Come here often? I wrote my first blog post here on June 21, 2005. If you haven’t been reading since the beginning, I don’t want you to feel left out. So, as I mentioned previously, for the remaining Saturdays of the year, I’m writing roundups that highlight things you may have missed. The first Saturday roundup’s was about dating. The second covered living in New York. This week, I’m talking about ethnicity. I’m a sex, dating and relationships writer. I’m also a black woman. I’ve been fairly vocal about the fact “black issues” and “sex issues” aren’t mutually exclusive. Earlier this year at Open Center‘s Sex in America, I (and others) gently reminded the panel — which included no minorities — that people of color have sex, too. Just ask my vagina. She’ll tell you it’s true! :) In case you’re interested in this stuff, below are posts I’ve written about race/ethnicity and sex:
- Diary of a Tired Black Man. A friend told me about Tim Alexander‘s film, so I wrote about it on Funky Brown Chick. Tim wasn’t happy about what I said, and he left comments on my blog to let me know exactly how he felt. Read the post and comments. To form your own opinion, I also recommend his film. It’s available to Netflix members streaming (FREE!): Diary of A Tired Black Man.
- How to Date a Black Woman. Read my tips for dipping in the brown sugar ;) For another perspective, see the companion piece How to Date a White Guy. If you like this topic, be sure to weigh in on: Are White Men Who Like Black Women More Attractive?.
- Black Couple Adopts White Daughter (Interracial Adoption). Understanding relationships isn’t exclusively a question of sex. Who we consider “family” also counts. Essence, a monthly magazine for African-American women, published a great piece about one couple’s colorful collection of children. Read about Mark and Terri Riding.
- Black Women Love Colin Farrell. Ah, remember him? If you like this post, hop over to YouTube for “a staged reading of the Colin Farrell sex tape transcript performed by professionally-trained Shakespearean actors.” Trust me. You won’t regret it; it’s sooooo made of win!
