Let’s be fair here. Although **AB** loves to brag about stuff, he’s never (to my knowledge) engaged in this particular kind of bragging.

He has, however, expressed bafflement about other people’s relationships:

> Can anyone point to a “first rate” (for lack of a better term) white woman who has publicly dated or married a black man? This may sound incredibly racist, but I sincerely don’t intend it to be. I just can’t think of a white woman who is attractive, self-confident and individually successful who has a black mate. The ones that come to mind are older, unattractive to some degree, have evident personal issues or bring nothing much to the relationship.
