I'm No Actress

“A word used to exclude is now exclusively used by the excluded and with it excluding the original excluders who use the slang to now gain inclusion into the group of which their group wanted to be removed from American politics of race.”

Hey it's Aneesa, I just kinda feel like sharing a little something with y'all. Growing up, people would tell me I didn’t “act black”. After a while I, just kind of brushed it off because I knew who I was. Now that I’m older, I am starting to question what “acting black” is because I really want to know. One reason people said that I don’t “act black” is because of how I speak. I generally try to enunciate my words due to the fact that I enjoy having a conversation that isn’t full of “whats?” and “huhs?” Another reason why people say that I’m not black is because of the way I dress. I generally try to be original and dressing like every other black person isn’t really accomplishing that. People would also say it’s because of the way I act. I GENERALLY try to BE MYSELF and myself just happens to be crazy, wild, and DANGEROUSLY random. In the eighth grade, I was sitting at a table with some friends and this girl who just happened to be one of the people who is responsible for this post stands up and yells "ALL THE NIGGERS CAN SIT OVER THERE!(poiting at where I was sitting) AND ALL THE NIGGAS CAN SIT HERE!(where she was sitting)" If you imagined a multitude of people running to where she was...then you're wrong. I thought about this event recently and thought to myself

I wonder if she realised how ignorant she sounded
