After watching episode after episode of Braxton Family Values I still don’t have anything more to add to this post on their overall relationships from one of my favourite bloggers. But it feels like every other day, I hear about Toni Braxton talking about the new unicorn—I mean guy that she is dating.
On the Chelsea Lately show, Toni Braxton talked about the unicorn—I mean white guy she is dating:
"It's kind of nice, I can't deny it. Well, just because it's something different. The skin feels different. That's kind of nice. It smells different. Is that in my head? No?"
"But yeah, he's a really nice guy. He likes hiking. Black people don't hike. Is it called kayaking? See, I can't pronounce it. That stuff, too. Those are the differences, but other than that, it's pretty much the same because everyone's pretty international now, you know?"
After hearing Toni talk in such a way I wanted to talk more about the theory of normality that I want to move further into the blog for 2012. For everyone else dating someone outside their cultures, we understand that men are human beings and not unicorns. With the talk of IR mainstreaming, I think that there is going to be a few more of these unicorn-man dialogues. A quality guy treats a woman with respect, a sh*tty guy treats a woman like garbage, across cultures.
I think we should all just spread our holiday cheer and IR normality in the New Year. Happy holidays!
