    Oreos = "Fake Black People"?

    By JVIPER88  |  Posted July 21, 2008  |  Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
     

     

    Not judgemental one way or the other. Just wanted to ask: "Oreo" is usually used as a derogatory term against black people who tend to be educated, speak intelligently, have degrees and a good job.

     

     

    Is it fair to categorize people in such a light? Are these people who have been categorized as "oreos" really betraying their african culture? Is it fair to consider someone who speaks "like a white person" to be considered a fake black person?

     

     

    Just wanted to gather opinions on the issue. Thanks for sharing!
