I don't think it's racist to say that the races are different. I just want to point out that I think it's the most absurd notion that one race of people could be more human than another. But no shit they're different. But seeing as this is a race-related topic I thought I should throw up that disclaimer. On to the point: I've been curious (translation: just thought about) how interesting it would be to trip with someone of a different race and cultural upbringing than me. Like... I'd love to trip with a black girl. but I've never come across one (or any one who isn't white for that matter) who likes to trip. I'm sure they're out there.. but they're ahrd to find. Like.. when I'm with white people tripping we talk about white people shit. I want to see how different it is or isn't to have that experiance with someone from another place figadeal me?
I think it's more about the type of life a person has had and the place the grew up in, moreso than it's about race. A person's experiences and mentality is what determines how they are affected by psychedelics. Not the color of their skin.
Well yeah you're right but I'm sorry I see black neighborhoods, white neighborhoods, mexican neighborhoods. Only in the city do you really see people blended. You're right about upbringing making a person more than color of skin, but what I'm talking about here is the cutural emersion of your upbringing. I grew up (I moved a lot) in my life being about 60% of the time a white kid in neighborhoods that weren't predominatly white. And I'm gonna keep it real... you grow up different being a poor white kid in a poor black neighborhood than a black kid would. Just like a black kid is gonna grow up different in a mostly white enviorment than white kids would. And that's not because of the color of their skin, but it's because of what the people around them think about their skin. So, I mean I stand by my first post. cutural emersion. i've only ever tripped with white people who grew up with money. I'm not a white dude who grew up with money, so my convoluted point is just to say... i don't know anymore. Beer and weed...
Where the fuck are these raves you people speak of? I need some help getting out there. I'm sick of the narrow ass life I'm living
I've tripped with a guy that was half-jew, half-black. But that was Salvia; which has very personal trips anyways.
backtracking for a bit Everytime I say things that have something do do with race I always feel like a million people are about to call me racist. I'm so sick of that shit lol
Your black , white , Mexican neighborhood thing is funny to me because my house is a black, white, mexican neighborhood.
You tripped with Obama? (lol) anyway, its been said b4: race is an illusion, promoted by modern-day eugenicists; so unless you believe in eugenics... While culture, is not (race). The criminals today attempt to imprint people with the idea that racism is real, that culture'ism is racism, and thereby condemn all valid, life-creativity-promoting, principaled cultures. You see it? The only thing that's real is right now, and the principals and their cultures that exist within right now. So yeah, I c your point about tripping with different cultures, cause it puts you vividly in the right-now (i believe) and therefore it could be a very lively dynamic as you release attachment to the frauds of yesterday and tomorrow. last word on 'race': I guarantee if you raised a honkey in a tribe of spics, japs, reds, or chinks, and they were all blind, no one would know the difference.
it's a big ass country. People have different ways of distributing themselves in different regions. Anyway I'm just speaking from my own personial experiance. The tunnel vision of perspective
This guy gets my pont. I agree with you 100%, I'm stuck somewhere between idealism and pragmatism. My way of presenting myself is the collateral damage of this battle. Oh, the other thing I wanted to say. You're right in a sense; culture is not race. But the two are intertwined. We aren't talking mathmatical princibles here, when things are subject to interpretation they loose the luxery of being solidly definable.
Most my intimate trips have been with people from fairly affluent backgrounds. Middle to upper middle I'd say. I've tripped on hallucinogens with white, Mexican, Cuban, jewish. Rolled with black, Asian and a gay guy (since were breaking it down here) and bi chicks, Yah Cali is pretty diverse. Don't think we all get along though all the time.
That's what I was getting at earlier. I imagine tripping with a black redneck could be very similar to tripping with a white redneck. lol The same with white ghetto kids and black ghetto kids. At the same time, tripping with people from almost identical backgrounds and cultures can be vastly different. There are too many variables, including personality, mental stability, experience, etc.
That makes me think of the episode of the Dave Chappelle show where he played a blind black guy that thought he was a white supremecist
One of my favorites. I wish dave chappell would get back to making his art... He's the only comedian I can even think of right now who I would call an artist. It pisses me off to no end what the industry of fame did to him.
Not to be too argumentative =P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXfmjMlPEic"]YouTube - Tim Minchin: Ten Foot C*ck And A Few Hundred Virgins
I trip with people of differing races every time so that is no biggie. but I think it would be pretty cool to trip w/ people of differing cultures(continents or countries). im sure it would be a great time as well. of course it could also be extremely awkward if there was no communication or you just didn't clique. it really just depends on the personalities
^ Realistically would you trip with a shaman in South America ? (let's exclude the expenses and other variables)
