[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like it would go really far for black people to: 1. Strive to appear educated. 2. Speak more quietly in public. 3. Pick their pants up. 4. Smile sometimes. Every black mother I am friends with on FB who has a teen or older son has zero pictures of them smiling. They all look angry and menacing.[/quote] OK, but honestly, in my culture, smiles mean something...in some cultures they mean very little, so that leads to some confusion where blacks accuse many whites of fake smiling, i.e. not to be trusted. [/quote] Not PP you quoted but I do think there is a cultural divide. And I'm not so sure advocating that AAs change their culture is the right thing to do. Of course, other people who were able to quickly adapt and assimilate into mainstream culture such as Asian immigrants have done very well for themselves. But they are sometimes also considered sell outs. What to do...[/quote]
