@johnfilson: If you’re not black and you’ve ever felt unsure whether you’d be welcome among black people, a friend of mine said it well: “If you’re cool with us, we’re cool with you.” I must be cool, because I have always felt very welcomed by black people—friends and strangers both. Thank you @Desharri for the invitation.

Crazy that white people can go anywhere and feel safe and get welcomed, but we don't get the same in return.

Thanks for this. This is the part of us they refuse to see or acknowledge.

That means they think you are more than alright. You are deemed safe.

Fantastic! I’m glad you got an invite and got to experience the warmth of black family. It’s sad that white people can come and enjoy the company of other races and feel welcomed. Yet, other races can’t feel the same from white people. This is a start. Next cookout is at your house 💕

Nah if you invited to the cookout someone in that family trust you, or they would not have you around their loved ones. What folks have to understand it’s so much more than just the food. That means they see and FEEL the good in you.

I'll say this: I've been invited to many cookouts ever since I was 9 years old. It's way overrated. Basically, you sit there and listen to how much better black people are than white people. They talk shit about whoever isn't there. The food is okay; only their grandma and one uncle know how to cook well. Theres gonna be about 10 of that dont like you, and just waiting for you to say the wrong thing. Its cool, but it aint that cool.
