I am not attracted to black guys. Even if I was it’s hard. Any person can be my friend but I don’t want family friends to get pissed off at me. It’s not a risk I’m willing to take. Especially in the Trump era. For me personally,I have to be very strategic in what I do. Gosh I sound like Cersei Lannister but I’m not willing to risk everything. It’s sad but true. All other races are fine. So go ahead be my friend. It doesn’t matter to me who anyone else dates I’m fine with that. I know it’s getting bad out there. I’m not willing to take that risk.

Inclusiveness can be scary. Segregation’s scarier.

All the time I talk to people who are terrified by the “worst case scenarios” of reaching across racial, religious, and other cultural divides. And I do understand–multiculturalism involves an element of risk, just like LOVE involves risk. But I believe that taking those risks–bridging those gaps–is our only hope for a better world. The suggestion that we not bother trying–now, THAT’S what truly terrifies me.

There is no risk in rightness
