I think all neighborhoods are the same . I only have one white neighbor, and he don't GAF. My Vietnamese neighbor across the street though gives me the stink eye daily .Story time;
I remember when I 1st moved in to my spot here and was redoing the porch & there were people outside just watching....no one spoke to me when I move here...bunch of easily intimidated white folk...anyways while I'm doing the electrical shxt I hear "he's gonna get himself electrocuted..." ...these people don't even know me, just look at me and assume the least....fuxkin' simple shxt a child can do...anyways I be flexin' on these people HARD....but subtlety....keep my car cleaned daily during any weather... mowing my own fuxkin' lawn...shoveling snow at 4am in the morning...I keep myself active and busy around this muthaFuka and when I decide to look up, just a bunch of uselessness with their eyes stil fuxkin' on me with there never being a word spoken... *Juicey vent/rant session over*

this is all in your mind.
go over there with a dozen krispy kreme and introduce yourself.
we have more in common than we're different.
It sucks that it has to be that way. You would think that we would've gotten past this by now, because we all bleed red.Story time;

While I agree that if you make the first move and introduce yourself, people will come around, I disagree that it's all in your head. If you were a white dude, people probably would've introduced themselves to you.
The thing is, it's not because they don't like you, per se, it's more likely that they are afraid of you. It sucks, but some people are just like that.

I get stared at here. Not much anymore because I live in a small town and I’m well known.
However, the first city I lived in for 3 years, Nagoya, provided me a very eye-opening and negative experience of feeling like a freak.
I would walk down the street. People would stare and whisper “scary”. People would stare at me via the reflection of the glass in the subway. Everybody noticed me but nobody spoke to me.
This was before the stupid haircut and also during a time I was trying to fit in: not showing my tattoos, following social norms etc. no matter what I did I stood out but I was not a knowledged. Openly talked about but not spoken to.
It was terribly alienating and caused me a lot of grief and anger.
You know who has the same experience but worse?
The disabled. Whether mental, physical or both.
Stared at but not aknowldged. Talked openly about but not spoken to. If people approach them to interact they usually talk to a caregiver or friend instead of the actual person (just like when I’m with a Japanese friend and a stranger shows curiosity, many times they’ll talk to my Japanese friend instead of me. Like “hey, asshole, I’m capable of talking for myself in Japanese”.
I watch a YouTube channel called “SBSK”. It’s a special Ed teacher who interviews people with various conditions. He always asks the parents “if somebody wants to interact with your kid, what should they do?” The answer is always something like “just treat them like a human being. Say hello”. I had had a tendency to think i
would be imposing by just interacting with a person with disabilities. But every single interviewed person just wanted more people to approach them a say “hi”.
Yesterday I put this to the test.
Went to the beach and saw a little girl (maybe 8-9) sitting away from her parents but close by. She had downs-syndrome and was watching YouTube on a bench. I
just sat down next to her and asked what she was watching. She showed me then she was immediately perplexed by my strange facial hair and started touching it. I said, “that’s my beard, hey, where’s yours?” Her parents were so pleased I was interacting with her. They were laughing. We had a great 3 minute chat. She showed no fear and a lot of curiosity. It was awesome. At the end she thanked me and so did her parents.
Sometimes it sucks being a freak.
It’s easy to make somebody feel like a human being by simply interacting with them an acknowledging them. I encourage you to try it.
I been on both sides of that shit coming from a mixed family , a couple of us look like my dad , my sister and older brothers look like my mom. Genetics go figure .. but ive walked into a house party and been stopped at the door ,, hey grey whata ya say ?

This shit makes me sad brother. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this bullshit. You take it well, and you have a good sense of humor, but it has to really grate on you after dealing with it for your entire life.Bruh, I live in a duplex...
