The Second Date

By JJ Argus

Melissa Andersson is a good Jewish girl, the daughter of progressive lawyers, imbued with the zealous liberal ideology of political correctness, inclusiveness and an earnest need to assert the equality of all. Weeks into her first year at Harvard she accepts a date with DeShawn Washington, a black groundskeeper at school. The date turned out to be a shocking thrill ride which was, by turns mortifying and exhilarating. Melissa had discovered that his righteous anger at her White privilege entitled him to a certain amount of freedom she would never usually have granted, and his rough ways had shocked her. Now she finds herself desperately hungering for those rough ways again, eager to abate her liberal guilt by seeing the roles of oppression turned on her by the angry Black man!

This story is a work of fiction. All characters are over eighteen.

Melissa was gripped by an uncomfortable sense of anxiety and stress. For a girl who was usually very self-confident and quite sure of herself, her actions, and her place in the world, that was entirely unfamiliar. She prided herself on her sense of doing what was right, and thinking what was right. And that meant she never had to worry about what she thought or said or did.

She had expected that to be challenged once she got to university, but not in the way it had been!

It hadn't been her classes at Harvard, where the parents had gone, where her grandfather had gone, where she was now comfortably ensconced, which had led to her sense of unease. No, instead it had been her first date with DeShawn!

DeShawn was a Black man! He was her first Black man, in fact, which, she thought, was something she should probably be ashamed of. Had she unwittingly ignored the many attractive Black men she had encountered previously, turning up her nose in an unknowing sense of racist white privilege?

Melissa's parents were extremely liberal, and they had raised her to be one, too. She believed in being inclusive and tolerant and accepting of other people's different cultures as well as sexual and gender preferences and choices.

She prided herself on her openness and tolerance for everyone (well, except for conservatives and other bad people, of course) and it really shouldn't have taken her so long to have a date with a Black man!

Her previous serious dates, though, had always been with what her mother referred to as 'good Jewish boys', which meant, of course, boys from good families with good prospects and morals, and in good standing at their local temple.

That had the unintended consequence of her dating only White boys, and she felt a great deal of angst about that now as she considered whether, in retrospect, she had been racist in her choice of dates!

That was a horrifying concept!

Melissa had been attending left wing demonstrations with her parents since she could walk! Her parents were proud of her being a politically aware and culturally sensitive person! The idea she had been excluding non-whites from consideration as dates was almost enough to make her question who and what she was!

But there was even more cause for her internal confusion and anxiety.

DeShawn acted in a way which was... well, very macho and dominant. She understood that Black culture was entirely different from that of what she recognized to be a fairly pampered liberal Jewish girl, but even so, he had subjected her to the kind of... shockingly sexist behavior which would have outraged her if he hadn't been, well, Black.

She understood he didn't mean to act as, frankly, misogynistic and crude as he had. He didn't mean anything badly by it, of course. And it was certainly not for her to question sexual roles of men and women within a minority community!

Especially one which had been subjected to vicious and brutal racism for generations! For centuries! No doubt that was the cause of the rough, even, somewhat barbaric way he had treated her. She didn't blame him for it, but blamed the racism of White society.

Which was all well and good, but the problem really, was how she had reacted, how she had responded to his... rough... behavior.

It had inflicted a seething, burning heat upon her which she had never known in her young life! She had quite literally never felt anything like it! She had never even imagined such a degree of sweltering heat and passion was even possible!

In comparison to what she had done with DeShawn, her previous sexual experiences had been tame, boring, unexciting, dare she say it 'pale' events lacking the wild, shocking thrill of what she and DeShawn had done!

And yet, she was a feminist! She was
