I don't.

I am white and i don't do that...Why do you have to think it's everyone? My God...

Geeze! How do black people act? All the black people I know act like people..period. In fact, all the people I know, black and white, act like who they are...themselves. Maybe SOME white people think it's cool to act like SOME black people(?) What difference does that make anyway?

In the U.S., I think we don't really have an ethnic identity. I think that the black people provide us with this and some people, especially young men, need this to identify with.

because we have crunk ass songs lol

Because black people have a tendency to be "fly" if you know what i mean. There are some white people who feel the need to be a "posers" by using ridiculous slang and hand movements that never look as cool as the white person doing it thinks it looks. The fact is that it's not something a white person can do naturally well, it has to come natural, when it is forced, it just looks dumb. example: black..."why you be actin a foo??" white..."Why are you pretending to be something your not?"

When a "white girl" puts "African Pride" hair grease in her caucasian hair, wears huge gold bamboo earrings, says, "dis", "dat", "wit", "u is" ect, I am sorry, but alot of black women and men talk like this and I am not saying all black people. I dated interacially for 16 years. My husband now is caucasian. I still spoke proper dialect. I never forgot who I was. I never put corn rows in my hair or walked around thinking I was a black woman. There are many types of white women who date black men. You have your TRASHY white women and your respectful, educated, employed white women. I find it offensive when I hear white men and white women talking ebonics or dressing like some rap star with full gold grills. It seems the white race has taken what black people started in their communities and now use it and think its cool. The music, the flashy cars with the rims started back in the day, infact many, many years ago before half of these current wannabe's even heard of black music or its origin. Flavor Flav, Public Enemy, Dr. Dre, and Grandmaster Flash started the road to hip hop many years ago. When I now see wannabe rappers like "Paul Wall", it is a disgrace to the real music I grew up on, such as Jodeci, Keith Sweat, Mtume, Barry White,ect.. Now all it is is sex, money and getting high.

I think it starts with young kids that are trying to find there identity. Most humans have a need to belong or find an activity, hobby, or there daily job that will make them happy. Some times it is along process that goes on for many years or it never happens for some. The young adults see all the music videos with money being flashed around, the high energy music, the alcohol, beautiful young ladies, the club scene, dancing, driving expensive cars, etc. Then there are the commercial that are given the endorsement of artist, tying the product to the artist. This is not only for music, but also TV, video games, and other kids that have what they want, These are the things that young kids see, in which they think they want, because they have no experience in any of the things yet. They have never experienced a hang over, DUI, date rape, credit card bills, auto loan, insurance etc. Because of there age they are not able to drink, get into a club, buy things they want, because they have to talk there parents to buying them. Most kids feel like if they can't have something they want, they want it even more. So that only leaves them with a few options. Listen to the music, clothing choice, pants around there ankles, hats turn to the side, ear rings in guys, to sexy of outfits for young ladies, experimenting with sex way to young etc. All this is being done to try and find there place in life. It is very sad to see all this going on, and all driven by the greed of money. The artists, and companies that sale the products, is making tons of from these young naive kids trying to find there identity. Is not only black artist problem, but also white artist and corporations selling there products to these young naive kids

there is no acting a certain way based upon race, there are only stereotypes that people base on race, but you can't act the way of a certain race.

Because the culture is addictive. It's not just Amer. whites, it's Europeans, Asians, and so on. The culture is so addictive because 99.9% of it doesn't see race. The culture embraces all. Unlike some other ones.

I have no idea and I cringe when they do. But not all black people act like they are portrayed in the media and I must admit when I see blacks acting that way I don't think much of them. In the UK blacks don't put on a "show" and make much of not being able to speak the english language which only hinders their ability to advance in the world, and then blame it on society in general or "the white man". HEY I know racism exists and hate it, but come on, pimping around isn't a plus for anyone.

maybe some white people lean more to the black side beacause they like the music and either jam with a lot of black people or live in a black community and may well have black ansisters as you no were all one anyway so who gives a f***....
