re: Quora Response to What's something that sucks about being white?

quote:

---

There are some white people who don’t know how to act around black people, because they don’t see and interact with them on a daily basis like most SEC country folk do. If you have any friends like that, it can be really embarrassing. They can’t help themselves but to steer topics into the uncomfortable direction of oppression to make themselves look good, but all it comes off as is someone exposing their own white savior fantasies which can be very off putting.

Very frickin true,those of us that work for a living,have the same stuff to talk about with each other,and it comes natural,w/o race ever being a consideration.
Somebody who feels that they have to bridge a gap? I guess their life must make them feel guilty about something.


Why would anybody downvote this? Mutual respect is the goal right?
I can't bring my self expectations down,and I would struggle to communicate with anyone of a different mindset. It's not my place,their parents were supposed to do that.
