ACTING 'WHITE'
ACTING "WHITE"
"Acting white" was the excuse given for seriously beating a black girl in South Carolina by another black girl, recently. I posted the story on Facebook.
What it says about the assailant is that she is jealous, violent, seriously insecure personally and hateful.
I do not know what it says about the victim, but I suspect that she may have spoken standard English and made good grades, at a minimum. These are sufficient reasons to get beaten in this age of social imbecility, as other like instances have shown.
To safeguard your young, vulnerable, loved ones from similar attacks, I might suggest some measure of cultural inoculation, like having them learn black dances, learning black lingo, and studying black history and culture, including attending a black church! These all worked for me.
They may work for you.These may work for the hateful assailant too.
