I Am African American

I hate that whenever a black American wants to move up the ladder and become successful, or speak correct English instead of ebonics, they are believed to be "acting white."

Is that kind of thing still going on?

I hadn't realised one could behave like a colour from now on I'm going to act purple 😂

I have to agree with you. I don't know where this "not black enough" thing came from. Many speak of equality and lack of opportunity and then attack someone trying to improve themselves. They should be encouraging and supporting them. Makes no sense.

It's the mindset of people of color, who say things like that, that is equally to blame for the ever growing racial division that's widened over the last 10 years.

Yes I know its very backwards and just feeds into stereotypes. Very ignorant. As ebonics there is no such thing in the UK.
