Not like “I went to school with one” but have had an actual friendship?

I’ve had a couple of conversations recently where people have confidently said things about the Black community that are ridiculously incorrect. The kind of shit where you can tell they grew up in a very white community and learned about Black history as a college freshman.

Disclaimer: I am white, but I grew up in a Black neighborhood. I was one of 3 white kids in my elementary school lol, including my brother.

                “international users” means “users from all around the globe”. The whole murica thing was just your own biases you inserted into it.

                But that’s okay, I understand everyone on lemmy has a daily quota of “murica bad” comments they need to shoehorn into unrelated things, so I won’t downvote you.

        Did you just praise yourself for doing a thing you hadn’t seen in a long time?

          No value judgement, just noting the change of fashion. We’re clearly better off without it, but it’s a bit nostalgic.
