So basically I understand that dating a black woman is different than a white woman. She mentioned she feels comfortable when someone is open to learn and takes initiative to learn the societal and cultural things that affect her as a black woman. I don’t know what this means. And the take initiative part confuses me. And I’m not sure how to go about it I’m very open minded to learn but should I probe with questions or more so reading about it myself?
I’d like this relationship to go somewhere (so far had 4 dates) but her telling me that felt deep and I want to make sure I take right steps
You’re on the right track. Asking her to point out micro aggressions that you don’t notice might help you be more aware
I think I’d advise against this. Its not her job to explain racism to him, she probably just wants to date a nice man. There are plenty of resources he can use to figure it out on his own.
