I know a lot of people on here are giving you shit about this, and I understand where they're coming from, but I also spend a lot of time on tumblr so I can understand how it starts to mess with you.

I used to see black people on the street and I didn't think or act any different. But since I've been more involved in tumblr sj, I see a black person on the street and I'm like "should I make eye contact? Should I smile and say hi? I want them to feel comfortable. Oh, but maybe that's too much, maybe I should just keep looking where I'm looking. I'm not playing it cool enough." and it's fucking annoying that my mind goes through these bizarre mental gymnastics now.

I guess what I mean to say is that I'm a lot more aware now of the bullshit that black people go through, I hear about it all the time, so I've become overly preoccupied with making them feel comfortable and safe, but it's backlashed cause my mind gets all fuckin weird about it. I know it would annoy the shit out of black people to know I've been thinking this way, I'm not saying it's how people should think, but I understand that it happens to well meaning people.

Wow. That is really really sad. You went from treating black people like fellow human beings to othering them.

Think about that.

Yeah, I have, clearly. Thus my post. Like 90% of my friends til I got into my 20s were black so it's really fuckin shitty that this is happening.

Also, I treat them like human beings obviously. I just get worried that they'll feel uncomfortable around me cause I'm white so i second guess what I should do.

I think part of it is that I moved to whitesville a couple years ago so I don't see black people as often as when i lived in bigger cities.

The Tumblr method of guilt tripping people for not being perfect has messed with how I interact with Black people!

*Immediately guilt-trips*
