The African American community does not fit into what ever box we have been put into before. A message to POC And non POC , you are allowed to do things that are for "Caucasian people" because the reality of it all is that BLACK PEOPLE DO THAT TOO . I put together a list of things that black People do too and here it is . We go to the beach, we are not fraid to get nto the water or get out hair wet or any other stereotype you have ever believed before. The new age of black people we love the beach , we love the water the sand between our toes and we love the surf ! We are vegans and vegetarians , we care about our health we don't always eat the artery clogging soul food that youre hear about . Many of us are all natural as well as vegans and vegetarians ,when i became vegetarian i met about 5 other black vegetarians and it was awesome . We travel We love to travel and get stamps on our passport , i have been out of the country twice! Its amazing we are traveling the states going to music festivals we areleaving the country and even backpacking europe yes we do that to . Not only are we traveling but we own travel agencies which takes me to the fact that We are etreprenuers , We own businesses ever heard of black wall street? Well let me tell you its the same as wallstreet only with black entreprenuers . Black people own catering comapnies , clothing lines makeup lines ,publishing companies ! You name it black wallstreet has it . We go to college not only do we go to colleges but thre are historivally black colleges and universities founded for us way back before affirmative action started.These universities have been held high in the black community and deemed notably prestigious and illustrious . We eat sushi ,again we are a diverse group of people we do not eat fried chicken everyday .We love to go to benihana and your local sushi bar just as much as the next sushi lover ! We do yoga ,We love to be centered and find our inner namaste. Yoga is one of the most relaxing things I've ever done in my life. I've done hot yoga , yoga on a rooftop , yoga on a lawn ! It's amazing wherever you are and necessary to my relaxation process ! That was my short list of things that black People do too. .Please feel free to comment on this post with more things that black People do too .

We can talk, too. We aren't all blessed to speak Ebonics. Most of us can understand it, however. My blackness doesn't water me down to be illiterate or ghetto. I speak well because of my upbringing. I speak well because it's how I speak - skin color will never factor into anyone speech. I don't speak "white." I simply speak so people can understand.
