I just read this after I filled out a city questionnaire on what I'd like to see envisioned for "The Block" the black neighborhood that was Redlined out of existence in the 60's early 70's. Then I'm headed to a neighborhood meeting as one of 4-5 white people in a neighborhood that's been in existence since the 1800's where it was settled by slaves of the white elite. This is in the South and I'm from the West Coast originally. For 10 years I have learned the rules, where I'm needed where I'm not which is in most cases. I howled at this and could have used it 12 years ago. Funny as shit and oh so real.
This is brilliant. This old white lady would not want any whites moving into her neighborhood either. LMFAO. I live in a diverse neighborhood and I like it that way.
Were you the Grantland contributor who published a series of articles explaining to white people how to navigate Black culture? Your writing style is very distinctive--and very hilarious.
