Why do people have a problem with white boys acting black?

Question

why do people have problems with white kids talking stereotypically black, listening to hip hop and wearing what them rappers wear.. e.g eminem, 2Pac, or even Kevin Federline.

but they don't mind white boys, walking around in skinny WOMEN jeans, straightening their hair, wearing tight love v neck shirts like women clothes, or dressing in black, painting their nails black and wearing black massacre like women (goths).

I would say its a racial issue,

I think people hate white kids that embrace this rap subculture, as it is mostly associated with black people.. they don't mind black people doing it but not their own race!

Answer 1

whats acting black ....its a color ....

Ha... i know what you meant i was being sarcastic..

.lol but  i don't really care..if there acting "black" or whatnot

Answer 2

Personally I don't care what other act like as long as they aren't hurting anyone why do others care.  But some people care, because they think only black people can act that way, but when others act that what they believe it is fake.  But some black people whom act that way can be fake just like anyone else.  But usually they get away with it, because they are black.  Just like when black people want to dress goths people don't take them seriously either, people think only white people can be true ones.  So I guess it is a racial issue since some people think only black people can dress street while only white people can dress goth.  People need to really that there are black goth people and there are white street people too.  People really need to stop judging people by their race since you don't know that person, you don't know how that person is raise or their interest.  For all you know that white people could be an extreme hip hop fan or that black people could be an extreme emo fan you don't really know since you don't know them.  Just because they are a certain race doesn't mean anything, because you're a certain race doesn't mean you act a certain way or like certain music.  Some people need to stop getting their mind wrap around race so much.

Answer 3

You guys know what it means to "act black". Even though black is a color. It's irritating when I see "you can't act black, it's a color". Stop saying that. You know what it means. Just answer the d**n question.

But they do mind those emos and scene kids...with their tight pants and black nail polish.

Probably because seeing such things makes them feel uncomfortable and out of place. They thought they knew how people were "supposed" to act. But they were wrong. So they hate these white boys for making them feel wrong.

Answer 4

It isn't racial, it's just stupid.  And people can be stupid, they have the perfect right to be.  It's actually entertaining to see Marky Mark and his Funky Bunch ordering food at McDonald's.  "Yo awright gimmee sum fries an uh yeah gimmee a Coke and yeah right alright gimmee me a QP with chee.  Awwww h**l yeah that's the MickyD BOMB y'all"

Answer 5

Because they are pretending to be something they are not, and also they can't do it well.

One example - Tim Westwood, what a joke!
