itz like if a blacc dude like rocc, no one would say shit.
i'm guessing your assuming your statement above is true?
when i was in elementary and made the transition into jr high..i was all about rock in roll...from metallica to black sabbath..alice in chains to nirvana (when bleach was out, before nevermind)...
i liked to play ice hockey, skateboard, and snowboard...
dont you know i got shit from all sides?
the black kids at my school were sayin i was a sell out becasue i dated white, asian, and hispanic chicks, because i wore vans shoes and jeans that were cutt off on the bottom..
stupid!
I started to hang with a chosen few, disregarding race (although several of them were white). if you was down then shit let's ride, if not get out my face! ya feel? i wasnt on the same page as alot of my other black peers who were gettin jumped into gangs and trying to come up as the next man on the block! I was terrorizin anchorage, ak skatin where the "no stakeboarding" sign was listening to NOFX throwin up wesside after completing 360 flips after coming offa fast nose slide! oh, and taggin up the skate spots! I didnt give a fuck what people thought about me, i was kind of an outcast.. People used to joke and poke fun at me because I was 14 years old with blonde hair, do you think that i allowed the false assements of others affect me? No, because I have always been real with myself from the jump (I do what makes me happy!), and I ain nan sellout! I fed off of negativity and turned the sterotypes into positives.
I rememeber one time when i was 15 walking through the mall...this preppy dressed light skinned dude stopped me and was like "Do people ever give you shit about the way you dress?"I was wearing a pair of doc martin boots, long tube socks, cut off shorts that were severely tattered at the ends, a grey long sleeve shirt, with a blue pennywise t-shirt over it, and a black kikwear hat w/ a black dude throwin up the duece on the front covering my copper colored head..
"Yeah, people say I dress like a whiteboy, but I aint really stuttin that shit.."
He was like "cool! I used to be just like you wheni was in school, and beacuse I'm mixed half black/ white people used to tell me that I wasnt 'acting black' or whatever..."
so the "whiteboy" steroetype goes both ways (even if you're black!)..
