Im saying, if you were raised this way, then its perfectly fine. acting black or "ghetto" when you live in the burbs with no blacksaround and you dapping people saying "whats good my black bretheren!" idc if you dont think its not acting black, but its damn sure acting out ofcharacter.

COM'ON PEOPLE WHEN SOMEONE SAYS YOUR TRYING TO ACT BLACK ITS DIRECTED TOWARD MORE INNER-CITY/HOOD BLACKS NOW STOP ACTING SO NAIVE!

really you know what people mean by that even though your right and itshouldnt be referred to like that! Just like everyone in this thread knows SOUNDING white would mean "HEY, DUDES, LETS GET SOME CHEESE AND CRACKERS"<<< now not every white person sounds like that of course but thats how they get mimiced! IMO!

MOST IGNORANT THREAD EVER.....and that means a lot on NT.


1. 1ST OF like someone already mentioned "How does one act a race"?

2. 2ndly do you, if you like the hip hop look or rocker, tighter fitting clothes look just do you. A lot of people usedto clown on me for acting/dressing white in high school it is ignorant on both fronts.

3. What I find appealing about a rapper like Kanye is he really doesn't care at the end of the day what the "hood" or anyone else has to sayabout his "sexuality" or street-cred based on how he dresses. DO YOU.






I do agree with you on one thing.....a lot of those "goon" dressing dudes who would make fun of me back then for dressing in tighter clothes androcking vans and wallet chains and iced out skull belts are dressing like that now. Go figure.

i'm not saying i'm right, and i'm not saying i agree with it, but you cannot deny that "acting black" became a phrase a few years back.if you've been exposed to any type of pop culture since like 1998 then you should know what people mean by the phrase.

I mean, acting black doesnt mean you are painting your face black. nothing to do with the actual color of black ppls skin. but the hood/ghettoattitude is prevalent in the black community. thats acting black. what part of that you guys dont understand? a good example of "acting black" isdude from malibu's most wanted and kip from napolean dynamite AFTER he met that black girl (forgot her name)

Ghetto is not a human attribute, it is an area of sub-standard housing


Attributes, and style, and art forms belong to people not races.

Too many people don't have their own style and rely on what others are doing to create it.

You can't act a skin color.

You can act 'hood', but that's not the same as acting black, even if 'act hood' is what you mean. Everyone who wears black skin 'actsblack'. Period.

You can act 'professional', but that's not the same as acting white, even if 'act professional' is what you mean. Everyone who wears whiteskin 'acts white'.

Eminem is NOT a white dude who acts black. He is also not a white dude who fails to act white. He's a white dude who acts hood; that's what I say abouthim, and there's nothing wrong with him being the way he is.

Tiger Woods is not a black dude who acts white, nor is he a black dude who fails to act black. He is a black dude who acts professionally nearly all the time.There's nothing wrong with that, and that's just how he is... but he does not act a skin color.
