f***ing A. I'm black and can agree. Maybe it's only my example of family stuff. I tended to fit in more with the caucasians in HS. Well somewhat, but I was shy early on..

I want to a 9/11 truth convention in Chicago during 2006, and am part of a peace group. I don't see that much.

fail  I'm a left-winger and arguably radical; seing some merit in Anarchism, Communism and Socialism as a means of protecting the peopole from capitalist abuses. I DO see individual value and do admit that the Society is BS. Also, see that many laftist radicals want to destroy or radically change the society to make it friendlier for all. A better world.

Be VERY careful around sociopaths. They may seem friendly on the surface but if they get an opportunity to con you, rob you, or kill you, and think they have a good chance to get away with it, they will do so without a moment of hesitation. Sociopaths, psychopaths, and people with Anti-Social Personality Disorder are what I would call clinically evil. (Note "Anti-Social" is not the same as "Asocial"; the latter means not socializing with others because you don't want to or find it difficult, while the former means actively disturbing and destroying social bonds and relationships. Probably most people here know that, but I thought I'd say it in case there was anyone who didn't). |

| ASPD is different from most other mental disorders since the sociopath acts normal most of the time. This is because they are "fake" and don't say what they're really thinking. |

I just believe it's hidden more and denied more and suppressed more in the black community (and this is by no means exclusive to the black community). |
again, YES
let's see some examples.
from Wiki:
The lack of demonstrated empathy is possibly the most dysfunctional aspect of Asperger syndrome.[2] Individuals with AS experience difficulties in basic elements of social interaction, which may include a failure to develop friendships or enjoy spontaneous interests or achievements with others, a lack of social or emotional reciprocity, and impaired nonverbal behaviors such as eye contact, facial expression, posture, and gesture.[1]
-Wiki.
Let's see. Remember how many Afro-American females bitch-snap, gesture in all sorts of f****-up ways and can be disorienting-as HELL? Yakking and Yakking and yelling and storming in groups? I've seen it. And when the person f**** up and isn't as aggressive and expressive in that format...ehh. I remember some problems like that from 5-8th grade and Freshman Year..
"This social awkwardness has been called "active but odd".[3] This failure to react appropriately to social interaction may appear as disregard for other people's feelings, and may come across as insensitive."
And you know how people ASSUME you're "Dissing" them and that automatically leads to aforementioned bitch-snap and yakking and not STFUing.
"People with AS may analyze and distill their observation of social interaction into rigid behavioral guidelines and apply these rules in awkward ways—such as forced eye contact—resulting in demeanor that appears rigid or socially naïve."
People assume that you're challenging them to something, or something. Again, aforementioned bitching..
that's all for now.
I never had to deal with the problem of "Acting white" though, people rarely used that at all so I don't see that too much. Though, as I said this is my experiences so
This is my intrepretation

I am quite aware of the "down low".
Most of my anecdotal information is from Asian women. They spot me any where, any time. They will point blank refuse me when I go in for a manicure or pedicure. I have had Asian women refuse to rent me rooms in Hawai'i. I have had Asian women tell me to take my laundry to another laundromat, like I was catching or something. I don't know what it is about me, probably my serious lack of mirror neurons, but they sense it and they want no part of it. Black women didn't care much for me either, but I think that was because I was living with the Hippies and they didn't care for Hippies much, either. One black woman told me she didn't respect me because I was 'throwing away' my birth right for being a white person by rejecting the whole economic thing they thought was just in the cards for me because I was white. I never quite understood why they thought white poor was a poor as black poor. . . but, there it is.
White women it takes a longer time to realize something is not right. I guess it is because I have learned the socialization and culture. Later, they are all 'wow, you talk so strangely and have little in common with me and the world of people I know." And it't true.
When I think about it, I don't blame them much. They want a stress free social interaction, just as much as I do, and if they can see they aren't going to be able to depend on me following the social norms and that is potential stress. As professionals they didn't want to be responsible for any mis understandings when cutting my hair or doing my nails,or asking to borrow the white out at work, and if I didn't keep my mouth zipped while the intital negotiations were made, I usually could come away with out stepping on any social or business transactional toes.
and as for men? Men are men, Asian, black, white or green with purple polka dots. When I was young they were lining up to give me a break! Now that I am old, not so much, it is more like I am invisible to them.

Bull. The right-wingers are the ones that will tend to think that it's "all in your head and some old fashioned discipline (AKA a beating) will fix you up."

A Sociopath has little or no conscience. |
And?
What the hell would you want a conscience for anyway? It'll just screw up your ability to judge things fairly.

*Waves* |
So, you are a sociopath and you are proud of it? You are seriously disturbed, get help.
