	I present to you my standard response to `` Black meets 
White '':

	It's only a color.

	Anything else is kind of like selling your soul. It 
depersonalizes individuals and contributes to racism. Any 
relationship is based on foundation and common interest. To use 
others to glorify yourself can only end in tragedy. Ultimately, 
there will be no one who will be harsher judge than yourself. I 
would prefer not to contribute to this style of thought, I 
thought we were trying to relate personal experience. The friends 
I associate with understand this, that the only means of relating 
is on equal terms, and that the rest of the world is not involved 
in your relationship. Otherwise, be prepared for peyton place 
deja vu.

	There are more important things to consider in a 
relationship. Things like trust, things like courage, things like 
intelligence. A person's physical features are the first thing I 
notice, but are the last things I consider. I must sense that 
that person has what I consider real values.

	In short, could we change the subject?
