i am me said:
why? what if they truely like bob marley or any black, mexican, or asian artists. i'm just saying, there's no such thing as acting "white" or acting "black"
So, if there is no such thing as acting black or acting white than you are saying that the hip hop culture that originated in the black inner cities was not fertilized by the black experience in those inner cities. You are a racist for saying that! How dare you say that the blacks do not have a seperate and unique culture. A culture that manifests itself in a seperate English slang and style of dress.
Now, I am sure that there is a common culture that all groups accept.....such as in the work place people tend to adapt their unique cultural aspects to the common culture of the larger society. Some people may cross cultural borders in certain areas such as music and speech patterns blurring the lines a little but the large cultural picture is still visable to those with understanding.
I assure you that there are diverse ways of acting that can be attributed to certain groups. Noticing that is not racist it is merely pattern recognition that only intellectually advanced people can recognize.
