How many people here actually know any African-Americans?

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.

Do you exist in a nation?

oh wow, it's been like a decade since I saw someone do a "*whoosh*"

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.
