[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an AA woman. While I sometimes get upset at some of the things said about black people, I also find it quite interesting how (some) white people seem obsessed about black people (what we're doing, why we're doing it, etc).

It would be flattering if the intent wasn't so insulting. [/quote]

I'm interested in what you're doing and why you're doing it, only because I wish to know more, in order to get along better.

Your tendency to take offense at every turn is one of the things I'd like to understand. So hard to be friends with someone who assumes my intent is insulting. [/quote]

You misunderstand. It's insulting when the intent of the OP is not genuine. Questions like: why are black people ghetto/why are black women so loud/angry, etc. Not saying these are the exact topics here, but questions like these do not indicate a desire to get along.

And I'm not sure why there's a curiosity factor for you. You'd know more and get along by getting to know that individual person. All black people are not alike so understanding how some are won't really help you.

*Your comment "tendency to take offense at every turn" is telling. The old "chip on the shoulder " fallback is still alive and well. [/quote]
