Aw, geez! I'm not familiar with that as being a general characteristic of the black community. I likes me some cold Diet Coke and pretzels or popcorn myself. I also likes me plenty of vegetables and fruits, instead of sweet foods.

Your story sounds similar to mine. From the ages of 9 through 12, I lived with my family in a predominantly white neighborhood. Most of the white kids were cordial and accepting, and I experienced few incidents of racism from them. Nevertheless, I missed being among my own kind, as that experience taught me to appreciate my own ethnic background. Needless to say, I developed a very 'proper' accent and tastes in mostly everything 'white.'

Well. When we moved into a predominantly black sector, and I began attending the local secondary schools, I was denigrated and excluded from the company of the in-crowd because they thought I was trying to act like a white girl. And to make matters worse, a couple of them even attempted to stir up a mess by slandering me. Still, I employed one good characteristic that I'd learned from most of my white former counterparts: either ignore their malicious comments or be diplomatic. That attitude either gained me a friend or repelled the enemy.

I am not a liberal in the Western sense, and I don't agree with most of the liberal agenda. I think this liberal thing has gone too far left field.

Whenever my husband and I order pizza, we order carry-out, so we're generally not expected to tip. Furthermore, whenever we eat out, if the service is satisfactory, we tip usually two or three dollars. If the service is lousy(i.e., the waiter/waitress neglects to offer drink refills or napkins), we pay the cost of the meal and skip.
