People think I am tring to be black but I am really not?

Question

People say that I talk like Im black but its not on purpose. Then they say I act black when I am not trying to. I dont dress in hip hop clothing or even listen to rap music. I always feel like people are trying to cut me down or make little comments here and there about me but then when I get upset they say oh your acting black agian. What do people expect when you press someones buttons for fun they get frustrated and start to yell or speak with a bit more emphasis. It really has nothing to do with wanting to be black. Its more out of frustration from being screwed over or being messed with. Also people are always on my case about being skinny, what the h**l so I workout and have a pretty good metabolism, guess what I am lucky. Now I have problems from being messed with over and over, communicating with people and have been isolating myself. Its just that people sit there and try to control everything, yes I am good looking and inshape and athletic, no I dont want to be black. White people can enjoy working out and sleeping around too. Christ I am only in my early 20's and people act like I need to get married and have a family.

Answer 1

Homeboi this is the advice I gave to my little 15yr old brother who was also subject to this.

1. Got him into Kick Boxing, now he's got the respect at school

2. Told him to not let anyone tell him what he is or is trying to be

3. Make friends you can be yourself around.

Its working for him, it can for you too :)

Answer 2

skinny is good. i'm about 5 pounds overweight. okay 8

Answer 3

I know better than anyone; there's no such thing as acting black, or acting white, or acting asian, etc, etc.

I'm black myself, and people have said to me that i was trying to be white because I listen to a lot of punk rock and I dress differently and I am sometimes attracted to white men.

But that's because they don't know me. I listen to plenty of rap, (NWA, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, Nas, Public Enemy, etc), I am attracted to men of all races, and the way I dress is irrelevant.

The point is, anyone who cares so much about how you act needs to get a life. The important thing is to be yourself. If you like those things you listed about yourself, then who cares what anyone else has to say about it?

Answer 4

dont worry about it eminem!!

Answer 5

and whats wrong with being black? you say like just because people say you act black like its a bad thing? my advice is to stop hanging around mostly white people.. diversify your friends buddy..

and whats wrong with a white person who likes black people, that is basically what a "wigger" is.. might as well call all black people the N word then..

you really need to be carfull with what your saying..
