Octoroon.
It's not the skin color, my friend, or even the race per se. It's the culture. I once had a company come over to clean my carpet. Two guys came over. One white and one black. When I saw the black guy I said "Oh, oh." But when I heard the foreign accent I was relieved. The guy was from Eritrea and just happy and grateful to be here. Polite as can be and a hard worker. American blacks are angry, bitter, resentful and feels whitey owes them a living.
So, you are one of us
And many E. Africans look down on people of W. African and Am black descent. As far as Am blacks, they consider us inferior because we are mixed. Especially many of the women, I have been told this before and have come across this. Its funny, the same girl dated and married a white dude (allegedly pure), now they have a kid, and divorced. I hasked her what her kid was, she said, "Ethiopian", I said, not now, he is a mixed black American, the same ones that you distained and thought inferior.
As far as feel whitey owes them, I think that is part of the problem. One, look on here, other people keep on starting thread after thread about stuff. It's like a bombardment, can't a brother be free on a bbing board of the shit that he deals with everyday? I come here to escape me being judged by my race, yet every freaking week, there is something. Either Swede goes looking for idiotic vids that show black people acting dumb to confirm stereotypes, yet doesn't go and find white or Asian people acting stupid or molesting children or killing each other, to people concerned about black men's dicks inside white women's vaginas, yet they have no problem talking about screwing a black girl, latin girl or how good Asian cooter is.
There is a book called "Black Pain:It Just Looks like We Are Not Hurting"
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Pain-Just-Looks-Hurting/dp/0743298829It talks about issues that manifest itself due to not trying to appear weak.
It's funny how people percieve one another, white people percieve blacks as inferior, percieve themselves as superior, yet if they dumber than box of rocks and isn't doing well, they still percieve themselves better than the black person who is doing well. Why is that? BVecause they are white, yet they haven't done anything with that, so that is their only confort. Actually, that is a illusion, and that illusion has been perpetrated upon blacks to make them feel inferior, so much so, that they themselves have continued the cycle of brainwashing that black is inferior, white is superior, and "acting black" isacting ignorant, loud, stupid, with incorrect speech and "acting white" means acting intelligent, quiet, thoughtful, respectful. When, in many cultures in Africa regard acting intelligent, quiet, thoughtful, respectful is great. There are many stories and fables told in many African countries that have been passed down from generation to generation about wisdom and intelligence. So, American black thinking "black" is negative is a misnomer.
