this question is mainly for african-americans, but you're just as welcome to answer if you're of another ethnicity. :)
here goes: the stereotypical black person is someone who lives in the ghettoes, talks trash, speaks in ebonics, loves rap/jazz and isn't very smart... or articulate (is that right?).
now supposing you have this black person who lives a lifestyle far different from this caricature of an african american. this person speaks proper english, does not swear, has a well-paying job, lives in the suburbs and likes classical/country/rock/anything that isn't rap. he's also been a consistent honor student throughout his school years and is currently a member of mensa international.
such persons are sometimes labelled by gangstas and the like as being "ashamed of being black". would you agree?
