Do you associate with white people on a social level?

Do you have close friends that are white? If so do you feelthey can relate to you?

Do you feel comfortable in displaying your cultural backgroundaround her?

Reason i ask is that i read an article in Pride magazine a couple of months ago regarding "sisterhood" between black and white women, commenting on whether a true friendship can occur regardless of the color lines.

I myself have no objections in associating or being friends with white people or any other race for that matter. I do have a few white and asian friends. Does this make me a sell out?

Also as im slowly moving towards the working environment i know i will be engaging with white society on a regular basis, so its only right to respect that fact.

What do you think?

I aimed this at women, but men are welcome also. niceone.gif

Thanks for both of your responses, but on a generallevel do you feel there can be a bond between the two races, without stating the obvious reasons as to why itwouldn't work out?

Well from no fault of my own i do not live with my biologial parents or family and was actually raised by a white family, by the choice of my natural mother. In growing up i found it increasingly difficult in expressing myself in terms of my culture as of course i wasnt surrounded by it. But the bond i have with the women who raised me who i call my mother is a very stong one despite the racial difference. I make fun at her by calling her a wigger cos she is so ghetto n basically black its just not funny.

But in living in the area many of my friends are white and, i dont know ther is a bond cos she is my friend but she doesnt really understand the cultural difference, its like they know i am black but seem to feel they can disregard my culture cos i have always been surrounded by white people. Like "yeah we know your black, but you were born here?" sorta effect, which kinda annoys me

so i dunno

fazuanyeah i can understand your point completly about the friend, i dont know why its just that i have alot of black friends to that i can identify straight away with, but with my white friends sometimes their is something in them that makes themjust say or act in particular ways which isnt bad its just the cutlure clash.

Like me my two white friends and a asian friend were watching save the last dance and my white friend went ape and called the movie a sham cos it was racist against***white ***peoplecosof a comment that ws passed about the girl in the movie.

Another time a friend fussed me out cos i purchased a natural haircare book to learn about my hair, cos the way she saw it why would you need to read about your hairconfused2, although she understands my hair is complete opposite to her, the way she saw it was in that respect my culture it was unjustified, cos in hers she wouldnt do it, although she buys hair care magazines, man did she get cussed out
