Internal Black Violation

A thought or action you keep to yourself, because disclosure could cause others to question your credibility as a proud, up-to-date, "true" black person aligned with African-American cultural norms.

The term was discussed by radio personalities Anji Corley and Mike Brooks during WPGC 95.5 FM's morning broadcast on Feb. 2, 2010.

A black person may conceal, as an Internal Black Violation (IBV), the fact s/he enjoys country music. The listening preference is the Black Violation, and the concealment makes it Internal.
