I see nothing bragging about OP's post, just proud to have stepped out of the white world. And wanted to share. Amazing the comments here. So much sarcasm, so unnecessary, but a sign of the times more than ever. I hope OP is thick skin enough to overcome the nasties here. Making fun of others#@@@!!!!

Yeah, but ignore that advice about asking to touch her hair.

Ignore that.

Don't do it.

Don't.

Nope.

Ummm...<whispering> that was an obvious joke about how white people see and treat black people (i.e. as a curiosity in the case of that joke).

Geez, I keep forgetting how not obvious this stuff is to the average white person.

Just imagine though this thread ,as tough as it is, may spare the op from saying this irl and facing the backlash or negative reaction.

I think it's worth looking at in an overall sense, yes I do.

If you live in a pretty diverse place and all of your photos have all people of your same demographic, I think it's worth asking yourself if it's for a reason or maybe just chance.

Granted, OP stated it in a exaggerated way, and yes I would hope that they would never say that in real life. But it's still an anonymous forum.

For instance, if I were to ever seriously date a XXXXX woman, I might say on here "Wow, I'm dating a XXXXX woman. That happened."

And really, that would be my true feelings, because it is relatively rare for guys my race, maybe not as much anymore, but back before. I mean ... that's the way the world is.

But anyway, some people treat CD as an actual social marketplace and others use it to convey things they don't get to say in real life.

Kinda sounds like it did in this case lol.
