Flirting with Black Women

I've never lived in, or worked in urban or suburban areas.  My society has always been rural. 

Until now.

Now I work in a hospital near Indianapolis and suddenly there are people in my world who speak, dress, and look different from my neighbors at home.  I have a friend who is Muslim.  I have a friend who is gay.  And, I have black women.

Now here's the thing.  Cute young white women avoid eye contact and conversation with me.  Cute young black women will stop and talk.  I don't know why.  Maybe black girls think I'm harmless.  Maybe they think if I'm white and friendly, then I'm cool.

I'm cool?  This is new.

Now for some black men, having a white girlfriend is a status symbol.  I don't think it's the same for black women who have a white boyfriend.  I think in those cases the white boyfriend eventually gets beat up.

But anyway, this is new for me... talking to black women.  And stranger things have happened.  Maybe I should put my family on notice.  Thanksgiving is just a few months away.  If I bring a date, she just may be... well... ... ... And I'm just saying that if a certain nephew asks me, "Who dat?" ... I will consider it to be in poor taste.
