Postbourgie’s Friday’s Random Ten is the perfect cap to a week filled with misunderstandings, generalizations and assumptions on the subject of interracial relationships. My basic take on the subject is: if you don’t like interracial relationships then don’t get into one. And that still stands. But, the posting of LL’s “Around the Way Girl” just sums it all up beautifully for me, they get it. Its that feeling you get after a long day downtown and you finally step off that train into your neighborhood, your battery is instantly recharged, you’re home. And so I’m not sure race is the correct dissection point of interracial relationships, it’s culture. We gravitate to what we are most comfortable with because we need, love and appreciate it.
But now thanks to that LL joint, I’m feeling all Spring feverish and homesick for the sounds and people from Uptown. I want a cold Presidente, and a park bench at Bennett, and I want to hear some merengue tipico and just hang with my people.
