Is it normal that i forget that i'm black?
This is less about being black, and more about forgetting that I'm anything other than the people that I hang around. If I'm with a crowd of white people for an extended period of time, I forget that I'm not white until I look down at my hand or catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and it surprises me that I'm black.
There are also times when it doesn't matter who I'm with, I simply forget about the idea of race until I'm reminded of it again.
This may be an odd/confusing post, but does anyone (regardless of "race") understand what I mean?
