The next time you're with a group of friends and a white guy just DOESN'T speak to you or is blatantly rude, or doesn't know WHAT to say that doesn't OFFEND you as blacks remember this thread.


I promise I'll never speak on race/culture on this forum again as of today. 

Two things I'm seeing with this particular gem: "educate myself on social etiquette around blacks", sounds like you grew up in an Elitist environment, kind of confirmed by how your family caused another to cry because she no longer accepted the "Levar Burton" idea of culture, I'm not sure what you mean by "etiquette around blacks", does that mean around black people your demeanor should change? 
And how does this thread relate to a random white guy being rude to a random black guy?  

OP's post and your observation on his post seems spot on. But there is two sides to this. When I am in the corporate world, I do change my vernacular, but when I am hanging with my fam, I do speak the dialect.

It just bothers me that he won't just come out of the closet and make his intentions known instead of trying to play dumb.

 

[dmoney82]

I think the OP sounds really young and naive.

Just relax OP and mature and you'll realize jsut because you dont understand something totally, it doesnt always mean its bad.

I'm black and I agree.

People are products of their environments.

Judge me.

youre dumb right along with him if you think all blacks act ghetto, how are all blacks a product of the ghetto? all of us were born in the hood?

Where did he state this in the post I quoted? Please show me

 

[twizzi]

first page and here is the link

 

[kingzarus]

Hm.. so we all act ghetto. Ok. I'll write that down because I didn't know that. I'm black btw.. from inner city New Orleans..

 

[Sir San Diego]

I'm asking black people in particular, does it bother you when non-blacks act "ghetto"? Especially when you know they have no idea about the inner-city or even spent a great while there?

Are we supposed to pretend that only black folks carry on ignorantly and that it is more natural for us as opposed to "non-blacks."

Non-blacks... really? Is blackness a condition that has "ghetto" as one of it's syptoms? What the %*#% are you really trying to say?

Explain and quit with the cop out. Man up. I'm trying to "take you serious as an adult."

 

[brandon3000]

fab has a pick with like 8 Hermes belts. What's wrong with our culture!?

 

[ggarvinxx3]
