re: #329 sizzleRI

My mom was just telling me about another nurse she worked with who said something along the lines of, “I’m not racist, I just think everyone should stay with their own kind.” My mom has decided that she will no longer respond with anger. Now she just asked, but who would Halle Berry date? And since she’s in Tennessee she also used Harold Ford, Jr.

Because seriously, beyond the racism, its the stupidity that hurts. Does every African-American need to break down their racial make-up, and then only align themselves with the same demographics? There’s a dating website idea!

Well, that was basically the concept behind the ‘colored’ designation in South Africa, no?

Some one pointed out a while back that we think of Halle Berry dating a white man as ‘interracial’, but no one thinks of the Obama’s marriage like that, even though the percentages work out the same.

(Actually, I think the answer is that if you look like Halle Berry you can date whoever the hell you want to.)
