[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want black friends, go get some black friends. Justify it however you want.

Just remember that if you want to see legitimate change in racial tensions and racial relations, the way to do it is not to shut out the other race. It is to be forthcoming with your challenges and open to conversation. It is 100% fair to be emotionally fatigued and not able to listen to someone’s daily minutiae. It is on you to say that. It is also on you to reach out to a friend and talk about how you’re feeling, sometimes without even being asked. If you don’t say anything, how do you expect others to understand your feelings?[/quote]

So as usual its always on the POC to have the emotional strength to explain their struggle to whites. And to say it gently so they don't get defensive. And for sure don't be the Angry Black Woman because that is bad....for some reason...
Maybe just maybe whites could look at all the protests and look inside themselves for a millisecond and try to figure out how their friend feels.[/quote]
