OMG! Finally someone of my race that has been outside in the "real world" and doesnt go along with this judemental,racist country. Since when does everything negative refer to "black people" only. Having an education has nothing to do with "white people" period. People need to wake up its 2010!...no really wake up!

Good video! I gotta say though, your voice is a dead-on replication of that of a character on South Park. His name is Mr. Slave, and I can't help but think that people who don't know the character will think I'm being racist in a weird way. But Jesus Christ, you could do a great impression of him.

@bccofilms 4 all who still fail 2 get it: Good hair is HEALTHY hair! Damn. Some1 should do a counter documentary on that 4 chris rock bc ever since then white women have had a ball putting that extra notch N their belt & smirking 2 themselves when they get around black women thinking that all black women have that self hate complex & so wish 2 B them I loved chris rock 2 death @ 1 point but I seriously think that he has some kind of complex against BW bc of the way he was treated in H.S. by them

@bccofilms I say this because there are plenty of black ppl who don't sound like they just stepped foot off of a plantation & sound like we have the education that our ppl died for us to have & are as "black" as they come & as we get older & become adults we then know how to talk & be "professional" -not white, I wouldnt dare give white ppl that credit as if to say that they have some kind of patent on intelligence of something. We know how to hang out when we hang out and go out when we go out.

@bccofilms However Elon, I think that when people say "talking white" or "acting white" I think they are referring to the person acting or being dorky or a dork or geek, etc. and the people who say that are mostly little kids, because they don't know any better and that is what kids do. Or they say that when the person acts like they are better than others or thinks that they are better or acts snooty, bougie, etc. they refer that to acting white for obvious reasons.

@cecillbill What are the black people in India called? What do they call themselves and what are the referred to by their government? Do they have a subculture like the black people in amerika?

Response to Truth #1...there is a community of Black ppl in India who have been there since days of slavery...brought there by the British.
