I keep away from white people in my everyday life. Not 1 single white person has my phone number. I'm not nice to them, I'm not bad to them. I try my best to have little to no dealings with them. I even avoid them in elevators. Yep, I take the next elevator.
ETA: Anytime I have to take the bus or train and an old white person comes on, I close my eyes and pretend to be sleeping for a few mins while they find a seat. Cause I know I'm not giving up my seat, and I know if they ask me I'll plainly say I'm tired too. And I know heads will turn, and I know how Canadians are, and I know I don't want to be the 'loud, angry black woman on the train as usual'. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I suppose another question that could be asked is: 'do you give up your seat to elderly yts'? |
A peaceful discussion on BHM, about race? Never.

I have no issue with them, and my personal experiences with them have been generally positive/neutral. I have seen negative sides, but hey, that's life and that's people.
I don't treat people/act differently because of their race.
I also give many elderly people, some who happen to be white, my seat on a crowded bus etc. I do the same for pregnant women, people carrying a lot of ba ge, or even people who just look tired/like they had a bad day on rare occasion.

You are a good person. Random question: what if you were nice enough to give your seat up to the person of your choice and they didn't say thank you...how would you react?

I am honest but respectful. I call out racism, sexism and other isms at my job on the daily. They think I am militant and too PC. Eventually I may get fired for being so vocal but at 40 I just can't hold it in like I used to in my younger days.

I really do go out of my way for elderly blacks. I hold the door open for them, let them have my seat if there are none available and let them go in front of me in lines. I never do that for elderly whites though. They can wait behind me. I do subtle things like that. I don't go off at the mouth, I am friendly, but I will not accommodate them.
I also do this thing if a white person comes too close to me, I snatch my purse or backpack up close to my body all dramatic like. |
I locked my door when they park next to me and look all...  haven't done it in a while.. |
yessss i love it!!

I have my yt voice. It's like I unconsciously turn it on when they're around. When I get around Black people again I go back to my real voice.

My white voice is perfection. If you heard me on the phone, you would swear I was a becky, no lie. Sometimes I turn it on too. But only when I'm at work.
