I have had my "blackness" questioned since I was quite young. My response has always been "kiss my yellow behind"!!!!
Even my husband does this to me and I don't really care, because I am quite confident of my identity. I'm quite confident with myself and really am very happy that I am able to relate and communicate with other races. My husband really started taking it to another level last year when I found my birth mother and found out that she is "white". He was like "oh, I always knew you really are a white girl". Like I said "kiss my behind". I have no need to explain myself.
My husband even likes to take it further and say that I not only "Act White", but he says I'm also "Bougie". Whatever! Keep testing my patience and we'll see just how "ghetto" I can get!
