I can say this much, my aunt got remarried a couple of years ago. She has always told me she would never marry a man with at least a college education. She has her masters.

And who she married? A man who only has a third grade education and he provides for her! bought her a house and everything. So it has to do with the person. If he or she is sound. But I can tell you from my personal experience it never turned out so good. Its even harder when I try to better myself and the man can not get with the program. First thing out of his mouth is, "What you think you are white?" or "If I wanted a white girl, I would have gotten with one."

I guess my question is, when did black equate to ghetto and no education?

Maybe I got off the subject but it was burning inside of me.

This is what I want to know also.

This bugs me because all of my life people have been saying that I want to be white , because of my upbrining and the way that I speak.

I was raised comfortably, but not spoiled. My Dad has a blue collar job and make great $$ and very intelligent, my mother got her degree a few years back but is/was one of the senior managers in her department for her company worked her way up the ladder and is remarried to a man who has a college degree and in managerment for the county.

Me...I don't have a degree yet....(residency credits only) but at this point in my life and what I want to do with it, I don't think I need one. I love school and will perhaps go back and finish it one day. So I guess I would be in the middle?

As long as the person I'm dating doesn't have a problem with my background, tastes and education level, I don't see a problem.

If we can have intelligent, insightful conversations; have the same or mutual goals, likes and dislikes in life. Have no problems with social obligations on either side and feel comfortable in those situations. We can take care of each other. Sign him up right away.
