Bingo. Anytime I hear "That's ghetto" from a white person, they might as well drop the N word. It's a phrase that is said so often that it is now common place in every day speech.
It should be frowned upon just like "That's gay" is frowned upon now.

my life *sobs*
my life to, i grew up upper middle class, private schools, high schools being like the only black person etc., and because I never talked in "slang", didn't wear baggy clothes, didn't club , drink, blaze weed, curse (not saying there is anything wrong with doing that) but I was labelled as white wash, or i don't usually date black guys but i'd date you
"Montpelier, you're so white"
"Huh"
"If I didn't look at you I'd think you're white"
"
"or
"You're my only black friend"
"Oh"
"Yeah, you're not like black black"
It also sucked because a lot of the black people that were in HS or friends with my sister thought I was stuck up/snobby/an oreo because of how I was. I got it bad on both sides. C'est la vie.

yep because your not "what they expect", your not what the media has portrayed you as, some loud mouth aggressive independent woman.
The same for a black man if your not overly aggressive, loud, with a "black voice" , listening to rap, aggressive sexual, only caring about fashion, not responsible, you are "wow your not so bad"

I bet you if I was regular ol' black person that fit the stereotype, they wouldn't be my friends. That's the sad part lol.
pretty much
your just their token black friend
And that's why I made my circle much smaller and most of them are my facebook friends. I finally saw the light as I got older. I should've known they ain't shyt when in kindergarden a group of kids said I couldn't play with them because I'm black

As one of Adrienne's three black friends I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that she's not a racist. This is all a big misunderstanding and YOU are all racist for thinking SHE is racist.
I've known her for 7 months. We met at an art gallery when she asked me what the hell I was doing there. It was nice to have someone say hi since I was the only brother there and folks normally aren't as friendly. When I told her I enjoyed early impressionist work, she complimented me on how well I spoke. Ahhh, the beginning of a new friendship.
We speak regularly and she's even invited me over to her house! Now what racist would invite black people over to their house? I had to stay outside though, she said the smell of cocoa butter makes her sick. And she giggled something about monkeys on her porch which struck me as odd. Anyways she's a fine companion! Even told me I don't act like the rest of 'them'. She always says the nicest things.
Listen, why don't you racist blacks and everyone just calm down? If you don't want white people dressing up like this or saying 'nikka' (which I totally told her was cool) then why don't you stop it, huh? Slavery and racism is over and you are racist for remembering it.
So what if she replaced the traditional 'Ommmm' to 'nappyheadedhooooooooooooooooooooooommmm' for one class? So what? Then they all asked me to teach them how to C-Walk afterwards.
Sincerely, one of Adrienne's 3 black friends. She said that's enough so don't try to be her friend if you're a darkie.
Thoughts? Anything I should add?
