I saw a program about 2 weeks ago with Michelle Obama on TV ONE. She made a comment about how people have said Obama isn't black enough and if he's not black enough she's not black enough. I reminded me how I used to be called white girl by my friends when I was younger because I went to private school or I talked more proper than they did. When they used to say that I would respond by saying, just because my grammer is better than yours doesn't make me less black, and are you saying that black people talk ignorant? I never thought I was white or talked like a white girl, I just talk like I'm educated. To this day I still get made fun of. If people like Colon Powell, Condeleeza Rice, Bryant Gumble, Barck Obama, and myself aren't black enough, what is black enough?
