[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 6183135, member: 9213"] Yeah as a kid growing up in Bushwick Brooklyn among other places I got that crap. ALOT. I've gotten into fights over being told I'm acting white. To which my response usually was: "It's not acting white its being educated. Learn to put together a proper sentence sometime ingrate." Then I'd get the usual: "Just because you talk white, you think you better than us." To which I'd reply: "YES. I DO." That's usually where things would completely come off the rails. Now of course I didn't think that I was better than them. But with everything that was going on with people in our neighborhoods. With actual thugs and criminals getting a pass and in some cases being looked up to. And I'll I'm doing is enjoying things that I like to do like read (prose and comics) and play RPG's and figuring out how stupid math works (ST00PID MATH...) and they're gonna call me out like crapped in their corn flakes? If it seems like I'm still bitter about it it's because in a lot of ways I am. My 11 year old is very much how i was at his age. Except kinder and smarter. He has a lot of friends who share his interests and not a lot of people who will ridicule him for it. Even if they did, and he can be sensitive sometimes, I know that he'll handle it well. Better than his old man at least. Alot of the time I was able to just walk away from idiots. But sometimes you get tired of hearing the same crap constantly and you need to speak up. And if someone has a problem with you speaking up for yourself and feels the need to get violent then they need to be handled. Sometimes it goes well and sometimes you wind up getting jumped by three or four guys and getting beaten so bad that you piss blood for a few days. But sometimes tucking your tail and running isnt a feasible option. [/QUOTE]
