It's trashy. I mean are other people not happy with their own nationality? I don't get why even black people dress in big beggy clothes and never speak proppery english. I can NEVER understand what they say even though I try and listen more. How did they ever start talking like that anyway?

I think you have been left out, the baggie pants the slang that you can't understand, it's called "Hip Hop" its a culture in which many children emulate. It's just the latest trend until the next one. . As for your comment on not speaking proper English or have you put it, "proppery English," this country has many accents and many ways of speaking I think you should go out and find a copy of "Source" magazine so you can familiarize yourself with this culture and not make generalizations.

I say your right- I didn't have any slaves, get over it we can't change the history of the world only learn from it and go forward. If we all sat around feeling sorry for ourselves our country would not be a great place to be. Get over it people, pick yourself up by the bootstraps and quit feeling sorry for your selves- don't degrade your self as a human being and a creature of GOD. Go talk to Bill Cosby or Oprah Winfrey they are so cool and don't have to "act black" they are so cool. -- Hold your head up proudly and be who you are not a wanna be. Don't forget to pray like hell too---- GOD WORKS WONDERS WHEN YOU WANT TO HELP YOUR SELF!!!!!!!

The black man is the most coppied in the world. You're white so you dress how you dress and I dress how I dress. White people and black people have different styles, plus not all blackpeople are uneducated.

Some people do it to try to fit in or to present a "tough" persona by wearing different clothes or speaking a different way.

mostly because it's everywhere you go. if you live in the city go look out your window. normally you'll see both blacks and whites wearing those baggy clothes. and guess who started it. but if whites don't dress like that they get made fun of by the blacks.
none of these terms are ment to be racially hateful

Not to be racist but it seems to me that native and Caucasian gangsters are just wanna-bee's trying to act cool and thinking they are actual gangsters
And the language thing is "slang," "wazza mi homies" is example
