Great topic.
Blacks have been known to treat each other with disrespect.
It is a shame.
Maybe one day they will learn to realize success is not dictated by color, but by achievement.

...to be fair, I think all groups do this sort of cultural strafication. I think this thread is just more acute becuase we're discussing "us."

Sorry to jump in on this thread ladies
the experiences you ladies have posted have also happened to me except in my case, my "latinoess" (dont think thats a word!) has also been questioned by other latinos within my own fraternity because I "talk white"
I just dont understand why latinos (or at least the ones I know) assume that being latino means i have to talk like im a gang member from south central LA
Me and my sister have this one brother who always tells us that we talk white and we just tell him right back..."we dont "talk white", it's called speaking properly!!!"
