Regular handshake for me. I refuse the other way.
You must now work around or be around very many blacks? What happens if they refuse to shake hands your way? For me, it depends on the situation. It's just a cultural difference. If I don't think about it, I usually shake hands my way, if I remember that they probably shake hands like that, I do it their way. Funny thing happened tonight. I should hands the white way with a grocery store manager tonight and then he extended his hand again to shake hands the soul brother way. LOL. No problem.

Well actually I do work around them. I just don't like that kind of handshake. No real reason for me being like that. I just like a good firm handshake when I shake hands.

Sometimes it is awkward.
 
THe thing is, I don't want to offend blacks that don't shake hands the soul brother way. If you go to shake their hand the soul brother way and they are not into that, it might be offensive. Damn, life is complicated.

Most of the time I usually extend my hand first to shake hands. If the person tries to do a different shake I usually try and correct it before it ever gets any further.

Does that make sense? Thought it didn't...lol
