Interracial Dating In The Millennium

Interracial Dating    
A hot topic worth debating    
Perception innovating    
Skin blending given unto one another      
Heart-to-Heart for a future lover      
Does it matter whose tasting the sweet nectar of your rose petals under the covers      
      
Years ago, this concept on my Nurse’s wish list would never have fallen under grace      
Discussion such as this would never have taken place      
Racial discrimination, bigotry, or talks to blend the black man’s seed to procreate      
Never outside the realm of the darker race      
I will give you my thoughts I’m only being straight      
Therefore, I hope you can relate      
As my thoughts translate      
Served on your mental plate      
      
Jim Crow Era, a black man’s notion to touch a white woman, marched to be hung by a noose      
Rosewood, Black Wall Street, false lies selfishly created, white man’s mob scene cut loose      
White woman’s word, he touched me was all a ruse      
Towns burning, citizens lynched, tears of chaos, ridiculed followed by mental abuse      
Years later, black man jumping the cotton field fence      
I hear the whispers of the African American women, shaking their head in disapproval of its commence      
I will add my voice behind reasoning hoping to make broad sense      
My belief stands behind the discretion of the narrative’s expense      
      
There’s enough white men, why choose their black man      
The African American woman needs love, money, homes, white women can you not understand      
Dark Skin Pride      
Women, is it tolerable to you to allow the black man to slide      
Refusing to voice as your tongue is tied      
While taking this in stride      
Is the black man considered a sellout      
Ivory Cream is his motive within society, to some his ultimate bailout      
      
This world is vast as it goes      
Hopefully love continues to flow      
Does color matter to me      
Without being bias, or sounding like a referee      
Distinguished and Affluent men…mmm…the only crayons who colors my silk sheets      
      
I’m Haitian French Creole with Santo Domingo roots and various degrees of pearly sheet contributions      
Am I the problem or the solution      
Ask me my answer, when my lover has me under the covers, my stallion galloping, my blissful resolution      
It’s not a deterring law not to date outside the race, it’s certainly not written in the Constitution      
It does not lead to prosecution      
Therefore, love as your soul soars      
The world is too vast to swim alone to shore      
      
I can’t date outside my race, what would people think      
A fish out of water, starves if it doesn’t drink      
Fools rush in where Angels fear to trend      
Rainbow coalition is always welcomed in my bed      
I love, as if I love myself, nothing else from my point of view to be said      
Get the concept through your head      
God judge under one creed      
Plant love with affectionate harvesting seeds      
Now if it was me      
I’ve traveled the world, surprising thoughts have resolved, people thoughts are more liberal and free      
      
Love, as I’ve always said, it is ordained from above      
For anyone to stand in awe of      
Could I help it if the person is not my skin tone      
My God, emotionally and spiritually we do get alone      
Kids and then the home      
Bi-racial labeling singing your future song      
Could we have been wrong      
No, keep plugging alone      
Stay happy as the day is long
