I lived in an apartment 2 years ago and next to me lived a black family. There were two teenagers a boy and a girl -- for reference this was in California.
Every day after school the boy would bring his friends home and they would sit on the back patio which was next to my home office. I would listen to the talk of the mixed racial group go on about various teenage topics. Everyone talked in the same accent you couldn't tell the whites from the blacks they all talked in Black Ghetto slang. (It appears that the Whites want to imitate the blacks and it seems very popular to be Black.) Not only did they all talk the same they dressed the same.
My question is if being Black is so bad why do so many kids want to act, dress and talk like African-Americans?
Can you imagine in your day growing up in Georgia -- Whites trying to act Black?
What I am saying is that things have changed a lot but I'd be happier if kids had better role models and learned to talk English in high-school rather than Ghetto talk.
LOL, no. That would have been beyond my imagination back then.
Its the same at the integrated high schools where I sub.
Asians and Mexicans sound EXACTLY like the blacks!Up to and including extensive use of the N word.
I have a feeling they don't that way at home,however.
