It is "acting white" not "acting wealthy".

Acting wealthy in that community is getting gold teeth, big rims, a pure bred pit bull, and meeting two in the champagne room.

If you "act white", you are valuing education. Doing so removes you from many social circles. Other activities than can be considered as "acting white":

- preparing for college
- respecting police
- speaking with proper dialect
- reporting crimes
- dressing appropriately for work/school
- abstaining from drugs
- committed marriage before children
Growing up, it was always uncool to be the smart white kid. I remember one instance in particular in 7th grade. Every student was issued a gradebook binder or some shit. There was a page in the back of it that you had to turn in to all your teachers on the last day of the semester. There would be a slot for every class you had and every teacher for all 7 classes would write down your progress. On my 7th and final class, she picked this mexican kid out of the class and had us all hand them to him so he could give them to her, and he was opening them all and reading the progress of each student and was like "Hell yayah, mah boi Fernando wit 4 Fs dawg" or some shit. Don't know why that always stuck with me, but it did. lol

He is probably a world class pot smoker, nowadays.

i think that a lot of people who grow up in a bad situation will begin to see success and those that succeed as the bad guy. it happens, regardless of race or any other factor. it could be "acting white", it could be "the patriarchy", it could be "rich guys are crooks".

Picture an old coal mining town in Ohio/Pennsylvania back when the industry was thriving, the future "mine kids" who were white definitely treated the smarter, more economically privileged, future college attending kids with a level of contempt and disrespect. It's the exact same thing. Zombie is exactly right, whiteness in that context means success and it can mean different things to different people. It's a defense mechanism to cope with things you really wish you could achieve.

this doesn't change what i said at all. seeing success as the badguy isn't limited by skin color. it's not a black or hispanic thing. they are just where you've had experience with it, in our current culture.

Stop defending that retard. He knows he was the bad kid in school and didn't give a shit. His utter lack of desire to learn was the problem. All about fun, gave no fuck about school or learning.

"Those who succeed are the bad guys!"

Come on, zomb. srsly?

At that point I guess I'd suggest that I would like everyone of all races to "act white" . . .
