is having sex equivalent to dating?
i am 34 yrs of age. i would be lying if i communicated to this international audience that i have never slept with ones outside my race. during my early years of adulthood,(17-25) i like many men was influenced by lust and environment.
did this make me a sheep in wolfs clothing? i dont think so-as i was not 'hiding' my relationship from others. i did not view white, indian, and in one case an asian woman as trophies-i viewed them as they were women i met at college, and developed relationships with. i did not harbor any hate for myself or other black women during this time.
was bob a hypocrite, becasue he gave in to lust?
i think that his works stand on their own merit-but it is obvious that he was driven by some degree of lust for women. can we judge his whole being, by this shortcoming.
i think one of the keys to reasoning about sensitive subjects such as these, requires a level of overstanding, whereas ones may feel at home to discuss the reasons why they/we/i acted in ways that we did, so we can work to teach the youth not to fall prey to the same environment that ones did in the past.
