Taking it one step further:

It's all about mind over matter: If you don't mind, it don't matter

My roommate, L, dates white men. Fine. L was cooking dinner and asked me if the chicken was done. The white guy says to L, 'Don't all black people know when the chicken is done.' I almost slapped the sh*t out of him. I kept quiet though. I didn't want to cause any loss of a date, so I went to my room.

blackness questioned? been there, done that. heard it all before, sure i will hear it again.

i feel like if youre dumb enough to make the remark, youre not smart enough for me to give you an educated reply, aside from "what do you mean?" after that, they may get a "oh really? thats nice" and i K.I.M.

im pretty sure that most people who have gotten this prolly wont hear the same from whites. speaking for myself, most black people i know will say i act white, whites will say that i act black. well, ya cant please everyone.

p.s. my (now ex) boyfriend told me right before i started college that he could see me "turning into one of them." 4 years later i wonder...
