Talking White or right: Speak the truth, lady

Talking White or right: Speak the truth, lady

Damn, this is what I've been saying for years. I've been called a sellout or acting white because I don’t use broken English or slang words all the time. Both black and white people have told me this. I talk too “proper”. It is true that our culture does look down at people trying to be smart or intelligent.

Every time I see one of the thuggish black teens with their pants hanging down and talking ignorant, I want to tell them to cut it out. People aren't going to take you serious if you look and act like a clown.
