It was neither pleasant nor flattering.
Having long been allergic to any interaction with pompous assholes. I put an end to the rather one sided conversation by stating "Sorry hon, I don't date outside my species" and hopefully thought that was that.
But the end was not in sight! Now I find I am being accused of being a racist. It seems our sports news commentator is incapable of distinguishing between the words "species" and "race". Now, let me state for the record that I have, and in all probability will again, dated and bedded a variety of different races of men. Men, being the key word here. I have yet to stray outside of the human species to say, wolfhounds or holsteins. As cute as animals are, I'm just not that into them.
What confuses me in this situation, is what playing the race card will gain for my new suitor. It's not as if he was turned down for a job or apartment whereby he could file a suit and have a court official order me to copulate with him. Furthermore in order to press his case it will have to come out that he believes I have spurned him because he is black. If this is made known, I am sure that his wife, children and probably the PR folk at his news station will want to know why he is quizzing men in locker rooms as to whether they will sleep with him or not, and how much race plays a factor in deciding.
Is anyone really going to come out the winner here?

Playing the race card takes his rejection and urns it into Your problem.
If it becomes a real issue, just tell him "I apologize if I offended you." And then give him a paperback dictionary with the words highlighted.
Either that, I introduce him to your African American date.
Lesson learned: next time just say, "Eeeewww!!!" really loudly.
Just tell him you're actually black.
That'll confuse him.
