[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, so you can take ghetto out of an AA female but a trailor park or poor white is that forever regardless of education, social skills and income? So you predefine and categorize whites for life but AA can move within SES and class? You really think SES equals classy and is only defined by income for whites? [/quote]

I am just an AA. I don't make the rules for white people! Yes, I have been privy to enough conversation about how X married Y and what a step down, the parents were disappointed and still don't like her blah blah blah. About successful white women who make good money but come from humble beginnings! I would never be able to tell but somehow they can. It's the reason that some kids at Private X are playdate material and others are not. It is why Georgetown moms think Hill moms are obnoxious.  Yes, I think that where you come from is much more of a factor than in the black community. I am not saying that it is never a factor for black people, but it is a smaller part of the equation. Many white parents have expressed that their child must date someone white of equal or greater SES - look through this thread, even. Why do you expect my son to cast out a woman from the ghetto but embrace a white woman who is second class to you, who you stereotype and make the butt of jokes? I didn't see any white parents defending Shaqueena, btw. Well, Shaqueena, here is your out. Get your education and move up because YOU CAN. Becky, please know that your people constantly whisper behind your back, even in your 40s, 25+ years after you left the park. I am just an AA.  And even I hear it. But I don't make the rules.[/quote]
