Raquel Jean-Pierre is the name. I'm a five-foot-ten, curvy, busty and big-bottomed black woman of Haitian descent living in the city of Brockton, Massachusetts. I'm a student at Bridgewater State College, majoring in business. It's my first year at the college. Last June, I graduated from Cardinal High School. Bridgewater State College is a mostly white campus with a somewhat diverse student body. Many African-American, Hispanic and Asian students from nearby Brockton attend the school. I found myself bored as hell. There were lots of guys around, but they didn't appeal to a sexy young black woman like myself. I like my men to be black and manly, not white and nerdy. Nothing personal, just my preference.
I made quite a few friends at Bridgewater State College. Myra Adewale, a young black woman from South Africa is one of my best friends. We met during Orientation Day. Along with our friend Janet Lee, a Chinese-American pre-med student, we formed a glorious trio. We hung out together, and supported each other. Like girlfriends should. However, something was missing. I love my girlfriends but I need a man. Preferably a black man. There were lots of good-looking black men on the college campus, but most of them had white chick fever. It's an inexplicable phenomenon. I swear, every black guy on the football and basketball teams of college campuses across America is dating some blonde hussy with a name like Amber, Bambi or Meredith. And most of the times, these chicks aren't even pretty. They have okay faces but flat chests and flat butts. Hey, if that's what the black college men want, that's their choice. To each his own, you know. I sincerely hoped that somewhere out there, there are black college men seeking black college women.
I busied myself studying, and aced my classes. I've always been a good scholar, so it was easy. Working hard at maintaining a 3.9 GPA took my mind off guys, at least temporarily. As fate would have it, my luck soon changed. Recently I hooked up with this tall, handsome black stud named Jerome Wilfred. And he's all that and then some. He's a Haitian-American soccer player at Emerson College in Boston, and he likes the sisters. Especially thick, beautifully dark-skinned and big-bottomed sisters like me. Glad to know some black college men still like black women. It fills this sister's heart with joy.
Jerome and his friends like to hang out in Brockton. He's from Atlanta and doesn't much care for Emerson College's lily white campus. I know just what he means. He wanted to hang out with others like him, other black college students. We have our own hangouts, you know. That's how we met. We've been inseparable ever since. What can I say? The chemistry was just right. We had a lot in common. Just two Haitian-American college students trying to make it in America. Jerome was quite the charmer. He would take me dancing to some really cool reggae clubs, and we would walk all over Boston, holding hands and laughing. Just a young black couple in the big city, enjoying each other's company. And it was a beautiful thing.
