When I was younger I would cross the street and pass by cars and there were Caucasian peple driving and the would lock there door when I walk pass. This has happen to me on more than one occasion. Yes, I am black but now that I am older I always feel uncomfortable around older Caucasian(white) people because I think I am making them uneasy and I don't want to make anyone uneasy around me. Is it normal for me to feel this way and if not how do I fix this.
then stretch your arms out wide for them to come over and hug it out with you.
you can put people at ease by the way you walk and carry yourself. you can show them that you do not have bad intent through even a smile and a "hi" or a comment about the weather.
But if you're in a place where there are many different races and people, I think walking by a car wouldn't phase a person in that case.
Unfortunately you can't change prejudices of some people, but we have a black president now so obviously its accepted by a lot of people across the country, thank god. and took long enough. lol.
Sorry if that doesn't really help.
Start wearing glasses cus then you will look like one of the smart type of black people rather than the robbing type...
"i am not black but all they are racist a**holes who cant accept change. i say stare at them back!!! "-brad015 U ROCK
Ignore them, and you'll be happier.
Sometimes when I encounter a black person I feel like they feel like they're making me nervous, so I get nervous because of this. Sometimes they weren't actually nervous, however, but when they sense I am nervous, it makes them nervous, which makes me more nervous, etc... (vicious circle)
In the end it's not baout skin colour. But it is a FACT that there are more mean looking black people then friendly looking. Because it's not that i'm racist. I have really cool friendly looking black friends but I really DON'T like those black people who look mean.
And you could have been born with the ugliest face but there is something about the way you are that is expressed in your face. People can just tell that. You can be really ugly and angry looking but people can just sense the goodness in someone.
This doesn't happen when you make people uneasy. They can see something a little threatening in you.
Also you have to keep in mind that there are other people that just see black skin and freak. But unfortunately there will always be those ignoramouses.
If anything, it's not your fault but theirs.
