No I'm no longer with her. She was forced to move to Vancouver from Montreal, which is where I was raised. I'm married to someone else now. She did want to fit in, and yes it was really sad, but it's something that black women are still doing because the media rarely places the spotlight on very dark skinned women. The moment many people see the dark skin, their mind becomes made up.
I had a buddy who was on a date with an Italian lady, and he told me that it took her 3 hours to realize that she thought that he was attractive. It took her time to realize that he had features that were attractive to her. This is what he told me after having a long conversation with her about that particular comment that she made.
This is why I can't place the full weight of IQ, or smarts on what attracts us as people, or why certain people are racially, and or walking around with homophobic tendencies. Indoctrination, or the way that they/we are taught has a lot to do with things. This in no way means that a person has a low IQ, or are dumb as Jed the stool smoker. The Government goes to lengths in order to keep people segregated in the US. When you fill out a job application its asks you what race you are from, which makes no sense at all sense we are all from the same human race.
It's still there though. I was going to do a Youtube special on the differences between the living conditions in ghetto neighborhoods predominantly populated with Blacks, and Hispanics vs the living conditions of non ghetto neighborhoods predominantly populated by White people (Jewish, Italian...etc..).
In the ghettos, the people pay the same amount of taxes, if not more, but the environment is deplorable. Sidewalks are to the point that walking on them is more hazardous than walking out in traffic. Trees have buckled the sidewalks so severely that if you don't pay attention to where you are walking you may break a leg, or an ankle if you tripped over the bumps. I have a cousin that told me that the streets in his neighborhood had never been paved to his knowledge, and he's 45yrs old. What are the tolls being used for that millions of people pay each year? At least this was what I was thinking. There are so many problems, that getting into them at this point would be pointless.
But, I would like to express one more thing. I have heard sayings like this group of people are just trying to keep this group of people down. There is a truth to this, but it's not coming from a group of people. It's coming from the government that was built to keep a certain socioeconomic groups down. If you do not have access to a car, you will not ever be able to get to certain jobs located in places that the closest bus or train would only bring them 5 or more miles from the jobs location. This is not something that would work on a daily basis. back in the day those people that were held back just so happened to be the minorities, but these days, those minorities are climbing out of the deficit, and rising in status to the point that they are living in upscale neighborhoods. This however was not always the case in the US. After all the US was built on the backs of slaves, and this went deeper than what the eye can actually see if you were to never probe deeper into the corruption deeply embedded into the infrastructure of this country.
