Naw, I've always been black, but my friends in H.S. use to make fun of me because I didn't act black. They told me that I needed to take a shower to wash off my paint, and/or wear urban clothing like FUBU, Sean Jean, etc. to prove my race. They gave me a very hard time about it where I almost did something crazy to a few of them. That's one reason I tend to avoid people now, due to all the hardships I had with it growing up.
That's what most people told me. It sucks because I acted like they were my friends, so I never really had any good friends in H.S. because of that.
Well, those friends were considered the "cool" people at my H.S. I tried very hard to fit in with the "cool" people, because people always felt I looked cool and that's where I fit in. In all reality, I didn't fit in too well.
