Emancipation - Chewed up Another Book Already
I chewed up another book already, it is called, "Emancipation" as you can probably guess, it has to do with Emancipation in the US. Why does this mean so much to me, my first partner was African American, and he was too great. He was the best friend I ever had, but a heart defect pulled him away from me. I have had friends think I was being funny, when they hear of my black boyfriend died playing basketball It is not amusing to me, and not meant as a joke. I miss him everyday and I never had to explain myself to him. He knew the nature of my work, knew it was important and never interfered. Besides my dad, he was the best man I ever knew.
I will do what I must.

Gurglesnap,
I hope this isn't considered off topic, but I just want to pop in and say I am sorry for your loss. It absolutely is not funny that your love died playing basketball. I'm sorry your "friends" were so cruel, ignorant, and apathetic. It burns me when people delight in such stereotypes. I hope your heart has managed to heal a bit after experiencing that kind of heartache. I know you will likely never be the same, but I hope that you can live and thrive in the legacy your partner left. My heart goes out to you. Thank you as well for having interest in a book like "Emancipation" and for the more open mind you possess. May the love of you and your partner never be forgotten (if desired)...
