What Bothers you more: Blacks who act White or Whites who act Black?

[Listen]

My gut tells me the answer is going to swayed by what color you are, so I polled it.

For me it's 100% whites acting black, mainly because it 'looks' like it takes effort....like you need to try really hard to 'act' a different color since white is so bland.

 

[Sierra Mist]

Define acting white and acting black...

 

[HelgaPataki]

[Ohene]

But lets clarify...what is acting black ?

Its crazy how every race from yellows to whites to browns wanna try and be us

 

[Squirtle]

[Mowgli]

Those options are for suckers. What does it say about us when reading, being polite, being smart, etc are considered "being white" whereas being loud and ignorant is considered "being black?" fukk that

White dudes who grow up in the projects act like their environment; it's to be expected. Black dudes who grow up in the suburbs sometimes act like their environment, although in my experience a lot of them pretend like they're from the hood.

Thank you. I hate how black people think being "ghetto" is being black and if you're proper you are "Acting white". Africans are as black as you can get and they aren't walking around ghetto. It's not a race thing. It's a class thing. And it's racist to associate high class with white people and associate low class with black people. There is no such thing as acting black because even African Americans weren't all ghetto fabulous back in the 1920s-1980s. This type of mentality disturbs me and it only holds black people back.

Thats what makes it worse though breh

These white people from the Suburbs aint had no struggle not cause they from the suburbs but just because they familys aint build em like that. Yet they are the ones who seem to think being black = being loud/ignorant, using our slang, listening to rap, saying the nword and being obnoxious etc etc.

Thats why i said 'act black" in quoatations because its not the fact they tryna be us. Its the us they think they are being that irks me. The message theyre sending regarding what they think about us.

Dont listen to no Tyga - Rack City tryna show me you know all the lyrics...or rap to some nnew Ludacriss acting like its the joint and debating when I say its wack. Do you and let me do me. Aint nothing more annoying than a white dude thinking they can really discuss hip hop (among other things they dont "get") and shyt with me

I've never heard being polite described as acting white in my life that's a new one
Matter of fact I haven't heard someone called "white" for the other two, but maybe that's just me
