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)Originally Posted by bjamez20

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.

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.

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.
