yeah, you don't want them to brag. . .
HOWEVER, you don't want to lose your uniqueness either.
example:
one day, two of my sisters were decorating our door and they were doing the 'some create trends, others create legends' and they did different actresses that are legends like marilyn, lucille ball, judy garland, etc. i came down and was looking at the door and there's wasn't one single black or minority on it. and when i questioned why they didn't do one. . .they made the statement that they didn't know any besides, they didn't look at me'like that'. and i was like, 'hello, i'm black. there's nothing that can take that away from me. that's what makes me unique. yeah, i have a white boyfriend. yeah, i'm in an all-white sorority. but i'm still black and i always will be.'
later they said that they were so upset because they didn't think of me as an individual but as one of them(which kind of made me feel good but still, i'm not white and i can't pretend that i am). however, i wanted them to appreciate the black actresses and singers as well.
sometimes, you just have to remind them.
'We ain't going nowhere. . .we can't be stopped now. . .we're Phi Sigs for life. . .'
