Hmmm staring isn't something I usually pay attention to. If I happen to catch someone staring at me, I'll just smile, greet them, and keep it moving.
But I can understand it if people want to stare at me, what can I say? My beauty, especially as a woman of color, is just that hypnotizing to some folks. So I can't really blame them - I know the effect I have on people.

Yes this is definitely a white people habit.. These muthafukas are not discrete at all, only wen you look back they decide to turn away, but will look back again. I think it's a combination of being black, beautiful and them just feeling like you don't belong Overall. The other day me and my fam went on a steamboat/train ride and I felt this white girl eyeing me down. ( I was like ma, this white girl all in my face tho  , she was like maybe she thinks you look familiar). Anyway i was going to the top/deck of the boat and this bish, her father and dad were staring me down from my toes to wig.. I smiled and these niccas kept looking.. White people got  problems!

This thread reminds me of something that happened when I attended college.
Even though some have said that it makes them feel awkward, I've always made direct eye contact when listening/speaking to people, including my professors.
Once, I had a professor, who, upon seeing me in my headscarf, assumed that I was from the other side of the world. I always sat in the front of my class and listened/made direct eye contact with him and so one day, in the middle of teaching, he says to us " You know, in some countries, women aren't even allowed to make eye contact with men," and then turns and looks @ me and says "Where are you from?" and I was like (without breaking my gaze) "Tennessee. where are you from?"

I was at the clinic with my husband and as soon as I walked in this white woman was staring me down. I sit down and didn't pay it no mind because it was 7:30 in the morning and I didn't have breakfast. But I still wasn't in a playing mood. I feel this same chick raping me with her eyes so I look up reeeeaaaalll slow and stare her down. She still staring so I say out loud you got a problem sweetheart? She says no issue here. So I say in the stankest way possible well why in the FCK are you staring at me? I know ya moms taught you manners rude ass. She got up and went to the furthest side if the clinic out of everyone's view.
I don't play with these white folks. My momma told me I was too damn spirited anyways ion give a damn. Don't try to test your strength with me cuz I'll embarrass ya ass.

People like that have small dycks/dry puxxies and no lives. How can u be so preoccupied with black folks and satisfied with yourself at the same time? it's impossible.
