In the black community it isn't praised enough. We spend too much time trying to bring each other down, whereas we should be boosting each other up. If you never grew up around blacks who called you "white", you might not understand. I went through that garbage every day of my childhood. Hell, I still hear it.weepy said:This statement couldn't be more sweeping...
Never had this problem (though I'm sure some of you have). Though, in my community education and self-betterment is praised.
Bjoern the Smexy said:OP you did nothing wrong.
Jus tbecause some stupid ass people (be they black or not doesn't matter) call you stupid in their kind of way doesn't mean you did anything wrong.
Be optimistic.
YOU have a job. These idiots probably don't.
YOU earn money the legal way. These idiots probably don't (maybe (hopefully) I'm wrong on this one).
YOU had the courage to talk up to them. These idiots only wanted to be a dick and they were.
You did everything right, they did everything wrong and just because everybody you talked to dropped the subject pretty quickly doesn't mean that you made a mistake. You acted correctly and showed those people who's boss in the store, who's the better man and who's gonna earn extra cash because you had your day off, man, and you still made progress in your career. These other guys don't even HAVE a carreer.
Think about what you have and these "homies" don't. You will see that you are the better man in every way.

Why we do this to each other is beyond me. Sad.

I used to get this a lot as well and I know I still will in the future so I definitely understand where you're coming from. You did the right and professional thing. Its things like this is why I see myself becoming such a bitter old black man in the future. Ugh Sick of this kind of shit.

Same. The most I've ever been called by other black people is "corny" in a joking way, nothing really like the OP experienced.Zoramon089 said:It's weird, I was always the smart black kid growing up since elementary school but this never happened to me even though I grew up around these types of people. The ghetto wannabes who didn't care about school, got into fights and stuff like that. Instead everyone kinda thought...like, I was just super smart. Like because I was black and smart, I could build them robots and stuff like that. It was pretty funny. Everyone also made a big deal when I got into a good university. I don't think I've been said to be acting white, except by non-black people who said it because I wasn't acting stereotypically ghetto
Byakuya769 said:They were ignorant assholes. But I think the money is in what I quote below.
Why are you expecting them to act "ignorant as fuck"? Seems you have certain expectations of black males. Maybe they perceived that.
Of course you do, you were annoyed by them the moment they walked in going by your words. Just because they acted a certain way, doesn't mean they completely fail at understanding when someone has preconceived ideas about them.

Yeah I've gotten off pretty well too, back in High School I used to have friends from both the ghetto and more well-off social circles. I guess I've been sorta in the middle.MWS Natural said:Same.
