Y'all 'bout to et me fired up in here!!
Here is m $19.13 worth...
DO NOT...
...try to get my attention by yelling "hey lihght skin", "hey red", "hey light bright". It is not cute.
...try to get my attention by yelling "hey white girl" or singing "Jungle Fever" at me. (It has happened.) I understand I am very light but DAMN! This nose, these lips, this hair... if you can't spot your own you need to do some research on the African Diaspora right quick. (And if you were looking to chase a white girl, she can have ya- I won't miss you in the least, catch my drfit?)
...Ask me what I do and get bent out of shape when I say I am an attorney like I am trying to make you feel bad. If you are intimidated by a successful, educated sister, those are your issues, not mine.
...it's been said before, but I'll say it again- ask me what A E O stands for!
...(particularly men) when I am walking throug a crowd ( apicnic, a club, a party- whatever) DO NOT take it upon your self to start stroking my hair. Yes it is the bomb but I don't know you, I am not big on the playing with the hair thing and I will cut you if you f--- up my do.
...accuse me of trying to be white because I am educated and well put together. What could be more ignorant than equating being BLACK with being DUMB!
...answer the question "what made you want to pledge xyz Sorority/Fraternity?" with "I loved the movie school daze." (And yes I have gottenthis answer.)
...think you are entitled to membership in my Sorority because you meet the minimum qualifications.
...ask me to write you a letter of recommendation for you to my Sorority because your cousin's sister's baby daddy's aunt knows me and told you I was a DELTA. I don't know you!
...get in the ten items or less line with 35 items. I might cut you some slack for 12 but 35?
...speak to me in ebonics or make up your own vocabulary and think I won't notice.
...try and holler at me as I am running to grab lunch out of a mouth full of gold teeth ehile you are chillin' in front of Lexington Market with your boys all day smoking weed and drinking forties. Did you think the rushed sister in the fly suit was feinin' to pick you up? Did you really?
Whew! That's it for now.
This list could keep going and going and going...
