Real Talk...

I would think anytime you walk into a large gathering of black folks, you should simply announce loudly and clearly...

"It's OK, I act black so I have honorary status. Keep doing what you were doing. I brought Gin n Juice and some watermelon."

I suspect you will definitely get a lively reception.

Recognize I come from the Bay Area in CA, with SF and Oakland, something Dave Chappelle once said was "perfect for what people because they just put all the black people in Oakland and make them come to San Francisco". People here seem to be the masters of the white nice and make an effort to prove they're not racist by being patronizing.

I feel like I just want to treat everyone the same, but other white people will call me racist if I do. HELP!!

Me too. But do you also believe in Unicorns?

SF PC drives me insane.

I know the feeling very well. I think one of the best ways around this is to continue treating everyone equally. People will drown in their own misconceptions eventually, it's how things work.

Either that, or they asphyxiate on the same hypocritical bullshit they spew on a regular basis. I keep it moving.

Is it true Black people use wash cloths in the shower instead of using soap directly on the body?

In my case, yes. I am pretty hairy (on my arms and legs, use hair remover for pubes because pubes are pointless), and a microfiber washcloth is highly effective at removing oils and dirt from the pores.

I am partial to Fiji/After Hours Old Spice.

InB4 old and ghey.

I respect you for that. I want everyone to treat me the same.
I don't expect anyone to be nice to me because of my race.
If i bullshit, I expect to be treated as such.

Don't ever treat Black people nice because you don't want to be labeled a racist. Live your life. Nowadays white people are called racist for the slightest thing.

I don't act Black, or dress like it at all. Apparently I'm just funny as shit and when I'm with them we get into places without issue. A friendly neighborhood white trojan horse if you will.

White trojans don't fit most... oh, sorry... misread.

I appreciate this. It's just odd with all these self-righteous hippies over here in the bay making people feel guilty for everything. Thank you.

I knew some people call it wash cloth, but it was simply called a rag in my household growing up.

So yes, count one more black guy that uses a rag in the shower.

Okay serious question. I have never been brave enough to ask. But since you said "anything," here goes...

Do you get offended when people use the n word? Or why do so many black people get offended when being called that? It's a serious question that I would like to know. I wonder if it's just something we grew up with and it just stuck with us.

I ask because personally, when someone calls me gook, chink, nip, etc. i really couldn't care less. Not that anyone does but in the past, I have never been offended since I did not grow up during that era. Since I can't relate to it I wasn't offended.
