“I need an around the way girl
Around the way girl
Thats the one for me”
–LL Cool J’s Around The Way Girl
Well kiddies, we’re finally here, the finale of the never-on-time, and often maligned WAATGBMA!. Yep, this ranks somewhere in the trilogy hall of fame between the Lord of the Rings movies and “Deep Throat” Vol. 1,2 and 3 starring Vanessa Del Rio. Anyways, we have plenty to cover so let me jump right in.
You knew it was only a matter of time before this came up. Today, we talk about a subject that is sure to ruffle a few feathers. I’m beginning the first of two or three articles discussing interracial dating.
I’ve dated women of a variety of races (black, white, asian, middle eastern, etc… I don’t really keep score like that) and I’ve come to one conclusion, they’re all crazy. I’m kidding ladies, I’m kidding! The actual conclusion that I’ve come to is that being proud of my heritage (black pride) and interracial relations are not mutually exclusive concepts. But I’ve also come to the conclusion that an issue with interracial dating belies a larger issue beneath the surface.
The discussion on the Brown is typically pretty heavy, so I’ve created a policy of posting something that I think is funny every Friday to lighten the mood. So I give you, Family Guy:
This morning, I awakened to Doug Banks Radio as usual… and as usual, I was shocked at the outright ignorance of people. The subject they were discussing was Tim Hardaway’s anti-gay comments and his subsequent ban by the NBA from the All-Star weekend. Instead of discussing whether the ban was reasonable or not, the question for call in was, “Should he have made the anti-gay statement?”
They’re mad lucky that the line was busy, ’cause I was about to tell them about themselves. I’m not saying whether I agree or disagree with Hardaway, because I don’t want to muddy the point I’m about to make. My opinion is irrelevant to the issue. The real issue is why is this man being punished for having an opinion?
