Being the only black guy in a group.

[How Sway?]

i grew up around a lot of messicans and most of the stuff you guys said is true

I'ts almost like when it comes to black people, some of them (not all) got a superiority complex but an inferiority complex at the same time

..

work, college etc........i been in that situation many times


u just gotta have thick skin, know how too pick ur battles...and never be ashamed of ur background...yeah u will get mocked and hit with jabs at times, but let it roll off and fire back, dont get mad unless ur really disrespected ...dont feel the need to conform or be extra "nonthreatening" because white ppl are far from stupid, theyll see through and exploit it

college full of white people

gets black roomate

in college we had this summer program with people mostly from new york city, so everyone from the group just became roomates and shyt so we didn't have to go through that awkward stage in freshman year

Yeah, and I enjoyed every second with them PAWGS

This is going to be me later on today. Going to a house of a co-worker. Going to not only be the only black person, but I'm going to be the youngest by at least ten years. They are cool peeps though.

 

[ProfessionallyTrill]

In high school.

I've mentioned before I stopped fukkin wit circles of other races cuz that racist shyt ALWAYS ends up comin out. Gotta at least have another brotha w/ me if I gonna chill with non-Blacks. Ijs

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

I don't care. If the ppl are ok then it's ok. It's not color to me, it's culture and being able to relate

 

[Deadpool1986]

Off topic... Why in the Phuck wont they let me make my own thread

Its because you're still new, I think you need at lest 30 post before you can make your own thread.

As long as you don't feel like that is an accomplishment, then you should be aight

spot on. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of this
My uncle once said that phrase "when keeping it real goes wrong" became popular, that gave more excuses for koooning

You ever been in that awkward moment where you're the only black guy in a group.

when i was younger like elementary school i used to be the only black kid in my class and it would be very awkward especially living in east texas.

 

[Mowgli]

Try being the only interracial couple in a black group where everybody thats black is dark as fukk.

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

At college mah class was da biggest dey had up to dat point. 300. Out of 300, it was 8 black folk. Only 4 of us graduated.

Mah job industry is comprised of nothing but Asians n white folks. Whenever I do come across another brotha(VERY rarely) dey usually are on some nerdtastic lame oreo type steez.

It is what it is.

 

[ThatTruth777]

Yep. It was like this for me.I'll do my share of the work, hell and if it come down to it I'll do the whole fukking thing . I had to do that a couple times for some groups. Other groups its like I felt they didn't trust me to get the work done. I'm a friendly dude too but I'm not super open like that initially.

I've never hung out with white people actually. I went to school in the hood so it was zero white people here and then when I went to work it was mostly black people there too. College had white people there but again I hung out with only black dudes.
