Thread: I speak and read very well. Why do SOME blacks say I am "acting white"?

probably the ones u talked to were ghetto. most blacks work hard for an education in my school and they are the ones in the tutoring centers more than others. i wouldnt assume they are acting white. cuz whites are not exactly the highest of achievers when it comes to education.

we need more smart ppl in the world

I've had non-Black people say that to me too. I used to chat online and if I called someone I met they would ALWAYS ask "are you sure your black? You don't sound black at all." So I totally understand how tiresome it can be for you to have people question you, when your merely speaking in an eductated matter. What I don't understand is why people only say that to black people. Nobody ever says it about other non-White people who speak proper.
