African American singer Jill Scott doesn’t like interracial dating
March 30, 2010 | 15 Comments
Jill Scott has reportedly said that her “soul burns” every time she see a “successful black man with a white woman”.
In an interview with Essence magazine, the R&B-soul singer-songwriter said that she wished that a male, African-American friend was married to a black, rather than a Caucasian, woman.
Scott wrote: “My new friend is handsome, African-American, intelligent and seemingly wealthy. He is an athlete, loves his momma, and is happily married to a white woman. I admit when I saw his wedding ring, I privately hoped. But something in me just knew he didn’t marry a sister. Although my guess hit the mark, when my friend told me his wife was indeed Caucasian, I felt my spirit wince. I didn’t immediately understand it. My face read happy for you. My body showed no reaction to my inner pinch, but the sting was there, quiet like a mosquito under a summer dress.”
She continued: “Was I jealous? Did the reality of his relationship somehow diminish his soul’s credibility? The answer is not simple. One could easily dispel the wince as racist or separatist, but that’s not how I was brought up. I was reared in a Jehovah’s Witness household. I was taught that every man should be judged by his deeds and not his color and I firmly stand where my grandmother left me. African people worldwide are known to be welcoming and open-minded. We share our culture sometimes to our own peril and most of us love the very notion of love. My position is that for women of color, this very common “wince” has solely to do with the African story in America.”
Scott added: “Our minds do understand that people of all races find genuine love in many places. We dig that the world is full of amazing options. But underneath, there is a bite, no matter the ointment, that has yet to stop burning. Some may find these thoughts to be hurtful. That is not my intent. I’m just sayin’.”

LOL Mark is crazy, but this a big reason why we love him so much.
Lyrics:
Goin on a blind date
Got a call from Steven
It was just as I feared
Said he found my ideal girl
If I can overlook her beard
Another night out with a stranger
I just hope she’s of the human race
I bought a dozen roses
figured how could they hurt?
And prayed my date would not be
Godzilla in a skirt
Then walking up to her front door
I fought the urge to run
Would this girl be my Cinderella?
Or another Atilla, The Hun
I got another blind date, I better close my eyes
Why do all my blind dates attract so many flies?
Searching for my honey, but all I ever get is stung.
I think that I’ll stay a bachelor
Woah whoa, this is the date adventure.
Don’t think that I’m picky
I know I’m not so hot
Getting ready for a date
Should not include a rabies shot
Why must dating be such a challenge?
Why can’t it be fun instead?
All I want’s a girl, not Mr Ed (hello Wilbur)
I got another blind date, I got a trail to blaze
Should I take her to dinner, or to a field to graze?
Searching for my honey, but all I ever get is stung
I think that I’ll stay a bachelor
whoa whoa this is the date adventure
For the right girl
I would stick up my neck
and let her pick up the check
But I must wait
For my mate
Dating’s the toughest journey
When you pick a wife you can’t be wrong
So that’s why I go on blind dates
And bring Alpo along, yeah
Oh got another blind date
I better get ready to hide
Got another blind date
So pass the blindfold please
instead of her number
she’ll just leave me her fleas
Searching for my honey, but all I ever get is stung
I think that i’ll stay a bachelor
This is the date adventure.
Come on this is the date adventure
Better close, better close my eyelids

Question: Hi, I really like this girl and she likes me. The only problem is her parents won't let her date/ hang out with guys. It's a secret between the two of us that we like each other so hanging in a group might not work.
