What's one misconception about your community/demographic that you'd like to clear up?

What's one thing, above all else, you would like others to walk away knowing.

Please respond by quoting. The information is too important to hide in the comments. I and others will echo.

Talking normal english isn't 'Talking White'. The amount of eye rolling I've done everytime many of my own people have said this to me could reach the moon & back, twice.

I'm tired.

Whew, I had a family member call me a white lady because they didn't recognize my voice over the phone.

Maybe premature thinking, but I love that we're moving away from this.

That's happened to me as well. It's mind boggling! Not to mention the fact that many white people don't speak proper English anymore than any other group.

The indoctrination is real with alot of our people I hate to say it. Many hold the white patriarchy to a standard they believe is higher and/or better than theirs. All other races do this as well and it's a major red flag of weakness for me.

Chile...I'm so tired, and it's not just high school dropouts that said this to me and that's what really bothers me the most. How you college 'edumacated' talking about 'you sound white'. It's insulting to both parties and so many never see it. The change is too slow, we should all be past this.
