I generally stay to myself at work and don't get into ANY office chit chat and gossip. However, I do have an unspoken camradie with other professional blacks here at the hospital. We all know each other. We are cordial, etc....just common courtesies though and nothing far beyond that other than an occasional lunch (maybe every 3 months or so) In this particular case, homeboy doesn't speak AT ALL...but goes OUT OF HIS WAY to chat it up with other races.

Oh, I agree that my situation is totally different than yours. I just thought I would throw mine out there since it kind of dealt with the same topic. I concur that as a people, we should be cordial and courteous to one another. Like you, I make it a point speak to other black people in every situation. Now ol' boy at your job sounds like he doesn't want the white folks to realize that he's black, so he chooses to totally disassociate himself with everything black while at work. That's not what I'm saying at all. Shoot, I don't deal with too many white folks in the office either, LOL. I guess what I'm saying is that I want EVERYBODY to leave me the hell alone so I can get some work done. LMAO.
