Ghosts and color...?

Question

1. Do you believe in ghosts/hauntings/demons, etc...

2. Would you go "ghost hunting?"

3. Would you live in a supposed 'haunted home?"

4. What color are you?

This isn't a racist question.

A friend of mine at work and I often debate about ghosts and the paranormal. Often I will tell him about a show or documentary I saw and the ghost/spirit/demon/entity... whatever, and what it did to the person or family in said documentary.

Inevitably my friend will ask, "What color was this person/family?"

And that starts our little banter about the difference between the way the black populous sees and handles "hauntings" versus white people

To clarify... I am white, my friend is black.

This is just an attempt to see where the consensus lies according to the way blacks and whites handle ghosts/hauntings.

To clarify further,... my friend contends that black people tend to shy away from the paranormal whereas whites rush into the unknown a little too eagerly.

Thanks

Answer 1

As a white male, My op ion is race does not have anything to do as much as cultural upbringing does. A lot of the cultures believe in spirits both religious and non religious groups. Some see it as a sign that there's life after death , and some see it as all evil. so take your pick at least it leads to interesting conversations with your friend.

Well, in general, when black comedians make fun of whites vs. blacks, they say that whites are likely to just barge into a dangerous situation, and blacks tend to flee. Sooooo...if you believe comics, then that's probably true.

Personally, I want nothing to do with ghosts, etc if they exist, so I wouldn't go ghost hunting or live in a haunted house or whatever. I hope my distaste for the nasty paranormal will prevent me from finding out if they exist or not. I kinda think they might in some form...I'll just stick my head in the sand and hope they leave me alone.

Though I do enjoy reading ghost stories and I looooove horror movies.

If you can't tell from my avatar, I'm pale as hell. I'm white.
