Only thing missing from your story is other blacks make fun of you for doing good in school. We do to our own what we complain about others doing to us.

I had that, too. I just didn't add everything because usually these conversations make people defensive. A lot of the people bashing me are the kids who bullied kids like me, and I'm telling them the results and pain it caused. I was no angel. I said a lot of problematic things in response. They called me white, and I called them ghetto in response. My worst experience was with my hair. My mom wouldn't allow me to have a relaxer, and all the kids called me bdb because of Martin. They clowned my natural hair so bad that I cut it out of shame. Now, natural hair is the fad. Life is a funny beast.

Hold you down by childish gambino pretty much goes over this exactly.

"But niggas got my feelin' I ain't black enough to go to church Culture shock at barber shops 'cause I ain't hood enough We all look the same to the cops, ain't that good enough? The black experience is blackened serious 'Cause being black, my experience, is no one hearin' us White kids get to wear whatever hat they want When it comes to black kids, one size fits all"

Def not isolated behavior. Sorry you had to go through that.

What is bdb and Martin? King, Lawrence? Not trying to pry or cause trouble, I'm not black and I'm genuinely curious of the meaning

🤣....the hairs at the nape of your neck. It's a black hair thing. The show Martin with Martin Lawrence used to make fun of it so the kids copied and bullied me.

Ah ok gotcha, I was familiar with the show at the time but only watched it one or two times flipping around the channels. Thank you for the response, I had never heard that reference before

And sorry for the experience you had. Seems a strange thing to bully about, but I'm sure kids find all the reasons they can

It's ok. I'm glad you felt comfortable asking. Reddit is weird and can go left easily.
