How to Stay Sane While Black
New York Times ^ | 11/20/2016 | Morgan Parker

Posted on 11/21/2016 9:06:21 AM PST by ErikJohnsky

I wish I could point to the moment when I first understood I was a thing to be hated. The first “I’m just not attracted to black girls.” The first “Do you work here?”

When I was 15, I was told I have major anxiety disorder and moderate-to-severe depressive disorder.

“Black people don’t go to therapy,” my dad said.

Maybe start by shunning the political party that classifies, judges and assesses everyone’s ability by skin color.

An actual conservative post. Thank you. It was looking like this thread was going to be dominated by ignorant bigotry.

I’ve seen her picture, maybe they were just saying they weren’t attracted to black girls to spare your feelings instead of saying they weren’t attracted to ugly girls.

I am attracted to black chicks so by her theory I am not a racist.

3) Look objectively and realize that there are many people far worse off in life than you are, say a prayer of thanks, and move on with your day

I wouldn’t be too sure. If you said that you are attracted to black chicks, she’d probably say that it’s a latent master-slave complex that you instinctlively have.

My perspective is influenced by the fact that my father's family were displaced directly or indirectly by WWI and WWII, and my in-laws' descriptions of life in WWII Poland.

Nothing like having your mother-in-law describe how she was forced to watch 300 people machine gunned to death in a German reprisal action to add a more sober perspective on the meaning of "oppression". Something about how, "The blood flowed like water in the gutters," is something you don't forget.

She must come from and live in a fairly comfortable environment to have the luxury of indulging such a mass of racial neuroses.

That was one of the whiniest, most pitiful, poor poor me things I have read in awhile. Seriously, grow up.

If I saw micro aggression everywhere I looked, I’d probably go nuts too. Developing a thick skin is definitely helpful in life. More people, of every color, need to do that.

She sounds like the least qualified person in the world to give the answers promised in the title. Despite the amount of money she spends on a shrink and the drugs he prescribes, she’s still a nut case.

Don’t let other people change your opinion of yourself. It’s not just Black people who get $hit upon for their looks. It happens to people of all appearances.
There are people who like you. Hang out with them. Never mind what some people think.

Then why the hell are you stuck up in Washington state ...move yer ass to the Mississippi delta...75-95% black and still in America figuratively ...black women everywhere and they can cook too....especially if you like a bit of heft on yer gal....but beware...black guys typically see interracial lust as strictly a one way street and may stomp your white butt into oblivion or even kill you and throw your corpse into a swamp

Maybe the Dominican Repiblic is a smarter idea...

But no fooling if you really feel that way the Deep South is very very dark in places and odds are you'd be a vast improvement over what the local black women have to pick from.

I can show you where to go...my tastes when young were more brown or morena ....never been much attracted to black black or four foot Mexicans or eskimos To each his own

Dear Cupcake,
I am a 52 year old white male.
I know what it’s like for people to not like me because of my race, my age, my military service, my gender and my sexual preference.
I know that some people are not sexually attracted to me.
I know that prospective employers no longer see me as valuable due to my age.
I realize that I can’t be everything to everyone and I don’t need a therapist to tell me that everything that I just wrote is true.
I live my life because I am worth something to the people that are worthy of my contribution to their lives.

See how that works? DO something, BE someone to people that you value and who value you(other than a therapist who just wants your money).
