Of course not but this makes racist white people feel better and gives them an opportunity to stick it to us.

We're already conservatively dressed, 100 percent law abiding, god fearing citizens.

We're never achieving true equality in this country. By the way, when affirmative action ends this narrative will change dramatically. I won't make this post go poast but look up the true benefactors of affirmative action. Watch what happens when that rug gets pulled out from under them.

I'm with them and more than willing to put them up on game. Spoiler alert young buck but they hate and feel superior to you. No amount of play the right way is changing that narrative any time soon. I rephrase this question to white people whenever they ask me. One time I asked a bishop if his daughter dresses provocatively does that mean men have the right to hit on her with reckless abandon. Another time I asked a prejudice white dude if this means we should profile him like we profile terrorists due to his attire that mimics domestic terrorists. Basically, let's take this to the next level. Respectability politics applies to everyone and that is the narrative WE follow.
