I believe that Nicole has a lot of emotional baggage to deal with from her own past, especially being a person of a multi-cultural background. Nicole has continually said to Malik "You let me down as a brother." She had expectations that she and Malik were going to automatically because they share a common racial background, which is normal. However, Nicole was in the wrong when she expected Malik to be the so-called "epitome" of a stong Black man simply because he sports an afro, listens to Marley, and has posters of Garvey and Malcolm X, yet his 'flaw' is that he dates outside his race. I agree with Malik on the fact that Nicole is too judgemental and she shouldn't put Malik in such a high position, however noble and flattering, it's wrong.
