My female friend, she's white. Very, very, very pretty young woman you've ever meet. She starts to acting like black in couple of years ago. I never got the chance to ask her why she continues to acting like black....
"Yo, stop acting Black!" ...How do you act Black?

SK after your comments in the other thread I would think you would be mindful of things you say. Guess I was wrong.

I never liked that "acting black" bullshit. I've been told many times that I was one of the "whitest" black guy someone has ever meant, though more often than not they meant that as some kind of joke. I guess being quiet and stuff is considered anti-black...

You too, huh?
I've always been the quiet one, and some used to say I don't "act Black enough..." I mean, what they heck?!

^Like wise my friend. I mean, in high school, it was pretty bad. But the only people to call me that then was some of my white friends. I guess their view of black people were wrong; it would be nice that people could understand that black people (or anyone at that) don't have a hive-mentality and we all don't act alike or stereotypical (the norm to some people).

I act proper everywhere I go. It's how I was raised and I will continue to act like that. I am aware that when you hangout with people who speak with those "Wat up my nig, Wuz gud, etc." language, you should at least be able to adapt to it. I am in a way, but I still don't think its necessary to talk in that language. I wonder if they can even adapt to my proper way of speaking if they had to. Anyways, I'm Asian so I don't really like to see my fellow Asians act Black. But if they do, that is their choice. I just hope they won't speak like that for the rest of their lives. Nice topic btw.

Speaking of retarded, one guy actually thought I might possibly BE retarded, or slow, since he said I don't listen to rap, and I'm black. (Mind you, he's also black.) Of course he's completely wrong on both accounts. I listen to rap, even though I don't quite show it to the degree that he might. I just happen to like other kinds of music besides rap. So yeah, that's another thing. I could say that I listen to modern rock and classic rock, and of course I'd get asked "so you don't listen to rap?".
Back in high school, some people used to call me "white boy", and it was because they claim I don't act "ghetto". It was silly, but I didn't really take it too seriously though.
What exactly is it that you do or don't do that makes people think you don't act black enough? Just curious.

Nice post!!
It really, really bothers some people when they hold stereotypes and then meet people who do not conform to them. They will try to figure out if their stereotype is wrong or if you are just weird. They will usually just try to make you an exception somehow, because it's easier than admitting that their views are wrong.

The end justiΦ's the means
I honestly don't get this... I understand the stereo-type, but most of the people I know don't conform to it. It's REALLY stupid. I have a majority of black friends and they HARDLY ever fit into the gutter that people seem to think of them. Honestly... that's why I'm greatful for being in New York, you're exposed to diversity from a very young age.
(For the record... we don't call it acting 'black', but rather 'talkin' street'.)
