Dear Tiffany, ("from a very young age we are taught to change our speech patterns, our words, ... EVERYTHING!!!") Well young ACTRESS, by what means were these teachings imposed upon you?

By the MEDIA dear, by Hollywood, movies, tv, commercials, etc. constantly trying to WHITEIFY your race!!! You and your industry, miss; you did it to yourselves.

People like me, on the other hand, always have said, they're black. That's fine. Leave them alone.
