I've noticed on many occasions that people object to the use of the phrases "acting black" or "acting white." Why is that?
while I applaud people's effort to be color blind I think these folks are, in fact, simply blind to reality. Saying that two things are different does not imply one is better than the other. So I dont understand why people feel compelled to negate the obvious cultural difference between Black and White.
There are differences between the way Black people and white people TYPICALLY act. There is a different rhythm in speech (regardless of grammar), walk, style of dress, ect. A black church is different than a white church. we decorate or houses different from eachother, we season our food different, and so on. With so many distinctions between black and white how can somebody honestly say there is no such things as "acting black or "acting white?"
