Another example would be when Nicole found out that her date was a Republican and voted for Bush. That date was over before HE knew it. I don't think that Malik said or did anything so offensive that she would have to squash their potential friendship. Maybe Malik is not the type of man she wants to become romantically involved in, but to tell Malik "I don't like you anymore" and "I don't respect you" -- those were pretty strong words. She is the one that concocted the preconceived notions about Malik based on his appearance (and it is obvious how she obsesses over appearance).

That's what I was thinking...how are you going to tell Malik not to tell anyone the details of their conversation (which, IMO, is absurd b/c it's not like she is freinds with Kevin, and anyway, friends talk to theach other in order to get through their problems)...She's a hypocrite...And she made herself look really bad by acting that was to Malik
and to Kevin--who shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place, but it wasn't necessarily his fault b/c Coral opened her big mouth, which led to Kevin opening his)...Miss Nicole should know better, since she's
from the 'Hood than to poooint her fingers in anyone's face...I'm sorry, but I would've been
thisclose to hurting her...she knows better...Well, by seeing her confessional at least she knows she handled the situation badly...But she needs to realize that she can't force her beliefs on other people...And also that what a person wears does not define their level of blackness...What if we assumed she was a drag queen--which is what I first thought when I saw her on the Casting Special--just b/c she wears SOOOO MUCHHHH MAKEUPPPP????
Question: How does everyone feel about her never dating a white man, when she is biracial? Her attitude towards whites is rather iffy, being that she's mixed...It's like she is trying to erase and deny half of what and who she is...
