Cool Like Dat
but not really...
You know those black people who are only cool to white people? They're mostly mixed and they grew up in a rural Ne town and went to school with only whites? One day in jr high they discovered that being black was cool, but they had no idea why, or how? They are completely at ease being black around white people, but black people freak them right out?
I ran into five of them today. And they all went out of their way to ignore me.
And I couldn't be mad.
*sigh*

I don't know if I have noticed this - I'm fairly sure this is likely because I AM white, though. Now that post is food for thought for me.
I think it may be a regional thing, but one of the reasons I can't be mad is because I was like that to a certain extent.
My black friends were my church friends and I really didn't start to have a great load of black friends until Jr High and High School, and definitely College.
Just a side note. It's odd that my best friends now are the ones I met in college in the one year I was there.
Update: We just the king of these kinds of black people in our valet department. He refuses to have anything to do with me, and he's scared to death. It's sad.
again, being white and non-american, i am intrigued by this phenomenon
where i live, white kids want to be 'black' because being black is so cool
thank you for the insight!
