That has always bothered me I am black and I talk nothing like that. It also makes it seem like that is the normal way almost all black people talk. A kid at my school today started pretending to be a gangsta and he described it as acting black. I asked him what made him think that that was the way black people acted and he was speechless. I just think that we are at a time where people should realise that ethnic stereotypes aren't true.

Hip-hop culture, which is predominantly black, promotes such behavior making it seem like all black people are gangsters, and that having anything to do with hip-hop is being black. Its totally riduculous.

Because some people have narrow minds. If you dress goth they don't say "Hey he's dressing like trailer trash who's mom is a whore and dad own's a meth lab" they just say goth....

Some are true, some are not. A lot of the time those are sterotypes of people who are low class and uneducated and speak in a tone and demeanor that is typical of someone with that type of upbringing. Someone with a poor education who cannot speak with correct grammar or conjucate their verbs correctly is pretty annoying and I hear it quite often in my classes and around me.

I've honestly never heard anyone say "talking black"

but the bottom line is that people love stereotypes.

So it doesn't matter that your white you are still being ignorant towards a race of people even if it is your own.

No no, what's really being said is that people like that are "trying" to act black. Trying and failing.

Sorry I thught you said that because you thought I was just talking about white people. I agree with you that their are some white people that act stupid, there are stupid people in every race, but I don't think all white people should be generalised as being stupid noobs.
