Maybe I'm being extra sensitive but it just makes me sick to see things like that and I may be reading too much into this but I wonder if they even like black people in general.

I don't feel you are extra sensitive. I read both of the ladies comments as well and what I will never understand is how do you look at your black face in the mirror, but refuse to give your mirror image, a black man, a chance? It's like partially denying a part of yourself. An episode of Good Fences maybe? I don't knock anyone for dating outside of their race. I say love who loves you, but at least give your race a try before you just dismiss the issue. I couldn't say I would never date a black man when a black man created me. Maybe having the father that I had developed my appreciation for black men. Well I guess preferences make the world go round. I ain't mad at them though cause I love me some black brothas, ain't nothing finer, but I don't and never will understand where they are coming from.
