Sometimes African Americans, in communities where I’ve worked, there’s been the notion of “acting white” — which sometimes is overstated, but there’s an element of truth to it, where, okay, if boys are reading too much, then, well, why are you doing that? Or why are you speaking so properly? And the notion that there’s some authentic way of being black, that if you’re going to be black you have to act a certain way and wear a certain kind of clothes, that has to go. Because there are a whole bunch of different ways for African American men to be authentic.
There is nothing wrong with “Acting White”

What would have been the reaction if some cracker would have said this? Or even a half cracker?

Yeah, if a white person spoke out against self-deprecating racist stereotypes, I'm sure there would be tremendous outrage.

Well, we can start by not calling them African American.
Charlize Theron is African American, making the point of how dumb that is.

Re: There is nothing wrong with “Acting White”
No city, once governed by an overwhelmingly majority Caucasian City Council/Mayoral rule in America is better off than being governed by a now majority African American City Council/Mayoral rule. I'm referring to standards of living, socioeconomic class, school standardization rates, overall employment rates, across-the-board- wages to living ratio......and - no surprise- crime stats. Why is that?
I'm from an unfortunate gypsie type of society and, full disclosure here, they suck. So I'm truly curious (think of the clan that Brad Pitt ran with in the Pikey tribe in Snatch is what I'm referring to). You well-off white guilt asshole saviors of all that's darkie need not respond, I want to hear from some poor white 7/11 workin' MFers whose opinion might actually matter.

Re: There is nothing wrong with “Acting White”
I don't understand the responses in this thread. Do you all think the "acting white" phenomenon in black communities is fiction?

Re: There is nothing wrong with “Acting White”
I know an oddly high number of Transylvanians, and they have, across the board, a level of vitriolic hate towards "gypsies" that I've never seen in any other group. Tell someone from that area to "stop acting like a gypsy" and it's instant meltdown.DSAB wrote:I'm from an unfortunate gypsie type of society and, full disclosure here, they suck.

That could well become a reality in the coming years after whites become a minority in this country.Bludegeon wrote: I am hoping for a WET (White Entertainment Television) tv station to come along soon.
