What people see as the negative aspects of "acting Black" are really the effects of poverty.
Poor whites do "ghetto" shyt. As well as the poor of any race.
Once, about 100% of Black people were poor. We were actually property. We didn't even "own" our own bodies.
As time goes on the percentage of poor Black people goes down. I believe it's about 25% by now.
There are about 10% of white people that are poor.
What that means is: out of every 10 white people you see, you will see 1 poor white person. Makes you think that the poor white is an anomaly. White trash. Not a legit "white person".
If every third or fourth Black person you see is poor, that's a minority of Black people, but it's often enough it feels like the traits of poor people are intrinsic to Black people.
Slavery and the ongoing attempt to recover from it is the cause of the higher levels of poverty. Also, the white people of every income level go against us and prevent us from getting ahead.
It's actually very impressive that 3/4 of us have risen out of poverty, given the circumstances.
