- @sistertoldja What people fail 2 realize is it's not some MAJOR decision people make about who they're attracted 2. U r or u're not. Period. in reply to sistertoldja #
- @sistertoldja People should respect ur preference 2 NOT date interracially as much as I expect people 2 respect my interracial marriage ^Kat in reply to sistertoldja #
