PREACH! I have often been accused of not being black or acting - TopicsExpress



          

PREACH! I have often been accused of not being black or acting white or forgetting where I came from. Of course the people who say this dont know where I came from. They dont know that my Grandparents placed a value on education above anything else. And that even though my grandmother didnt have the money to take me to the theatre, we would sit and listen to records of Beethoven and Strauss. The first opera I heard was in my grandparents living-room. When people say You dont act black, I ask them what Im doing wrong. The ones that arent so quick begin to explain to me every racist stereotype theyve come to believe in. The ones with the ability to think before they speak will apologize and try to change the subject.
