Having grown up in the New Orleans area and not identifying with most white boys for several reasons, I had a lot of influence from black males. I found myself getting more respect from black kids than white. I've lived in low-income housing for most of my life.
The first neighborhood I grew up in was predominantly black, where I got pretty good at sports - boxing, football, basketball.
My first cassette tapes purchased were MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice and Bell Biv DeVoe. First CD was Dr Dre's The Chronic.
I idolized athletes, drug dealers and pimps instead of squares with real jobs and marriages.
I have been accused of talking and dressing "like a N-----r" by white classmates, ironically while wearing Nautica/Polo, jeans and boat shoes and speaking with a southern drawl which I had to make a conscious effort to cease.
Instead of TRL on MTV, I watched 106 and Park and Comic View on BET.
Some of my black friends called me "white chocolate".
My first vehicle was a full-sized SUV (Ford Expedition, but really wanted a Cadillac Escalade) with obnoxiously loud bass.
Smoked blunts on the daily for years.
Smashed countless "thick" white chicks. |
