There should be a law or at least some social sanctions against people who sit around doing nothing but cussing and acting rude all day. Seriously. I consider it a serious breach of human etiquette. And it's all too common in the black community of Massachusetts. However, I'm not quite sure how to approach the subject with some of the ruder individuals among my male and female paramours, as they say. It requires delicate handling, not something I am known for.
So, rather than stick around to fix relations with dishonest men or perpetually angry and difficult women, I usually dump them. Some people think I'm cold for doing it but then again, they don't know these hood dudes and hood chicks like I do. They're mean as hell, folks. Especially the hood femmes. Trust this brother on that one. My name is Eric Dawson, a tall and good-looking, forthrightly bisexual black male college student of Haitian origin from the town of Brockton. This is my story.
Summer had come and I basically had nothing to do. Well, I was taking one online course at UMass-Boston but other than that, I wasn't doing much. I work part-time at a restaurant and they only call for me three to four times a week. The pay is not that great but I spend it mostly on traveling expenses and movie tickets. I don't have a car and I still live with my father and mother, policeman James Dawson and corrections officer Lynne Ardell Dawson. I had to find something to do with my time before I lost my sanity. What's a brother to do when the sun is blazing and he's got a lot of energy and some time to kill? I found myself two ghetto bitches to have some fun with. The rest, as they say, is history. The ghetto bitches in question are my neighbour Louisa Trey and her friend Bella Gasman. They weren't very pretty but they had a reputation as D. L. Sisters.
The whole world knows about D. L. or Down Low Brothers. They're men who might be gay or bisexual but hide it from their friends and family. The term applies mostly to black and Hispanic men living in urban America. There was a book about it plus television interviews and documentaries and everything. Nobody really knows what a D. L. Sister is. Let me tell you about them. A D. L. sister is a woman who is lesbian or bisexual and hides it from her friends and family members. Having sex with other females on the low while maintaining a hetero image. Louisa and Bella are both on the down low. They're also a couple of Dick Lovers. Which is why I come to them every now and then for a sexual tune-up.
