I Am African American

I hate the term “acting black”. Because it signifies that all black people are to act and speak a certain way because of what’s shown on tv. And if they don’t then they’re looked upon as different. The ignorance of it all. I don’t think some people realize that black people are individuals with their own personalities, likes/dislikes, wants, values, goals, etc. just like everyone else.

“Acting black” or “not black enough” are actually black terms from blacks. I’d be mad too.
