If you're Black and male in North America you cast a giant shadow over everything and everyone around you, whether you're short like Kevin Hart, strong like Mike Tyson or tower over everyone else like Shaquille O'Neal. How you see yourself and how the world sees you are two completely different things. Sad but true. Take me for example. My name is Omar Saint...
"Bianca, I don't get down like that," says my boyfriend of two years and fellow University of Toronto student Reginald "Reggie" Lawson. The six-foot-one, burly young Jamaican stud fixed his brown eyes on me, a pleading expression on that handsome mug of his. Seriously, those doe-like eyes would have moved anyone but me.

I think every guy...
I rolled my eyes as my parents dropped me off in front of the green house. I made my way pass the white picket fence and up to the door, knocking. I barely gave the massive man a glance as he let me in. My short blonde hair hangs in my blue eyes. As I size up the towering bear of a man.

While sitting at the upscale bar in a fine restaurant, I wondered how big a mistake this was. What's the worst that can happen - an early night and web surfing back home? A beautiful black woman came in and looked around. I forgot to ask about race. I tried to catch her eye and flaunted my emerald green "It's ME" scarf. She looked past me and I looked t...
