What Exactly Is Talking White Or Acting White?

There are a lot of misconceptions regarding African American people who talk proper English. They are often called Oreo's, talking white, sell-outs and etc.
Some people grow up in different environments or they are exposed to people of different races. I have some in my family who so-called "talk white" and they are not trying to sell out at all.
My family members are very proud African Americans and many are. You do not know what people go through who grow up in mostly white neighborhoods, you will definitely not forget who you are and where you come from, that is for sure.
We have a tendency to put our people in a box that they don't belong in just because of your uneasiness. It is no disgrace to use proper English.
All of us are not the same, talk to a person so you can get to know them and you can build great friendships. It is unfair to make judgments based on a manner of speech.
Judge people by their character only!
