For 1 it's dumb - and 2 I wouldn't wanna offend a whole sect of people andpretend that their existence is so shallow that I can "be in the know" by naming a few things that I have done to mesh myself in their culture. The things I have learned from and about white culture from white men/women can ONLY be the tip of the iceberg. And even if it wasn't, that'd be ONE story out of MILLIONS of other stories. Get that right bro. We have a lot in common w/ the interracial kids - so yeah, I'd tell a BLACK man that I prob know a bit more about "white" culture than he - but I'd never say that to another white man. I'm not that "brave".
Here's where a lot of people can get it mixed up, I think you just did. I don't claim to know all about blacks. I don't claim to know half. I have NEVER claimed to know what it's like to walk in their shoes. I can understand what it's like because the compassion/humanity that is in me for another human race and their treatment is so great.... I really don't know how to explain it. Please, don't take me literally when I say I know things or learn things. So I'm not, nor have I ever, saying to anyone, you, Tony, that I know more about your culture. I know I don't. But I also won't be told that I don't know shit.

Like you said, we both have mixed children and with that a more extensive knowledge on the opposite's culture than someone without. And you don't have to insist that I don't know shit (compared to what there is to know) about you motherfuckers (lolol---joke). Again, I don't claim to know all.

Also, I'm glad we clicked. You're a dude I'd hate to NOT have as a friend or not know period. I'm glad you met Mike and forgot about who QD is. Props to you, homeboy. Later, QD.
