I've got to watch that show at some point.. lol.
I think what hurts the most is that people constantly say "You aren't black enough." Not that any of us need anyone else's approval, but its nice when one of your own encourages you to do well in life.
I've been told several times that I am not black b/c I like Metallica. (Listening to it now on Launch.) I explain to those people that the majority of today's rock bands are influenced by Jimi Hendrix (who was black) and blues music (mostly black). So what is the point they were trying to make? Shuts them right up.
I do not need to justify my life to others b/c I chose to get good grades, speak properly, went away to and graduated from college, and am not on welfare.
sorry, had to vent.. lol.
