A Black woman's comedic take on dating intellectual men of color after growing up in the suburbs. She catalogs the look: septum piercing, braids with new growth, denim jacket, wig, glasses. All the signals, she says, that you're about to date a white man.
Lol. How do I go about dating intellectual men of color when I primarily grew up in the suburbs? Well, first of all, date everybody, girl.
Date absolutely everyone and no shade, girl. But if you are a black woman from the suburbs, if you have a septum piercing, if you have braids with a little bit of new growth, if you roll your denim jacket sleeves up, you're not supposed, you're probably supposed to be with a white man, no shade.
So catch that tea.
Don't, don't shoot the messenger.
My experience.
My experience.
If you got that big curly wig.
White.
If you have.
Micro locs.
White.
No, you can't have a little new growth, girl.
You got big ass glasses on, girl.
White.
If you got shorter hair kind of like mine or a little bit thicker like Lupita, white.
