Whites think that being themselves aren't Cool enough so they try to adopt a more Hip Persona thinking that they will be better accepted in this Hip Hop Society but they only make them selves look corny because they ARE indeed White and White people really know nothing about Hip Hop like Black People......
Black people are indeed Trendsetters for this nation.

There's no such thing as "acting black". The term is acting or being urban. And if you noticed you have people of many cultures who act or are naturally this way. Stop telling people they are "acting black" or "acting white". Those are some of the stupidest stereotypes I have ever heard. Not all black people act the same way. And not all white people act the same way.

by way of fact of peer rigidity and the media. i in my view dont have a concern with people figuring out to pursue our lifestyle, however the challenge is that the media in ordinary terms uncovered the damaging stereotypes of AA people which makes others have self assurance theses component. i in my view dont have a concern with people performing in this form, yet i do unlike how the media portrays each black guy as a thug or drug broking. i recognize one component although, while that's time for that white guy to get a job he had greater advantageous ditch the bling and depart the slang at domicile, lol

Check this out ignorant dude, first what is acting black? Seriously. Im vietnamese and my wife is black/puerto rican. A lot of people say that I acted black or used a lot of slang but thats bullshit, some people do try to act "hood" or urban or streetsmart when they don't even have a clue, while some just can't help the enviorment that they have been raised in. I was raised in a predominantly black neighborhood, went to a black college, and till this day got mostly black friends, and they asked me the same question at a time, but when they got to truly know me and see what I been through at home then they apologize for saying that but its all good, because we all have our ignorance at times but if we can beat it then the world will be a better place, but that will never happen, but seriously they might be acting as you say "black" but don't judge them by just what you see or hear, they might not can't help it, and probably been through more **** than you have.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I wear a hoodie because it keeps me warm when it's too cold to just wear a shirt and too warm for my pea-coat. It's actually a fairly common type of weather, here in Western PA.
And you can't "act" any race.

Now what the f*ck do you mean by that? Give me Webster's definition of this "acting black." A "race" is a state of being; not an action...How can you have the nerve to call anybody retarded when you can't even spell it??? You are definitely the prime example of white trash.

Walk up to one of those people that you have described and ASK them why they act they way that they do. That is the only way that you will either get a straight answer or get knocked out. Since it is bothering you so much, go ask them.

You can't act black, white or any other race. Why? Oh yea, because they're races not behaviors. I don't do any of the things you just described so I guess I'm magically not black. Don't use stereotypes, they only make you look ignorant.

A better question would be why are people trying to act like anything at all. Why can't everyone just be themselves?

According to your definition, I don't act black. That's odd...because I feel black. And when I look in the mirror I see a black girl...
What is going on?
Oh, right!
Black is a race, not a behavior.
Stop feeding into the stereotype.
