Yep, two of my best friends are white and my two cousins who are really great friends of mine too. My friends are from elementary school, I was one of the few "diverse" kids in my school lol..

I guess an elementary mess is different. 

I honestly have no white friends.  I only ever deal with them at work.  And it's funny, because growing up, all I had was white and Latino friends.  The first half of my social life vs. now is so funny.   :kii:

Do you and your white friends ever talk about race issues?  Or what's been going on in the world?  Do you think white people truly understand or is it "Awwwww!" empathy mess out?

No .

I just don't see myself really hanging out with White people like that. Nothing wrong with it but even in the office when conversation strays away from work I find myself slightly irritated with them if even one word is off.

There's just a connection I have with POC that I cannot have with a White person so I don't genuinely see myself being friends with them. I'm just used to be around Black people and Hispanic people mostly and that's who I connect with most. I can let my guard down and have a real conversation without worrying about whether they'll slip up and offend me and mess.

!!!!

:oof:

Fro, I usually fuck with the shit you say.  But then I remember we're both Cancers.  :sistas:

I have plenty of white acquaintances but I've noticed distancing myself a lot more recently. It's draining enough to have to lecture family members about social issues every time we see each other so I don't have the energy to entertain "friends" the same way. I don't mind knocking someone off their high horse but I feel like if they really cared, they'd research on their own and answer some of their own non-empathetic questions..

UGH!

I know that's right, Queen! 

Especially about the family part.  I was preaching down at our last family gathering, and I had the entire room shook.  I get so passionate about this mess sometimes.  The turning point for me was the Trayvon Martin case.  I became so attached to that trial, and when Zimmerman got off, I never had such an emotional reaction to something totally unrelated to me before.

And the spiral of racial mess kinda kicked into over gear ever since then.

I still get emotional talking about the Trayvon case.

But YEAH.

I can't do the whites.

Part of me feels compelled to enlighten and to make it better for the next person but it's also not my job. A lot if it is common sense but they're just looking for ways to make it about themselves and get people to agree with them..
