It was like living a double life. doing my homework to please my aunt and uncle and bangin to please the neighborhood.
I did jail and said damn this aint me. I had done well in high school so i applied to college and was ashamed I got accepted. I went to college (HBCU) and I had the hardest time adjusting to people who wanted to do something with their lives. I was down there walking around acting tough like I was back on the block. in my head it made me a real ? and all the college kids were corny. i did my work but hid it like i did back at home. i didn't want to be considered soft or a sellout for trying to survive in the white's man world.
i didn't realize until my junior year that i too had spent way too much time trying to pass a black test. graduated college went back home and i was received in the hood way differently than i thought i would be. i talk to the kids in the hood and you can see their eyes light up when u mention college. i can also see their struggle as they try to figure out will their peoples look at them crazy for going.
for her it was a handshake and for her friend it was choice in music. for me it was college. it was like jail made me more black than college. i think a lot of black kids feel that way. if u never been to jail u aint a real ? . if u went to college u were an oreo.
your black test might be different but i think we all try to pass one

Opinions are a part of judgments and vice versa -
I guess.

She's judging all of us while complaining about a few judgments -

No she's not, she sharing her story and personal thoughts, most likely in an attempt to reach people that may feel similarly while educating people of the repercussions of stereotypes.
I found it raw and honest. -
I totally read all that ? too.

I grew up in small town white, USA and didn't get a chance to really mingle with other black ppl until junior high when we moved. My black classmates would've called me a ? ? and laughed me out of town for being ashamed of excelling academically as some sort of way to fit in as 'authentically black'.
Thankfully I was around blacks that didn't take any ? and weren't on any ? . -
I'm not reading that ? but considering who made this thread, I'm assuming there's some coonery in the article hence why he posted it.

Hence the bolded part of your quote -
The moral of the story is Caucasians's opinions don't mean ? .

I didn't notice the bolded, but that wasn't the point.

Sounds like the coonbiography of a certain talentless ? we all know.
-
A bit related but not unadulterated ? ? like op. I don't feel comfortable around Haitians. But those ? are subhuman so it's ight.

I read the first paragraph and got the gist of it.
There are plenty of ? i dont feel comfortable around and there is nothing wrong with that.
Its just differences and preferences, you aint going to always like, wanna hang around or know the same kind of people.
