“Acting white” is usually black code for “being successful”.
If blacks wanted to actually change their reputation, they would tirelessly work to succeed in life, thus making the “acting white” charge nonexistent.
But since 19 out of 20 blacks vote Democrat, they will never work to change their reputation, and “acting white” will always remain a ridiculous pejorative in the black community.

My first computer teacher was a lighter skinned black man who told me of the horrible abuse he suffered in Oakland, California because he dressed decently and got good grades. He was beaten so often for acting white that his parents finally sent him to live with the family of a friend he father had made in the army.
He was one of only four black kids in a rural farming community where he got good grades, was never harassed and got a scholarship to Sac State where he got the education to make a success of his life.
The most amazing part is that he got through Sac State and avoided ending up being indoctrinated to go through life with a chip on his shoulder.

Charles Payne, a FOX business host & Wall Street entrepreneur went through similar harassment growing up & leaving Harlem. Charles has another asset besides being smart & ambitious, he's big.

Seems more times than not they are with a woman that's lighter skinned than they are
Yes. But on average (based on observation), black men are darker than black women even when the genetic background is the same. Among Europeans, women tend to have lighter hair than men, and there is nothing inherently racist about "gentlemen preferring blondes".

This sort of attitude brings to mind a question. If “black is beautiful”, why are so many black women dying their hair lighter colors? I’m seeing more and more black blonds, and they are not always ‘light-skinned’ blacks.

“Oreo” isn’t just a cookie. In some circles, it’s intended as an insult.

Black on Light-Skin Blacks!! ...looking/acting White. It's the crab basket mentality. We seldom put a lid on a bushel basket of Blue Crabs unless it was really full, because when one tried to climb out of the open basket, the others pulled it back in...

That's the Oakland that used to know. Actually had to drive a the oreo students home on more than one occasion to keep them from getting beat up

Any black person can “act white” if they studied hard, got good grades, etc.

Blacks have a ridiculous amount of terms for “blacks who dared to succeed”: Oreo, Uncle Tom, Token, House Negro, etc.
How about we call the failures “crybaby thugs”?

I was told of something similar back in the 90’s when I was a Scoutmaster. A couple of my Scouts told me that being in the Scouts was kind of a “secret society” at school. One didn’t let on that one was a Scout as it wasn’t “cool” and could even get one attacked.
One of those Scouts is now a CPO in the Navy.

Sadly this girl is like a lot of Blacks who want to succeed academically and break out of the liberal plantation. The thug culture that permeates the Black community will bully, intimidate or even commit violence when any Black wants to better themselves academically and not grow up to be a thug or ‘ho.

Lets see here:
It cannot be a hate crime if the perp is black.
However, it must be a hate crime if the victim is black.
The irony is delicious.
