As I walk through the library with one of my friends, I am sidetracked by this fine brother. He was slightly taller than 6’0, medium caramel complexion, smooth skin, athletic build, nicely groomed, and articulate speech...a true eye catcher. I didn’t look too hard though, partly because I was trying to get things in order for school, not to mention the lame line I would have had to come up with to get his attention…what was I going to say, “excuse me can you help me reach this book on the top shelf!” Then, in that moment, I asked myself a question I often think as I see men in passing…“I wonder if he dates women...too”?

We have a situation that some of us may know all too well… The storybook boy meets girl … Our two subjects become comfortable to the point that sharing secrets is no longer an issue, like it almost happens on accident. Life is good, or so it would seem. Time passes, our subjects get older and the girl has become so enamored with this boy. She finds herself thinking about “one day when” - looking at girlfriend’s children, engagement rings, and other accoutrements of a future that she covets to share with this boy whom she loves. Conversely, the boy begins to feel like the girl is becoming too comfortable or involved in his life that was up to this point, all his own. His own friends, family, home, dog, are not becoming “theirs”.

Ms. New Beauty has been working since she was 14. And in that time, she's had a wide variety of jobs. She was a nursery school camp instructor with a class of twenty toddlers under two and a supervising teacher who barely knew how to feed herself let alone a baby. She was a cashier at the now defunct and very disfunctional Service Merchandise. There all of the department and store managers were sleeping together in a very dramatic and semi-incestuous fashion. MNB even had the professional responsibility of putting tags on underwear at Value City, although that job only lasted for two and a half hours. But since she got paid for that time, and picker up her check (for $15 no less), Ms. New Beauty still counts that as a job.

When I found out Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins (from TLC) had sickle cell anemia, the most surprising commentary I heard came from a White man. He told me, "Yeah. There are a lot of you all. You know, Black women with auto-immune diseases." He didn't then, and nor do I now have any explanation for this phenomena. Yet, the statement remains irksome. It doesn't sting simply because of its truth. It stings because it is still a surprise to some people.
