Confessions
…about being a trophy.
Until I met my boyfriend, I had never been unfaithful to my husband. I just find it curious that so many black men want to pursue white women and I can’t help but feel this is all sort of some big game, perhaps some a male genetic instinct to dominate women, but it still seems like a game. I know that when I am out with my boyfriend, I am his trophy. He denies it, but I know it is true. Part of me wants to be his “woman” (me Tarzan, you Jane!) and I get both embarrassed and excited by the looks we get. There have also been more than a few “she must be a hooker or slut” looks (and comments). I am starting to get used to it since I guess that is what comes from interracial dating. My boyfriend just shrugs it off and tells me that’s what discrimination is all about and that is what is it like to be black in America. It is not something I really appreciated before.
