Animation Short - Frame Of Mind: House Ni**er Part 2

I think about this moment a lot and how it's made me feel over the years. This event has definitely left an impact on me. There are times I question my own blackness and think "Am I turning my back on my own community" or if I am doing enough to support it. I know it's silly to let the words of a stranger dictate your life, but in a weird way that man validated all the things I felt other black people thought of me. My interests, hobbies and mannerisms aren't stereo typically "black", so black identity is something I've always had to struggle with. Being called an "Oreo" or similar names just seemed like people tiptoeing around a name they actually wanted to call me. A "house nigger".
