Was she white??
And are you not attracted to black woman?
Yes she was white.
And yes I am attracted to black women, women are the most beautiful thing on this planet. I don't discriminate.
You just outed yourself by referencing a neighborhood.
Not the only neighborhood or street I been that is called that

The more I think about the LSAT, the more I think I bombed it sigh. Only because I know I started strong and ended strong... but I don't remember anything about LG or LR2.... sigh It all went so fast... I felt like I was just answering questions.... I refuse to go in the waiting thread.... and I can't afford to sit out this cycle if I did bomb it.... sigh

No negative thoughts Tosh. I am sure you did great and your best. That's all you can do is give 100 percent effort. Which I am sure you did.

Oh ok. As someone who has dated non-black more than once, I can safely say there isn't anything more scrumptious than a black man.
Imma leave it at that.
I hope you're the next Clair Huxtable.

If you do end up in DC, be careful of the DLing that goes down. I heard its a struggle to find a suitable black male there.
As a Black dude who's worked in Atlanta, I think this DL stuff is a bit over the top. I equate it to the educated black woman only wants a thug stereotype.
Uhm, no you did not just say this.
DLing is real, it happens and continues to happen. Stereotype my big toe. It has a lot to do with the stigma of being gay and black within our communities. Denial is an issue.

How high end we talking ??
Ive tried and love Indique and Onyc hair. Whatever you decide to get, make sure it's remy hair. Brazilian and Indian hair are the best.
Ive heard a lot about brazilian hair, is it worth the price?
It depends. What look are you going for? Straight? Wavy? Curly?
I find Brazilian best for wavy or straight. Indian is best for coily/curly/kinky. But the most important thing is finding a great weavologist. That's the hard part.
Also make sure to care for your hair underneath. So many are running around bald-headed trying to hide under a weave. Weaves shouldn't be used as a replacement but an enhancement or accessory, if you will. Black women can grow their hair long if we want to. Just minimize the heat usage, chemicals, deep condition on the regular and keep your ends moisturizer and tucked away, especially during the winters.

Did ya'll hear about the mess regarding Melphine Evans, a black female business executive who was fired from British Petroleum for wearing a dashiki and braids to work?
Apparently, such attire made her colleagues uncomfortable and she should have given warning to clothing "that should only be worn for black history month or cultural day events"...
I just can't. She is suing:

I didn't mean to offend. From my experiences in Atlanta it became extremely difficult to date because a lot of the sisters were afraid that they would be the one stuck with a DL brother. I know it happens, and that shit is wrong, but I don't think that it happens as much as folks make it out to happen.
But i definitely agree with you about it stemming from the attitudes in our community towards homosexuals.
