Why White People Are Bad At Interracial Friendships (And How To Do Better) — HuffPost

There's a reason why white adults have so few genuine friendships across racial lines.

apple.news

“While POC have the skills to navigate diverse relationships, white people often lack the experience and empathy to do the same,” he said. “White people tend to think that the answer to racial injustice is to foster cross-racial friendships while POC are often, in my experience, looking for friends who will join the struggle for genuine equity.” 

AND

“I think the real reason these friendships are hard to maintain is that in order to be truly authentic, I need to feel like I can share all the parts of myself with my friends,” she said. “If I can’t do that, our ‘friendship’ isn’t as close as the ones I have with my Black friends and other POC.”

THIS IS GOOD STUFF!! IMPORTANT STUFF!! STUFF I CAN RELATE TO!!
