White Boys

White boys are so pretty
White boys are so sweet
White boys drive me crazy
Drive me indiscreet ---- White Boys, from the musical Hair

Lately, I've had this "thing."

For twenty-five years of my life, I've been pretty much exclusively attracted to men of color. Okay, not the whole 25 years, but at least since puberty. I was raised in a 99 percent black environment here in DC...all I knew was black men and black women. My whole family is black except for my great-grandmother and an aunt by marriage.

Even when I went to college, I was mostly attracted to men of color. 'Ceptin' for this one dude who was Ukrainian, maybe? We kissed once. But once I turned 21, it was nothing but the Black and Latino brothers. FOUR YEARS at a white college, and white men never turned my head.

But now, I'm sorta....feenin' for one?

As much as I loathe the objectification of black men in popular media, here I am getting real enthusiastic about Dean Cain (part Asian), Ben Affleck, and Tobey McGuire.

It's not a universal kind of thing....I don't want EVERY white man. And I don't want a white man exclusively. I still see me spending my life with an African American or Latino man.

But I think I need to date some Caucasoids soon.....
