Booker T. Washington not only believed education was essential to raising the status of African Americans, but also knew that the way people viewed the African American was important too. As a result, he was reluctant to reveal acts of generosity toward blacks, that other whites might take as too radical.

When is it appropriate to disclose personal information what type of relationship?

You never disclose any type of information such as banking, any passwords or pins, codes etc - possibly when your married. Simple general information when just meeting someone is okay, but its best not to disclose anything until you have known a person for sometime and know them, or able to trust them, as well - there are a lot of cons and thieves out there and its better to be safe than sorry. Be selecting with information as if you find they are asking a lot of questions that you are just not comfortable with simply tell them that and change the topic. You don't ever have to talk about anything you do not want or give any information about yourself that may be used against, and also keep personal items wallet etc. in sight or put safely away when someone you don't know or trust is around.
