I’m with you ele4phant!
Also, on the parking thing. In Atlanta, where we saw an overwhelming majority of black people, several (especially older guys) would like playfully tease people. I especially saw that on the streetcar, several passengers were making jokes at others expense. Like we went by this street fair thing, one of the guys said something about white people not being able to dance, etc. I found it funny, to be honest. Maybe the parking comment was something like that?
It reminds me of that movie, White Men can’t Jump, to be honest haha.
So I should have been offended the dozens of times people asked me on my recent US trip where I was from? And many of those times it was GASP black people doing the asking! And here I was thinking it was just friendly small talk.
What Cleo and Paco said.
If mimosa had started the thread saying she was worried because her BF lives in an area with a lot of shootings, etc etc, I don’t think anybody would have raised an eyebrow.
BUT she started the thread talking about the minorities in the neighbourhood. The shootings etc came up after we all said she was racist.
@muchacha great post! (as usual 🙂 )
One of my favourite things to hate is white people saying something isn’t racist or offensive. Um seriously?
Like the rascal said above, this has to do with respect. And app. mimosa doesn’t respect her BFs neighbours. /And she doesn’t respect her BF, to understand he doesn’t need a mommy.
Seriously, WWS
I think I’ve told this on here before, but I knew my husband through work, he asked me to the movies, and all through the movie and subsequent drinks I couldn’t tell if it was a date or just friendly. But he removed the doubt by giving me an AMAZING kiss when he dropped me off. And we may have made out a couple of hours. Ahem.I would never ask a guy if we were friends or dating, like Wendy said, he should SHOW you what his intentions are.
Seriously, Veritek and LadyE, do what Wendy said, pull away a little. DO NOT INITIATE CONTACT OR PLANS. And see if the guys step up. If not, their loss.
