Unrelated Story Time!
I went on a date the other day only to have this woman tell me I'm not black enough. I don't know if she expected me to roll up to the restaurant shuckin and jivin and singin negro spirituals, but I'm pretty sure I dodged a bullet on that one.

Did you tell her you have to keep the bass out of your voice, or else it scares the white folks?

I think she was looking for you to prove her wrong, you know, stabbing her and stealing her purse.

I'm no expert in the fine art of "ladies" but i'd put money on them feeling the same way about this.
CaptCutty
Because you took the bitch out without your formal durag, bro!
ChrisWise
I'm rockin the TWA; I couldn't wear a durag if I wanted hahaha

MrDirtyEars
Exactly how black are you?
ChrisWise
45.8%. My great great grandma was Native, so I'm not exactly half, but pretty damn close
DidgeryDrew
I'm a tall, hairy, man-bear, and ladies are always like 'go lift something' or 'catch me a trout from that stream.' The struggle is real.
ChrisWise
Maybe you want them to catch the trout for once. I got you man
kryoptik
I get it - people tell me all the time I'm too white bread to wear the shirts I do.
ChrisWise
I got you fam. Don't ever let people dictate your style

Upvoted for the unrelated story. I snort laughed.
AnnaNimitee
You seem like a funny, fun, smart, self-aware dude. In other words, a catch. You not only dodged a bullet, she missed out, big time.
IvnWng
You obviously didn't get jiggy with it
MMPRMastodon
I was once told that I would be more attractive if I weren't black. Talked on the phone, she thought I was white she ended up a supremacist
ChrisWise
Lol, that's like "you'd be more attractive if you had a completely different face and color" hahahaha wtf?
ChaMura
I don't get it either. Are you not stupid enough? Not irresponsible enough? Not 'hood' enough? I'm black, and I think it's horseshit. 1/2
ChaMura
She wants an "Ain't Shit" nigga, and is usually the first one that complains that "Niggas ain't shit." 2/2
ChrisWise
RIIIIGHT? I'm sorry I'm well read and polite, excuse me while I attempt to turn my neighborhood into a trap to impress your ass
MentalGiraffe
Not black enough? You better be more fucking black then the night sky or else she a dumb bitch.
ChrisWise
I unfortunately am a pretty light caramel, but I can grow an epic fricken Afro. Being mixed is pretty dope :)
wafflestompa
You don't have a black enough username either. Soulify yourself
ChrisWise
But it's my actual name :(

Aralogaan11
I have been told that too. Which I funny because I am native american... also that I was not "country" enough.
ChrisWise
My boy Chad keeps getting told he's 'not Mexican enough', dude is Straight Native hahahaha. I've seen it man
whatabunchofaholes
I'm a Hispanic female, every guy always wants you to cook Mexican food and speak Spanish to them... I know the feel
ChrisWise
One of my best friends is a Hispanic female and lies whenever people ask her if she knows Spanish because she can only understand it :(

I have a black gay friend and he's constantly told he's not black enough, not gay enough or too gay to be dateable. It's so weird
lostnortherner
My young black co-worker is a big theater nerd, loves YA books and writes fanfiction. She has ppl tell her she's not black enough constantly
ChrisWise
Hahaha, how can you be too gay? That doesn't even make sense. Tell your friend to come to Portland, and I'll wingman for him :)

I'm a white chick from Ohio. Why did they teach us this song in elementary school?!?!
ChrisWise
Because it's Ohio? I dunno :/
LosPer
Cultural appropriation...lol
ShakeyGraves
Cultural appropriation is the most ignorant term
LosPer
It's an absurd term...and completely without merit. I was being sarcastic
YellowHattedOwl
I wasn't aware there were requirements to be black. Woah, are there requirements for being white?!?!
thenotoriousginger
Act awkward and consistently deny white privilege
francolk
more like rules and if you break them then you become a latino, that's how México was created, by fallen white people...

MungoVitoGotHellaCats
Just make sure that when you dance you're extremely confident, but shouldn't be.

Yes, I've been told I'm too white before.
KillahQueen
Yes. Think mayo is spicy
ChrisWise
I had a girl tell me ranch was spicy once -_-
ChrisWise
Sunburns -_- jk, you just have to be able to sound businesslike over the phone
thisisjustmytemporaryusername
Shit. I'm doing it all wrong (the sunburn part)
YellowHattedOwl
That's true :( being pale sucks sometimes. Can't go anywhere without applying sunblock before
SuperJere
Right? I'm so white I get a sunburn if I walk too close to a microwave! :-D
YellowHattedOwl
Omg no pale person is safe even indoors!
ChrisWise
I've seen my mom get sunburnt in under 5 minutes; and then there's me, taking carefree naps in the sun....
YellowHattedOwl
Lucky duck! I fell asleep ONCE at the beach and got a second degree sunburn.
ChrisWise
I had a very mild sunburn once: I spent 6 hrs a day, 5 days a week outside in 116 weather, and on the last day hiked a mtn shirtless at noon
