This what a person wrote...
And this is what I said..
Notice how I got a minus 7. I checked, everyone who gave me a minus point is White, but the guy who wrote it is White, but he didn't give me a negative vote. Hmmm?
I went and private Message him, a young kid, I wanted to ask him questions... But only if there was one of his parents around to read what I was typing, but he was ti answer it all on his own. He had his mother looking over his shoulder.
Some where along the way, he said my mother said to call me, and he typed out his number and I called. She answered, she said this way is much better. I asked does he get harassed in his neighborhood since it's almost all Black, he said no. Do Black people harass you in school, since you go to school in the hood, again he said no. I asked so where is your statement..what made you say that. He said...
When. My friends come to visit me, the Black people bother them and call them.names. His friends told him about it. And they say some 'stupid stuff's about Black people. He said they use to say it all the time when he lives in his old neighborhood and would be hanging out with them.
I said, so what's the difference between your friends saying it about Black people and Black people saying it about your White friends..to their face. He said..'Well the Black people don't hear it from them, we say it around each other.' His mother yelled what?!!
I asked, do you consider some of those Black people to be your friends? With no hesitation he said yeah, we cool. I told him...you just don't know how cool you're about to become over some years in the future.I also told him to ask some of the Black guys who say things about White people, why do they say that and listen to what they say. Ask because you want to know for your own good.
He told me his mother wanted to talk to me. She is a single parent, husband left her. She had to live somewhere that is affordable. She told me it's nice, quiet and clean and that her son calls it a ghetto because mostly Black people live here.Her son has had no problems or issues living here from day one, and they have been living there for two years.
I told her I had to go and she asked can she call me from time to time to just talk. Sure why not. They live in Indiana.
