I thought 23 was about right. You're about two years away from knowing slightly less than everything. The good news is that if we didn't have younger people we would never go forward. I have worked for a wonderful black man and the tales I could tell you about our out of town ventures would fry your hair. I have had black people work for me that could slam dunk any white person in the world for work ethic. But you are naive if you think you would not have a problem with your daughter dating a black man. You would. Once you have children your life changes forever. And don't go calling me racist on this. The black kid that used to work for me had the most beautiful woman I have ever seen for a fiance'. She was black, of course, but he was never interested in any woman outside of his race. I don't call him a racist, do you? He used to tease me with taunts of "you've dated a black girl haven't you?" I didn't like the connotation because I thought it debased black women. I thought that was a flaw he had.
