We were discussing some poetry that dealt with slavery and abolition, and they got super into it and were talking about various issues and their opinions on white culture in the late 1800s and I was just sitting there awkwardly like

I can imagine how awkward it must have been.

I'm also just not as much a fan of that kind of poetry. Literature usually doesn't make me feel, it only makes me think. Living in the modern day, I know slavery to be awful; it doesn't require much thinking. I will say, though, that Frederick Douglass is awesome.

I think I'd curl up and die if I were in that situation. Glad you're still with us!

Last time I sat at a table full of black people they kept trying to convince me the moon landing was staged.

I'm not racist in the slightest (hell, a couple of my love interests have been people of color), but I've grown up in primarily white communities, and I haven't found myself in those situations often. I usually just try to keep quiet and nod a lot. >_>

The key is to feel super-guilty about things you didn't do. That way the black people won't do a rap about you.

I didn't see a real-life black person until I was 15.
Never talked to one until I joined the army.

Why would it be awkward?
