Here I am thinking about women again (who'd guess?) and I've begun thinking there are some black girls that I think are cute and all and I know of one that did like me she kept talking to me during a school event that we did and wanted me to hang around her she is cute too. The problem is that I have a lot of social problems and the last black girl I flirted with got some dude sitting beside me to get all mad at me b/c of the race thing. Now I don't really care about that but everyone else does and I don't know if I should go after girls that are black b/c of the cultural and social difficulties it may cause b/c I can't really defend myself verbally all that well. Is that a bad way to do it or what?

I haven't talked to her since so she may not like me anymore I was just wondering like for future reference.

I see that you live in Mississippi and to be honest I don't know what the racial climate is. Having said that, there are a lot of black people where you live and if you decide that race is not important to you, you've just increased the number of potential girlfriends dramatically. In terms of people giving you a hard time for befriending others of a different race, well that's their problem and not yours.

If you want to signal that you're friendly to people of other races, you could always try wearing a "Barrack Obama for President" pin as he is very popular in the state where you live.

Go after who you like. I think that one of the ways to fight racism is to follow your heart so to speak. It is hard enough for anyone to make good and long lasting friends or relationships, why let other peoples racism stop you from making friends of any race? The more people you include, the more potential friends/partners you have to choose from.

I live in the south too. I have seen first hand the way people treat my sister and her African American husband, and my biracial nephew, simply because of race. We aspies tend to have a harder time "getting" cultural things of any kind, but overall I think you should just follow your heart. All women are beautiful.

Go for it man!
