People keep saying that i act white?

i'm black, but i don't speak in ebonics. i use slang, but i talk normally (well, with a bostanian accent) anyway, i have long, curly hair which everyone thinks is a f****** weave and it's not! whenever i meet/speak to the other black kids at my school, they're like "u ain't at all like us. u too white. u a oprah wannabe" and s*** like that. i'm so sick and tired of it! ok, i'm black- u look at me and i'm black- but people think i'm an oreo and i'm sick of it!!!!!!! why the hell can't i speak normally, wear my natural hair long, and hang out with different types of people? uggggh!!!!!!!! i know i'm gonna regret this, but maybe i should've been born white- then i'd be accepted by a race.

I feel were you're coming from. I'm not black american, i'm african american so I always felt like I didn't belong w/ other black kids who spoke "ghetto". I used to practice talking ghetto while reading books at home! My parents raised me to speak appropriately. I never felt comfortable talking till i left public h.s and went to a private boarding school were there were people from everywhere and everyone accepted everyone for who they were. But I had that "black ghetto spirit" in me (best believe), where I would tell a muth f**ka off when need be, u kno?



So I feel you girl, I'll never be ghetto to the fullest cuz it simply is not me per se....no matter how much at times i want it to be. I won;t lie, I dont know how old you are, but if you're like in h.s it's probably going to be a problem, maybe all through it, maybe not. Especially if ur pretty, or got that "good hair" AND speak appropriate....you're gonna have ur haters. But I'll tell you this, the best thing I'd say is to brush it off and just be who you are to the fullest, and if the ghetto comes out in you, it comes out. If the "white girl" comes out the majority of time, it comes out. Don't trip. Let the haters hate. And have friends from every group. Y do yourself a dis-service by isolating yourself to one group? In H.S the crowd i was w/ was black, some hispanic. But when I left to a more diverse school, my friends were black, korean, bulgarian, jewish, brazilian, japanese, vietnamese. I thank God for that whole experience of being around others to become a more worldly person. Lol, I tell people that I have this connection to Asia cuz since H.S all my bf's/roommates have been from Asia! It's crazy. But it's kew cuz now I have a place to call home in Japan and Korea cuz of my close friends from there.



So just be you girl. That's what YOU and others will appreciate most. Other wise you'll never be comfortable in your beautiful skin. Stay up girl. n Best wishes w/ school.



One love.

Okay.



People keep saying that i act white?

Your race perpetuates its own culture as does other races



People keep saying that i act white?

just be yourself. find friends who except you for you. dont let stuff like this bother you because its a waste of time. and if it helps make jokes about it be the funny person. laugh it off



People keep saying that i act white?

Thats a huge thing for you to let other people to control,you need to stop letting it get to you because thats who you are,do not chang to impress other people especially with something like this,look at tyra banks,and Oprah they always act white then once in a while the black side will come out,haha its theres nothing wrong with you at all.



People keep saying that i act white?

I have heard of white people who try to act "black". They also call it "ghetto". I don't hang out with them, however, I'm sick of the way people keep complaining about "the white kids who act black"! They should act however way satisfies them!



People keep saying that i act white?

Sounds like you are surrounded by some very racist people. Aren't we all supposed to be for diversity? White people don't all talk alike anyway. I don't see why being like Oprah would be a bad thing either. She's a wonderful, generous and intelligent lady. Are they saying that black people can't be any of those things? You should be proud of who you are and not worry about a few people not accepting you. The ones saying those things are few and far between. They just stand out in your mind because they are full of hate. Peace, hon.



People keep saying that i act white?

You don't have to "act" black or white, who gets to define that. I wouldn' worry about them, if they act like that you shouldn't care what they think of you. Find new friends. And never wish you are anything but what you are!!!!



People keep saying that i act white?

damn



I cant believe we started using Oprah's name in vain, she is such a pioneer.



I feel you, I also speak "white english" and its makes me feel alienated sometimes but realize the kids who say that you too "white" acting are so sheltered in thier little world they cant see beyond what they deal with everyday. Some of them practically worship rappers, hip hop artists and such, so they think what they listen to , see and experience is all there is to life and being black.



I bet, the fact that you speak proper english means that you have been to other places, interacted with people from diffrent cultures and have a better education. That's something you dont need to be white for. And its an advantage.



People keep saying that i act white?

Try not to worry about it. I'm not suggesting you be arrogant about your education, but I notice (often) when hearing black people from other countries speak, they give the impression of being very educated and intelligent. On the other hand, often black people here "sound" ignorant. I would drop the **** words, tho. That"s white trash talk.



People keep saying that i act white?

being black or white is not an act



you are who you are



People keep saying that i act white?

The force is strooong with you!! Cut the ties with the coons and pursue a better life , with a white man, and hope you have white children.



Its your decision!! Go on with your life and stay away from coon lovers!!



People keep saying that i act white?

Just be yourself. Sounds like you have met some pretty ignorant people. I know it seems important now, but what they think really don't mean crap. Continue to be yourself %26amp; do what makes you happy. In 10 years look up all those people %26amp; see who is succesful %26amp; who isn't. My guess is u will be.



People keep saying that i act white?

I thought all Black Americans speak and behave like whites.After living together for over a century nothing can distinguish them apart from color of their skins.



People keep saying that i act white?

im not being smart but oprah is as black as coal google her without makeup and youll see ok your not white maybe they feel pity for you and are trying to make you think your more white
