For The Fellas…

 

I’ve been reading Tariq Nasheed’s, The Art of Mackin’, an excellent book by the way.  As I was reading, I ran across “20 General rules of mackin“, a list composed by Tariq that entails the skills that all men must uphold in order to maintain “mackin’ status”.  I know some simps may no be comfortable with that language, so let’s pretend the list is called, “20 dating tips for men“, there you go, feel better?  Anyway, some good stuff, check it out.

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.
