Are you a

Chalk Board or a Black board

Obsessed with the color white,

White chalk goes on it.

Stroked left and right,

Drawing left to right.

Giving the lessons of life,

They are in schools.

Still left with dirt inside,

There is residue left on them.

Take your take and tell what am I?

Umm, I am not sure.

The whiter I get more the dirty I am.

And it does get dirty when white goes on it because it is not black anymore.

You are a

TOOTHBRUSH

Title: Magic Dirt on ME : This ai'nt something unusual

The magic dirt is the paste used with a toothbrush, paste has a gritty feeling
Nothing unusual about a toothbrush & toothpaste, it is a daily use item

Obsessed with the color white,

Whiter teeth are a big selling point of toothbrushes (and toothpaste)

Stroked left and right,

The brushing action

Giving the lessons of life,

Brushing one's teeth is among the earliest lessons from a parent to a child

Still left with dirt inside,

Toothbrushes hold germs (slight guess here!)

Take your take (I presume this is take your time?)

Take your time brushing, don't rush it

HINT

The whiter I get more the dirty I am.

Toothbrushes fade with use, meaning that coloured bristles lose their colour (bit of a guess again!)
