Learn how
to Swirl
How to date, mate and relate. Mixing race, culture and creed.
It seems like every week there’s a new anti-swirling article on so-called black women’s interest blogs, and I have to wonder why. I mean, we’re so trivial…right? Why all the attention?
Since folks keep asking me to read the tea leaves, here’s what I think about Paul Ryan having a black college sweetheart.
This video is a light-hearted response to some cold-blooded assumptions that are being made about “Swirling” by people–some who are self-proclaimed “journalists” who have never cracked the spine on the book.
You have to ask yourself, why would anyone want to discourage another from reading a book that they themselves have not read? What might they be afraid of?
This is what you missed! Make sure it doesn’t happen again, because we’re coming to a city near you.
For those of you who are curious about what the heck we talk about during our events…check it out.
These events, ya’ll–I don’t mean to make you jelly or anything, but they continue to be amazing. Even in 98-degree heat (well, at least it’s a dry heat) nearly 50 people showed up to our “Swirling” book signing at Europa Village in sun-shiny Temecula. I was slightly annoyed with the folks that RSVP’d five minutes before the event, but I was able to forgive it, since we nearly sold out of all the books we brought. We had so much dang fun, people keep asking, “When’s the next one??!”
As a non-native, Kari looks at America with an outside-in prism, and noticed that, while she had no qualms about dating, mating and marrying interracially, many in America didin’t share that view. She interviewed me and several other bloggers, including one of my favs, Afrobella, about this and thought I might share:
Well ladies, I hope you’ll be able to hold down the fort without me, because I am going to do something that’s either completely insane or insanely brilliant and make my way down to Comic-Con on Saturday to lure in all the comic nerds for our “Swirling” big bash that night at the five-star resort, The Grand Del Mar.
Might this review hush the mouths of folks who are trying to paint SWIRLING as some gross betrayal of the race, or some black-man bashing fest? Meh. Not likely, but I just love rubbing it in!
