Re: Re: Re: Your "Blackness" Questioned?????

Every time I go to visit my father's side of the family I get bombarded with, "Oh you think you are better than us," or "You think you are a white girl." ?!?!! Do I not wake up every morning and see my brown skin? Let me know how I can "think" I'm a white girl. It always irks me that those remarks come from my family. They always have something to say about me yet when the time comes to reap the fruits of my being who I am (i.e. my GREAT job) they are always there asking for something (hook me up with a position, let me borrow a few (hundred ) dollars, cosign this car for me).

I can TOTALLY relate to this!! A few months ago when I was looking for another job, over the phone the interviewer would say nice things and go on about how much they loved my resume, yada, yada, yada.......

And then once they met me face-to-face, they would just look dumbfounded as if they were thinking "was that HER on the phone? How did she slip pass me?" *lol*
How many times have I had that happen? I can't count the number on my fingers, thats for sure. I get a little trip out of how the interviewers behave during the interview. You can sometimes tell they are EXTREMELY uncomfortable in the situation.
