I Wouldn't Want Anyone To Destroy The

I Remember After I Dated This White Man, Nobody Said Anything But There Was A Couple Of Men In My Family That Joked After That. 'oh Yeah, We Had A Party When Y'all Broke Up. Hee Hee Hee.' And, You Know, They Laughed, And It Was Like Light And A Joke. But, You Know, That's Real. That Was Real And They Let Me Know. And, It's Almost Acceptable Within Our Culture To Be Prejudiced Toward Whites Because Of Our History. This Country Is Loaded With Racism .

People Are Going To Always Have Their Opinions Whether You Date A Black Man Or Not. I've Had Girlfriends, Family Members Comment On Black Men That I've Dated As Well As White People. People Want To See What They Want To See. And If Anybody Doesn't Fit That Picture They're Going To Be Like, 'yeah, I Didn't See You With Him.'

People Make Jokes About How Black People Are The First Ones To Be Killed Off.

I Got Nominated For A Tony, Which Was A Complete Surprise. It Was An Experience That I Will Always Cherish

Like The Guy I Was Dating. White, Liberal, Educated. I Went To Meet His Family And I Think That They Probably Didn't Know They Had A Problem With It Until He Walked In With Me. And They Definitely Had Issues. Mom Had Issues With It. Could Not, Didn't Want To See Her Son. And I Don't Think She Had Anything Against Me. But It Was About Her Son Bringing Me Home. And I Felt That For The First Time. I Was Like, 'wow, That's Deep.' It's Really Simple: I Don't Fit Their Picture.
