I am not surprised. I have met some white people, who have strange ideas about us, and I have made roughly two friends who learned and adjusted to the idea that we have a lot more than what the papers and tv culture keep pushing about us.
As a white person, I will admit to complete ignorance of black culture beyond what I see and sometimes read in the news. I see a people with an incredibly strong community spirit and desire to be a community instead of all us white folks locked up in our own little house and not knowing our neighbors. And I read stories of very tight family bonds and the sacrifices that some parents make to help their kids get ahead. Not so much in our world, sadly. I know we can be a bunch of arrogant privileged jerks but please keep trying to give us a chance. As you have found, there a few of us who are willing to learn.

@textech wow, where to begin with what an idiotic post that is…
you do realize that both black and white folks come in more than one flavor, right? no, apparently you don’t…
