growing up around whites and fitting in among black people has been mine. except for my family, the closest people to me have mostly been white. i can't remember one time when any of my white friends made me feel inferior or did something truly racist. but i can tell you plenty of times black kids made fun of my accent, dress, etc. i don't think any of them realized the impact it had, and i didn't either for a long time. i internalized that stuff and let it bring me down. eventually i learned to let it go and no longer have the need to identify with a group outside of my friends and family.
God you sound white.

Honestly going from Mandeville almost all white to a mostly black school was the best thing that could of happened. It set me up to understand how things look through others eyes.
Drinking is still the hardest thing I’ve every stopped. Everything involved drinking. Ive been to one football game since I quit 6 years ago and my preacher went with me.

No it doesn't upset me at all. You just come off as a very typical, sensitive, young white suburban male, with first world problems. You're influences are obvious and it's perfectly ok.
But I'll tell ya this though. Get in touch a little more with your blackness. Although you identify more with whites, the brothers might could toughen you up a bit. You seem to have some of these overly sensitive, white male traits and that's not a good thing.

Can't tell if sarcasm or stupidity.

Greatest emotional struggle for me was dealing with sexual abuse when I was a kid. I carried guilt with me even though it was not my choice. I think my dad being an alcoholic didn’t help me when I was growing up.
I still graduated college and have a nice career but I have had a lot of difficulty connecting with women for some reason. It breaks my soul being alone.

Being white and the assumption that I'm such a big racist
Don't even give me the chance to prove it
Just seems so wrong

lol... i was a D-1 athlete and I kill and catch all the meat i eat. 90% of the black men my age that i work with wouldn't last a whole day in the woods, let alone a week long solo backpack hunt.
not acknowledging your feelings doesn't make you strong, it makes you angry and bitter. the happiest black men i know, 2 of my uncles and grandfather are/were very emotionally open men whereas my dad isn't and i can see the differences in their relationships with family and friends and people in general.

It's neither.
This guy has a loving family and good, supportive friends. He was obviously raised in a white middle class/upper middle class lifestyle and his only gripe is that the people who share his skin color don't accept him.
If this is the "toughest emotional struggle" of his life, then he's either very very young or very very soft.
One day he'll find a real fricking problem. This racial/cultural conflict ain't it.

Over the course of a year (2010/11):
-got laid off from a ~5 year job
-found a new job a few months later making more money
-break up with a woman I'd dated for 4 years
-grandfather dies after long bout of Alzheimer's
-few weeks later, sister dies after long bout of liver disease due to alcoholism
-few weeks after that, get laid off of new, better job
Those last 3 things legit happened over about 40 days. I knew that I was going to respond by either becoming a depressed alcoholic (like my father that died when I was 18), or focus on improving my life. Decided on the latter and 3 years later I graduated with a degree in electrical engineering.

It's basically basic white girl lingo for major daddy issues and psycho.

lots of happy people struggle with money and lots of unhappy people have lots of it, money isn't what makes you feel good about yourself.
But, being accepted by people who are supposed to be your "brothers and sisters" is a huge deal to a kid. are you kidding me? you're going to tell me that if you were openly mocked and made fun of on a daily basis it wouldn't frick you up as a kid?

Watching my dad struggle through his stroke recovery the last 7 months. Cried uncontrollably in private for the first time in like 20-25 years. Seeing the improvement he makes is also kind of enlightening and a blessing at times, considering what the initial prognosis was, but knowing that he’ll never be whole again is tough.
Second would be watching my grandfather have a painful last 6 months when his cancer got into his bones.

My brothers suicide 10 yrs ago. I caused sever anxiety for a long time. We were really close and I never ever in a million years thought he was contemplating it as his business failed. I have found a way to move forward but still get stuck in ruts and go back to that day. At one point I got really deep into near death experiences, to the point where I wanted to die hoping that I would be able to see him and hear his voice. I had a very vivid dream about him a few weeks ago that I could smell him when I woke up. I could still feel the scruff on his face in my hands when I touched him in the dream. I was fricked up and an emotional wreck in the weeks since that night. Most times I wish he were murdered so I would at least feel like there was some sort of answer why he’s gone. It will be 10 yrs this July 13th. 10 days after his birthday.

I don't believe that happened to you "on a daily basis". Like I said you sound white, meaning you sound soft and drama laden.
Just sit with this for a moment. Your "greatest struggle in life" is having a loving, caring family and people not of your own race treating you with respect and dignity.
Now just marinate in that and when your done, go back through this thread and read some real fricking struggles.
It's a wonder alot of these folks haven't told you to go frick yourself.

Here's what it means. You need to emotionally toughen up. My guess is you were fricked with from time to time because you're a little soft around the edges. It was/is obvious to your black compadres you've never struggled with Jack shite.

There’s as many different types as there are stripes
