A few years back someone asked me “why do you act so white?”
After a moment of hesitation I simply responded “but I’m black…”
Later I then thought to myself “am I really black or am I white?”
I had to see for myself
I did a self-evaluation
I thought
I do occasionally like to wear collared, button up shirts.
So then, I must be white.
Then again, come to think of it I can jump pretty high.
So, I must be black.
I’m not the best dancer.
So this has got to make me white.
I do like listening to Gucci mane and lil Wayne.
So I’m probably black
But I like to listen to Journey and John Mayer.
Which makes me white.
Also I know both of my mother and father.
Which would also make me white.
People often double take at me in a store.
So, I’m black.
I do use the n word sometimes to refer to some of my friends.
So Ive gotta be black.
Finally I just got tired, gave up and said to hell with it.
So, you answer.
Am I black or am I white?
