Never was really friends with any black women. Had a couple as co-workers,
but my tastes in most activities are pretty rarefied. Knew a couple of black
guys who shared my interests, and one seemed pretty cool - the other was
way too much of a jerk, but he had been in the army, and I've noticed most
people become less well-mannered there. He definitely did grow up in the
inner city though. But, I've known a lot of people who did, and they seemed
not too bad for it. Depends on the neighborhood, I guess.
