There are others like you. One of my best friends is like this, he's a black guy that gets flak for being a highly educated over achiever. He hates it when people saying he's turning white, or call him an oreo (black on the outside, white on the inside). Usually he just ignores them, but once he stood up to someone saying that, and told them that he was as black as anyone else, on the outside and inside, and that he was proud of everything he'd done and was disapointed that expectations for his fellow black men were so low. You should be proud of yourself too. Don't let these people get you down!
Why am I so different?
