My GF (white) teaches 9th grade, the school is 3% white. Her only problem students
are Blk females that yell in her face over grades. A voice activated tape recorder took
care of that problem last year. The word got out! These youngsters would pull out the race card and she was to loving/smart to engage them.


If you two love each other, thats all that matters.

Hehe, sistas can make your life a living hell sometimes. Once they start doing the neck rolling thing, it's O-VAH! )

Anyway, I personally have never had to deal with it until JUST recently...my post from the other thread:

I'm black, my GF is white. Her grandmother absolutely DESPISES the fact that we are together. I've known Elizabeth for almost 6 years (we've been going out though for about 6 months) and I've known her grandmother for at least 5 years (met her on a few occasions before). She told my GF long ago that she was "AFRAID" that we two would "get together" because she saw how we acted around each other...
WTF B*(&@$!~~:|:|:|

She just burns me up!!!:|

Okay. If you're upset, dump her, problem solved. Or you could just be happy that you're black and not Asian. Cuz if you were Asian, she wouldn't be your GF right now. ;)

Not to make an excuse for them and all, but both of them came from a line of people that looked down on other races, but it ended with them and did not get passed off to any offspring. I would hazard a guess that the grandma lives or lived in a small town, they still tend to be a little backwards when it comes to social progression. Even when my wife and I go back home, we get a few stares. Not of ill intent, just surprise.

Next time you go see grandma, wear a fake fro, sport some nice shiny fake bling-bling, carry you a boom box, and tell her guess what grandma "You gonna be a great grandma. We are going to name him Shaka Zulu"

Warning try at your own risk, old lady might have a heart attack




No he is black. Hes a big Anita Baker fan. Havent met a white person who enjoys her music. Then again, ive never asked


How many black people do you know who enjoy listening to Sarah McLaughlin?


I'm mostly white and I enjoy old school rap, just not this 50 cent, Jay-Z crap. I also like Coltrane, Joshua Redman and Wynton Marsalis.

I was at the gym and apparently was on a machine that this black dude wanted. He was visibly agitated and asked me when I'd be done - I told him I had two more sets and he called me "honkey-tonk pale face". I started laughing because it was really funny to hear someone say that and I figured he was just playing. He wasn't playing.

Yes, last time I checked :) My dad can tolerate them too. But he's more of an R&B guy and he listens to Tom Joyner every morning (as does my mom). Both my mom and my dad have gotten to the point where they can recognize most of the artists that I listen to.

Thx for the info. I really thought "Slopes" were Koreans. My Army buddies stationed at Camp Redcloud in Korea said that's what some guys called the locals.

FoB's as far as I can recall, is another term for immigrant Filipinos. Also I've read on a bathroom stall in Subic Naval Base (when I was 7), that we were Brown Fecking Monkeys. Other than those two, I don't know any other derogatory terms for Flips. :D

White, Native American and Spanish

I remember seeing Brandon post a list of music that he like and other than some jazz and R&B, most of it was more mainstream whitish kind of music. That being said McLaughlin and Mayer might have some pipes, but so do alley cat's wailing at 2 o'clock in the morning, which I find slightly more tolerable.

"Whiteish music"?

80% of "hip-hop" music is purchased by Caucasians (just heard that figure on TV last week)

Regardless, who cares what the music is or who performs it. If I like it, I like it. I shouldn't have to explain myself.

Calm down dude, you can listen to whatever you like. But if you get in my car, no Sarah

:D

I think he means whiteish, by the musicians themselves or white music. Not those who buy rap music. We all know, if whites didnt buy rap, then these guys wouldnt have half as much loot as they do. Well only a select few anyways.

I'm a white dude and I dated a Korean woman for a while before I met my wife (Italian...well, really just American). Anyway, while I was dating her I remember getting looks of disgust occasionally from older rich white women especially on the west side of Los Angeles. We used to get the same looks from Koreans also. Go figure.

I don't care if people date or marry outside of their race. Hell, I would be quite the hypocrite if I did.

NFS4-Good luck with your relationship and try not to let other people's ignorant opinions bother you too much.

Sorry did not mean to offend, was just stating that you are anything but typical. I thought I was giving you kudo's for forming your own taste and not letting society influence you.
