There are a lot of statements made by others that usually make the same claim. Even Thomas Sowell states that black culture embraces anti-intellectualism. That is, if you are well spoken and intelligent, you are 'acting too white'. I've read a few blogs from school teachers at almost all-black schools stating the same scary thing. |
In one of my classes we actually discussed this. My friend who is black said she has heard this all her life. That she is the whitest black kid such and such has met. This came from people black/white/asian and so forth. She finds this appauling as she is just simply being herself. She also hates the term African American as she is not from Africa she was born and raised in the states and sees her self no different than any other average Jane.
