It’s my birthday today. I’m feeling quite sad as I have no one to celebrate my birthday.

32 F 🥳

I’m from the UK 33 (F) and I feel like I’m actually doing a lot to unlearn my internalised racism and just decolonising in general.

I’m friends with a white woman from the UK. She’s one of my closest friends. She’s an artsy academic, comes from a working class background and is very leftist. Today she messaged me saying “I’m dating an African man, what’s your thoughts?” She hadn’t previously dated black men before.

I haven’t responded yet as I’m really having a hard time dealing with the swirl pandemic happening in the UK particularly around Black men choosing to date white women over us and now that one of my close friends has approached me doing the same thing, I don’t know how I feel about it.

Should I just be supportive? Like what does she actually want me to say? Well done? lol

Edit: I’m in a relationship before you all come for me with femcel attacks. I want to clarify the above, I don’t understand why she would ask what my thoughts are on dating a Black African man given we’ve never had this conversation before nor do I want to have this conversation with a white woman despite her being a friend.
