Sometimes I
hate that term. Sometimes it fits the bill, but other times it's an excuse for ignorance.
I've had this happen before. Someone kept "joking" that I
talked like a white person & that I
ate like a white person.
How did I handle it? I put them on the spot. I asked them to explain how it was I was "talking" and "eating". When they tried to immitate me, I cut them off with, "So, you're saying that all black people can't
enunciate their words and that all black people eat like savages, like we have no home training? Do you
realize that's the same thing racists say?"
Shut 'em right up.
Like someone previously said, there's a time and a place for everything, or.... err thang!
