This happened to me recently.
Dude I was friends with ever since elementary school distanced himself from me because I said something about race.
He asked me what I was thinking and all I said was that "I wish I could think of something to truly help Black people". Mind you he's AA as well as me. And grew up in the hood as a kid just like me too, and both saw all the usual ill's of growing up in any hood.
I asked someone I know who's racially aware has he ever encountered this and he said he lost friends and fam based on his views to the point that he said he's numb to it now for speaking his mind.
I've seen several people in real life get distanced for having conversations about UFO's. Seriously.
So my question for my Coli fam is has anything like this ever happened to yall?
