The simple answer to your question is NO. I have often wondered if other ethnic/racial
groups face the same issues that we face in regards to their dealings with each other. For some reason, we always feel the need to question someone else's "blackness". As if there is a choice in the matter. If you don't speak a certain way, you're not Black enough. If you don't vote democrat, you're not Black enough. If you don't listen to rap/hip hop/r&b/jazz/blues you're not Black enough. If you join a PWGLO you're not Black enough. We need to cut out all the crap about who's Black enough and get down to business. Collectively, our priorities are not in order. We spend too much time trying to label people and not enough time solving our problems.
