I don't like it when other groups of people address me with like "what up yo?" or something.
It took time and understanding, but I found that some people don't really mean any harm.
They are generally trying to connect. Like when they see a person from another country and they try to use a non-English phrase.
Also, there are people now, of other races, who grew up around black people, and they feel comfortable using terms that normally wouldn't be used...
But it is really offensive to me.
I also think in some ways it is integration gone horribly wrong.
My mother said that in some ways our races learned the wrong things from one another.
There is a young hip hop star, very good, and he has a "grill" .
I was like Wow.
You know, some things are wrong no matter who does them, white or black or another race/culture.
I wish white people would take good things out of black culture, instead of aping our bottom barrel people (i.e. notorious rappers, Michael Jackson, etc.)

Black people tend to be pretty hip. Blacks have led the way in music, they tend to lead the way in sports as well. Blacks are often percieved as hipper, more clued in, thats just how it tends to look. People tend to like to imitate the people they admire.

They are attracted to their lifestyle.
It's like someone getting himself in oriental atmosphere, whearing buddist monk outfit, and listening Jpop.
It's pretty usuall thing, nothing to be concerned off. If you are thinking they ofeend you or your real lifestyle, don't be, just think of them as of joke.

They are just wannabes, trying to find a niche that fits them properly. Nothing wrong with trying to find your place in the world, I think.
