| Posted by J. P. Davies on 01/04/04 at 08:49 PM I think I'll quote a good friend of mine on this one. "Halfie babies, halfie babies!!" |
| Posted by Beth K Hannah on 01/05/04 at 03:16 AM wonderful...it seems like you are looking the opposition in the face and flipping them off. great. |
| Posted by Kristine Briese on 01/05/04 at 07:45 PM Shameful and inescapable truth about our past. I love your words and actions, the new truth you tell. |

| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 11/04/04 at 03:08 AM Aaron, you truly outdid yourself on this poem. It's strikingly rich with truths that have looked us smack dab in the face for centuries. Super job and I love the title. Kyle Anne |

| Posted by Julie Adams on 03/20/08 at 08:49 PM I LOVE THIS PIECE, a favorite already...I have often dated inter-racially,\ and I was struck by the title in the random favorites section, but not sure what to expect...the first 6 lines are simply magical...the other lines to follow are good also, don't get me wrong, but the imagery at the outset is so spellbinding it made the rest of it so much more powerful...a pleasure to experience, peace, jewels |
| Posted by Marianne Reddan on 12/16/08 at 02:01 AM This piece is so playful & dead on. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/08/09 at 01:08 PM This piece is s true. People ar just full of prejudice and ready to judge. My friend marrid an Afro-american and her Mother stopped talking to herr. Thank G-d it's become more acceptable (depending on where you live. Very powerful,homest and funny (in a black humor sort of way- no pun intended) Really good write! |

Humphrey on 10/05/09 at 10:14 PM My step sister is as blonde and pale as sunshine and her husband is of two ethnic backgrounds and my great niece is a doll with an olive complexion and big brown eyes....so you never really know where people get there looks what truly matters these days is where they will get there attitudes...it begins with setting aside the differences and it seems you do when you roll, love this poem. smh |
