My daughter's boyfriend this week is black. His mother is married to a white guy but he is from a previous marriage. I took the day off to take my daughter, her boyfriend, and a girl friend of hers to Phonecia's in O.S. for lunch yesterday. He, the boyfriend atm, mentioned that he was the only black person in the restaurant and I told him he was the token so it made him special. I sure got some strange looks though. He and I had gone to Wal-Mart before we picked the girls up for lunch and I got some strange looks there also. I wish I had the shirt "keep staring, I might do a trick".

sorry, lol @ 'this week'... how old is she?

I think it's sad. OS is where I experienced my first racial discrimination. I sat at the 'black' table my first day there and was quickly told (by the people sitting there) that I was not welcome...

She turned 14 yesterday. My daughter has more black friends than white I think. She wishes them happy Black history month and things like that. My husband, her stepdad doesn't take it too kindly. In fact he's really pissed off at the moment. Some of his family are really racists. So much for being good Catholic's huh? It causes tension in the marriage to say the least.

I can see that you're open-minded and tolerant, but did it occur to you that his parents might get pissed if he tells them you called him the "token"? I don't mean any offense to you at all, but words are touchy things in race relations....

None taken. No his parents are fine with it. I wouldn't have said it if he wouldn't have said it first. Even his dad came down from Vegas and wanted to "hook up" with me. I get along with his mom and his sister very well.

Speaking of catholic racists...

When I was in 6th grade at St Mary Catholic Elementary in the wonderful suburbs of Mobile. The Irish nuns used to beat the black boys when they "messed" with the white girls, saying out loud.
"Birds of a feather flock together, and you are NOT her color young man."

I think that some black women are hott.
But I can't see myself "with" them.
You do see more black women with white men than you used to.
I'll stick to petite white women. I am happily married to one.
I was raised old school when racial mixing was taught to be "wrong".
I still today think its funny when you see a huge assed blonde white woman with a skinny black man.
or when a yankee white man moves down south marries a black woman with 8 kids, and moves back up north...hee hee.
