Yesterday was a really peaceful day. I went to church, went to PF Changs for a bite to eat, then drove around to look at open houses for sale. So I'm talking to someone on the phone and they told me that I "...act white sometimes". WTF?? I have never been told this but the way I feel is like "whateva!". Oh sure, at first I was highly offended and tempted to jump off the handle to let this person know just how 'hood' I really am. But as I regained my composure, I read up on the subject of "acting white" and "acting black". Too often in this society, young impressionable folks are consumed with labeling each other. A person who listens to pop music and also gets her hair braided all the time....is this person considered acting white or acting black? A person who likes collard greens and cornbread but also has blue eyes....is this person considered acting white or acting black? What ever happened to acting YOU??
