My White Childhood Friends Were Never Really My Friends
My White Childhood Friends Were Never Really My Friends
I grew up in a very small, predominately white town. And by small, I mean small. Like, we had one blinking stop light and everyone knew my mama name small. I remember when we built our first Sonic Drive-In and how that was a town wide phenomenon.

Reminds me of myself just by reading the title I already know what the author means.
In a suburban mostly white school many time I was the only black person in class and people would say that I acted white because I was quiet and reserved and everything had to do with me not being a walking stereotype. It was awful but there was nothing I could do if I didn't want to be completely alone.
