it as sign that they have "made it". BUT, there are
also other Blacks dating Whites (and vice versa), where this does not
apply. LOVE is the reason (revolutionary concept, as Jones posted it
earlier, isn't it?) The slip I meant, was "White is right" and "Black,
get back" directly followed by "It's the truth"

DAA>} DAA>I'm proud to be Black
DAA>}
DAA>} Why? You happen to be black, you are in no way responsible for that, nor
DAA>} did you achieve that. You can be proud of your own achievements, but not
DAA>} of something which you had nothing to do with. Same as being proud of
DAA>} being gay. I could go for "A proud Black" or "A proud Gay"! This is
DAA>} something different. Don't mix self-esteem with skin color, sexual
DAA>} orientation, nation, nose shape or dick size!

DAA>No, dear.  Just because you're Black doesn't mean you're automatically prou
DAA>be Black.  Some Blacks will hate themselves and all
DAA>their plasticsurgery u

DAA>the day they die.  I love myself as a proud Black Gay man.  It wasn't alway
DAA>that way.

Glad to hear that. Really, I'm glad, that you are proud of yourself. But
I question the reason. Maybe we mean the same thing. I meant first to
accept oneself with all the goodies and quirks, then to be proud of his
own achievements. As you and I said "a proud Black Gay man", not "a
Black Gay man, who is proud for that reason".

DAA>} DAA>Donald - Nigger Stompin' African
DAA>}              ^^^^^^
DAA>No inferiority complex here, Carl.  For those who do not understand the ter
DAA>"Nigger Stompin' African", listen to the song "People Everyday" by Arrested
DAA>Development (the unedited version).

Ummm, I have to pass completely (there it is, my language impairment).
English is not my native language, so I cannot get, what you mean
exactly. Please explain it to me. BTA, have to get that CD anyway :-)

DAA>We have to communicate.  That's the only way we'll come to understand one
DAA>another.  If we don't, will Black Unity every be realized?

Would it be too bold to put "Human Unity" instead? (Just trying...)

DAA>Donald - Nigger Stompin' African!

greetinx, Carl.
