I got new neighbors and they are black. should i be scared?
A new family just bought the house next door to me. Black people. They have three kids around the same age as our son and daughter. Their two boys were in my backyard playing basketball with my son before I'd even met their parents. My wife fix them all lunch and I saw my son laughing and chattering away with them as if he'd known them forever. My daughter and the young black girl were likewise chattering away like old friends. My wife got chummy with the mother very quickly as well. Me and the father have so far kept our distance. We've waved in the morning as we got in our cars going to work. The truth is that I'm wary of him and I think that he is wary of me. Could this be racial on both our parts? The women and the kids think nothing of being friendly but why are men of different races so wary of each other? Is this normal?
