“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
What is acting white? Or, better yet, what is acting black?
It has always amazed me that a person could be ostracized for simply speaking a language in its intended manner or choosing to wear Abercrombie and Fitch over Baby Phat. Why don’t we strive to speak the most grammatically sound English possible? Why not seek to be the most cultured and diverse group of people? Why stay confined within the walls of a ghetto mentality, striving to be less than the standard of superiority?
Being successful in this world requires solid communication skills, visible intellect and regard for physical appearance. At no point in time is the use of Ebonics, also known as self-imposed retardation, acceptable. Subject-verb agreement exists for a reason. Use it. I be doin’ dis and she be doin’ dat is a “dialect” that screams uneducated. Where has uneducated every gotten anyone? To the NBA? Sure, and then bankruptcy court because poor verbal communication skills barely get you a job at McDonald’s, less known a corporate office position. There are so many bright, young black men and women whose behavior reflects the opposite. Instead of making our intellectual value known, we hide behind the self-fulfilled stereotypes imposed on us by mainstream media. We have accepted and, sadly, embraced looking dumb—walking around looking down, mumbling words. Good posture, chin up and eye contact shows confidence…Confidence in your ability to perform.
Would The Cosby Show be an iconic American (not just African-American) television show if Claire was a gum-popping, head-swirling baby mama? Absolutely, not. President Obama did not become the first of his kind “acting black” either. Those who have experienced real, lasting success measure their blackness against standards of excellence. In this world where the global minority rules, some may call it “acting White.” If that is the case, acting White should be the new black. We cannot continue to reduce ourselves to what we see and hear from the likes of Gucci Mane, a grown man with an ice cream cone tattooed on his face.
It can be a little painful, at times, to feel alienated by your own on the basis of doing little things right that go a long way. But, what should be even more painful is spitting on the blood, sweat and tears of pride our forefathers shed to make this country and this world what they are today. If active reverence means one (maybe two) black friends at work, so be it. If it means spending less time around family members who complain you think you’re better than them, who cares.
Your blackness is not defined by mainstream society or, most importantly, mentally captive black women, boys, girls and men. If acting white means acting like a person with high standards and lofty expectations, tap dance your way to the bank. Shuck and jive, shuck and jive…

The Jumpoff Commandments
1. You have no rights/claim—you cannot be mad that he/she spent New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, Fourth of July, etc with their legitimate significant other. It doesn’t make any sense to be mad because honestly, you’re the fallback chick. Get in where you fit in.
2. You are not the only jump-off—there is no sacred code that establishes only one jump-off per legitimate relationship. To the contrary, it’s a very real possibility that you are one of many. Expect it.
3. You are not special—no jump-off is special to the person they are dealing with. By the very nature of your status, you have accepted that you are not special and have allowed someone else in on the secret as well. Now they know they do not have to treat you with respect or civility because you have shown them not to by willingly assuming jump-off status. Please do not get the idea that you are special to this individual. Despite what they say, refer to your actual status for the real answer.
4. You are replaceable—because you are not special (refer to #3) and you contribute nothing of value to the person you are seeing, you can be dropped any time. This can and will be done with the utmost comfort to the person you are seeing. Make no mistake…there is no heartache when dropping a jump-off. Why would there be? They care nothing about you. They will rotate their other jump-offs (refer to #2) into your position with minimal discord in their schedule.
5. Legitimate girlfriends/wives are not jealous of your jump-off status—I repeat, legitimate mates are not jealous of the jump-off. They may feel sorry for you. They may feel like whooping that tail for messing with their significant other. But, they never feel jealousy. Why? Because they don’t have to. While a jump-off is a dime a dozen, a real woman/man knows their worth and therefore cannot possibly be jealous of a woman/man who clearly doesn’t respect themselves enough not to be treated in such a callous manner. A real woman knows they are irreplaceable and jump-offs are not (refer to #4)
6. Jump-offs are never number one—a jump-off will never slide into the legitimate person’s position. No matter what the person tells you, you will never be their legitimate mate. Why not? Because they wouldn’t have to work for it. Because you are not special (#3) and are replaceable (#4), there’s no challenge and no reason to stick around. Besides, even if you don’t see it, you’re a jump-off, most people know it and seldom has a person taken the risk in making an honest person out of you because it doesn’t benefit them to do so.
