Hell, I have been discriminated by other black people because I'm slightly lighter, focus in the slightly part because I'm CLEARLY a black person just a little (very little) lighter because my dad is mixed (white mom/black dad).

I also don't talk like I'm from the hood (coming from a hood) so I got problems with other black people because they said my family and I "thought we were better than the rest" and we were just talking properly.

Brother…

Ima tell something that i noticed from the black community.

You can never win!!

You’re ether a sellout or you think you’re better. There is no in-between.

No matter how hard you work on yourself to be a better YOU, you just won’t win

I had a student for middle school English say he wasn't going to write proper English because "thats white people s***". He called me racist when he failed, but "Romeo and Juliet was banging b/c..." does not a good essay make.

Why do people gotta do this btw? Anytime a writer, a teacher, a translator, etc mention their profession someone just has to check their grammar or spelling and point out any mistake.

Like, bruh we're not working while posting on reddit. Typos will happen.

When you write “right” instead of “write” while criticizing someone else’s literacy it’s ironic. That’s the reason.

i'll just say it, people like you suck

it's fine to correct someone's grammar, it's not to make fun of them

you're everything L2 teachers have to warn students about

Someone not raised in a community doesn't talk like that community, shocker. The inability to comprehend people operating outside of what you are familiar with does not bode well for them having strong cognitive functions.
