Stop hanging with Ignorant black people?
If you live around Ignorant black people, leave the minute you can or don't fukk with 'em if they ain't fukking with you 'cause of how you are.
The most you can do is be REAL on both fronts. Don't front infront of either social group and act like you're more a part of them than the other, on some turncoat shyt.
In the mid 90's I branched out and started listening to Rock music heavy when Vh1 used to play music. As much as I loved Bone Thugs, The Wu, Busta Rhymes, Das EFX and (Crucial Conflict.
) and would play that on my discman, dudes noticed I started fukking with Lenny Kravitz, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn and Deftones and I got labeled as 'That white dude', 'cause I liked shyt that had Guitars in it.
Never backed down from that, never compromised or made it look like it was a fad or some shyt and people eventually just went He
but he cool
.
Then I started to travel, met and made more white friends who were thrilled that I liked Metal and Folk music but would kinda tense up when they noticed I fukked with The Wu Tang and other 'Hard rap' when they themselves was too busy spreading that horrid phrase about 'RAP = Retards Attempting Poetry'. Had to cut off the latent racist ones and explain that I like anything that sounds good, fukk listening predominantly to a genre because of my skin colour
Found respect over there as well.
It's a bit of a balancing act, but at 28 you should have already had your own identity. I mean, at no point in time did I feel like I needed to act like the white, skater crowd because I got into Punk music and Tony Hawk nor did I ever feel the need to rock Timbs, Baggy Jeans and 'Yank' like I spent time in Staten Island because I went abroad a few Summer Holidays which was like a huge fad for ALOT of Caribbean Black folk in the 90's to just ditch their identity because they just got a greencard or some shyt and felt like they were moving on up like that Theme song.
Just do you, man. Or move if you can.
