In the past blacks were not allowed to read, therefore when you only ‘hear’ the english language spoken by white slave owners with a southern accent, a mispronunciation will be embedded into black culture. Through generations many blacks were isolated from white society and kept this accent.

I think the fact that there are yahoo groups relating to hairy arms is a direct result of the vast resources available on the net today. Millions like you for the first time can actually discuss this topic openly. It goes without saying that the media can turn any form of beauty into a money making hit, so it takes a person to really look within himslef to find his or her true desires. I for one am a fan myself 🙂

Great answers were given above and another reason is the fact that in the past, blacks were excluded from white activities therefore many blacks now label the variety of activities that whites enjoy as being ‘white’ as a way of defining the meaning of what it means to be black or white. This has a great affect on a young black persons acceptance withing his community.

You said it yourself, Hispanic Americans. The way the English language is taught in this country just happens to be of the ‘white’ Accent. Therefore unless the Hispanic American has been heavily influenced by his native land, he will continue to speek the English language as is taught and represented in this country.
