why talk to whites.......?

[jamesfrmphilly]

about a year or two ago i stopped talking to white people.
i decided it was a waste of my time.
does anyone else share my sentiment?

I will only talk to them if its absolutely necessary. Im at a point in my life where I wonder if i can even go back into the job/education market and not want to just kill them or make a comment about them that will knock them off their high horse

it is legitimate to talk to them in a business or work situation.
we all have to survive.
but in a social situation i no longer do it.

even though black people sometimes give me a hard time i still feel more comfortable with them now.

I must say James, when I first read this post, I giggled. I giggled because this is a statement I may make with my family and/or friends as we're speaking of race, etc. Something I may say, but I've never really pondered or given serious thought.

I don't think I've made a conscious effort of not speaking to white people. I have my issues with them, so I go to work, do my thing, and leave. I don't make it a point to speak to, or to not speak to, while folk. I just do me, and whatever happens, happens.

Then sometimes I feel like I shouldn't judge but rather see people like Jesus saw people, as people, not as colors/races. I think that is where I fall short as a Christian, so I'm working on it.

Only time will tell......

How's it working for you james?

i only talk to them when i have to at work. other than that i don't go out of my way to socialize with them

I don't really have to associate with too many white people on a daily basis around here, but I do not go out of my way to speak or not to speak to them because of their color... or lack of. I speak to whoever I feel when I feel.

i feel more relaxed these days.
i was moved by the brothers saying they were on another site fighting with the white boys.
i used to do that myself.
then one day i just said, what the f**k.
i ain't got much time left and i don't want to waste it.

is it worth our energy to argue with them?
can we ever win such a fight?
