The name is Steve Vincent. I'm a big and tall young Black man of Haitian descent living in the City of Randolph, Massachusetts. I am Bisexual, and only some of my friends and family members know. I love my fellow Haitians dearly but our community isn't exactly welcoming of Gays, Lesbians and Bisexuals. In spite of the efforts of the organization known as the Haitian Gays And Lesbians Alliance. That's just the way it is. These days, I attend the prestigious Randolph University, which is an okay school. I thought private schools in America would be stuffy and elitist. Randolph University is pretty laid back, I guess that's why I kind of like it.
I didn't think I would like the school , though. Randolph University is at the center of a lily-white New England town which really isn't my style. I need to be around other people of color to feel comfortable. They don't have to necessarily be predominantly Black. They could be Asian, Hispanic or Middle-Eastern. I just can't stand places that are whiter than chalk. It's 2010. America's President is Black. North American private schools need to start embracing racial diversity. Get with the program. In twenty-odd years, whites will be minorities in America. They're already minorities in the rest of the globe. I was born in the Republic of Haiti, the first Black-led democratic country in the New World. Lucky for me, Randolph University was far more diverse than the ditzy little town it was built in. There are eleven thousand students, and thirty eight percent of them are of African-American, Hispanic or Asian descent. I guess I wouldn't be as alone as I thought.
The City of Randolph has been my home ever since I left the City of Cap-Haitien, Haiti, my native town. I couldn't stand the town, to tell you the truth. I prefer hanging out in nearby Boston, which is a lot more lively and diverse. If I don't feel like hanging out in Boston, I head to Brockton. Now Brockton, that's my kind of town. Fifty two percent of Brockton's 100-000-person population is of African-American, Asian or Hispanic descent. People of color are the majority in this town. Damn. I want to move there someday. First I have to get my bachelor's of science degree in Criminal Justice from Randolph University, though. You need lots of dough if you're going to buy real estate in New England these days.
I have a pretty interesting life these days on campus. Randolph University is well-known for its athletics. The athletics department sponsors men's intercollegiate baseball, basketball, cross country, soccer, swimming, ice hockey, football, wrestling and volleyball along with women's intercollegiate softball, basketball, cross country, soccer, swimming, ice hockey, field hockey, volleyball, equestrian and cycling. I joined the men's soccer team as a walk-on tryout during my freshman year. I've always loved playing soccer. I used to play soccer for my old Catholic High School, College Notre Dame Du Perpetuel Secours, way back in the Republic of Haiti. Good times.
Tonight, my friends and I are getting drunk and having sex. My dorm is big, with lots of space and privacy. That's why my buddies are always coming over. The Haitian students are so stressed lately. Ever since that nasty earthquake hit our homeland's capital. Most of our families were alright but we're still distraught over the stuff we've seen on the news. Sometimes, you've got to find a way to take your mind off the shit that's going on in your life. Otherwise you're going to lose your mind and you won't be any good to anyone. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. Sex is a form of therapy, folks. You heard it here first. I am totally into fucking my lady's brains out if that's what it takes to relieve the both of us of stress. Being a Black person in collegiate America can be quite stressful, folks. If you don't keep it together, it's a world that can eat you alive.
