African Americans are any type of character, they are often the bad kid, like in love stories with white girls. They have a hard time getting accepted by the white family. I havent watched many moves from a long time ago but the old movies i did see i noticed them being stereotyped into the "bad guy"

In high school rumors spread really fast and most of the time aren't true. There was a rumor that i cheated on tests and homework. I don't know how it started but the people that knew me and ask me know that im not but I cant really persuade everyone because theres too much people and a lot of them wont believe anything.
