I mean it pisses me off to see countless whites asking why we (African American's) wear our clothes this way, why we talk that way, why is our name spelled this way. Or what about this "How do African American's think they're going to get respected with gold teeth, sagging pants and fouls mouths?" Leave us alone and engross your selves in your own culture or lack thereof...Could that be reason for your infatuation hmmm I wonder!!!

We have our own venues,channels, events because were not incorporated in white Americas!!! Duh
We wear want we do because we want to....does that make us less deserving to be respected as an equal part of the human race.
(Be careful how you answer that, some 1 might think ur racist !!!)
You that make negative comments about our cultures our outsiders looking end and could never understand the dynamic that created it. I sense that some of your our angry and find our culture "digusting as you say"? Well our culture is being sold around the world right now as commodites and you know who the number one consumers of rap music are WHITE MALES do you know who own those stations that supposedly cater to blacks WHITE MALES. Sadly, for the most part blacks are consumers and not producers so think about there are some big WHITE bucks out there parading this image. You officially classify your selves as stupid when you ridicule, undermine, or degrade something you could not humanly comprehend.

My guess is that many of them genuinely want to understand the culture better and have a better understanding of why people do things differently, and I think that's admirable. The others are probably just being a**holes.

You have to remember that one culture's normal is another culture's weird. I'm Eastern Cherokee and find the whole gold teeth, sagging pants and foul mouths thing gross as well--that has nothing to do with just white people. When you do something, be prepared to explain why you do it to the dominant culture. I have to do that with some of our Cherokee customs, so get used to it.

As a Black person, sometimes I am amazed at some of the "cultural norms" associated with young Black people. (My own son included). We have had numerous discussions regarding his clothing choices and his music choices (although I fully acknowledge that I cannot make his choices for him). Truthfully, I am equally fascinated by some of the norms associated with white America. I conclude that we should all live and let live and if a particular trend or choice offends or perplexes you, then don't make that choice for yourself.

Are you saying all blacks have gold teeth, wear their pants sagging, and have foul mouths? You are just as bad by making a broad generalization about whites by grouping them soley based on race.

They need to keep tabs on their property...I mean citizens, CITIZENS!!!
Don't let the horrid racists who troll this site give an impression of "white America". I lived in Virginia, only black family on the block. Very few racial incidents. The worse was my friends mom. Even the friend was disgusted.

Hey, I don't care if it's green, orange, purple or black, any guy that pulls their pants down and rubs their underwear on my furniture is getting a knuckle sandwich. I'm supposed to not notice that??? Let me put it back to you. Why does what our great-great-great-great grandfathers did mean you can do any f*cking thing you feel like and I'm suppose to ignore it?

OK, 1st off, white people do not lack cuture. We just do not have to display ours with cheap grillz and $50 gats. Secondly,I am not sure who you are talking about, but I do not care what black people are doing. HOWEVER< it is true that it is hard to respect someone with saggy clothes, gold teeth, etc. Inversely, it is equally hard to respect a person with dip in their mouths, flannel shirts, tight wranglers, and cowboy hats. It goes both ways!!

Your question is the PRIME example for why there is so much hate and discontent between whites and blacks. Think about it for a minute and the answer will come to you, i'm sure.

I'm white and I'm not obsessed with that, those white people are racist; so are black people that say whites can't dance and have no butts, prejudice is just stupid.
