Cincinnatti, Columbus, and Toledo, Ohio.( Gf went to TOSU)
Grovetown, Pa (business trip)
Chicago(stayed with old college buddy. Went to Sox game)
Philadelphia (another buddy from UGA was at Wharton business School)
Phoenix, AZ
Sedona, AZ (vacation)

Durango, CO
Salt Lake City, Utah ( visit friend)
Lake Tahoe (vacation)
Santa Fe, NM (vacation)
Santa Cruz, CA ( visit friend)
San Diego, CA (vacation)
Palm Springs, CA (vacation)
Kauai (5 times. Will retire there more than likely)
Maui (4 days)
Vacationed on following Caribbean Islands:
St. Bart's
St. Lucia
Dominica
Antigua
Barbados (learned Cricket there. Go West Indies!)
Anguilla
Turks & Caicos
Grand Cayman
Dominican Republic
Other countries: I am admittedly behind here.
Canada- Vancouver, Quebec
Belize
Brazil
Never been across the pond.
So yes Carolina, I have been out of Georgia. While not a legit world traveler, I have been to many places and loved every place I visited except maybe the DR. I was responding to the smart arse who said the South has nothing to be proud of except getting its arse handed to it by an army with 3 times as many men at its disposal. Southern and South La cuisine is some of the best in the world. Southern contributions to music is highly acclaimed. Sorry, but Southern women are more attractive, per capita, than any other place not Southern California. We have the best manners and hospitality of any region. We are the most desired region in the nation to re-locate corporations. shite talk on a message board just earns reciprocal shite talk.

Personally the flag has never done anything to me. The flag that the debate is over had nothing to do with the Confederacy. If I remember correctly it's the flag of the Tennessee Army. This is what I know I could never bring a white girl to meet my parents so I understand why white father's don't like Jerome. It has nothing to do with racism it's just life. Now I prefer an outright racist to one that's in the closet. It's all about accepting ones beliefs and having respect.

Virginia....northern virginia army....some soldiers didn't even die under the flag. The flag wasn't around during the battles in Missouri. That's why during bushwacker days in Nevada,Mo they display the original confederate flag more than the current one.

...t hat's pretty much the definition of racistm 
AS a 32 year old black man, I'll say this; interracial dating gets a hell of a lot easier the older you get. AT 30 a girl is pretty much like frick you mom and dad this is what i want. Plus you should have your shite together by then

About 6 years ago I was dating a white girl named crystal. it was pretty serious at the time.
Her family is in Boston and she didn't want to go home for Thanksgiving so I thought it was time for her to meet my family.
So I told my mom look I'm bringing a girl over.
My mom, who is pretty afrocentric / old school.. i mean she's not ghetto or anything but she's.. black. she wants her black son to have a black wife. She knows I date outside my race and she was like "is she white" and I was like yeah. And she was like "well, i don't know why you can't find a nice black girl"
I was like look mom i'm a grown arse man. I date who the hell I damn well please (not in those words she'd slap the shite out of me lol). If you have a problem with who I date i won't come. And I if i hear one ounce of direspect from anyone there we're both leaving. I won't tolerate it.
She shut the frick up. not a problem. they got along great.
If a grown arse woman is still worried about what her parents think, by dating an educated, hard working, respectful man who happens to be black, she's doing me a favor.

I date outside my race
In my opinion, as a black man, there are basically 3 types of black men that date white women.
1. That black man that grew up in a town where he was related to all the black people.
2. The black man that doesn't have his own things and feels like the white girl or her parents resources can help take care of him
3. The black man that black women aren't attracted to.
Which one are you?
Posted on 7/7/15 at 1:43 am to winston318
number 3 lol
I'ts not that black women aren't attracted to me, I just am not around many of them. I work from home, I don't go to church, my hobbies include horse racing, jazz and playing the piano. Not a lot of black women in those circles.

I asked my in-laws for their daughter's hand in marriage out of courtesy and custom.
If they'd had a problem based on my ethnicity, that would have sucked for them, because we were getting married regardless. That's a complete bullshite reason to eliminate a demographic of individuals as potential suitors.

None of the above.
1.) I was a military--never grew up in any one particular town.
2.) My wife and I met in college. I never relied on her or her folks for anything.
3.) I get hit on by the full spectrum of women to this day, including, but not limited to, black women.
I happened to marry a white girl, but I just like pretty women. Period. Wasn't "white girl or bust" or "any chick but a black chick" for me.

the point is to respect your parents
I believe in honoring your father and mother--to a point. And that point is when they conduct themselves in an honorable fashion. Fortunately I am blessed with terrific parents who raised my siblings and I to be color blind when it comes to interpersonal relationships, including those of a romantic nature.
quote:

I'd hold her parents in low esteem for placing her in that situation. At the end of the day, though, she's a grown arse woman and if she would allow her parents' petty whims (yes, accepting/rejecting a potential suitor based on their race is extremely petty, not to mention racist as hell) to govern such an important decision, that's a problem.

Quite true
I had an Irish great-grandfather on my mother's side and German somewhere on my dad's (hence my surname irl). Black is just what shows up (obviously ) for a lot of us. For the record, I'll be 27 at the end of this month

There a is difference between respecting your parents & blindly overlooking their character flaws. There isn't a child who is born into this world that doesn't look up to & respect their parents as a youth. There are occasions where children grow up to adults & realize that their parents have some major flaws that are too serious to just be ignored though. Even with those flaws, a child could still love their parents while not agreeing in their parents flawed way of thinking. It doesn't make a child any less respectful if the child addresses the issue in the correct manner but it does mean that they are enlightened to certain aspects of life & not narrow minded by the same blinders that their parents are.
quote:

I would hope that she would leave you on her own free will, without you influencing her. You are a coward who is afraid to stand up for her & what you believe in. What you need is a woman, black or white, who isn't afraid to mount a strap on & bust you open from the back because you like to get fricked.
Can you please keep your stupidity to the Rant & the rant only? TIA.

I'm surprised self hating black man who wants to be white wasn't on your list of options.
I've never dated a white girl but your reasons are stupid.

"Which one are you?"

I really don't care either way, as long as the guy dating my god daughters is a respectable mam who treats them right and can support them it's their choice. Lord help him if he treats her wrong no matter what race he may be.

Agforlife say things that make absolute sense, as usual
That's how a parent should be, imho
Not that I have any personal experience with that quite yet

I do not give a damn about that flag. I did not affect me when I was younger and will continue to affect me one iota as gets removed.
