Pep Talks
I had a talk with myself the other day. I realize I don’t give myself enough credit at times. I really am pretty. Not a cry for attention, but seriously, to look at where I once was with my esteem to how far I’ve come. Taking selfies and I smile. I don’t need ppl to compliment me to feel great about how I look. That’s an accomplishment. I’ve been waiting for this day.
Him: I don’t date black women. It’s just a preference.
Me: Based on what?
Him: Nothing, it’s just how I feel.
Me: Impossible, deliberate aversions come from somewhere.
Him: Its just a preference, that’s all.
Me: No, a preference is preferring broccoli to asparagus. You can say that because asparagus will always taste the same, even when prepared differently.
Him: And?
Me: And we’re not always the same at all. There are hundreds of millions of us and we’re each completely different from the next. If an employer said not hiring Black people was a preference would you agree?
Him: No, but that’s based on stereotypes.
Me: … And what is yours based on, facts?

Love who you want, I don’t care, but please don’t disguise legitimate issues with a relationship.
