It appears as though he is asking for sympathy and acceptance.
I honestly think it's only natural to feel insecure as a woman, when the majority of the men in your racial group strongly prefer non black women.
Well, interracial marriage statistics would prove this statement false. If I recall correctly, only 19 or 20 percent marry out, that leaves about 80 percent of the AA population that doesn't. Eighty Percent...
I don't know about that, as interracial marriages between whites and blacks were at only 17% or so of all marriages involving a black spouse in 2010, and (surprisingly to me) the ratio of black male-white female marriage to white male-black female marriage was 181:100.

Less than 36% of blacks married in 2013 and a quarter of those marriages were between white women and black men.
Marriage rates between white men and black women may be growing, but they account for less than 1% of all marriages in the U.S.

Laveta BoydMr. Powell, she definitely has some admixture. I have relatives who do not have the same admixture as myself and they look nothing like me. They look like you. Like · Reply · 2 · Aug 4, 2015 11:58pm

I was thinking the same thing. Just another dark skinned Black guy with a light skinned racially ambiguous wife/girlfriend. Very stereotypical actually. Probably 60% to 70% of so called "Black" marriages look like this. Brown paper bag "love" dynamics. LMAO. May Black people choke on our own hypocrisy. Like · Reply · 5 · Aug 4, 2015 10:16pm
What should you read at a slam? The kind of poetry that wins very often has
Striking, often outrageous or violent stories with interesting characters. Poetry slams often have poems about suicide, illness, drugs, crime, childhood abuse, discrimination, poverty, sex, and mental illness. But you'll find that different venues are associated with particular kinds of poetry — which is something to pay attention to as you shop for slams.
A strong, assertive first-person narrator (an I).
Immediately striking language — often ribald, vulgar, hip, or slang.
Lots of jokes and other humor.
Constant allusions to contemporary popular culture (movies, TV, music), social history, politics, and poetry.
An ending that leaves the audience with a concluding shock or joke.
Slams are slams. If you're going to get up in front of the crowd to read your poetry, you have to:
Like the rough-and-tumble of it, the theater, the zaniness.
Embrace the need to be a real actor, a ham if necessary.
