LOL - I REALLY understand what you are saying frat. For those that need clarification this is my example. When I first attended a black college everyone would say "What's Up!" I would respond by saying "Hi - How are you" in a loud happy voice. That's has been many years ago for me but just the memory is sad and funny at the same time. While I'm not ashamed of my background, I find that individuals often act and speak differently given a particular setting. I certainly don't consider myself an Uncle Tom but I am guilty of changing the tone and the vernacular used in different settings. I don't think this is a bad thing. I just use what I have and know to be successful wherever I may be.
