Preface

So after searching for an interesting topic for my blog, I have finally come to one. I was thinking about doing a food blog but I felt like I could never compete with the blog entries of "Julie and Julia." There is just no comparison to hers. I then came up with a brilliant beyond brilliant idea.

Here I am a senior at Sonoma State University, one of the whitest cal state universities and I Hayley Marx have dated mostly black guys during my entire dating career. You’re probably thinking damn this girl is definitely at the wrong school! Yeah I soon realized that when I get here a few years ago but I am making the best of it. I have figured out how to deal with the problem of diversity like taking weekend trips to Richmond, California. (We’ll get to that part later.) Now one might ask how a nice Jewish girl from Beverly Hills, California ends up like this. I really have no idea and I have been asking myself this question since I was sixteen around the time it started.

             At first I thought yeah this is just a phase it will surely go away soon, but nope it still hasn't. After seven years it is still growing strong. I figured this blog would be away for me to tell the entire tale of how it started and recreate those moments for myself, and readers out there as well.  I will explore the good and the bad times in me dating black men. This topic sometimes makes my fellow piers uncomfortable, especially the guys I know. It always seems to be the talk of the town when I am out at a party or hanging out in a group of friends. I hope to seek the answers to why this seems so funny to people. I am hoping that by them reading this blog it will get them to feel a little more comfortable with the idea of it As much as it will be something fun and entertaining to read, I hope readers will gain more of a racial understanding and awareness.  I have been really excited to do this but am a little scared since I will be sharing such personal stories with all of the readers out there. Well, here goes nothing….
