While saying for teaching purposes
And being the only nikka in class
I'm going to top that.........it being black history month, being the only black guy, but a black girl and mixed girl in class.........and then being given some old early 20th century poem to read that has that old backwoods southern black vernacular and being asked to read a page or two in 10th grade in front of the whole class........................
What yall think I did.............................................................................
but I wasn't embarrassed at the time, I was smart cat and folks knew that, but the teacher I assumed didn't want to have a white person read it I assume b/se it might come off racist, but then
does having me read some sharecropper dialect do.............sure actors do this, but I'm not a thespian, so I was just making the white folks safe and comfortable from having to be labeled racists.........I was playing my Morgan Freeman role......
