No offense but it is not possible for a black person to act black it is in our blood I mean don’t get me wrong, but although we are raised in other enviroments and different cultures it’s just the way we are. And the whole black’s act like their white thing we might talk like it and act like it but please believe it is just a show. Some might have the money to put gold teeth in and some might not and the whole hood thing honey its just the way of our lives. Trust we ask the same questions about whites and why they try to act black and why some wald around and act like their better than others.

Why are some people like rednecks and others like Donald Trump types. Why are some WASPS and others trailer trash? It’s because people are people in all races. There are people with money and people without. People with lots of education and people without. People with strong ties to their cultural heritage and others without. Until we stop looking at everything through the lens of race we’ll never get it right. I’m of mixed heritage and I know what I’m talking about.

Name : Susan, Gender : F, City : Long Island, State : NY, Country : United States, Education level : Over 4 Years of College, Social class : Upper middle class,Why is it that there is ‘acting white’ or ‘acting black’ in America? I have hosted foreign exchange students and they are absolutely amazed by the culture division between the 2 races. My Italian student constantly wondered why blacks spoke and acted differently here – when in Italy, there was no ‘black’ language – everyone there speaks Italian with no ‘black’ accents or ebonics inserted into the language. Interesting, hmmmm?

In my house-hold, there is no such thing as acting black. To my mother either you act like you have since or you or ignorant. Some like to follow this BS on TV that is refered to as the hip-hop culture that insights a certain type of behavior. Others, such as myself were rasied very differently.
