Can’t argue there. My dad grew up in Philadelphia and he met my mom when he was in flight school in Tulsa. It’s also interesting that I’ve heard black people who live in the suburbs (especially those who grew up in the hood) say they are glad their kids don’t go to a majority black school.
Separation from a shitty culture does wonders for productive people.
In Candace Owens book she talks about a study showing that black kids do better academically around white kids and she was surprised at first but then realized that white friends of a black student most likely won’t harass them for academic achievement. I remember my sister was asked why she had so many white friends and she said because I don’t have to continually prove my blackness to them.
