When I am out with my black friends, they can start conversations with black girls by saying, "Hey Sister"...

Question

How come that doesn't work with white girls, as a white guy?

Answer 1

I don't hear that one anymore they call each other "girlfriend"
now.

Answer 2

Lord no!! If a republican or any white politician made that remark, they would be slaughtered by the media. That is one of the things that makes me crazy..the fact that black people say garbage like that all the time and it's ok but let a white person say that and we are the racist pigs of the century. This country will never have equality between the races until black Americans stop playing the race card. They need to get over themselves, let go of the past and stop hiding behind their race every time something goes wrong. That my friends, is a typical black..hide behind your race every time you don't get that promotion or someone says something about you personally. See it everyday and an totally sick of it. All that stuff is enough to turn someone racist and it needs to end. My personal thing is to call people on it when they do that because it is just so detrimental to everyone around.

Answer 3

Because some of the terms used by black people are different than white people.

Answer 4

I personally think that "Hey Sister", could be treated as a slang word saying What's up, or How are you doing? If is no magical word, but just a conversation starter. I am pretty sure if you said Hi or What's up to another young lady of a different ethnicty, she would reply back to you with a hello.

Answer 5

Black people started the whole slang thing with rap, so when white people try to say it, it just doesn't come out right.I mean think about it, there are only about two known white rappers!

Answer 6

cause since white people and black people basically talk differently then the same kind of talk wont work for everyone.

Answer 7

Cultural barrier.

Answer 8

You have to make friends
