AKA_Monet,
Very valid question.
It was mainly the "skrait ig'nunt" remarks I have dealt with. ("skrait ig'nunt"...I like that!)
If I had a dollar for how many times my "so called" blackness has been questioned. I would retire. And it sucked when it came from family members, the folx who were supposed to have your back.
Sad thing is, most of the family members who sweated me wound up making some dumb choices in life (ie 20, unmarried and 3 kids, etc).
We need to kill the crabs in a bucket mentality. We as a people have MUCH more pressing issues to deal with.
It is a trip when folks think I have to prove myself and my blackness. I am Jill, I am a strong PROUD black woman and the only person I have to prove things to is myself.
Like gywn, I must have had some sections of my black manual torn out before it was given to me
That's okay, I am managing just fine, thank you! When I have my letters on, I am a sistah. When my letters are off, I am a sistah
I have basically had good support from my fellow brothas and sistahs on GC, no complaints. I found my home and it happened to be NPC. It's all good. I still got nothing but love for the D-9. If anyone has a problem with my choices, then it is
THEIR problem, not mine.
I hope I covered everything
