"Is black folks checking other folks' blackness common in 2017?"


  

          


If you ever got asked "why you talk/act white?", are people still asking you that as an adult? Are kids still doing that in middle/high school?

Do black kids look at other black kids funny for liking rock, anime, skateboarding, doing well in school or not smoking weed?


Not like calling other people coons over some politics but just like getting called "white" for having "different" interests or the way you talk and carry yourself?


Do you know people who disassociated from blackness or things traditionally seen as black culture because they want to feel different and special? You or someone you know ever get checked for this and learned to be ok with their blackness? Do you think if a person is still hearing these kind of criticisms that they maybe need to reflect on why people are hurling those accusations?


Do you think it's common for black ppl to accuse another black person of acting white in 2017? Is it different for children vs adults?
