why torture yourself and live around all white people?

My upbringing and the end of it cancelling it out, making my comfort have turbulence. Now that you asked, It’s the stubborn have to conquer it kind of thing. I’m the type of dude who will not stop till I get a resolution, but I haven’t matured int the dude who will stop when there’s no reward from it. I guess some will call it denial. I think I’m at that crossroad right now.

You let people call you whitewashed to your face?

Edit: You're a goofy troll.

I told by white wife, who is over 25, that the black community claims white women age like milk and it's all downhill after 25. She said why am I even with you, all you ever do is talk shyt. Mind you I don't, but I joke one time and she wants to divorce. Not even fukking around, 5 minutes later she's trying to cuddle with me saying how much she loves me.

Another time we at Walmart, I curve over to get something from an aisle cuz I'm gonna bake my kids a cake. They had to go do something else and wife was rushing me, I told her just go do you what you gotta do I'll catch up. She tells the kids "c'mon girls, let's go... Since you daddy doesn't want you around".... Wtf?

Let me let you in on a secret Breh….These crackers are scared shytless of black men. Like seriously. I have yelled at random crackers and seen them look like they seen a ghost. Like they really be petrified. Don’t ever be apprehensive around them. They the scary ones. Please believe that.

So just speak up when you have a problem and go from there. Confront the person or issue the moment it happens. Don’t have to go around choking people out. But be a man and speak up for yourself

That’s EXACTLY what I’ve been doing a good two decades of my life. I never wanted people to feel threatened around me so I always lowered my volume of my voice so I wouldn’t sound so demanding or powerful. To add a side to that, I would lower my shoulders, concave my chest in, and lower my head so I didn’t ‘stand so tall’ . I wouldn’t wear muscle shirts or fitted clothes. I didn’t want anyone to think I was shoplifting, so I always keep my hands out of my pockets. I’ll take it a step further, check this, if I was on the phone I would make sure people around me would see me put my phone in my pocket, so they know it wasn’t an item.

Just needed some feedback, some teachers to help sort me. Promise I’m not trolling, but I’m gonna take off now. This was good advice, as was others.

Last thing you need to do is avoid enjoying your home. Spend time in your yard. Go for walks. Chill in the garage. The only way to deal with passive aggressive racism is to put it on the guilty/innocent scale. You aren't breaking any laws, you aren't a criminal, you live in a new town in a place you bought/rent/whatever. You aren't guilty of anything so why feel guilty? There's a liberating feeling to knowing you...did nothing wrong. So act like it man.

When I was in college, I used to work at my dad's business on the weekends when it was closed. I didn't live far away so sometimes I'd just walk there. After I was doing work, say around 3PM, I'd leave. Now this business was on a relatively busy street, so when I'd walk out and lock the door, I'd be visible to every car driving by, anyone walking by, businesses to the left and right side of the road, etc. I'd lock the door, walk down the stairs, head towards the sidewalk and then make my way home. Yea being a black man in that situation, I knew people were looking at me because I certainly stood out as a black guy going in/out of a nice office building. I'm sure if a cop drove by and saw me they might pull into the lot and question me. But I'd casually lock up and leave every time no matter who was staring because I knew I was doing nothing wrong. Yea part of me was concerned about the eyeballs looking at me. But I wasn't stealing, I had my wallet, my last name matched the last name on the sign, etc.

One time as I locked up and started walking towards the sidewalk, I noticed a white woman talking on the phone. She was staring directly at me as I walked towards her. I could tell she must have been walking by as I came out the office and locked up. I knew she was calling the cops. But I kept walking, gave her a nod and said hi, and walked by. She never stopped staring as I passed her on the sidewalk. Cops never came - and mind you, my walk home was at least 5 miles or so. Plenty of time for cops to find my ass, if they were coming. Didn't break a sweat because I knew I didn't do anything wrong.

You have to learn how to be a passive aggressive a$$hole just like them.

At a place I used to work a Mexican dude used to always call me the name of another black dude who worked there.

Every time I saw him I called him Carlos.
His name wasn't Carlos.


I used to work at Target. In the warehouse.

I was in the back of the truck unloading stuff and my boss says to me

"man it's so dark back there I almost couldn't see you"

I wait until I come out the truck and tell him:

"You got to be careful too. You got a red shirt, a red hat, and a red neck."

Everybody starts laughing.

He ends up coming up to me and apologizes.

He still works at Target. I don't.

Don't let anything slide. You don't have to be violent or overreact either.

From random people? Ignore it/them like they aren't even there.

From businesses? Stop going there and giving them my money.
