Not black enough?

Yes, you read the title right. Well. what do I mean by "not black enough"? One thing that I found interesting about what people say about me, is that I don't come across as a "black" person or I sound like "a white person". I find it very amusing when I hear this. First of all what does it mean to be "black". It seems as though there is some kind of criteria or expectation for "blackness" which is why people assume I behave differently. Also when people make this comment, they assume it is compliment. As if I don't act like "the rest of them". I know that I am a black female and I am proud of it and the way God has created me. But I am an individual who doesn't live a life I'm supposed to based on the colour of my skin but according to the word of God ( 1Peter 2:9 ). I am not my hair by India Arie Honestly, comments such as those do not faze me or make me feel any type of way. Why? WELL India A
