I didn't go to my prom because I hated everyone at my school so much. My ex (who was with me at the time) wouldn't let me take her to her prom because the town she lives in (about 30 minutes away from this one) has all hell break loose if a black person is seen with anyone besides another black person, and since she's black and I'm not, I guess she didn't want that negative attention or something.
I wanted to take her more for that reason though...so I could laugh and taunt their stupidity and possibly get on the news after getting my ass lynched. Oh well.
