Well, as true as both of you may be, there are people that come from ALL Black neighborhoods and STILL act like they don't know their own.
It makes me sick! I can go into all sorts of things that disgrace me about some "Black" folks, but that's another thread....
I believe in good working relations with people of other races, but I dare not turn on my own for the sake of "approval" or anything else from them. When I notice co-workers acting like that, I quickly, but politely, put them in check when they try to come back home. You know that's what they do when racial tensions arise (as they are prone to do) within the office.
