You have one of my top qualities to have in a man, blackness I love how you appreciate it. My boyfriend doesn't understand how important blackness is to me (and he's black himself). You've proven to me that there are younger men who have an understanding and love for who they are (and their fellow black women, haha). Makes me more secure about dating too I feel like black women are seen as less than every other woman out there. Thanks for making me feel special haha (: I'll shut up now.

Thanks a lot that’s really nice of you to say that… gave me my smile for the day

This is egregious. 

Ask him which one is him.

How about not knowing is the reason why I as a black person would be so angry. How about slavery rendered these people, my family members GHOSTS whose identities will always remain a mystery to me. Whose language I can never speak again.. 
SO which one of those is me? They are all me. simple cheese faced ass bitch.
