o3, you have a very "exaggerated" attitude!

was that ok?

could you read that one?

care to try to do that again?

maybe NEXT time you will be more polite.

i have been noticing how defensive you are, 03! it is very interesting. we are not always on the attack and against you, but, you act like it.

one other thing and i will let this go....the above thing that i wrote and you used as a quote...maybe you can do me a favor and show me where there are punctuation and grammar errors. i did not see any. so, why would i fix it? seriously??

OK! thank you. i don't understand you all the time and i was just sharing my opinion. i do not know you very well. so, it is hard for me to know exactly what you are saying.

Chill out.
Everybody can date who they wanna date, and it's cool.


I must confess I haven't had the opportunity to date a black woman.
What am I missing?!

What? I haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about. I don't feel like any one is out to attack me. I wasn't aware that I was acting like people were out to get me. Please PM me about this occurrences. I'm curious now. And as for being defensive, I was simply pointing out that I don't see why you pointed out such an obvious fact.

And as for being rude. Well, you can take my request as you like. You post quite a bit and most of it's just all jumbled together, and as I would actually like to read your responses, it'd be a hell of a lot easier if it wasn't a jumbled mess. I could have easily never requested this of you and continued not to read your messages.

don't worry, biker. i am sure we can contain ourselves. i am just trying to understand someone.

i agree. i will pm you. i know you forget things. i apologize for stating it here. i was not sure if you were being defensive or not. i can't always tell by your opinions, either. i just do not know you well enough to gauge your tone.

now, as for why i wrote that. i wrote it because we have had some very bad issues pop up on this site and i was trying to point that out, it was not about race really, it was about gold diggers. it triggered memories. i wanted to make that statement because the most famous of them all is a black girl. and the other one who was searching for some suga daddies was a black girl. it did NOT smooth over well for some guys. i am not saying all guys, i am saying some. even though some of them may have already had those stereotypes in their head to begin with, those two girls did not help to bring a positive note or light on the few who feel that way. i have seen some of the guys say one thing when there are no black girls around, like a lot of people do about anyone, and then say they never said anything when confronted. and by confronted, i do not mean attacked (i do not want someone to get the wrong idea. that is a general statement).

now, on to breaking up paragraphs....
maybe we learned different paragraph structures. i learned to keep the main idea of one thought in the paragraph. then, if there is a new one to move it to the next paragraph. maybe you feel and think that some of my thoughts do not relate to the same ones in one paragraph. but, to me they do. also, i do not say away from writing long paragraphs. maybe, i just need to learn to move it along and on. i just wanted to let you know that i did not see that as a request. but, thank you. i will take it into consideration.

Ah, biker darling. You miss the point entirely.

We're not discussing whether or not people have the right to date some races and exclude others. I'm sure all of us agree unanimously that people are entitled to this right. What we're discussing goes beyond that - it deals with conditioning of attitudes/beliefs by parents/media. It deals with assumptions and stereotypes. It deals with issues that go beneath the surface ones. I think most of us would like to know what we're up against, and we won't if we don't discuss it.

I joined AL for this sole purpose - to find out why some Asian men seem uninterested in dating Black women. Some of it is preference, some of it is family pressure, some of it just plain racism. Either way, I'd like to be informed about the thoughts/attitudes of the individuals that fit in this category so I know how best to behave/interact with them.

Remember, not everyone has parents like mine or yours who will be accepting of our chosen mate - regardless of race.
