Too often people claim they're being unapologetically black when they are just being ignorant and "ghetto" in white spaces. Basically the opposite of respectability politics. And if that's 100% you then fine but I don't want that to be misconstrued
To ME being unapologetically black means not code switching and being authentic about your black experience no matter where you are
I don't ride through black neighborhoods hangin out the window blasting glorilla so I'm not doing that in Egypt either. To me that comes across as performative

Being unapologetically Black is when people who identify as Black stay true to themselves, without fear of judgment or societal pressure to conform. This includes pressures from white or other Black people.

Case in point, most of the commentors bytching and moaning are other Black people. We don't talk about we inherited the ws culture of trying to police Black culture.
