Why do a lot of white kids these days try and act and sound black?

Question

Is my son did that, I would kick him out of my home....Is multiculturalism destroying our country?

Answer 1

It's not multiculturalism. It's MTV. As soon as the media glorifies a trend, such as "gangsta" lifestyle, kids copy it because it's the new "cool."

Answer 2

Do you listen to Elvis Presley?  He is practically worshiped as King of rock and roll and he got so famous for sounding "black"  when he sang.  Whites in the 50's would not let their children listen to "jungle music", so to make money, Sun records said they hired Elvis because he was white "with the black sound".  It is not new in history. Many whites have  imitated blacks when it comes to music, but that's no problem with me, because imitation is the truest form of flattery.

Answer 3

they wanna be cool so they do and act like black

Answer 4

They're having an identity crisis.  It goes away as they get older and discover who they are.  If you kick your son out of your home for going through a phase, then you need some anger management counseling.

Answer 5

Ah, so america is suppose to be all white when about 40,00 year ago it had nothing to with the white race

Answer 6

probably tryin to fit in and rap music

Answer 7

No, multiculturalism isn't destroying our country, but I see that racism is still alive.

Kids try to sound black because they admire black actors, singers etc.

If I were your father, I would kick you out of the house for having such a bigoted attitude, I think. No, if I were your father, I would have raised you not to think like a cro-magnon.

Answer 8

This isnt happening "these days"...it isnt a current trend...and it has nothin to do with multiculturalism because its been goin on for almost a century.

White Kids have ALWAYS emulated black culture. Jazz....Rock & Roll...Disco...Funk...and now Hip Hop are all styles that were originally black but have been appropriated by white people. Your generation was imitating black music when they fell in love with rock in the 60's, and Disco in the 70's. our grandparents were imitating blacks when they fell in love with Jazz in the 30's and 40's....the cycle has been goin on for generations
