Is it normal:that i feel uncomfortable around white people?

Im sorry if this comes off as racist.Im black and i feel so uncomfortable around white people.Like when i was younger i lived in three white suburban areas and it was so ackward for me.Also when i was in school i sometimes would be the only black chick in the whole honors class..and the rest would be white and asian.I feel safe around my own..thats why i would choose a black area any day...now i know the trolls in here may come in here and say something stupid like im ghetto and prolli sell drugs but idgaf.The feeling of being uncomfortable around white is not a concious thought...it just instinct for me.So is it normal?black people? Wassup dogs!!! Lol sorry i had to shoutout to my peeps!

    Did the white people you used to live next to do something to make you feel uncomfortable or was it your own insecurities that made you feel awkward?

    You know, actually come to think of it, if I was the single white person in a class surrounded by people that ACTED a lot different than me, I would feel weird. And not meaning to sound racist, but whenever I would witness a group of black youngsters banded together, they did tend to act way differently than I did... so I never felt comfortable to include myself into their social gatherings... I just wouldn't fit in... so id say its pretty normal.

    • No they didnt do anything bad..i just felt uncomfortable because they was white point blank...then again i kinda feel uncomfortable around non blacks in general.I used to have non black friends but prefer my own race exclusivly for friendship..no racist tho...i just dont see the point being friendly to other races.And i wasnt raised this way so i have no idea

        Lol chew on this for a moment - maybe you were incarnated in this life only to learn from black people. Maybe you were white in a previous life and hated how they treated the blacks...now you learning to be black...

    "i just dont see the point being friendly to other races,"

    This ^. Then don't. I don't know what kind of message you're trying to push through but all I know is you do sound racist.

    • You dont have to tell me twice lol.I just dont feel the need to be aquinted with people who look nothing like me.Divided we fall united we stand.I prefer to be united with my own...just in case some shit goes down.Being around other races feels distant and icy cold and really ackward.And i basically grewout of being around other races..its just not normal for me.Integration was the worst thing that happen to blacks

        I'm white and I just moved into an all black neighborhood. Would you hate me if I was your neighbor?
        It does feel awkward but if my neighbors don't mind I think I'll mind either.

        So you it's not really that you feel "uncomfortable" around other races is it? Honestly, you need to expand your worldview. I don't say this to anyone, ever but I think you give black people a bad name.

        Fake edit : btw you spell bad for someone doing their honors.

        Yeah integration was so bad...they couldn't stand on equal foot with whites in business opportunities...what you telling me that if someone is black and have the same profession as a white person they cannot compete on a commercial level. Because now you only racist to and trolling yourself.

      Obviously something very sinister went on in this one's upbringing environment to hate white people so much...her ancestors must be a bunch of haters filled with nothing but bile...and it carried over to her...she must be ashamed of herself...she is truly shallow.

  • Racism is something I never understood.

    I'm a white guy living in what some have declared the most racially diverse as well as sexually diverse place in the world.

    Whenever I hear from people out of town about racism I am always amazed these things still go on. It's actually really stupid when you think about it.

    I feel perfectly comfortable around black people or any other race. I have friends from all race groups and I enjoy hearing about peoples different cultures and eating food from around the world.

    I don't understand why there are so many closed minded places in the world.

    Personally I would love to live in a world where there were more civilized species besides humans like it is on star wars and other sci-fi/fantasy worlds.

      Where I work I have to tolerate black people and keep them out of jail...she would probably want a white legal presentative too when the black attorneys refuse to help her due to her attitude problems.

      You know what I think? It is their mommies and daddies that made them afraid of white people with constant brainwashing racial slurs since they were born...like ours did with us....it is not hate but a deepseated fear for the unknown. Anyhow where I work...black and white attorneys work together or they don't get no money...also just because someone is black don't mean I am not going to go do my job because my fear of black people prevails over seeing justice prevail. This girl that posted this thread is stupid....she has not lived long enough and I doubt she ever had a taste of the real world...she lives in a protective environment sheltered from the unknown she obviously cannot face.

    Honors student thinking; I'll be much safer in "a black area any day", with the gangs, drug sellers and poverty all around you, than a white middle class neighborhood. Yeah, I guess that's why so many black families struggle so hard to move OUT of those black areas.

    Completely normal, and it's exactly how PoS black parents raise their children. They instill a hate for the white man, anything that happens to you is because of the white man, white man will treat you less because you are black, you will always be judged by the color of your skin, and their dated victim complex is passed onto you.
    Blacks are the biggest racists in this country.

    Hi,

    I read your IIN question and felt compelled to respond only because I can relate in more ways than one. I feel extremely uncomfortable around white people. I'm a normally very talkative person, happy go lucky and pretty cool, but around white people, I feel judged, small, self-conscious, isolated and different --> all at the same time. They speak to each other normally but my every word feels predetermined, thought out and external to myself. As if I'm talking to a wall and not to people: a wall of judgement where anything I say will be used against me. It's like two people are talking at the same time, vying against one another: me & censored me (yet there's nothing to be censored, but I feel that way). A lot of people would call it the residual affects of oppression, especially as my role isn't that of a leader (yet). So I feel as if I'm walking around on thin ice...where they constantly seek to prove the futility of any work I do. I would likely talk, rather openly, like the white girl that comes in sometimes does in her obnoxiously loud way, but I partake in none of their conversations, and those that others try to include me in, I get flashes of a Tom (usually only included in their conversations for the kicks or for some trivial buffer or the other). My response is usually slight as a result. I'm not racist of course, but I definitely feel more comfortable around pretty much any race aside from white people, due to this. Even sitting next to them makes me uncomfortable. It seems like they're every motive in life is to belittle others in some way. Like they get off on it. It's the entire American white culture. I know, not every white person is that way, but it feels like 90% of them are and I know based on current events,, that we're living in very racist times, whether people want to admit it or not. Yes, its post 60s, but there's still a lot to be done so Black/Brown/Orange people don't have to always feel this way everywhere we go in America.

      You are very prejudiced. White folks in black countries have it worse - your inferiority complex multiplied by 10 that seeks to demonize whites at all costs. You use this complex to bully and belittle whites. I don't see how this makes you the better person in this situation!

        No one said anything about an inferiority complex, I honestly think some of you are pure pieces of shit, only some, of course. It's funny how you're quick to mention how a white person feels in a black country. I wonder if apartheid had anything to do with it. By the way, in case you failed to realize, America isn't a white country so your analogy doesn't work.

        Trying to invalidate my feelings won't work because you're not the one experiencing it.
