Answer 2

No, it isnt!

Answer 3

Yes, just the way a lot of whites around the world imitate white Americans.  People actually tend to imitate what they see on the television or movie screen.

Answer 4

They envy us cause we are the S**t lol I am kidding but we are the best out of africans and the islanders

Answer 5

American blacks are the only ones doing anything big that is noticable.

The big movies, music, stardom, even politics.  I saw the one answer

about Nigeria, b ut the truth is most Nigerians come to Britain or the

US to enhance their education.  Everyone wants to be like the Americans

Answer 6

funny, when i lived in Europe the blacks there hated black Americans...hmm.

Answer 7

Most Africans i see daily and know don't "immitate blacks"...

Answer 8

it's like, everyone wants to be a n***a, but noone wants to be a n***a.

that's from the chapelle show before everyone gets butthurt.

Answer 9

Black Americans are the most successful diaspora. We have invented much, we have the highest standard of living, and we basically bring the islanders and africans to shame

Answer 10

No, they really don't. Quite a few other nations hate Americans. We don't tend to have manners and respect like other countries do. My high school had a exchange program and all of the teenagers from other countries where completely different from us. Besides the obvious difference in language, you could be in they hallway full of students and point out the exchange students. They dressed very different, they acted different. They wheren't like us much at all.

I just don't see what you are talking about. In Africa you don't hear much about Crips and Bloods. In Jamacia, they smoke pot, but they don't have the crime we do. I don't think you're right.

Answer 11

i find it amusing that alot of white teenagers in britain have adopted this style of talking where they sound like a black american. like they're little gangsters. its so sad!

Answer 12

Because to be American is a standard to reach for! We are the Media Platform of the world....... So everyone gets a shot to see just how we live. How they interpret it, is another thing......

Answer 13

A lot more in the UK used to imitate Bob Marley and the rastas.  Fashions come and go with the music.

Answer 14

No only in the UK cause we both speak the same language.

In Africa they dont France they dont

English speaking nations with black people will.

Nigeria has the higest amount of black people in any country 150 million more than the amount of black people outside africa put together yet they dont mimic Black Americans so you question is wrong your not the standard of blackness

Black Americans are only the standard of blackness in the western world.

And English speaking Black people are likely to mimic you lot

In the UK they only mimic music the rest nope

Om the UK we mostly mimic the Caribbean than Americans

EDIT

Why do you Americans get pissed of that you are started to get hated when you come out with that talk that everyone wants to be American your asking for it I dont want to be American nver would. Most of the world does not want to be American. Middle Easterns hate Americans. Most Nigerians loool theres more people in Nigeria than Russia and your saying most Nigerians are migrating to the Western world how if most were they would out number black Americans within a decade and Black Brits. West Africans even look down on Black Americans The world don't revolve around American, Americans revolve around America everyone in the world wants to be rich not a nationality as that changes nothing

Answer 15

alot of whites do also

Answer 16

I notice that too. When I went to London, England some of my black friends try to have an american accent when they had a Cockney accent. It was kinda funny
