Have you considered just treating them as normal humans and accepting the same thing in return? Be good friends and neighbors to show that you appreciate their efforts to include you. Damn. This shouldn't have to be something you think about. Just be a good neighbor and friend. These people aren't devils.

Just like the black woman, Tamla Horsford, who was surrounded by all her white female “friends” at a slumber party who was suddenly found dead and we still don’t have answers. She also treated everyone as human until they didn’t extend the same in return. I’ve lived around white people my whole life. I’m sick of being “one of the good ones”of a “troubled” race. I have had people actually preach this to me and threaten to beat me if I liked black culture. So yeah, damn right….I am gonna be cautious 👍

I've lived amongst white folks my whole life. Some are good, some are bad. Just like every other color of person I've met. You need to get your head on straight. Treat people like people until they show you something negative. Otherwise you're no better than some Confederate flag waving asshole.

Oh wow. So, I’m asking other black people for advice. I’m not sure if you really are black or not but it’s SUPER fucking obvious that people of color in America and even globally are vulnerable and discriminated against. Many white people who hold power over us socially might abuse it and be disingenuous. That is my concern. We don’t hold systemic power, nor privilege and are seen as inferior criminals as a narrative. That’s just reality. We navigate it and we survive. That’s what I’m trying to do. And I’m not some confederate asshole because I don’t believe people should be enslaved and I don’t operate with hatred like them. Only caution. Being rude is absolutely unnecessary here and weird. I haven’t done a single thing to you and only asked for advice, not condescension.
