This is perhaps my MOST CONTROVERSIAL blog yet, but I'm NOT gonnabe scared.
If Howard Stern can say what the fuck he feels & people love him for it, then so can I.

Someday, my child may come to me & say, "Daddy, a classmate asked me out on a date....
but, they're NOT Black.  So, I said 'maybe' b-cuz I wanna know what ya think about it first".

  Now, frankly....   I DON'T care if their classmate's blacker than The Stealth Bomber.
My kids AREN'T gonnabe allowed to date until they turn 16 [dances are the only exception] &
they'd better NOT try sneaking outta the house either [because their Daddy wrote the manual].

Nevertheless, I'll seize this moment as a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to discuss REALITY.
I WON'T lie to my children, by telling them that WE LIVE IN A COLOR BLIND SOCIETY
[no matter how many times they've heard this fallacy perpetuated by politicians & on TV].
I might even say, "If you think that racism's dead in America, then call & ask your Uncle Joe".

I'll start the convo by telling my kid "The 1st woman that EVER asked me out on a date,
was a White girl in my Physics class [who decided to ask me out in front of everybody].
She was nice, cute, blonde, smart, popular, an upperclassman, & also a cheerleader.
And then I started thinking, 'What'll the Black girls say about me??  They'll call me a SELLOUT'.
But, ya know what??  I went on the date anyway & NOT just because she was paying for it.
The truth is that love's hard enough to find as is & ya CAN'T live your life for OTHER people.  
If I died tomorrow & God asked me, 'Emery, did you love ALL people equally'....
could I truly say YES, if I'd let race affect my willingness to go on a date or make friends????
For this reason, I didn't allow hatred to influence my heart, decided to go, & I DON'T regret it.
I knew that she COULDN'T erase the pain that racism had inflicted on my life being Black.
But, NOT even a Black woman has the power to do that either.  So, I went on the date". 

After saying this, I'll offer my kid the following bits of advice about INTERRACIAL DATING
[some things I might leave out though, because they're sexually explicit &
once again, YES BLACK WOMEN, my wife-to-be is a STRONG BLACK WOMAN....
she's also ahelluvalot FEISTIER & MORE OPINIONATED than ANYBODY I've ever met]:

1.  Do It For The Right Reasons
"I've gotta know what it's like to sleep with a White person" ISN'T a good reason....
especially when there's no guarantee that the one you pick's gonnabe good in bed.

"Black men dunno how to treat Black women" ISN'T a good reason either....
DON'T EVER make the mistake of believing that White men DON'T beat women too.
Assholes come in EVERY color, but the ones in your race are easier to spot.

If you're doing it for ANY reason OTHER than "I'm open-minded"....   then, YOU'RE WRONG.
Don't let ANGER be your motivation [because whoever you're angry @ still WON'T want you].
Also, don't date outta your race just because your ex said they'll NEVER touch you if ya do it.

If for some reason, you encounter a streak of BAD LUCK when dealing with your own....
then, the problem is YOU going after people of bad character.  Accept responsibility,
instead of blaming everybody else for the shortcomings that you've brought upon yourself.
Toads come in EVERY color & you've gotta kiss alotta them just to find one that's ROYALTY.
Likewise, there are different kindsa sharks, but THEY ALL BITE [except the Whale Sharks]. 


2.  People Are People
My son better NEVER come telling me ANYTHING about Black women's attitudes....
the truth is that their attitudes are NO MORE STANK than those of women from other cultures.
Only a bitch ass nigga with NO HEART [as in guts] complains about Black women's attitudes.
So, man the fuck up & get some GAME!!!!   But, hell, my son shouldn't have that problem.

Black, White, Asian, & Latino women are ALL LOOKING FOR THE SAME THING in the end.
You've got some that wanna GOOD man & then, there's some that only go after IDIOTS....
the ratio DOESN'T change, when you date other races.

And when it comes to men, 99.9% of em' ALL want pussy anyway....
Black dick looks for pussy just as much as White dick does.
Men [in general] just WALK ON EGG SHELLS around women of other races &
women are so caught-up in being desired by someone of another race that they DON'T
even notice when game's being run on them [it's like they've got blinders on].


3.  Don't Believe The Stereotype Hype
Every Black man DOESN'T have a big dick....
hell, my wife-to-be is ALWAYS laughing about how women assume that BUFF guys
are the ones packing [she often says, "If you watch enough porn, then you'll notice that
the muscle heads dicks are SMALL while the skinny guys are the ones packing 12 inches....
I guess God had to put their size somewhere"].

Every White woman DOESN'T give good head....   hell, some DON'T suck dick @ all.
Also, I've known Jewish guys that told me, "Jewish girls give the best head"....
but, when I asked if they'd dated outta their race, NONE OF THEM EVER HAD.
That's sorta like saying California wines are the best, when you've NEVER tasted French.

Every Asian girl DOESN'T have a tight coochie....   shit, I could stick my fist in my ex's
& she weighed only 105 pounds.

On that note, NOT every Latina is a HOT-BLOODED lover....   some are DEAD COLD FISH.


4.  Expect To Be Treated Differently & Know Where To Go
Store clerks are gonna act like you AREN'T even there, cops will make snide remarks, &
customer service will be downright rotten.  Also, don't be surprised when restaurants sit you
@ tables away from the crowd [like in The Courtyard] & tell you "We thought that you wanted
to be ALONE" when ya ask to be in the dining room [even though ya saw same-race couples
all over the place, while they took you to the dungeon & walked you past a VACANT table].

Also, THINK before you take your lover into THE GHETTO or the REDNECK RIVIERA.
Just because people rave about Massachusetts being progressive over gay marriage
DOESN'T mean that you WON'T get jumped @ a St. Patrick's themed pub in SOUTH BOSTON.


5.  Acceptance Varies By The Combination
This is when racism REALLY bites.... 
& these assessments are based solely on my PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.

Black folks either LIKE YOU or they DON'T....   who approves WON'T be any secret.
You can always tell by the dirty looks,  eye rolling, &  smirks that someone gives you.

White people are a little bit trickier....   you might NEVER know if they're a racist.
But, a RED FLAG is when they go outta their way to say "I've got Black friends" &
ALWAYS beware when you meet a White man that other Whites call "A GREAT GUY"
[because 9 times outta 10, he's The One defending slavery & singing DIXIE behind your back].
When you're in public though, you'll be able to tell who DISAPPROVES by their  look.

If you're dating a Latino, then acceptance often depends on THEIR nationality or skin tone....
my cousin who's 1/2 Latino HIPPED me to this game, a long time ago.
She said, "Some families will accept ya, but others WON'T let you anywhere near the house".

Now, in my experience, Asians seem to be the MOST ACCEPTING outta everybody
[when it comes to interracial dating].  If you're a respectful person with goals,
then you can expect to be treated well by your lover's family [even after you've broken up].
It's rare when you meet an Asian family that makes a BIG STINK about you NOT being Asian.
If you encounter a problem, then it's MOST LIKELY gonna come from your lover's FRIENDS. 

When you're dating someone that's EAST INDIAN, the racial element is often quite disturbing.
If asked to summarize the typical family's attitude toward interracial dating, I'd have to say:
"SALT has a 75% chance of being accepted while PEPPER has a 1% chance".
I used to have an East Indian friend, but she NEVER invited me to her house.
One day, my buddy [a White guy] & I went to her house unannounced to surprise her.
When she opened the door, she proceeded to CURSE ME OUT for showing up.
She immediately BLAMED ME & started bitching about how her parents hate Black people.
Even when my buddy told her that it was HIS decision to come by....   she still cursed me out.
To top it all off, she then invited my buddy into the house & told me to wait in the car.


6.  Fuck What Your Friends & Family Think
If your family disapproves, then FUCK EM' because it's NOT their relationship.
Adults make decisions for themselves & must pursue their own happiness.
Granted, SOME people AREN'T strong enough to GO AGAINST their family....
they'd rather kiss ass instead of rising above the bigotry.
But, REAL FAMILY supports you regardless of whether they disagree with your choice.

If you've got friends that LOOK DOWN UPON you for being in an interracial relationship....
then, what the fuck are you even friends with them for????  Tell them to GET A LIFE.
A REAL FRIEND is gonnabe MORE concerned with your happiness than hatred anyway.
But, trust me, when ya call em' on it, they'll say, "I believe in UNITY among our race".
Don't be an IDIOT by letting your friends dictate WHO you choose to love &
if you'd end a relationship over their hangups, then YOU'RE THE REAL LOSER.


7.  Expect Cockblocking
Men tend to cockblock ahelluvalot MORE than women do.
Black men are gonna try to start fights & make you lose your cool.
White guys will wink & smile @ your girl, when they were INTIMIDATED every other time.
Latino guys try cruddy shit, in their own way [your co-workers will try to get you fired].
Asian guys usually DON'T act foolish like the previously mentioned guys....
but, I've already mentioned that your lover's friends will be the COCKBLOCKS.


8.  Be Realistic About Racial Slurs
Folks, there IS a big difference between the word "NIGGER" & the word "NIGGA"....
many White people & Black folks alike just CAN'T accept this fact.
Alotta Black folks get irritated @ any word that has the prefix N-I-G-G in it
& alotta White folks DON'T have the patience to let someone like me TEACH em' the difference.

Contrary to the popular belief perpetuated by Webster's dictionary....
"NIGGER" DOESN'T mean "ignorant person".  I dunno where the fuck he got that shit from.
If that's the case, then we're ALL niggers for believing that Arabs bombed Oklahoma City
[before finding out that it was Timothy McVeigh].

How do ya REALLY think that the klansman who yelled "Let's attack The Arabs" that day
would feel about being called a NIGGER????  Do you think that he'd say, "You're right, I am"?
Please [what planet do you come from].

In college, there was an Italian guy on my hall that we nicknamed WOOLEY....
one night, this White guy named BEN got mad @ Wooley & called him a "WOP".
Lemmie tell you....  Wooley went crazy, started crying, & tried to fight Ben for what he said.
But, the next year, when somebody called me a NIGGER, Wooley tried to tell me that
"it must've been a misunderstanding" & "the word means ignorant person".  

So, people, a racial slur is a racial slur....
if you're gonna date interracially, then @ least date somebody that's gotta clue.
I'm NOT gonna walk into Abercrombie & tell my Asian friends that the shirts being sold are
just "a misunderstanding, they're just endorsing fortune cookies & NOT making fun of Asians".

9.  Internal Prejudice Exists Within Every Culture
Blacks have the light-skin versus dark-skin thing....
you'll also often encounter the senseless war between Africans & American Blacks.

Latinos have the same light-skin versus dark-skin crap going on....
& just like Blacks, you'll often encounter tension that's based on NATIONALITY.

Asians have the same bullshit tension going on that's based on NATIONALITY....
one of my Asian friends once brokedown the stereotypes based on location [for me].
I couldn't believe how IGNORANT the shit was [it reminded me of how us Black folks do].

Also, White folks AREN'T exempt....
their shit's often based on CLASS or RELIGION.
 
So, you AREN'T gonna necessarily escape prejudice by STAYING IN THE RACE.


10.  Fuck The Aryan Nation
Talk about a bunch of IDIOTS....  if NIGGER really means "ignorant person" [which it doesn't],
then they've gottabe the BIGGEST NIGGERS on Planet Earth.
If you'd wear a bedsheet when it's NOT even Halloween, then you need to learn how to read
a muthafuckin' calendar.

NONE of them believe in race mixing....
even though 99% of them COULDN'T tell you where the fuck their own family came from.
They'd just be like, "We're the White Anglo-Saxon people....   WHITE POWER".

They also talk about Blacks being the MUD PEOPLE, even though the oldest bones of
prehistoric man have been found in Uganda [which means that's where we ALL came from].

They ALWAYS talk about ethnic cleansing....
when the ONLY way that you can cleanse a race is to do it WEST VIRGINIA style
[fuck your cousins OR fuck your mom to ensure that your brother is also your son].

They talk about MIXED babies being the destruction of America....
even though biracial children are some of the MOST BEAUTIFUL creations ever conceived.
Hell, you can put the ugliest White person together with the ugliest Black person &
somehow they'll create a baby that looks like ALICIA KEYS.

So, FUCK whatever they've gotta say about interracial dating....
in the end, NONE of us is PURE anyway [except for maybe those West Virginia inbreds].
