I Don't Date Outside of My Race...

I still think it was overstepping your bounds. While he is your brother, his relationship with his wife is NOT your business. When she is tired, she will handle herself. Your interfering is not going to help her. She has to stand up for herself. Why would she stand up for herself if she has you to rush in playing Captain Save'em?

One of my messageboard peeves is when a poster gets everything off their chest and then asks that any further replies be taken to PM. I don't roll like that. It's nothing personal, but if you wanted to take it to PM, you should have PM'd me, not spill your guts for the world to see and ask for a private 'rebuttal.'

I really think my relationship with my brother is irrelevant. Hey, maybe your family is different, mine does not work that way. Everyone's family operates differently. But I share this because I saw it that way and I had to rationalized it that way. And it still takes a lot of rationalization for me to function in my environment.

Look, I can keep telling you that I am not in the business of my brother's marriage--or divorce for that matter (another subject), but you will choose to believe what you want. Since you don't know me, and I don't really know you, then who cares? Really?

And really, I fail to share your level of thinking. I have been where you are and done all that and it is coming from a spiritual standpoint of operating in pain. the comments you made to me are not taking in vain, because I operate in the divine. I find your comments only dealing with absolutes. I know from several of my failed relationships with men, I couldn't deal with absolutes...

And I, too am married to a wonderful man of African descent.

So really, what purview do you have if no one can voice their opinion on a public message board only to have quite puerile reponses in this particular discussion?

Either we have a successful pluralistic discussion or we can allow this discussion to degenerate into the sublime. I'm about transcendance--moving beyond that issue to help people... Maybe I am not understanding where you are coming from?

And I could go on and on, that's why if you have any further suggestions, comments or questions, then hey, PM me or not, I've got plenty other things to do...

Whereas, you can continue with this topic for lockdown, because I know my Soror Mods also agree with me...
