Anything we post is going to be a stereotype. I'm black. My GF is white. People say I "act white" . There is no standard.

I heard that phrase is actually pretty offensive, and I can see why. Do you find it offensive/irritating when people say that?

Nah.  I'm just me all the time.  I wonder what people want me to do?  Sometimes, people make it seem like speaking articulately, paying bills when they're due, and wearing a sweater over my shoulders whith the sleeves tied around my kneck (just kidding!) is something to be ashamed of.  I am who I am and I'm happy.  I'd rather "act white" than live the alternative.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm still badass!

i hate that phrase for those exact reasons,.. black is a race not a culture and no one should be telling you there is a correct way to live your life just because you have one specific color of skin.  freedom bitches, freedom.

white men can't jump.  i'm lead to believe black men are capabile of such a feat.
