WHAT MAKES YOU WHITE…or BLACK? -Samuel Pierre, Edison
Some answers to this would be skin color, background, or some other possibilities. Those answers are good but in our world, apparently your characteristics change your skin color too. What does it say about us when you are no longer black because you speak proper English? For females, are you not black because you may not have such plentiful body parts as the next girl? Why is it that little things like those stated are the basis for people feeling isolated from those they should be able to relate to otherwise? What does that say about our society? To me, there is a difference between social norms and stereotypes. STEREOTYPES are sadly what are categorizing people. As opposed to black people “acting white” because of the way they speak, how are we supposed to speak? Am I not allowed to speak in full coherent sentences? Since when did black become synonymous with ghetto? When is this going to change?

This is true. But what people do not know is that everyone is just trying to be accepted that is why people act the way they act. Why is it that when “white” people hang around “black” people they are considered ghetto or trying to fit in with the African American society. Or if a black person hangs with a myriad of white people your considered rich and “boogie”. But what I do not understand is, is that not why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave that speech so we can form unity not division? In any class setting someone can go into you will normally find blacks hanging with blacks and whites hanging with whites. The real question is WILL THIS EVER CHANGE?
