I asked her what she was looking for
She said a bunch of stuff
Then said
"I don't date blacks."

Now, this was before the digital photo,
The affordable webcam,
The exhaustive profile.
So I was mostly just a name
And words on a heavy monitor.

And I bristled.
This'll not stand.
And so I planned.

She had no reason,

Beyond "didn't like them",
So I gave her no reason to walk away.

And over chats became warm and light,
She said she liked me,

And over chats became hot and heavy,
She said she wanted me,

Whoever that was.

I found a photo of a handsome man.
"This is me", I said.
And pictured her racist face, slack,
Falling like unrolling scripture,
Having fallen for the "black"
In the picture.

She turned about and ceased to call.
As it transpired, with regret,
I never found out
If, as I suspect,
My plan had backfired,

I may have given her a reason after all.

Wow.
Me likes.
Very much.

Do it again.

This write you made here and its content,(your plan), was made and done in Malice of her first words to you,,SHE didn't date blacks!
Now being a man who has LIVED to not be or be around folks who HOLD prejudiced ideas or thoughts they have to express,,I find this unjust,,in its DOING,,as she gave you,,her HONEST answer, as to WHO and WHAT kind of woman she was from the start,,right?
So because she GAVE THAT HONESTY,,YOU,,FELT the need to make her pay a little through all of YOUR, mis-leading her,,and PLAYING HER,,and getting her to LIKE YOU,,through all your talks,,RIGHT?
So,,,who is the one with honesty and who is the one here with BULL,,,S**T,,,
The reason this hits a core with me,,is IF someone (THESE-DAYS)gives you their true thoughts about something,,,THEY ARE PUNISHED for giving THAT AWAY,,,so WE TEACH THEM,,(like YOU did here with HER) to LIE,,,,because NEXT-TIME,,she MIGHT NOT say THAT again,,and HIDE-IT,,and STILL FEEL THAT WAY INSIDE,,so she might innocently hurt some black dude in the future,,where as IF she HAD TOLD HIM what she told you,,right off,right up front,,then HE wouldn't have BEEN MIS-LEAD..?

To get more personal with me here,,I had written in my profile once that I only liked average to a few pounds extra women,,That I couldn't be involved with a really BIG GIRL,,as they did not excite me at all romantically,,because of a child incident that happen with me and a very BIG LADY,,anyway,,,this 'girl' DONE THIS TO ME,,,
But she played me on with a fake profile,and fake pics,and about a month of our lives and about 100 emails,,,,and I TO,,was finding her very much,,someone I could date and like,,,THEN,,,on X-mas eve here two years ago,,SHE told me the truth,,,and it was HER GIRLFRIEND who was a big girl and had put her up to this very cool game she played with me....Well,dude,,when THIS HAPPENS to you after a month of really trying to learn about someone and them you,,then find its all a freaking game,,,,THAT HURTS,,and ITS FKING WRONG,,for someone to do to another,,merely because THAT PERSON,,CANNOT RESPECT THE OTHER'S PERSONAL and very TRUTHFUL PREFRENCES....

SO WHAT?? DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO LIE TO YOU ABOUT WHO THEY ARE?
I mean come-on man,,IF a chick told you she was twenty and she was 60
would her TRUTH hurt you IF you were meeting her after a month or six months of chatting,,,HELL YES,,,why? Because SHE LIED TO GET YOU!
THIS is why so many damn people HIDE WHO THEY REALLY ARE,,,
Hey,,she was a lady who didn't date a black person,,so what?
There are MANY on here who not ONLY won't date Black,,THEY won't date ANY OTHER race,,,SO WHAT?
THATS THEM MAN,,LET THEM SAY THAT SHiiiiiiiiZT,and then YOU KNOW THEIR HEART and their real thoughts,,DON'T TRAIN PEOPLE TO LIE...
I have had MANY black girls tell ME THEY only date Black dudes,,,SO WHAT?
All you had to do was say,,oh,,well,,cool,,see ya,,,IF you were a Black dude,,,or a playful email telling her what she's missing,,lol, OR even,,wow,,I'm NOT a black dude and NOW,,I REALLY CAN'T STAND PEOPLE WHO ARE PREJUDICE..GOODBYE..BUT,,,to do THIS,,,is what makes the INTERNET SCARY for KNOWING SOMEONES TRUE SELF...
Because it MAKES PEOPLE HOLD THEIR TRUTHS INSIDE...until LATER,,,and THEN,,there went a week of talking and thinking,,instead of just KNOWING THAT at the start...
Hey,,,This is all a "me" thing,,and I respect the heck out of Soufiehere, and many other's might find this cool,,but as for me,,ITS a BIG PART of the problems with talking in TYPE...
I didn't write this to offend you, I wrote THIS for YOU TO MAYBE FEEL the other-side of your coin here.. Good luck with all you seek to find and welcome to this place many of us call home...
Friends here are hard to get,,but once you get-um,,you never want to lose them,,,,Have fun and I'll be looking forward to reading more of your writes here, cheers mate

I'm with Terry on this one.. I don't date black either but its just my preference and if a black man would ask I would tell him up front.. There are many that do but I don't think less of them..It's a personal preference...You have to be honest with people....

the best writes evoke strong emotion, very powerful.

enjoyed the piece
