I secretly don't trust white people.

You mean just like you are doing? You're doing exactly what you accuse white people of doing, so you have no place complaining, you hypocrite.

I'm white, in my 60s, and have lived long enough to know that untrustworthy people come in all shades and colors. That's not to say that racism isn't a problem. Choose your friends wisely, and they'll likely be lifelong one's regardless of their color.

I can relate to you feeling uneasy and out of place at that school. I've had similar experiences myself. Years ago I was invited by a coworker to visit her church whose congregation was mostly black. I felt like the odd man out. It had little to do with my being the only guy there who was white, but rather my immersion into a culture that was very alien to me. Frankly I think that all of us, regardless of race, have ethnocentric tendencies to varying degrees. These tendencies can cause feelings of distrust. When all was said and done, I came out from the church gathering feeling joyful, accepted, and loved.

Well, just love yourself f**k white and black if they don't like you you'll be able to tell threw their tone of voice of they rock with or not so chill love life and don't let them kill you even if you have to figure out how to fix your own car etc...

The world will never change for the better as long as white people exist. A white genocide is the only way to improve the world.

You are a ** idiot.

Nobody trusts Liberal white people, they are parasitic

LOL.

Consider why those same white people dont reflect kindly on you, while your compatriots Burn, Loot and Murder but you choose to focus on how they don't trust you?

Deflect much?

Sitting behind a keyboard and being racist.. so sad

Sitting behind a keyboard and denying reality…such a stooge.

Coming from person with melanated skin I take advantage of the situation going to that's cool and capitalize on the education and once you're done and return to the real world find friends who will uplift but I would not second guess myself or anybody just because of skin color.

I’m white and have taught diverse students for years. I think your feelings are perfectly valid and understandable. The reality is that some white people are very much that way. Also the. Reality is that some black people also stereotype and make fun of white people. Different races have probably done that throughout history...it’s not nice but probably human. Anything that’s different like culture or physical appearance seems to stir up dumb, shallow people.

Your fear is my concern. Be careful not to obsess on the bad news about race relations too much. The good stuff doesn’t make the news. And there’s plenty of good stuff. Talking to a counselor might help. My suggestion is get to know each person individually. Everyone is different and has their own mind, thoughts and feelings. I had not been around many black students before I started teaching at a very diverse Christian school and after all these years, there are black students I love as much as if they were my own child. Because they weren’t any different in their mind and heart than white students or my own child. There were many, many close black and white
friendships and a few even married.

My son had a mostly white wedding with 5 groomsman, two whom were black. His bride had 5 bridesmaids and one was Persian. They all had a fantastic time and I could ask for better best friends for my son.

There are lots of black and white people that will love and cherish you...find those relationships and your fears will subside over time. Don’t let fear control you. Pray about it and I will pray for you too.

I meant “couldn’t ask for better friends. Teachers should proofread their writing!

If you focus on color and race it will make you no different. Go to the college and excel. Make a future for yourself and strive to become successful no matter what. The higher up the ladder you move in society the less you'll ever deal with what you are feeling right now. I know because I was there and now run my own business now and am getting ready to run for the county I live in. Not only am I a minority but I have had to deal with being disabled and have learn to overlook and overcome all the name calling I went through in life. Societies low end of the scale always blame their issues on something..."I'm black, I was born poor, I'm fat, no one wants to hire me, I'm too [fill in the blank]. Be better than that. Change the cycle.

Fantastic reply. The more we adults model appropriate behavior and practice GENUINE love for others the more it will change over time. I think that America will be so racially mixed over The next few generations that it just won’t be as much of an issue.

This isn’t about focusing on race, race defines everything, if you don’t know that, then your ignorant or willfully ignorant....either way, it’s understanding where you can excel, frankly, the author is 100% right....the ignored bias of white privilege needs generations of work....maybe these are inherently human and will never be resolved, I’m of the later option....go hang out with your own kind....they will respect, understand and hold your hand as you excel...let your life experience be your guide.

Old but now very relevant.

Lol at all you sorry individuals who live in some anti-black conspiracy.

You are clueless. I am an Asian American and white people always think I don't understand what they're saying. So, as you can guess--they talk freely even though I'm standing right next to them. And man, they say ** about black people ALL THE TIME.

I feel it man. I’m white myself, but white patents and family are just as ** up to their kids and friends as they are to everyone else.

It’s actually funny. My family makes $300,000 a year, and I’m in college worried about making rent because they won’t pay for **. They don’t even care man. I’m on my own, and so are my brothers. It’s a shame.

Bwahaha. I literally lol'd. Ty

Whine a little harder, self-entitled mope.
Try to ** some of your participation trophies.

Without That Gun, The White Man Is The Weakest Organism On The Planet
That's all you got devil, without it, you like a naked virgin walkin the earth.......No need for even a debate....Just lettin you devils know......

Sure buddy

Good. Good. Let the hate flow through you

I can't lie I do like how they keep their community clean.
I teach my son to never live in the hood but keep a mentality that it's not always a bad environment as the news makes it out to be.

Eat a bag of ** dipped in ** loser

The Blacks, making excuses for everything to avoid trying. Whites were owned as slaves, Chinese were killed to make the railroads, Japanese died in camps during WWII, the Germans killed jews by the truckloads, Indians and Pakis kill one another daily, the Italians and Irish were hated for years in America, yet the American Blacks still cry about everything and make every excuse to not succeed. Without Democrats and social welfare, you'd be in Africa killing each other piece of **.

You the d

You sound stupid. Have you ever looked at the stats on gun gun violence and race?

More fodder from a mental **.

I know what you mean I can't be that way either because they are always up to something and I think they have a problem with their cellphones and they are so mean, I think they are disgusting and I think they are stupid because they have always been, and I think they will always be complete jerks and dorks. Some of my family members in my reunion are white, but nothing against them anyway they are trouble, smoking nasty, and polluting things careless of black people they used to be good only some of them but now it's limited. Why? I don't know, I'm very outraged by what they think these days "CRAZY."

I’m white. Sounds like those family members are just trashy people. At least you only have to see them if you go to a reunion.

Interesting

I'm Never ever trust My white husband
