I have a small cousin who only likes one white person and that’s his friend from pre-school. Anyone else? They get the side eye and tight lips. He’ll even scoot away when they get near him, but not his boy from pre-school. He’ll tell you “David is my favorite friend. We’re gonna drive race cars and fire trucks together.” No one can figure out for why he’s like that. His parents said they’re just happy he’s not a jackass toward them and he’s still young enough to be in that stage where little people just don’t like strangers, so hopefully he’ll grow out of it.
ENY – that’s a good story too – yours too dona! – santa is scary to anyone though ENY – ha!
I didn’t have any black friends until I was 15 and I went crazy for rap and started to watch Video Music Box obsessively and bought my first rap tape which was Queen Latifah’s -“All Hail The Queen” and I was immersed in Black pride and it was amazing – it really taught me a lot about black culture and struggle – it also helped that I had an awesome mom who was a teacher and she was involved in our town’s local “play troupe” so she had black friends that would come over and they would all sing together, practice their lines and paint posters to advertise upcoming plays and musicals. I just feel lucky in one sense when I do have a kid how rich their life will be growing up with two great families and yet how tough it might be for them trying to find their way in the world as both white…and black…..
Bxgrl- I knew you would reply more eloquently than I – good words!
“I might even go so far as to categorize her as a slumpbuster. That’s a person one doesn’t really want to sleep with, but will do so simply in order to get out of a sexual drought”
As I said. Exactly why she’s just right for me. My drought makes the Gobe Desert look like an Iowa corn field.
I have a dental appointment tomorrow. Why can’t they knock me out for these things? I have so much anxiety over these appointments.
I get my teeth cleaned every three months. And I get nitrous oxide. I don’t need anymore damn character building experiences. When I found out they had gas I said bring it on. And turn it up to the MAX.
Lots of kids (e.g. my godchildren, who are white) are terrifed of Santa at first. May have been a racial thing in your case, but it’s often just a Santa thing.

I get nitrous oxide every three months. I clean my own teeth.
