Hello,
This topic makes my heart hang heavy. I have been hearing statements like all my life. Some of the reasons people said this was because:
1. I went to Catholic school
2. I liked to hang out at the library
3. I didn't use slang
4. I liked to listen to alternative rock every now and then
5. I am viewed as being "too happy" (I just don't have to complain about)
It is sad when people tell you that you don't act black and then stereotype themselves at the same time.
