All of that really doesn't matter, why all that matters is that 22 years later I'm still close to where I moved to as a kid. My point is that I don't see too much diversity, I definitely do not see many full, chocolate or dark chocolate black kids. I don't even see that many biracial black kids.
So here is my story -
The other day a whole family of black people were eating at a place that I frequent. The family had 4 kids and three were boys. The boys stood out because they were pure chocolate kids and I am not trying to be racist it's just that these very fit, very cute black kids caught my eye. I forgot that black kids could be that cute, absolutely gorgeous.
The oldest one was about 12, with very short hair which I hate on white boys but black kids can pull it off and besides he had such a nice face he didn't need hair. The middle kid who was about 9 same thing, short hair and cute face and finally the youngest maybe 6 was the only one with longer hair like a mini afro. The 4th kid was a girl and although not ugly she was not where my interest or attention was in fact she was significantly lighter in skin tone so she could have been a cousin or friend for all I know. I saw the oldest boy get up and walk over to some video games the restaurant has so I took that opportunity to talk to him. He flashed a smile at me and I almost melted when I saw that he wore braces. Braces on boys are HOT and as this old white guy found out braces on black boys are just a little hotter.
Apparently he was visiting from Los Angeles, CA and I told him I was raised until age 11 in Southern California. "That's cool" he said and with that he told me he had to go and rejoined his family. I sat back down and observed them until they left. I never fully appreciated that black boys are just as cute as white boys and in some cases cuter. I think I need to get out and see more diversity.
