    Ask a black guy

    Do you avoid pursuing relationships with women who already have children? Why?

    Guy#1 Duh, why would I do that? If I am going to start a relationship, I prefer to start with somebody who has a clean slate. There are too many problems involved with that. At this point, I am not a daddy and I am not going to play the role of daddy until I’m daddy and that is if I ever choose to be a daddy. Does that make sense? Think about it, if I had a kid would she be trying to talk to me? Don’t think so.

    Guy #2 Yeah I avoid them. There is just something about a girl who has a kid. It’s like after a girl has a kid by somebody else I just cannot see myself with her. I mean it is nothing against the kid or anything, it is just a turn off for me. If I get in a relationship with someone, I want the other person to be in a similar situation as me. The kid thing just is not for me.

    Guy #3 Yeah, being with a mother is just not what I prefer. I mean I would not expect very many girls to want to have anything with a guy who has a kid or kids. Maybe it is because I’m only 18, but I just cannot do the whole parenting thing right now. But, I mean I guess I would consider it if the girl was that fine but that is rarely the case.

    If you found yourself in a situation in which you got someone you barely know pregnant, what would be your next move and why?

    Guy #1 Whew, that is a tough one. I would probably break down crying and then see how she felt about getting an abortion. Not because I am some evil person, but because I would not want to bring a child in the world without really knowing the mother is. I mean I would say adoption, but I would not want to give my kid away right after seeing him or her born. Even If I wanted to, I am the type of guy who is not really going to be interested in getting to know her in the 9 months after she breaks me the news.

    Guy #2 I mean having an abortion is out of the question because it is against my views as a Christian. So I guess my only option would be to somehow get to know who she is and make the best of it. I mean that is a tough predicament. I would live everyday for the rest of my life thinking “what if.”

    Guy #3 I would kill myself if I got somebody pregnant that I did not know. But the crazy thing is stuff like that happens every day at A&T. I would probably see about getting an abortion because that is just not the best of situations for either person or the kid. Well, I mean the kid would not matter if she got an abortion, but you know what I mean.

    Who will be crowned champs at the conclusion of this year’s NCAA tournament? Why?

    Guy #1 Well, honestly I am a Tarheel at heart, but I am going to have to say either Syracuse or Michigan. Even though Syracuse lost to Louisville, they have good players who play with chemistry and unselfishness. This is the year of the point guard and Michael Carter-Williams is definitely a floor general. Their coach has been here a million times. Michigan because that boy Trey Burke is so quick and so smooth with the ball. If he and Tim Hardaway Jr. do their thing they could end up running the table if they get the right matchups.

    Guy #2 Duke baby, you already know. I know we slipped up against Maryland in the tournament, but that was just a strategy for us to make sure we rested for the first round. Plumlee should be player of the year and I know you have seen what Kelly been doing since he came back. I feel like we are in the easiest bracket this year, the only teams we have got to worry about are Louisville and Michigan State.

    Guy #3 Honestly, I am feeling Georgetown right now. They have been playing well at the end of the season and they play solid D. If not them I would probably go with Miami, just because they have so many weapons on the court at all times. It is going to be tough because they are probably going to end up playing against Michigan or Kansas and both of those teams could win it too.
