 Black people are not any different from others. Just act like yourself and you will be ok. As for the handshaking just let them lead and follow it. I get confused by some of the different ones that people do, so just let them lead.

 What attitude are you referring to No Luck? Just for the record attitudes come from people of all races not just black people...
Anyhow, I am sure if you are respectful and polite you will get the same in return. Unlike what the poster said all black people do not have bad attitudes, so pay no attention to that. Be yourself and try focusing on enjoying yourself and having a good time and do not try so hard to fit in. If this guy comes from a good family I am sure they will go out of there way to make you feel comfortable and welcome you with open arms. If I were you I wouldn't worry because black people and white people have a lot more in common than we think, youll see. If his reunion is similiar to my family reunion you are in for the time of your life.. Food, family, music, activities you will have a good time.
