7 Traits & Habits That Make People Accuse You Of Not Being Black Enough

Using words “Like,” “Dude” or “Awesome”

Why should you say “yo” if you’re not used to saying yo?…as the saying goes, you are a product of your environment. Just because people say “like” or “dude” a lot, it doesn’t mean that they’re trying to be something they’re not. Most people can’t help what rolls off their tongue. It’s almost like accents…you just can’t help it. People need to stop treating “black” as if it’s some sort of country that if you come from. Black people come from all over the globe and therefore sound and speak differently as a result. If anything, forcing yourself to use words that you might not be used to would be trying to be something you’re not.
