"Preference"

“Preference”



Well, I guess, I know now that it wasn’t my fault that we didn’t work out.

I could never be possessive of the qualities you see in him no doubt!

I have observed you a long time, watching brotha after brotha pass you by.

I didn’t understand what you were looking for until that white man caught your eye!

Love is blind so they say!

I hope you still love your black skin; because it isn’t going away!

I don’t mean to sound racist or closed-minded because that’s the furthest thing from my mind.

I’m just surprised that you parade someone unsightly to anyone with standards around like a prize!

I may sound like a hater just being jealous, but, I’m not, I’m just trying to “keep it real”!

If you were Janet Jackson, and I dissed you for Tammie Fay Baker….tell me how you’d feel!!!

I just ask that you use good judgement if you are only going to date someone white.

Don’t be soo “Blinded” by love that you lose sight, just because they’re white shouldn’t automatically equate to

right!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

No offense intended to anyone who isn't African American, but I hate it when people only date outside their race, and to make matters worse when they'd diss someone of great quality/compatibility and go bonkers for someomne of less stature just because they're not black.
