Is it normal to be black and have little to no black friends?

Very wise of you, indeed.

Sounds alright with me, it just seems like you want to be part of the right crowd.

(tl:dr this if you want) Its normal but let me clear some things up for some who are commending you for making the "right choice" as if its something we want to have to do. I'm black and I too don't have a lot of black friends. You want a male friend? Be prepared to be a wannabe thug, talk about what you'd like to do to girls all day and live a life of conformity and crime. You want a female friend? Be prepared for ghetto and loud conversations with "twerking" the cool way to attract males. This is TRUE and I'm not about to sugarcoat this fact.

But I believe that history is to blame, yes. "But Paradiddle, slavery was so long ago so its no lon-" bullcrap. Taking us away from where we came from, black people today don't even THINK about our culture and no one celebrates it because we don't even know what our cultures were, but other races still do because no one tampered with it. We have it tough, getting negative thoughts all day without doing anything and whether we act "black" or not, we get accused of being bad or acting white. I think the thug stuff spawned simply because of the constant daily struggles other races don't go through.

But who is dominating sports? Who started jazz? What did Martin Luthor King, Luthor Vandross, Bill Cosby and Obama have in common, right down to the way they talk? This is how black people really are and "can" be, some of us just think we have to conform and not all of us are like that. Its normal OP, when we act like thugs, we're doing nothing but hurting our own race and image in the way we're expected to. Good ones are out there and its even tougher for us to even make friends, but we can do it.

Why do you even care?

I say Compton is waiting for you... The glocks.. The Ak's..

The hoes, the dope. What are you waiting for?

Yes white girls are usually scared of black guys. Its pretty common tbh

i think this it's perfectly fine, almost all of my friendship groups are white or oriental Asian, i know black people and i hang out with my cousin sometimes and to be honest even though i don't think any of them are that ghetto i can understand what you mean to a certain extend because i always have to act differently around the black people to "Fit in". i guess its just due to what you've grown up with and are more comfortable with.

Sounds like you are looking for the approval of your choices. Your choices are yours....do as you wish... -.-

Finally some one understands I am in the exact same situation.

this is called being antiblackbanger

I think it's not so much about it being normal but about the fact that it's not abnormal either. You are obviously an individual who picks and chooses who they associate with and that's what really matters. You are associating with human beings (whatever the race) so completely normal. I am someone in my mid thirties who seems to connect better with people in their fifties and sixties, all about personal preference.
