If I make eye contact with anyone out in public, while walking around, I just smile and nod, and usually get something to the same effect back. Makes everyone feel better than losing any awkwardly and pretending you don't exist.

[@xPreatorianx1]

Pretty much what I do. Anyone makes eye contact with me, I either nod, or say hello. Depends on gender though. Males, universal what's up nod. (Unless they verbally say hello/what's up/how ya doing?) Females, guaranteed hello. Sometimes I do fudge that social norm and nod at women when they deserve a hello which leads to awkwardness.... But when you are out in public everyday and nod at 100+ dudes, and say hello to 100+ women, you confuse the " gender norm." so to speak. I say it's awkward because women have no fucking clue what the silent nod means. Any guy knows this. They don't know it's a silent way of saying hello/what's up/how are you. So they tend to react with a "WTF impression?!?" But then again, I'm introverted so I can be an awkward SOB. You'd think repetition would yield 100% accurate results with this routine. So maybe it's me being an introvert and my brain having to process a few additional nanoseconds to determine the correct greeting format. Thus screwing it up occasionally.

I drove 24 hours finally ariving in Manhattan. Imagine the surprise when I got out of my car lost in a huge city and I open my mouth and in my best southern English I asked a young man "how yall doin " the young man stick out his hand and greets me.He told me how to get to where I was going.This young man was a broker who happened to be black.we also kept in touch.He was in tower one when it fell.

[@somekid7]

Damn. I really needed to hear that part about setting the tone of the conversation and properly acknowledging people instead of looking away. Thing is, it's useful since I spend a lot of my time on public transit (3-6 hours a day), and I don't wanna engage the crazies/leeches/drunks/tweakers. That being said, I've noticed how I've carried this into my jobs and I've made a lot of coworkers feel uncomfortable. I definitely need to change this. I've used the excuse of being an introvert/loner for a long time but I've become a lot more comfortable socially than I used to be. I realize that I need to invest more of my energy in properly judging people and acknowledging them, instead of taking the easy and lazy route of just ignoring almost everybody. I also dress in all black with intimidating graphics, so I do have more of a responsibility to make sure I'm not making people too uncomfortable. Honestly I've just wanted people to leave me alone because most of my energy is put into manual labor and because I had an abusive upbringing which made me get bad social anxiety, but since it's gotten a lot better, I really gotta keep growing and take the next step which I know I can do.

[@TheAnantaSesa]

I’m watching the vid about abusing the “F” word and it sounds a bit relevant about trying to avoid so called F-riends or just random F-olks who never did anything to help you but all of a sudden want something like leeches. I hardly ever answer the phone anymore out of fear that I’ll get suckered into another scam. And I’m friendly with people when I meet them but have to step back and review the exchange to make sure I’m not getting sucked into a one sided relationship. I don’t know if I have an answer to your desire to be more social to your coworkers but I’ve done manual labor in warehouses before and haven’t had much problem even when riding the 2 hour triple bus ride there and back. I do tend to discriminate so, when I see people who have certain quirks that I recognize as being the kind that other people who haven’t been unfair towards me in the past also had, I open up to them. Maybe you could have a smily shirt that you switch into when you get to work or when there is a lull in the workload. Something to show a different, more vulnerable, and socially receptive side of yourself to people who you don’t have all that much reason to fear. It could be an undershirt that shows when you take of your death metal shirt off because you get hot. Or a silly hat you put on at work but don’t show on the bus.

Look at East St Louis, look at Detroit, look at Memphis, look at South side Chicago, look at Baltimore. Diversity has destroyed so many cities. So-called "Racism" is a result of the behavior of black people and segregation existed to prevent American cities from being ruined. This isn't speculation, this isn't a baseless prediction.

@ regardless of whether Brett is a pretty overall good person or generally sack of shit (I'm honestly not saying he's either) I think it's a good exercise to digest what he's said and respond to/against it without personal attacks (again, not because he's a good person, but because an argument against what he's saying would be that much more strong & clear). My first impressions of Brett's assertions are of course that they're common tropes used to opress black people, but regardless of how much that's true a lot of my first impression is a result of my political identity and what I do know about issues that face black people, poor people, and poor black people (which is possibly riddled with confirmation bias & is mostly based off of what I remember in history class 10 years ago, The Wire, talking to people my POC friends, and from podcasts/occasionally looking up what terms such as 'redlining' mean on Wikipedia). I think it'd be a good exercise in strengthen my understanding of the issues going in in the world to look at what exactly Brett's saying and respond to each of his points.

"Racial tribalism, an ancient guardian, weaves through time like an invisible hand, carving distinct fortresses from the fabric of customs and beliefs. These bastions of identity stand tall, their walls impenetrable, safeguarding the unique essence of each tribe against the eroding tide of external influences. The guardian ensures that each tribal melody remains pure, its notes resonant with ancestral pride, unspoiled by the dissonance of mingling cultures. The human experience is a symphony of isolated, yet harmonious notes. Each separation creates resonance; each division adds depth to the melody. Racial tribalism, in this orchestration, acts as the celestial conductor, ensuring the symphony of mankind's various divisions play out perfectly, each note pure and true to its origin, preserving the intricate designs that define the unique cultural landscapes of each race."

I heard a good story about Ralph Nader (consumer advocate and person I voted for back in the day because he was against NAFTA and knew it would destroy this country’s manufacturing infrastructure and therefore its working classes decades before it’s now happened): after his first day of school, upon coming home, his dad asked him “how was your day?” Ralph answers “fine.” His dad continues, “well, did they teach you to think or did they teach you to believe?” So often we walk around believing things we were shown to believe (whether through our parents, our peers, the corporate media, etc.) rather than actually thinking through the reality of the things we believe. I mean, it can be exhausting to interrogate every single thing every second of the day so we take shortcuts-with the little things, this is probably fine, but with the big things, not so much. I’m not saying it’s bad to believe in things as it seems obvious that we need to. It’s just not quite the same as thinking through the reality of things and ideas. And when society is facing these gigantic pervasive problems because we *haven’t* been fully interrogating some of our really awful ideas, well, we’re seeing what happens right now.
