Idk, how to coupe. I’m biracial and don’t feel like I belong anywhere though black people are usually more understanding but still kind of standoffish at times, like they don’t trust me or some s***. Also, I can’t really get any help at home. My mom is white, she’s best thing in the world but her level of understanding is 0, as well as the rest of my family on her side. She says the wildest things about black people, women especially. My dad is on some other s*** also. This man straight up told me, “Don’t date black women,” but his ex wife is black, and he has 3 daughters.. he holds the same views of victim blaming as my mom in regards to several social injustice examples involving black people, but when it’s a white person involved, they all of a sudden regain common sense. Like I said the only people I can really talk to is about a lot of things is black people, but at the end of the day, they’re still going to give me the cold shoulder like my parents. I’m just so tired of the flip flopping, and being automatically judged.

*cope, my fault lol.
Sad, you seem really intelligent. I think if you use your head and find people outside your family you can find some peace.
I’d try to see past the people’s race if I’m honest. It gives you something else to worry about. In reality, you can fit it into either community or both, but you can’t fit with every person. Staying in your head means that when you’re anxious people can sense it and will think something is going off with you. That can lead to trust issues.
Try and treat people as individuals that either like or don’t like you. Since no-one really likes feeling you see them the same as everyone else in the group. Give everyone a chance, it can take a while for people to relax.
