I generally find Black people who don't interact with other Black people to be strange. That would include women of course.
A lot of the time they're on that unicorn ish with statements such as "I'm the only Black person who ______ (fill in the blank). I look at the them the same way that I look at women who don't have female friends. Its like do you really think that you are that damn unique? You're the only non-rachet, really?

Cream, yall best bet is to move to one of them cities in pty's thread where the good blk ppl are | Economically, SA is great. Socially, it sucks. We are considering moving to the Houston or Dallas area. I just bought a house 5 yrs ago and need to at least break even. It may sound ridiculous, but it's like moving to New Hampshire and being expected to have a passel of Black friends. Unless you've lived in San Antonio,(not being from), you really can't begin to understand. I have yet to meet a Black person that is not from here that didn't say San Antonio is "different" and that they have a hard time meeting like minded folks. But the economy is good.

I am unique, but to me it's not about a ratchet/nonratchet dichotomy. I think "ratchet" interests/behavior/pursuits are just as valid as "nonratchet" ones.
I would love to find another 27 year old black woman with no kids, no man (and no interest in getting one), who is non-theist, a plain/modest dresser, not super social, and is interested in reading, watching movies/tv, eating good food, and just generally enjoys quiet, simple things in life.
So far it's impossible.

Location and common interests directly affect who you befriend. You can't befriend people you don't meet and why force friendships with people that you can't relate to? That's all I was trying to say. I don't know any Black people that purposely not have Black friends. I don't think it's a conscious choice. They just clicked with who they clicked with. It's likely some people who purposely avoid friendships with their own race. I just don't know any.

those are the people i think this thread is discussing circumstances and happenstance can make it hard to have friends who are black
but i know im talking about people who purposely do not associate w/negroes
but the OP lives in the Caribbean--idk how a black person could avoid black people there

I understand living in a place where you don't relate to the ppl around you, even the ones who look like you.
