I totally agree, PROFESSIONALISM, IS THE WORD.
And there is a time and place for everything. Because just by "being black" in the office, just might cost you your job. And what's wrong with flipping your hair back, if it's in your face, IT'S IN YOUR FACE.
My comeback always is, define blackness or whatever the word is. For example, I had one guy tell me I was ghetto, (my personality OUTSIDE THE OFFICE, HAS NOTHING TO WITH MY PROFESSIONALISM INSIDE THE OFFICE) WHEN I told him to define it! he became studdering man then. Just like grown folks use to tell me when i was younger if they can't define it then you don't need to be saying it. That fixed him.
A quick comeback with a STERN APPROACH, WILL shut them right on up.
Shoooooooooo I haven't been called ghetto in a minute, let me start talking loud so i can see If I still got the touch
*LOL*
