It is beyond depressing that studying and doing well in school is mocked as "acting white" by many blacks today.

I used to hear about it and finally asked a black man my ex and I went to college with .... and he confirmed it. He, by the way, "acted white" and is a successful computer geek with two kids and a great wife, who happens to be a Caucasian math teacher.

Agreed...I’m always happy to see Dr. Sowell and Dr. Williams speak out about it, unfortunately the people needing their lessons the most are the least likely to read them.

The principal at my kids’ elementary school said she’d been made fun of for ‘acting white’ while growing up. And somewhat wistfully noted that some of those who’d teased her were surprised to see her when she showed up as principal at the school where they were on the janitorial staff.
