‘You say I act because you associate whiteness with intelligence’

[Burned Verses]

Why do people think they’re doing something when they make this dumbass rebuttal? No one brought up intelligence in this conversation except you.



If you got accused of ‘acting white’ then 9 times out of 10 you were just lame as shyt. This is coming from someone who grew up playing guitar and getting good grades with 100+ hours logged in oblivion.

Your ‘intilligence’ though.

Because coolness and lameness don't matter to any other group of people unless they can make money off of it...

Dr Umar is very articulate and nobody ever said he acts white.

My voice is very deep so I'll always sound like a black man.... This tweet below explains it pretty well..... Europeans sound very nasally and high pitched, while Africans have more bass & richness in our voice.

Intelligence is misspelled.

Hoes from the projects used to write ya boy off because they said I talk too white

talking white to them ment using the synonym of words that they knew and not cussin up a storm.

I don’t what it means to ACT white though.

It’s these little hiccups that are the spice of life.

That sounds like projection, if you think talking like a white person makes you sound intelligent then that's what you think.

They’re being disingenuous

They are “acting white” because they’re making themselves more palatable and less of a threat in white spaces.

It’s why they feel uncomfortable in black spaces because it makes the truth of what they’re doing all more apparent.

You see it, they’re projecting.

OP

That person had a poorly thought out social media post. Seems to be personal reaction to run ins or comments she's gotten in real life.

There is a segment of people do think like that, though. They have a clear perception in their mind about what type of behavior = white, and will tag Black people with that label.

I've heard of it being used for things like doing well in school, following rules, etc. Normal everyday things that are not exclusive to any race, to rational people.

I don't do social media, but I can imagine that the people who think like that have no problem expressing those takes publicly.

 

[Sex Luthor]

Do actual grown adults say this?

I haven't heard anyone say this since high school.

“Talking white you mean talking proper “

No white ppl and black ppl have distinct ways of speaking and arranging sentences tbh. Idk why they just can’t admit they speak in white American English and go bout the business

At some point you gotta learn to tune shyt like that out and live your life

most people don't really give a shyt outside of an observation or two
