Co-sign, I grew up hearing the "speaking white comments", living in mostly white neighborhoods and SOME blacks not wanting to associate with me because of where I lived. But I continued to engage with my people and not judge or turn my backs on them, because when you condemn those that taunt you, you become just as bad as they are. My family also kept me aware of who i was and the struggles that our people have endured.
